Mack 10 "The Recipe" Album Review

Mack 10's Recipe For An Average Album (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars)
Mack 10's third album "The Recipe" is nothing special for this reviewer. On this album I find Mack 10's gangsta style lyrics to become repetitive and brings nothing new with this album, not to mention a guest appearance on almost every track. A lot of this album has a lot of skip that flows throughout. The first song that stood out was "Money Just A Touch Away" featuring Gerald Levart (R.I.P.), as he rhymes about him comming up in the rap game. Another dope track would be "Ghetto Horror Show" with Ice Cube and Jayo Felony. Mack 10 teams up with Snoop Dogg over an old school beat for the song "Long Beach & Inglewood". Mack 10 teams up with a lot of guests. Many East Coast and Down South, as well as some West Coast rappers who hit (Big Pun, Buckshot Shorty, ODB, MC Eiht), and some who miss (Jermaine Dupri, Foxy Brown, Master P, CJ Mac (sorry I can't stand him)). That can really cause an imbalance on the album and have some filler tracks like "Made ******" and "You Ain't Seen ****". Mack 10 closes the album with him addressing the critics on "The Letter", followed by a rock sounding track "Should I Stay, Or Should I Go" featuring Korn and Ice Cube. I enjoy Mack 10, but personally believe that he lacks charisma of carring an album by himself, and find it better when he is either rhyming in a group (Westside Connection), or being a guest on someone else's album (which might explain the high amount of tracks that feature guests). This album has your average dated topics and common material that might have sounded good back in 1998, but years later is dated. There are a few tracks here and there, but not enough to keep the album togeher. I find that this album is more suited for east coast listeners than it is for west. I understand the unity that was going on back then due to the circumstances of recent events, but this album pulls too far from it's west coast sound that makes the music sound the way it should. Unless you're a hardcore fan of Mack 10, I recommend that you find this album at a used price. Peace.

Video Mack 10 "Foe Life"

During the mid-'90s, when West Coast rap reigned supreme, Mack 10 emerged as a close associate of Ice Cube and enjoyed several years of considerable commercial success before his popularity faded toward the end of the decade. The Los Angeles-area rapper's greatest success came early in his career, on the albums Mack 10 (1995), Bow Down (1996), Based on a True Story (1997), and The Recipe (1998), which between them included a string of notable hits ("Foe Life," "On Them Thangs," "Bow Down," "Gangstas Make the World Go Round," "Backyard Boogie," "Money's Just a Touch Away").

Mystikal "Unpredictable" Album Review

No Limit Classic
\Anyone trying to tout the former glory of No Limit Records should be happy for CD's like Mystikal's "Unpredictable". This disc is by far one of the greatest No Limit releases, right there along with "Ghetto D",and "Tru 2 Da Game". Tracks like "Born To Be A Soldier" showcase the perfect marriage of No Limit Soldiers over Beats By the Pound tracks. The songs "Man Right Chea" and the title track are vehicles for Mystikal to fully showcase the depths of his rapid fire delivery and gruff vocal tone. Any real Mystikal fan would tell you that Mystikal was close to his best on this CD. Definitely a good idea to pick releases like this up because you can't really get these in stores anymore (tell P to pay his producers you need bread if you produce 10+ albums a year).

Romero "Monte Carlo Nights" Album Review

Best Vegas Rapper
Romero is the best rapper from clika one. His first album was off da hook and so is this one. If really appreciate rap you will like his music. He has tight beats and tight flows. Buy this album, its worth it.
