N.W.A. and the Posse "N.W.A. and the Posse" Album Review
N.W.A. and the Posse
This album contains an amazing collection of notoriously difficult to find tracks! The album also features many underground rap artists with amazing talent, people like Fresh K, and Dr Rock, etc, as well as all the more famous artists Eazy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and the DoC. the tracks are some what different to what you would find on a conventional rap album, by listening to this album I got the impression that the artists who feature on it are the inspiration for many modern tracks. I have listened to this album several times over, and am not bored with it one bit! It is so different, and it's great to listen to some real rap music, rather than all this commercial new music that doesn't carry any real message, and blatantly done for the money and "fame".
If you are into rap music you should by this album, without question. If you are an NWA fan, or a fan of any older rap music, this album needs to be part of your collection. It's different style and some what experimental tracks are very interesting and are just plain cool.
No one who appreciates music could be disappointed with purchasing this.

MC Eiht "Death Threatz" Album Review
Musically Deep Gangsta Rap
MC Eiht and DJ Quik are probably the most interesting cats out of the mid 90s west coast rap scene. A beat ain't just a beat for either of them...it's art, it's music. It needs complexity, melody. And then, they stack their beats with some of the hardest gangsta themes ever recorded. Four letter words roll of Eiht's tongue like hello and goodbye. And Quik, well, if you don't know about his exploits with the ladies by now, you must be deaf. Interestingly enough, Eiht and Quik had a rivalry going on (Dollaz + Sense, Def Wish IV etc). I don't know much about what was going on streetwise but up in the recording studio, I think it has something to do with the fact that these two rappers understand MUSIC better than anyone else in the game. G-funkwise, Quik's the king of p-funk (talkbox, electric guitars, drums etc), while Eiht rules with 70s r&b/soul (slow laid back tempo, deep bass, melodic violins and instrumental solos).
Death Threatz is just another example of Eiht's distinctive style throughout his long career. This is gangsta rap at its best folks. Featuring 2 real classics, 3 near classics and solid g-funk era rap throughout, Eiht turns out another hit.
The first classic is Late Night Pt 2 and man is this song smooth. A west coast anthem for sure, Eiht recounts a night out gangbanging: "Unloads my strap like a real g should," "Stick the gat behind my back with an extra clip." The lyrics, as I said, are real hard. And yet, when put together with the music, the super funky and smooth bassline, drums and random percussions, it doesn't seem hard at all. This amazing contrast and contradiction is seen in much of gangsta/g-funk era rap but Quik and Eiht push the contrast even further. The "gangsta" is amped up, but not at the expense of the "funk." Both are amped up and brought to a new and confounding level. The second classic and one of my favorite rap songs of all time is "You Can't See Me" featuring Chill. Even smoother than Late Night, the beat is something out of Shaft or Dead Presidents (an homage to 70s soul). Here, the syncopated bass comes together with a fantastic set of strings in the background. The best part about this song, however, is the rolling drums, which bring a bluesy element to the whole thing. The last minute or so is just a classic instrumental solo. I dare anyone to find a more melodic beat in any genre. The sound created is beautiful, and yet, the lyrics, with a full dose of Eiht's trademark "g'yeahs," is hard, boastful, violent and menacing, like most gangsta rap. However, peep out the music video and listen carefully to the lyrics again. It's more complicated than that.
The near-classics are "Def Wish IV" where the tempo is sped up a bit but the funk remains. It's Eiht's comeback to Quik's diss, "Dollaz & Sense." I'll admit that Quik came hard lyrically on his diss but Eiht not only brings the rhymes but has a hard beat behind him. He even got Rob "Funksta" Bacon, Quik's faithful guitarist, to help tear him up with some hard instrumentals! Another gem, musically. "Ain't Nothin 2 It" slows things down a little and "Run 4 Life" which has a similar tempo, is also good.
G-funk era gangsta rap is not all simple. It's not just about the gangsta themes. Musically, Eiht turns out some of the best tracks in rap history...no joke. Haters should open their eyes and minds a little more. Pac, Eiht, Quik and other real gangsta rappers are saying something, both in their lyrics and in their musicality on the boards...Classic 5/5

MC Eiht "Last Man Standing" Album Review
3.5 stars from Eiht
Eiht's 3rd solo album and last on epic is probably his second worst but it still is a must have for fans. It has it's good songs but also some bad ones, he even said himself it's his least favorite album he's done. It has 9 ok songs, 1 that I skip, 1 classic, 1 great song and trhe rest are good. Production isn't as good as it should be from the people who handled it, DJ Slip & Eiht (6 songs each), Daz Dillinger & Massive (1 song each), and DJ Muggs (4 songs) If only he got the airplay he deserves at least on the east coast (couldn't say for the west -much like Spice 1 or DJ Quik and many other Cali rappers) he'd have at least 10 million solo records sold and a bunch of platinum plaques.
