Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This is the album that put T.I. on the map. He hasn’t really gotten a whole lot better lyrically than on I’m Serious, but he has diversified his subject matter. The result is a deeper album, with lots of replay value. The singles are dope, like   Be Easy, 24s, Let’s Get Away, and the anthemic Rubber Band Man. Theres some other good stand out songs like Look What I Got and I Still Love You. The album closes on an even note. This is one album that if you missed out on it, you need to hear it.     I give this album a 8.75/10. Its not excellent but it is great.

-Janelle’s first official album is a classic. Lyrically its excellent, and every song feels like it belongs together with the other songs on the album. The album has few guest spots, but they aren’t really needed. Tightrope is a great song which features Big Boi. The album is just so creative and well executed. There is an occasional moment where things seem like a bit too much, but those moments are few and far between.  I give this album a 9.75/10. I can’t wait to hear more music from her.

As you know in this blog i have previously listed 50 of my favorite rap albums....but those albums werent in order. So I have made a RANKED list of my FAVORITE Rap albums. This wasnt an easy list to make. I will make a R&B list like it soon. Enjoy! 1)       Kanye West –Graduation             I've said alot about this album. Its just so much fun to listen to. It's also a very varied album, that i havent been albe to put down since i bought it in 2007. I dont think its Kanye's best album, but this isnt a best of list. This is my favorite rap album. Usually when i didnt know what to listen to, i would fall back on this album. 2)       Ludcacris- Word of Mouf          You may not know this, but this was the first rap album I ever owned. Its a lot of fun to listen to. The production is pretty good, but Luda is a clear star of the album. I think this is Luda's best album although Chicken & Beer is close. This album also has great track placement and coh
