The Game's "The R.E.D. Album" Review

After what seems like years of album dates for this album get'n pushed back The Game returns with "The R.E.D. Album". Ummm let's just get straight to it shall we...

Dr. Dre plays the narrator role to kick off the album which I'm ok with cause I love albums that have a theme to them. Then The Game spits furious bars on the opening track "The City" ft. Kendrick Lamar who reminds me of a young Ras Kass. But on track 3 "Drug Test" ft. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg is where it immediately takes a f*cking nose dive smh. DJ Khalil's beat sounds like a old scraped Dre beat & Dre sounds boring as if he had better things to do besides spit'n a 16 on that wack azz beat. & Snoop spit like a 6 bar recycled from his Doggystyle album smh (Ed Lover voice) CMON SON!!!

The Tyler The Creator assisted, Weezy on the hook "Martians vs Goblins" is actually a breathe of fresh air considering the track right before it (Drug Test) was SUPER GARBAGE!!!


Track 7 "Good Girls Go Bad" ft. Drake is a dope track. Game shoots a lil diss at the reality show "Basketball Wives" when he spits "Drizzy, I'm sit'n here watching Basketball Wives, Like eeeeew those are pos to be Basketball Wives?" LOL I found it funny cause I tought the same thing (but that's a whole other story).

Track 8 "Ricky" Inspired by everyone's favorite hood flick "Boyz-N-The Hood" is actually nice track, musically & lyrically. The song has the BNTH samples throughout the track making u reminiscence on that faithful part in the movie when  Ladies Love Morris Chestnut aka Ricky got his head blown the f*ck off , damn. LOL calm down ppl it was just a movie.

"The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" & "Heavy Artillery" ft. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel mos def keeps the album slap'n but ummmmm one question. When did B-Sigel become a Blood? This dude says yo Game "Wassup Blood" eeerrrrrrr pump ya brakes Beanie smh (Ed Lover voice...again) CMON SON!!!!

Track 11 "Paramedics" a solo performance by ATL'S own Young Jeezy seems waaaay outta place, like why was this track even put on the album? It's as tho someone was mad at Game & played a horrible trick on him by placing a Jeezy track on his Album without Game knowing anything about it #Weird

& just when things couldn't get more weird, the hardcore R.E.D. Album turns into the soft R.E.D. R&B Album O_O tracks 13, 14 & 15 "Hello" ft. Lloyd, "All The Way Gone" ft. Mario & Wale & the cheesy attempt at radio friendly sappy single "Pot Of Gold" ft. Chris "Slap-A-Hoe" Brown. Some rappers can get away with this, i.e. Tupac, LL Cool J, T.I., Rick Ross, just to name a few but someone like Game??? HELL 2 THA NO!!! (Ice Cube voice) Keep It Gangsta!!

Final Analysis: The Game is mos def one of the best MC's in the game today, not just the West Coast, but the rap game period, but garbage efforts like this makes me wonder if all those previous album delays for this album may have played a part in why this album really didn't live up to the hype. On that note I'm giving this album 2.7 outta 5 SLAPS. Do you agree or disagree? Lemme know in the comments below #Deuces

Lil Wayne "The Carter 4" Album Review

So after his concrete vacation & a few guest spots & a couple mixtapes later (Sorry 4 The Wait was GARBAGE) Weezy F. finally gives the world his long awaited & highly anticipated new album "The Carter 4"




Ummm let's start with the album cover. Reeeeaaaalllly Weezy? A pic of  yourself as a youth with tats included was veeeeeerrrry creative.....NOT!! Packaging means a lot ppl, believe it or not, & that cover didn't help in the "I can't wait to hear this" depot.

The first track "Intro" is cool & kinda sets the tone for the rest of the album. To be honest tracks 1-6 actually slap, especially "MegaMan", "6 Foot 7 Foot", & "Nightmares Of The Bottom". But it's track 7. "How To Hate" ft. T-Pain where I almost tossed my Mac out the window. Unlike most ppl I actually like T-Pain, but that damn Auto-Tune gotta go, sheeeesh. Makes me feel great that these two never released that T-Wayne album smh, thank you Jesus.

The Carter 4 gets back on track with banger #8 called "Interlude" ft. Tech 9 & Andre 3000, but oddly enough Lil Wayne is not on this joint. Luckily he's not cause Tech & 3 Stacks murdered the track & I don't think Wayne wanted to try & follow that without his ghost writer Drake...umm I mean his homie Drake O_O

I mean let's keep it 1hunid, the more I hear Weezy the more he sounds like Drizzy #Sumthinaintright

"Abortion" GARBAGE, "How To Love" SUPER GARBAGE", John Legend saves "So Special"....waaaay to many *Yaaawwwnnning Moments* on this album for me. But all is not lost. Bun B, Nas, Bussa Bus & Ex Bad Boy Shyne (Shyne is still GARBAGE) lend their skills to the "Outro" track. While "Mirrors" & "Two Shots " ends the album pretty nicely.

Final Analysis: This is mos def not my fav Lil Wayne album & this does nothing for his self proclaimed "Greatest Rapper Alive" rants (that title goz to Mr. Eminem) yeah I said it. Although I feel this is far from a classic album I do feel Weezy has at least one more classic in him....somewhere. He needs to get that hunger back cause he sounds to relaxed. Maybe this Beef with Jay-Z will inspire him to stop f*cking around & (Waka Flaka voice) Go Hard In The Paint!!!
So I give it 3 Outta 5 SLAPS. Do you or agree or disagree? Lemme know in the comments #Deuces

Welcome To "My Smart Dumb A** Album Reviews" O_O

 First off I wanna thank you for following / adding my blog. NOW let's be clear, I'm only gonna give you my HONEST OPINION so if you agree or disagree, that's fine, no worries, but let your thoughts be heard by leaving a comment. I'm not here to judge or do spell checks so say what's on your mind & let it rip.

 My scoring system will be a "SLAP SCALE" from 0 - 5 (yes a artist can get a 0 believe it or not). 0 = End Your Career Now, 1 = Reaaly? WOW!!, 2 = You Get A Pass, 3 = I Can Dig It, 4 = This Slaps, & 5 = SLAPTASTIC!!!!

 I will review albums differently, some track by track, some a long or quick run down. I'm not trying to put anyone to sleep but every artist & album is different so I'll figure it out as I go along. Bottom Line if it's WACK then it's WACK!!! I'll be reviewing R&B, Rap & maybe other genres depending on the feedback & suggestions. Also if you're a artist & you want me to review your material I would be moooooore than happy to do so, but it's tough love with me so if you get butt hurt easy then you may not wanna let me judge your work lol.

 Ok strap on your seat belt cause this ride will mos def get bumpy lol....LET THE REVIEWS BEGIN!!!!
