MMG PRESENTS ... SELFMADE 3 -REVIEW
One of the strongest out this year. So far the best of the three so far. One and two had all the hit singles but that's it. This one has the flow and all the elements for a great full album that you can play from track one to the last track.
The Lil Snupe Intro starts of things with a bang with a dope track and lovely beat. It sets the tone for what's to come.
Gallardo with Trina on the hook is like hot ... Trina gets guys hot. Trina gets me hot. Trina has a dope body. Trina is the full package. The get yo dick hard package, Miami style. This track is put out as Gunplay track but naw man. This aint Gunplay shit.
The Plug follows you of with that MMG trademark flows ... Meek Mill snaps atcha like a little pesky dog snapping at your heels. Kinda irritating but he got the skills to pay the bills. Meek is Meek but he aint that that meek. Maybe Meek will inherit the earth.
Lay It Down features currently incarcerated Lil Boosie. As per usual he rips the track to pieces. Like if you would put a chop in meat grinder. I heard other songs called Lay It Down before. Track is dangerous even putting $100 000 on Zimmermans head for killing Trayvon.
Beat Billionaire knocks out the dope Stack On My Belt featuring Wale, Whole Slab, Birdman and Rick Ross on the hook. This track can easily become a street anthem. Raps are flowing smoothly into each other and makes a pleasure to listen to. Street rap hits are made of these. Just keep on driving.
Stalley goes the solo route on Coupes/Roses. Over a laidaback beat with horns and aaahs he sits back n relaxes and spits his shit. His solo EP also available now.
I like smooth tracks. Pusha T appears on the smooth Know You Better with Fabo! Laidback and smooth the duo supports Omarion on this here track.
Rockie Fresh solos it up on What Ya Used To with Hit Boy who appears and is also the beat whipper. He raps and he whips beats.
16 tracks all in all it is a dam good solid offering.
- remember its all about the beat. Continue Reading

2 CHAINZ - B.O.A.T.S II : ME TIME (REVIEW)
2 chainz hits us again with the follow up to his debut album BASED ON A TRUE STORY. moving close to the age of 40 2 chainz still has the goods to take it take to the top and keep it there. and also to hang with the young ones.
2 chainz still got the flow he made us all 3 years ago like him. wordplay and delivery is one of chainz strong points.
to prepare his fans for this outing he released the catchy and bouncy FEDS WATCHING FEATURING PHARRELL. the song didnt come out with much fanfare but it gradually grew on you. peeps was singing "... i be fresh as hell, while the feds watching ..." pharrell on the hook and the beat.
(video not available on certain mobile devices)
I DO IT FEATURING DRAKE AND LIL WAYNE is a stand out here. Drake comes close to and kills it on here.
BEAUTIFUL PAIN is probably one of the many MASE comebacks in the last two years. not so bad track here.
NETFLIX features FERGIE dropping a verse. other standout tracks include, FORK and 36.
2 CHAINZ has overcome the sophomore slump with this one. you can even say this one is better his first.
- remember its all about the beat!

REVIEW: Z-RO - TRIPOLAR EP
zro the mo city don hits us in 2013 with this EP TRIPOLAR....
straight out the gates ro hits us with I'M ALIVE .... "the reverent is a gangster we got witnesses in the choir" over an organ induced beat ro flows and whips haters.
LOOK GOOD is typical ro, with his singsongy style he whips this track into mission...."if you dont look good and i dont look good, you better bring me my cheese"
STALKER is a smooth ass track which staunch ro fans will really like, it reminds you of tracks like haters got me wrong etc. it features a janet jackson beat sample. dope! thi one goes real smooth!
JOY starts of like some old ass rnb track , ro does on here what he does best. some dope dope ass singing here. interspersed with his raspy raps!
fellow TEXAN kirko bangz features on the last track PORCUPINE. take a listen ... its about woman and shaving down there ......
here is the stream .....

REVIEW: JAY - Z - MAGNA CARTA HOLY GRAIL
| 1. | HOLY GRAIL (featuring Justin Timberlake) prod by: Timbaland jt starts of with an almost unrecognizable singing here, over a piano. jay doing what he does best, rhyming off the top of his head. he is the goat. just an intro track here. a nice full track when jt sings the hook further, one can see why why jt is so soulful. the dreams name is written all over the hook though, sounds like something he would write. | ||
| 2. | PICASSO BABY prod by: Timbaland timbo whips this track. whip it just like he can, one can hear he is a track whipper! he a known track whipper! he makes tracks with whip aPpeal, jay feels right at home here. drums sound a bit like they could be live and not programmed or just sampled live drums. | ||
| 3. | TOM FORD prod by: Timbaland a futuristic bare bones jolt on your ears is TOM FORD. orgasmic at times which gives you that similar feeling when richard gere put a gerbil up his anus. yes its that good. jay completes the track with his witty lineS as per usual. songs like this make you wanna play with your private parts. | ||
| 4 | FUCKWITHMEYOUKNOWIGOTIT (featuring Rick Ross) prod by: boi 1da/Timbaland/Vinylz ross rips this track, as only he can he starts off boasting even mentioning reeboks. jay just, just keeps up with ricky, this is one of those classic ross/jay combos. boi 1da has these cool background sounds on his track which is ILL! | ||
| 5. | OCEANS (featuring Frank Ocean) prod by: pharrell williams/timbaland A RIP ROARING BOUNCING TRACK RIGHT HERE! FRANK OCEAN STARTS OFF THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE JAY SETS THE PACE. " ONLY CHRISTOPHER WE ACKNOWLEDGE IS WALLACE!" PERCUSSION IS REALY REAL ON HERE AND FITS LIKE A GLOVE. frank ocean only can deliver on a track like this. his voice is bi-vocal. YES FRANK OCEAN ON OCEANS. | ||
| 6. | "F.U.T.W." prod by: timbaland "dont be good my man be great" another gem from hov, a roving rumbling booming bass-line by timbaland. jay here displays why he is deemed by many as the goat. you pick up that this beat was made for hove to spit over like just he can do. | ||
| 7. | SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA prod by: hit boy/mike dean a change up for producer hit boy , not trademark but gotta love the paino sample he used by johnny guitar watson. laidback yellow lambo in the driveway. | ||
| 8. | CROWN prod by: wondagurl/mike dean this one comes at you like mike tyson blow to the nose. hard and suddenly. this track alone will give you nose bleeds. | ||
| 9. | HEAVEN prod by: timbaland when you hear this track you wont believe timbaland produced it. is amazing. second time jay mentions a yellow lambo. whats up with that? its got that heavy new york thump to it. the chnge up towards the end is amazing. | ||
| 10. | VERSUS prod by: swizz beats the first of two less than a minute tracks. swizz slams this ditty, which interpolates sucka nigga by a tribe called quest. this is more like an interlude. | ||
| 11. | "PART II (ON THE RUN) (featuring Beyoncé) prod by: Timbaland album filler? some say this is bonnie and clyde part two. | ||
| 12. | BEACH IS BETTER prod by: mike will made it trap beat king mike will whipped up this 52 second track which is really disappointing as the track is dope but we only get to hear so little of it. | ||
| 13. | BBC (featuring Nas, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell and Timbaland) prod by: Pharrell Williams NAS MAKES AN APPEARANCE ON THE FIRST VERSE, HE DOESN'T DISAPPOINT, A POSSE CUT OF SORTS, YES YES IT SOUNDS LIKE BLURRED LINES . YOU WILL PICK IT UP IMMEDIATELY. | ||
| 14. | JAY-Z BLUE (DADDY DEAREST) prod by: timbaland the more you listen to this album you realize how much timbaland has grown as a producer. some great sounds coming from him and also on this track. an ode to his daughter blue ivy, also sampling vocals of the greatest rapper to ever live. | ||
| 15. | LA FAMILIA prod by: Timbaland closing the album down jay flips on some topics that is well known to all. a closing down track | ||
| 16. | NICKELS AND DIMES prod by: kyambo "hip-hop" joshua/mike dean ending off finally jays a&r in charge at roc-a-fella concocts this one here. its the album kanye should have made. |
SONIC BOOM: 4/5

REVIEW: ACTION BRONSON - SAAB STORIES
one of the 'it' producers of the moment harry fraud connects with action bronson to produce this project called SAAAB STORIES/
action has been around for a minute and before he started rapping he was a fire-flame gourmet chef. don't let his big body fool ya he comes forward with some dope rhymes. he was also included in the xxl magazines 2013 freshman class. many also compare him to ghostface killah when it comes to his delivery.
the ep starts off with 72 VIRGINS featuring big body bes. just an intro track nothing major here.
THE ROCKERS featuring wiz khalifa displays actions amazing lyrical delivery and producer harry fraud's talent for creating them oh so orgasmic sound back drops. wiz adds his trademark flow to a complete track.
NO TIME reminds of a das efx track ... anyway it as all the elements of a good hip-hop track which you can bob your head to. action has punchlines for days.
the first single is the witty and funny STRICTLY FOR MY JEEPS.
one of the standout tracks must be the dope ALLIGATOR. braggadocios rhymes over a trap beat, you ned to listen this loud.
prodigy and raekwon help action finish off the ep on SEVEN SERIES TRIPLETS. harry frauds production is growing in leaps and bounds. he samples a lot which is good in a time where every beat you hear has its origins from the laptop.
a must listen. action bronson has got it!
- it is all about the beat Continue Reading
REVIEW: J.COLE - BORN SINNER
... with more traditional beats and rhymes, j.cole hits us with his sophomore, Born Sinner.
j.cole has a lot resting on his shoulders. i would freak out if i was signed to roc nation and had to come up with an album that will be able to go head to head with one of my mentors.from the outset on tracks like VILLUMINATI cole comes straight at you and lets you know that he aint here to play around. and that he means business.
cole has definitely stepped up his production skills up a notch. giving us a fuller sound. since the beginning of the album i caught myself nodding to coles beats n rhymes.
what can be said about POWER TRIP. but that its indeed a powerful song. production stands out among other trap laden tracks you will hear on your local radio. i like this one just for that baseline.
RICH NIGGAZ is on some other shiz. laid back with a harp sample, this one is cool. we can deal with it.
FORBIDDEN FRUIT features Kendrick Lamar over a electric relaxation sampled beat. which brings back memories, nostalgic at times.
some funny moments on CHAINING DAY. TLC or what is left of them features on the radio destined CROOKED SMILE. it is good hey i can deal with it. love the beat though.
jermaine cole still has a long way to go if he wants to take the big boys on. i like what he is doing its amazing.
- remember its all about the beat!!!

REVIEW: KANYE WEST - YEEZUS
ON SIGHT [Prod. Daft Punk]
with daft punk helping kanye out on production here, it sounds a lot more futuristic than anything i have heard before, sans dre 2001. ON SIGHT
displays kanyes genuis as a producer. the beat sounds like something that your up and coming bedroom producer brother would do. you can hear that he went crazy whilst playing the mpc towards the end of this track. kanyes usual
braggadocious delivery comes acorss here.
BLACK SKINHEAD [Prod. Daft Punk, Travi$ Scott (co.), Mike Dean (add.)]
starting off with and eerie voice sample in the background over heavy bass 808's provided by uber producer mike dean this track means business.
a likable track that will get the head nodding.
I AM A GOD (feat. Justin Vernon) [Prod. Daft Punk, Hudson Mohawke (co.), Kanye West (co.), Travi$ Scott (co.), Mike Dean (add.), Rick Rubin (add.)]
starting off with a rumbling deep speaker breaking 808 base and a capleton sample. i am a god is an insane exploration of crazy and insane. def jam founder rick rubin was brought
in because the initial album was dark.
NEW SLAVES (feat. Frank Ocean) [Prod. Daft Punk, Travi$ Scott (co.), Hudson Mohawke (co.), Mike Dean (co.), Kanye West (add.)]
a track that takes one back to the eighties/nineties when public enemy, x-clan, bdp etc ruled hip hop.an eerie track. you can say that this was
the lead single of the album.
HOLD MY LIQUOR (feat. Chief Keef & Justin Vernon) [Prod. Young Chop, Mike Dean (co.), Arca (add.), Rick Rubin (add.)]
fellow chicago natives young chop and chief keef joins ye on this ditty. track has this recurring horn that sounds like an alarm in it. not the
the sort of track that one would expect from young chop. but be rest assured he just layed down the basics here.
I'M IN IT (feat. Justin Vernon) [Prod. RZA, Travi$ Scott (add.), Mike Dean (add.)]
robert diggs aka rza whips up this track that has a change of tempo almost 1 minute into the track. justin vernon once again adds his vocals to this
one. a lil' dubstep over here, here.
BLOOD ON THE LEAVES (feat. Tony Williams) [Prod. TNGHT, Kanye West (co.), Mike Dean (add.)]
autotune makes a comeback! just when you thought ye ditched it, it makes a comeback here. vocal a nina simone sample added and chopped for good effect.
with some hectic end of days horns coming in at about 1:34 minutes
it makes the track bounce at ya from the speakers. a little c-murder/no lmit influence here.
GUILT TRIP (feat. Kid Cudi) [Prod. Symbolyc One, Arca (co.), Travi$ Scott (co.), Mike Dean (co.), Ackeejuice Rockers (co.)]
power producer s1 is on this one. it samples the hook and other elements of pusha t's blocka for this songs hook. some head nodding beat here.
kid cudi adding his melancholy trademarked vocals.
SEND IT UP (feat. King L & Iamsu) [Prod. Gesaffelstein, Arca (co.), Daft Punk (co.), Hudson Mohawke (add.)]
when daft punk's name is in the production credits, best believe its some crazy sounds you are about to hear. send it up is no exception. crazy sounds
that will make your mom evict you. warning: dont pop a molly to this! king l is rumoured to have dropped a freestyle verse on here.
BOUND (feat. Charlie Wilson) [Prod. Kanye West, No I.D., Symbolyc One (co.) The Heatmakerz (co.), Rick Rubin (add.)]
a typical kanye produced track that contains a soulful sample. this one takes you back to college drop out.a brilliant beat with charlie wilson
on here. lots of samples up in here.
Kanye's most experimental work to date. it will take a few more spins to get used to it. typical kanye braggadociary. a musical masterpiece.
- Remember its allabout the beat!
