Professor @ Large 2012 Album

Large Professor

Large P, while perhaps following a similar formula that he has for years, can still make some great beats that don't sound out of place in the current era. This album flows between bangin' beats and raps, to instrumental hip hop, most of which are really damn good. Before listening to this album I hadn't thought of Large P when thinking of the best producers/rappers, but after listening to this album he has to be mentioned amongst the likes of Paris, Erick Sermon, Kanye and so on. Upon listening to this it quickly gave off a similar feeling to another album that won't be too far from my best of 2012 list-The Next Logical Progression-with its funky beats and great vocals. The album perhaps loses a touch of steam towards the middle with the 'Barber Shop Chop' and 'Live Again', but it's only a minor trough. Overall I love most of the beats, the rapping is top-unlike other producer albums which are ruined by producers thinking they can spit-and it rarely lets up. As mentioned, while Large P hasn't created something overly original with this, he has created one of the most enjoyable hip hop albums front to back in a while. ♪Kick Da Habit♪ Best Tracks: Key to the City, UNOWHTMSAYN, Focused Up, Light Years, Mack Don Illz, Sun, Star & Crescents, M.A.R.S.
