Another uninspired pop-rap album from Nelly where the best moments are the guest stealing songs such as Nelly Furtado and Trey Songz on 'All Around the World' that feels more like a solo Trey song than Nelly's. Best Tracks: Rick James, Headphones, All Around the World

The actual production on most of this is very likeable, albeit with some uncreative sampling (eg. 'Poo-Putt Platter' - where DOOM hasn't added anything to the sample at all), but the annoying tedious skits, that are attached to most songs and make up the middle of the album, make this harder to listen to than it should be. As I've mentioned in previous reviews, I've never thought much of Daniel Dumile on the mic. All of the features are more enjoyable to listen to rap than him in my opinion, but it isn't too bad. Best Tracks: One Beer, Deep Fried Frenz, Rapp Snitch Knishes

There isn't a lot here for DMX fans to get too excited about. 'Put 'Em Up' and 'Fuck That Bitch' are probably the best tracks here but I heard them months ago on a solid better unofficial mixtape called 'Walk With Me Now (The Prequel)', so they've lost a bit of their appeal. In the middle of the album, DMX goes missing a bit with too many guest appearances, I'm almost positive I've heard the verses AZ spits on 'Nowhere to Hide' before on one of his recent albums, and like many Siccness releases because they are short you can listen to the whole album without an issue, but there isn't much that blows you away. In saying this though, I enjoy most of this enough to give it repeated listens but I don't think it will come out too much in the future, and I'd only recommend this to big fans of Earl Simmons who may get something out of this release. Not too bad for a mixtape though. Best Tracks: Put 'Em Up, Fuck That Bitch, Nowhere to Hide, I've Seen.

I had this album for quite some time before I listened to it, I'm not sure why I was putting it off. The only thing that stops it from being 5/5 is that there are 2 or 3 tracks that I don't like enough, largely near the end of the disc. Also, the sound gets minutely repetitive toward the end of the album. Nevertheless, this is an essential early '90s hip hop LP with a handful of classic songs. Best Tracks: Award Tour, 8 Million Stories, Midnight, We Can Get Down, Electric Relaxation, Clap Your Hands.

Consistent boom-bap with some standouts like 'Mad Bent', that is fire. Unlike a lot of popular female rappers, she doesn't play around with any pop or sex themes. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★ Best Tracks: All Glocks Down, Mad Bent, Sendin 'Em Back, No Doubt
