There are a few average songs but plenty of good ones to listen to from what was going to be the last album from one of the best rappers/producers in hip hop history. Beats and lyrically this album is very much what E has been doing in recent years. Beats with nice samples and a funky theme to 'em and lyrically some brag rap with some witty and comedic lyrics at times. It's one of those albums between a 3.5 and a 4 for me, but I'll go closer to a 4 it as most tracks are nice. Fans of The Green Eyed Bandit won't be disappointed. Best Tracks: Street Hop, Chillin, I'm Not Him, Feel It, Listen, Can You Hear Me Now

Best Tracks: Grand Concourse Benches, Therapy

Firstly, a huge big-up to Frank on the PlayStation boot up sample. Every time I hear that I get a bit of enjoyment and think of all the good times that it brought. Anyway, after a few spins of this, I can't say that enough of it blows me away, and there are a few tracks that I don't feel much at all, particularly in the middle of the album with songs such as 'Pilot Jones'. I like my R&B to build up (see the best of R. Kelly), and I don't think many of these songs do that. They end as they begin. There are much stronger vocalists in the R&B world as well. Best Tracks: Thinkin About You, Sweet Life, Pyramids, Lost

The rapping here sounds like lots of other artists. There aren't really distinctive voices among the MCs and it's a pretty standard underground hip hop feel there. The beats by Pete Rock aren't his best over the 16 songs, but there are some great ones such as 'Step Up'. A solid album, but there aren't enough real high moments to rate it any higher. Best Tracks: Step Up, Life I Live, Fakin Jax, What You Say

I enjoy this album more than Twista's last album, 'Adrenaline Rush 2007', but that's not saying a huge amount. While I don't necessarily like everything on F5 I can listen to it all the way through. Some choruses though really let down some of the tracks including 'Talk to Me', 'Walking on Ice', and particularly 'Birthday'. In saying that, they wouldn't be great tracks with a great chorus, but any fire Twista spits is ruined by them. Overall, about half of the songs I enjoy to some degree and half I could live without hearing again. Worth a listen for any Twista fans as it contains the same sort of stuff as he has done on his last few albums. But again, like Twista's past material, it's let down by some weak choruses, too many tracks with lacklustre production and too much filler. Best Tracks: Misunderstood, American Gangsta, Hustla, Talk to Me, Yellow Light, On Top, Wanna See 'Em Buss
