CANIBUS - MIC CLUB THE CURRICULUM
Canibus "Mic Club the Curriculum" Album Review
Spittin The Truth, if you aint got this album you missin the proof
This is by FAR my favorite Canibus album. I havent heard Rip The Jacker, Hip-Hop for Sale or Mind Control, but this album is pure bliss. This man is the best lyricist ever! the most intellegent punch lines and bars ever. and the production is suprisingly good for an underground artist. Im not gonna say every song is lyrical fire, just assume it.
1. Intro
2. Poet Laureate - 4/5 - Pretty good beat.
3. Master Thesis - 5/5 - I know i said i wont say anything about it, but this song is the most lyriclly advanced song ever made.
4. Behind Enemy Rhymes - 4/5 - Very unique beat, and i like it.
5. Allied Meta-Forces - 3/5 - Both Canibus and Kool G. Rip this track to pieces, but the beat isnt too good.
6. Cenoir Studios 02 - 4/5 - Very adrenaline rushing beat.
7. "C" Section - 5/5 - I love this beat, very addicting.
8. Drama A/T - 4/5 - A Deeper song, talking about how our problems are bull plop compared to most problems.
9. Dr.C PHD - 5/5 - OMG! 3 minutes of straight spitting! no breaks, no hooks, nothing! this guy is amazing. The beat is right too.
10. Bis vs Rip - 3/5 - Probebly the weakest track on a very good album, a battle between him and his Alter Ego.
11. Liberal Arts - 4/5 - Good tune and lyrical fire.
12. Curriculum 101 - 5/5 - Another very advanced lyrical blaze, another without any hooks or breaks. amazing as usual.
13. Outro
Overall: 46/55
Average: 4.2/5
Amazing album, definatlly one of my favorites of all time. Worth the dollar for any hip-hop fan.
Video Canibus - Bis vs. Rip
Classic track from Mic Club: The Curriculum. If there're any mistakes, please let me know. This is a better quality video and now you won't have problems reading the lyrics.
BIG L - THE BIG PICTURE
Big L "The Big Picture" Album Review
Harlem's Finest part 2 (4 and 1/2 stars)
I heard of Big L threw the same friend that introduced me to Dead Prez's Let Get Free. I heard Lifestylez Ov Da Poor And Dangerous and was impressed. He has the craziest punchlines I've ever heard in a while. I also heard about his death in 1999 and decided to cop this album in 2005. Big L's posthumous album is unlike other posthumous albums because 1. It doesnt sound forced or put together slapdash 2. The songs are with people he would actually and has made songs with. Ebonics is Big L breaking down upnorth slang over a dope beat. The first single Holdin It Down with Stan Spit, A.G and Miss Jones was cool. The 98 Freestyle, The Big Picture and Size Em Up are vintage Big L tracks. Deadly Combination featuring 2pac(RIP) is an unexpected but fresh combo that works. The Enemy feat Fat Joe is another highlight as both of them talk about being harrased by cops. Big L also excells in storytelling which is evidenced in The Heist and Casualties Of A Dice Game. Platinum Plus feat Big Daddy Kane is fire as well as Fall Back feat Kool G Rap. The only tracks I couldnt get with is The Heist Revisited(the boring beat doesnt compliment his rhymes) and Games feat Sadat X and Guru(nice beat, iffy song). Bottom Line: Big L's The Big Picture does justice to the best thing to come out of Harlem. The album was kind of mellow in comparison to Lifestylez Ov Da Poor And Dangerous which was more hard edged. The Big Picture is still a great release that showed that Big L was a nice MC who could have been a force to be reckoned with in Hip Hop if he was still alive. Dont forget Big L and never forget this album. Standout Tracks: EBONICS, DEADLY COMBINATION, 98 FREESTYLE, THE HEIST, FALL BACK, PLATINUM PLUS and THE TRIBORO.
REST IN PEACE BIG L!!!! 1974-1999
