EPMD "Back in Business" Album Review
This is what happens when great groups breakup...........
The landscape of rap had changed dramatically in the 5 years that EPMD was broke up. Due to the major drama in hiphop that went down in the preceding 12 months, E & the P decided to make amends and drop another joint. This joint is just okay. Nothing like the 4 classic joints that dropped between 88 and 92.

Eve "Scorpion" Album Review
More Eve
Eve, a tough uncompomising rapper combinating female anthems and non-nonsense uptempos, had great success with her debut album "Ruff Ryders First Lady" that was produced mostly by Swizz Beats from just the Ryff Ryders group, hence the name. The album was one of the best Hip Hop albums of that year, and was also critically acclaimed, but she didn't get alot of hits from that one. 2 years later in 2001, comes her sophmore album that is quite simular acually. But Swizz Beats had less impact on the songs this time, producing only 5 and letting other Ruff Ryder Protegés (Teflon & Dj Shock) and then Dr. Dre and his crew shining on some songs. Like other reviewers already mentioned, If you liked Eve's debut you'll like this one too, It's an equally strong effort with great songs combinating both street credability/commercial appeal and great lyrics that sometimes are quite deep aswell. First song "Cowboy" is a decent starter, but it's song number 2 and 3 that made Eve a hit-machine. The first one being the Latin inspired Swizz Beats song "Who's That Girl" (bigger hit in Europe then in Usa) and then "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" a commercial beat orineted song that reached a fantastic #2 position on the Bilboard charts. That song feautured Gwen Stefani and production from Dr. Dre and his protegés Mike Elizondo and Scott Storch (both of them are today top producers on their own). The album moves on with a rendez-vu from her last album called "You Had Me, You Lost Me" a female anthem about leaving a man that can't behave. A super catchy Swizz Beats song called "Got What You Need" with Drag-On, why wasn't it a single?. Two other female rappers Da Brat and Trina joins in on "Gangsta B__ch" a decent song aswell while Dre's crew shines again on "That's What It Is" where Styles P appears. We'll find DMX again on "Scream Double R" a thug song, and ditto with "Thug in the Street" with Lox and Drag-On. The oddest song on this album is a reggae cover of "No No No" with Bob Marley's son Damien, it Feels abit out of place actually. "You Ain't Gettin' None" is more girl power. One of the best and deepest songs however is "Life is So Hard" with Teena Marie that makes a spectacular performence. Closer is called "Be Me", a cut that feautures Mashonda (now married to Swizz Beats) It got great beats but lyrics that mostly seems to deal about materialism and her own archivements. But based on what happened to her during these two years, you could understand her reactions. Conclusion is: Eve plays safe and makes a second album with simular concept, what differs the two albums most is the two standouts singles that helped her get big chart success. Other then that, there's many simularities between the two albums and if you liked her first you like her second to. There isn't much else to say then to give her props for a another good album.

Fat Joe "Don Cartagena" Album Review
The Last "Official" Fat Joe Album....3.5 Stars
After 2 successful gems(Da Gangsta Represent and Jealous One's Envy)....the fat one may have possibly put out his last "good" album with 1998's Don Cartagena....backed by quite possibly every A-list producer at the time and guest appearances by everyone who was well established in the game might make this a gem to the minds of many. However, unlike its 2 predecessors, I found this one alot more to be desired after track 2(The Crack Attack). However, the posse cuts "Triz" and "Terror Squadians" are 2 of the best posse cuts I have heard in quite sometime there is evidence of Joe falling into the "let me brag on how much money I have....glitz and glamour category" that has was becoming the talk of the town during the late 90's. It's unfortunate that many mainstream artists change with the times no matter how long they have been around. However, Joe still maintains a very decent flow on this album and Terror Squad's guest appearances may be what keeps this release above water.

Fat Joe "Jealous Ones Envy" Album Review
Solid Album From Fat Joe, 4 Stars
This ain't anywhere near his best effort like mentioned before but it's still a strong effort from the Bronx MC, there's some hot beats and raps on this album like "My Lifestyle", "We Thuggin'(both versions), "Fight Music", and "Get The Hell On With That", much respect to Joe Crack the Don for making that real hip-hop
Video TRUE Shit - Fat Joe's Still Real
Arguably Fat Joe's best work. Listen to Don Cartegena express his emotions like never before.
