Advantages: Deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Not much variation. Not suited for many

The Dead Presidents are an underground Hip Hop group from Florida. They are very alternative for their gene as they explore themes many would not dare go into. They give an 'in-your-face' approach to educating people on politics, racism and religion, despite the fact the duo are atheists. What they are also known as, dead prez, is written without capital letters for a reason although I cannot remember exactly, I think it was something along the lines ...
...special, so why should special characters be used for their name. dead prez are said to be "somewhere between N.W.A and P.E. (Public Enemy)". So if you think of this combination, you will have the hardcore elements of the West Coast gangsta rap group, but their message will be more political, and is able to be heard by public that are more likely to take action as a result of it. dead prez are nothing like any other Hip Hop group, they are a group ...

Advantages: Very original
Disadvantages: Concept to album doesn't hold on

Released in 1996, "ATLines" was the second album relase by the pioneering Atlanta Hip Hop duo OutKast. It wasn't until much later on in 2001 when they released "Stankonia", coming out with singles such as "Ms. Jackson", "B.O.B." and "So Fresh, So Clean" when they received mainstream attention. I felt that in comparison to "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik", the debut record from them, this was less experimental, showing that they had worked out a ...
...sound with other duos in the region such as 8Ball & MJG and UGK, and without them, we may not see the domaintion which the Dirty South may over Hip Hop today. 1. You May Die (Intro) 2.

I felt that this was a strange foundation, but in made for a very ... Read review
