...write about my new CD, 100% Columbian from the "FUN LOVIN CRIMINALS". This isn’t the newest CD(1998), but I’ve heard one Song from the CD(Love Unlimited) and like it so much, that I’ve just got to buy the whole Album. Generally\Style °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° The "Fun Lovin Criminals" are 3 Guys from USA who started make music in 1992. The style of them is very difficult to explain. It seems like a Mix of Jazz, Hip-Hop & Rock. The most ...

In the background you can hear a saxophone. 2.Love Unlimited: The most ... Read review

Advantages: dancing tunes
Disadvantages: not enough songs

This album has 12 songs and the songs are very good songs, most of the songs are very catchy and the words to the songs are great. the songs also has a good tune. Although the songs are great I wish that they were a little bit more songs on the album. Prince has a nice voice so you will enjoy listening to him and even though the album only have 12 songs most of the songs on the album are long like the longest song on the album is the last song which ...
...that song is 6 minutes and 18 seconds. Most of the songs are 4 minutes long except for 3 songs. "Satisfied" is the shorts song because it is only 2:50. Satisfied is a good song and the tilte tells you want the song is all about. "Black sweat" is 3:12 and it is the number 4 song on the album and it is basical a song about dancing. The other song which is the number 3 song on the album and is called "te amo corazon" is 3:35 and that song is about a ... Read review

Advantages: Very good beats
Disadvantages: No consistency

Flowing fresh out of the oven with his fourth solo effort, Memphis Bleek's new album, 534, is blessed by one of the sweetest songs of the summer with the help of Jay-Z. "Dear Summer" has become an anthem, yet the album fails to follow through with the single, which comes at an early third on the track list. While the album is not groundbreaking or terribly concentrated, it is a complete and valid project. With "Dear Summer," Jay drops in to lay a ...
...perfect joint for a ride around the neighborhood. Just Blaze drops a dope beat to add to the harmonic soulful sample. While the album does read Memphis Bleek, he's an absentee landlord on "Dear Summer." Jay takes his time on the track to show love to the game for his fame and reminds us that S.Dot is doing his thing in Corporate America. Backtracking a bit to the album's title track, the first track, Bleek announces that he has arrived as "the next ... Read review

Advantages: Very good flow, some top tracks
Disadvantages: Very vocal (Even for Armin)

...off with the title track Imagine and going into 'Going Wrong' which is going to be massive this summer, all the way through the the beautiful 'Intricacy' at the end. It is a big shame that 'If You Should Go' IMO the best track he has produced since Shivers is not on the album. This is a suprise as Armin started playing the track around the same time he started promoting the album. The only other detremental thing I would say about the album is ... Read review

Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: No change from earlier albums

...the first week. 1. King Back This is an amazing start to the album, and the perfect way to begin an album for T.I.. Although "Urban Legend" began in a similar way, you feel as though T.I. is more qualified to identify himself as the 'King of the South', and this great production behind him, you don't want to argue this claim by him. Just Blaze's beat opens it up in a relavent way to suit his status in the South with applause and horns before he ...
...**Five Stars** 2. Front Back (feat. UGK) This is one of my favourites tracks by T.I. due to all of the elements which make it work. The foundations of it are that it samples a Dirty South classic jam by UGK called "Front, Back, Side To Side", and features the original artists as they gained mainstream fame with re-written verses. It is such a big collaboration for the artists, and acts as the biggest one which he as done to date, as previous relaes ... Read review
