Six years since their debut and with little mainstream notice, Dirty make their 2005 play for the big time by acting less like OutKast and more like true thugs on the ambitious Hood Stories. No doubt, this is a duo to root for. Dirty are scrappy and ambitious, and Hood Stories aims to be taken seriously with introspective tracks and political numbers playing a larger role than usual. It's admirable that "Git Cha Handz Off Me" addresses police violence and that the plaintive reflection of "Sometimes" and the smoky "Just a Little Bit Mo" are fleshed out with some poignant rhymes, but revolution songs and entirely deep numbers seem out of Dirty's reach this time around. Hood Stories comes alive when it gets out of its own head and hits the streets or the clubs. Inspired bangers like "Let's Ride" and "Da Hood Back" connect better than any of the ghetto ballads, and slinky grinders like "Behind Ya Duke" and "Rolie Polie" show the two are more inspired and gifted when dealing with booty. Hood Stories satisfies in fits and starts, but it tries too hard and overworks producer Maximillion by not calling in more help. No great embarrassment for the hard-working crew, but not the career-defining moment they were obviously gunning for. ~ David Jeffries Hood Stories Music Review Purchase Hood Stories CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dirty Love Us Or Hate Us CD (2003)

Dirty: Mr. G, Big Pimp (rap vocals).
Additional personnel includes: Baby Pacino, Maxamillion, Lil Burn One, Twist & Wicked, Mr. Blue.
Producers: Maxamillion, Big Pimp, The Titans.
Big Pimp and Mr. G' Stacka followed up Keep It Pimp & Gangsta just over a half-year after its release with Love Us or Hate Us, and it's clear they had an agenda against their former distributor and some of the rappers who had cleared the mainstream jump, made obvious on the opening title track. Including lines like "Universal got us starving and hungry" and "You know I ain't lyin'/Half of 'em can't rhyme," ...

Personnel: Bun B; Jazze Pha, Juvenile, Lil Jon, Mannie Fresh, Mddl Fngz, Mike Jones , Paul Wall , Pimp C, Scarface, Slim Thug, T.I., Too $hort, Young Jeezy, Z-Ro, Lil' Flip, Devin the Dude, Petty Pueblo.
With his partner Pimp C struggling with legal problems and eventually incarceration, fellow UGK member Bun B was forced to go it alone. His Mddl Fngz project was satisfying and his guest appearances are always welcome, but with Trill he establishes himself as an exciting solo artist benefiting from both experience and the hunger of someone just joining the game. There's a ridiculously star-studded guest list to come, but before thrilling the listener with Jay-Z, Ludacris, Ying Yang Twins, Mannie Fresh, and even Too Short, ...
| | R Kelly TP.3: Reloaded CD (2005) Bonus DVD; Limited Edition
Hood Stories
$8.99
Personnel: R. Kelly (vocals, rap vocals); Do or Die, Elephant Man, Nivea, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Twista, Wisin, Yandel, Baby (rap vocals).
TP.3 Reloaded is thematically opposite to Happy People/U Saved Me. The first hour of the album is mostly about getting rowdy and getting it on, full of some of the clumsiest and lewdest lyrics R. Kelly has written. Funniest of all is the relatively tame "Kickin' It With Your Girlfriend," where Kelly apologizes to his woman for cheating on her, says he didn't mean to cause pain, proceeds to tell her about all about the affair, and in a roundabout way suggests that it's her fault for allowing him to cross paths with her girlfriend. With one or two exceptions, ...

Fantastic 18 track collection by the Soul legends Gladys Knight & The Pips. Featuring the hits 'Midnight Train to Georgia', 'Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me', 'So Sad the Song', 'The Way We Were - Try to Remember', 'Home is Where the Heart Is' and many more. Camden. 2006.
Gladys Knight & The Pips: Gladys Knight, Bubba Knight, William Guest, Edward Patten.
Greatest-hits collections by artists who recorded for a number of different labels throughout long careers are always a double-edged sword, and this Camden collection is no exception. This 18-cut selection is chock-full of great tunes and some monster hits -- but none of them come from Gladys Knight & the Pips' Motown period or before. Everything here was issued on the Buddah label in the 1970s, owned and distributed by Capitol. That said, what is here is amazingly solid: "Midnight Train to Georgia," "You're the Best Thing That Ever happened to Me," "Part Time Love," "Home Is Where the Heart Is," "I've Got to Use My Imagination," "So Sad the Song," etc. In fact, some argue (and they'd be right) that there is a serious case to be made for Gladys Knight's 1970s and early-'80s music -- rather than her work at Motown -- being her best. Camden is a British EMI imprint, specializing in reissues of this type. This comp sold wonderfully in Britain when it ...

Speaking of the orchestral arrangements: "... For one thing, he leaves enough room for his own inspired melodic improvising and that of tenor saxophonist and clarinetist Chris Collins, who channels Stan Getz to fine effect. Monear's crafty arrangements are also braised by subtle harmonic turns and some nice orchestration touches -- like ...
