| | YoungBloodz J-Bo: Atl's Finest CD YoungBloodz Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
As one half of that pillar of ATL crunk, Youngbloodz, J-Bo has garnered fans and industry accolades galore on three highly celebrated albums. On his debut solo effort, J-Bo softens his signature lyrical onslaught a tad, coming with a subtler crunk flow on smoothed-out, R&B-influenced tracks such as "Make Me Rich," "Pull It Off the Lot," and "Back to You." Produced by Vince V, Derrick "Sack" Johnson, and Big Hollis, ATL'S FINEST sees J-Bo passing the mic to but one guest MC-- fellow Atlanta resident Lil Scrappy--on the furious "I'm Still a Problem."

$16.05  
It is difficult to overcome the suspicion that DUETS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, the Notorious B.I.G.'s second posthumous "studio" release, is a blatant case of opportunism. The late rapper's legend towers so hugely over the hip-hop landscape, and his name has taken on such iconic grandeur, that it's absurdly easy to cash in on his musical legacy. DUETS recycles unused Biggie material, looping it artfully along with performances by some of the finest MCs and vocalists in the hip-hop and R&B community. Since Biggie's parts are sometimes minimal, however, those looking for a disc full of new music from the late icon may be disappointed.
Still, the album is an affecting listen, which is largely due to the spectacular assembly of talent. With a roster that includes the likes of Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Mary J. Blige, and Biggie's widow, Faith Evans, among many, many others, DUETS works nicely as a tribute and a testament to Biggie's influence on the evolution of hip-hop. As much a cultural artifact as a music release, DUETS will appeal to hardcore Biggie fans and, in general, music fans interested in how hip-hop builds and maintains its own mythology.

DJ Khaled comes from the DJ Clue school of disc-jockeying. He isn't known for his production skills and is far from a master turntablist. What he does have, though, is connects--mad connects. And as his second full-length release, WE THE BEST, shows, DJ Khaled's connections extend far beyond Miami city limits, as Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jadakiss, Beanie Siegel, Juelz Santana, and Young Jeezy are just the tip of the iceberg. With production from Cool & Dre, Beat Novocaine, ...

Shortly after Emusica Records released The Player: A Man and His Music, a double-disc compilation of Willie Colón's Fania output spanning a 20-year period, from the mid-'60s to the mid-'80s, Sony BMG countered with a decade-spanning compilation of its own, La Historia: The Hit List. The big difference is, Colón's Fania output greatly overshadows his recordings for Sony, which came later, mostly in the 1990s. Not that Colón's Sony efforts were poor. They're quite good, in fact. It's still the same Willie Colón, after all, and he's still in good voice, if less lively than he had been during his prime. As for the music accompanying that voice on the Sony recordings, on the other hand, it doesn't come close to rivaling that of the Fania All-Stars. No question about it, the salsa sounds of the '90s -- the work of Sergio George notwithstanding -- generally pale in comparison to those of the '70s. And so it is with Colón's later work for Sony: it pales in comparison to his prime, when he was a leader of the Fania movement. La Historia: The Hit List brings this distinction into clear relief, for it includes a handful of Fania classics ("Che Che Colé," 1969; "Pedro Navaja," 1977; "Usted Abusó," 1978; "'Oh Qué Será?," 1981) under license from Emusica, in addition to ten Sony recordings from the '90s and one RCA recording from the '80s ("Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon," Criollo, 1984). The four Fania songs are front-loaded here, and indeed, they kick-start La Historia: The Hit List in grand fashion. Boasting respective lead vocals by Héctor Lavoe, Rubén Blades, and Celia Cruz, these songs are timeless classics. From here, La Historia: The Hit List can only dip in quality, and following a couple more standouts ("Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon" and "El Gran Varón"), the music downshifts gears, from great to good. Nonetheless, La Historia: The Hit List is a welcome addition to Colón's catalog, which had been lacking a high-quality Sony-era compilation. In the end, it's ...
