Think of Angie Martinez as the hip-hop Laura Cantrell, an influential DJ so deeply entrenched in her chosen scene that she decided to jump to the other side of the fence, becoming a highly regarded recording artist. When the host of New York's Hot 97 debuted in 2001 with UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, it was plain that she had something of her own to offer to the hip-hop world. Like its predecessor, ANIMAL HOUSE features a bevy of Martinez's famous friends, but her own voice and style are front and center throughout. Martinez's no-nonsense rhyming is ably supported by constantly surprising and inventive production, as on the emphasis track "If I Could Go," which mixes a Latin-inflected guitar line with synths that resemble nothing so much as the Microsoft e-mail alert tones. Fat Joe, Kelis, and others add their personal touches to the album, but it's Martinez who shines the brightest here.

It sucks You know hip-hop is at it's downfall when a wack lyic spittin' DJ comes out with an album. Where is the true emcees at. Beats aint the only thing that makes albums. It's bad enough that JaRule changed his style and Puffy's selling platnium records. Where tha skillz at!!!! Submitted by a reviewer (New York City) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
