Senegalese-born R&B singer Akon returns with the follow-up to his highly acclaimed debut TROUBLE. The talented vocalist shows he's able to juggle a few different R&B styles from seductive love songs ("I Wanna Love You") to deeper dirges of self-reflection ... Full Description("The Rain") to heartfelt tributes to his homeland ("Mama Africa"). KONVICTED also has its share of hardcore hip-hop, with guest appearances from Styles-P and Snoop Dogg; Eminem even checks in on the official club hit, "Smack That."Rolling Stone (p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Akon's silky, instantly recognizable vocals have made him an in-demand hook dude..."
Spin (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]natches of melodica, strutting piano, and lightly toasted reggae grooves keep the album firmly rooted."
Entertainment Weekly (p.127) - "With his sensitive-guy croon and ex-con vocabulary, Senegal-raised singer Akon is the R&B thug of the moment."
CMJ (p.40) - "Akon is an absolutely magnetic vocalist..."
Vibe (p.111) - "The album's a collection of immaculately constructed songs....Akon creates a comforting consistency..." Hide DescriptionPurchase Konvicted CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chamillionaire The Sound of Revenge CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Konvicted album
 $12.45  
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's highlight is the utterly infectious single "Turn It Up," which boasts Scott Storch's distinctive chiming production and an appearance by Lil' Flip. Although fellow Texan ...
| | Fergie The Dutchess CD (2006)
Konvicted CD music
$10.85 
The association that versatile pop chanteuse Fergie (aka Stacy Ferguson) struck up with the hip-hop crew Black Eyed Peas (she was central to their hugely successful 2003 release, ELEPHUNK) proved she was capable of playing in the big leagues, and it was only a matter of time before the singer dropped a solo effort. THE DUTCHESS arrived in 2006 and was packed, not surprisingly, with slick, commercially viable pop-rap.
The first release on Black Eyed Pea will.i.am's record label, THE DUTCHESS seems intent on giving Beyonce, Kelis, and every female pop/R&B singer a run for her money. With production help from Polow the Don and will.i.am (who also contributes raps to a couple of songs), Fergie delivers a record that kicks out spare club tracks inspired by Missy Elliott and M.I.A. (such as the disc's lead-off single "London Bridge"), alongside sultry soul ballads ("Clumsy"). There aren't many surprises here, but THE DUTCHESS is a glossy, fun, and satisfying album, which is exactly what ...
| | Young Jeezy The Inspiration CD (2006)
Konvicted music CDs
$10.85 
His hypnotic grunt-heavy flow and intense vocal presence has listeners by the throat from the album's opener, "Hypnotize," on which he hauntingly chants, "Now I command you n*ggas to get money." On the production side, the synthesizer-driven beats from Shawty Redd, Midnite Black, the Runners, Timbaland, and Mr. Collipark, among others, range from nightmarishly seething to upbeat and dreamy, always rising and falling in effectively dramatic arcs. Young Jeezy has put together another instant classic, consolidating his position at the top of the Dirty South.
Still soaring from the enormous success of his 2005 break-out album, LET'S GET IT: THUG MOTIVATION ...
| | Eminem Presents: The Re-Up CD (2006)
Konvicted songs
$12.45
Shady protegees Obie Trice, Stat Quo, Swifty McVay, Kuniva, and Mr. Porter, newcomers Bobby Creekwater and Ca$his, as well as established stars like 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Nate Dogg are allotted time to shine. One of THE RE-UP's strongest assets, though, is the participation of another industry giant, the Alchemist, who (aside from laying down a handful of the album's tightest beats) worked as DJ archivist, putting the track list together to provide the necessary street mixtape feel.
A little over two years after his hugely successful fourth solo album, ENCORE, the Warren, Michigan, native and rap icon returns with a compilation album--originally conceived as a mixtape--that serves to showcase his own label, Shady Records, and its formidable line-up of artists. While EMINEM PRESENTS: THE RE-UP is far ...
| | Game Doctor's Advocate CD (2006)
Konvicted album
$12.45 
On his second major-label release, Compton rapper and former Dr. Dre protege The Game returns with more of the West Coast gangsta flavor that has been his trademark since the 2004 indie debut, UNTOLD STORY. DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE's production credits include a long and eclectic list of super-producers such as DJ Khalil, Will.I.Am, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Scott Storch, and Hi-Tek, but not, oddly, Dre.
That might be the point. It's a testament to Dre's industry weight that he can dominate an LP without touching it. While his beats are conspicuously absent, Dre's influence can be heard on every track. And on the rare occasions ...
| | Snoop Dogg Tha Blue Carpet Treatment CD (2006)
Konvicted CD music
$12.45
There's no question that Snoop Dogg is one of hip-hop's most beloved artists; Snoop has not only ridden with hip-hop from the margins to the mainstream, he helped get the big rig there. All reverence aside, though, the quality of Snoop's output has frequently come into question since the release of his undisputed classic, 1993's DOGGYSTYLE. While all his albums have had their share of hits, they've often lacked cohesion as Snoop aimed for broader appeal, catered to big-name pop guests, and alienated hardcore fans in the process.
But on his eighth effort, it seems Snoop finally has the formula locked down, seamlessly blending smoothed-out 1970s ...

| | E-40 My Ghetto Report Card CD (2006) Edited
Konvicted music CDs
$15.69
Having helped bring ghetto slang like "It's all good" and "fo'shezzy, fo'shizzle" to the mainstream (and all the way to the 'burbs in some cases), West Coaster E-40 has earned his place among hip-hop's groundbreakers. His 2006 album, MY GHETTO REPORT CARD, produced by Lil John and Rick Rock, is evidence that 40's innovative musical style continues to influence the genre both musically and linguistically.
The veteran rapper invites a host of guests, including Bay-area talent The Federation ("Go Hard or Go Home") and R&B crooner T-Pain ("U and Dat"), to ...

| | 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Bobby Brown CD (2005) Remastered
Konvicted CD music
$7.69
Conveniently timed to coincide with his reality-TV series, BEING BOBBY BROWN, this 2005 best-of collection presents Brown's finest solo singles from 1986 to 1993. The first member of the teen act New Edition to strike out on his own, the smooth-voiced Brown popularized the "New Jack Swing" style of R&B in the late 1980s and early '90s, most notably on the horn-and-synth-heavy "My Prerogative" (later covered by Britney Spears) and the pop-perfect "Every Little Step." Both are featured on this 11-song compilation, along with the hip-hop-tinged "On Our Own" (from the GHOSTBUSTERS II soundtrack) and a handful of tunes from 1992's BOBBY. Although Brown's chaotic personal ...
| | Dale Hawkins Rocks CD (2007)
Konvicted music CDs
$19.49 
This best-of features some of the rockabilly guitarist and singer Dale Hawkins's finest 1950s recordings, including his seminal hit "Suzie Q," which featured a 15-year-old James Burton on guitar; a rocking version of a children's nursery rhyme on "Little Pig"; and his feral performance of Willie Dixon's "My Babe."
2007 digitally remastered collection of great recordings done by the architect of "Swamp Rock Boogie". He will be forever identified with just one hit... but what a hit! Susie Q. Creedence Clearwater Revival , Elvis Presley & The Everly Brothers all recorded it along with many others. But Hawkins originated it and James Burton played the guitar lick that is forever etched in a rock 'n' roll fan's subconscious mind. But there was much more to Hawkins on Chess Records and 50 years later the full story is revealed on Bear Family. He came from the thriving Shreveport scene, alongside Elvis, Johnny Horton, Tommy Sands ...

I love everything about this cd. I'm surprised no one has mentioned my favorite "Gangsta Bop". The whole thing is well put together. This cd needs to be listened to loud with headphones to really hear it.
