Mobb Deep fans have waited a long time for the solo debut of Havoc (who comprises one half of the revered Queens hip-hop group). THE KUSH (2007) carries a feel that will be familiar to Mobb Deep devotees: dark, swirling, and full of a sense ... Full Descriptionof creeping dread and menace. Long lauded for his unique production skills, Havoc does not disappoint on that count, but his rapping, which couches hard tales of New York street life in a hypnotic delivery, is equally impressive. "Be There," "I'm the Boss," and "Hit Me Up" are among the highlights on the opening salvo from this iconic figure of East Coast rap.

Long before Houston rap came to define the sound of the Dirty South, UGK (the Underground Kingz), along with the Geto Boys, were holdin' it down strong for H-Town. While the duo of Bun B and Pimp C never achieved major cross-over success--spitting woozy gangsta tales a few too many years before mainstream radio was prepared for them--they gained a loyal fanbase and the respect of their fellow MCs (chief among them Jay-Z, who featured UGK on his classic track "Big Pimpin'").
After a brief separation marked by prison time for Pimp C and solo albums by both, UGK ...

The Kush songs
$12.45 
Given the remarkable critical and commercial success of 2005's LATE REGISTRATION, Kanye West's rich, rewarding sophomore release, expectations were high for 2007's GRADUATION. Ever savvy, West flouts those expectations by delivering a record that delivers curveballs while staying true to his sharply sculpted, commercially minded m.o. West's rapping, never his greatest strength, is still entertaining. He delivers witty, smart, sometimes absurd rhymes (he seems to take more lyrical chances on GRADUATION) that fit nicely with the overall feel of his tracks.
As usual, it's West's productions that stand out. While there are examples of his style-defining use of classic R&B samples and background choirs (as on the feel-good highlight "I Wonder"), West streamlines his sound to center on synth-driven lines, giving many of the tracks a retro-electro new wave feel. "Stronger," for example, another standout, is powered by a vocoder-drenched vocal sample courtesy of French dance superstars Daft Punk, which finds West again more comfortable in hip-hop's uncharted waters. The overall results make for a fun, inventive album that offers proof that West still has tricks up his sleeve.
Personnel: Connie Mitchell, Tanya Herron (vocals); Young Jeezy (rap vocals); Mike ...
| | Snoop Dogg Ego Trippin CD (2008)
The Kush album
$12.45
On album number nine, Snoop branches out a bit, assuming executive producer credits and working as one-third of the production team QDT (along with Teddy Riley and DJ Quik). While the production hovers around 1970s R&B, soul, and smoothed-out funk (with conspicuous samples from Marvin Gaye, the Isleys, Brooklyn Dreams, and Prince Phillip Mitchell), there are also a few curious excursions into '80s synth-pop ("Cool") and even country music ("My Medicine"). At the same time, Snoop's lyrics are all over the place. Over the course of the album's 21 tracks, he goes from mega-boasting on his fame and wealth ("Gangsta Like Me," "Staxx in my Jeans") to celebrity name-dropping ("Deez Hollywood Nights") to seductive talk-box crooning ("Sexual Eruption") and groupie-love anthems ("Life of da Party," "Those Gurlz") to bittersweet reminiscing on his rise from the hood ("Can't Say Goodbye") and dedications to his wife and kids ("Been Around tha World"). As the title suggests, EGO TRIPPIN' is all about Mr. Calvin Broadus, and therefore the outing contains just a handful of guest spots from Too Short, Raphael Saadiq, Mistah F.A.B., and Charlie Wilson.

Destiny's Child has been no stranger to controversy, and with three years of silence and three solo records following 2001's SURVIVOR, one might infer that the act was on the fast track to dissolution. The group's fourth record, 2004's DESTINY FULFILLED, put to rest any such ideas, as the now-solid three-woman lineup of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams offers up another helping of winsome R&B songs marked by a pop sensibility.
DESTINY FULFILLED opens on an energetic, adventurous note with the speedy drums and vocal acrobatics of "Lose My Breath," followed closely by "Soldier," ...

The Kush Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews kuSH
It's sick, but it needs some more dank beats its reaaaal repetative in some songs but others are mad good.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  expected more...
I really expected more of this album. If you hear beats that he produces for other rappers, they sound much doper than the beats he uses for himself. I'm a Mobb fan so it is in my collection, but I expected more bangers. By the way, why does he brings out an instrumental-album of the Kush???

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The worst half of Mobb Deep
Prodigy is definitely the one that carries Mobb Deep...This album is decent, its gotta few bangers, but nothin of substance or something you will remember later. Die hard fans of Havoc should cop this.
