2014 XXL Freshman REVIEW




Well...it's that time of year again. XXL magazine have released their annual freshman issue. Every year people anticipate this list and it seems like with each passing year it grows more and more popular. This year it took a little while but after strong deliberations from the XXL staff, it is now here. This years list caused quite the outpouring of shocked reactions. This years class features four Chicago natives, A couple of underrated lyricists (one of which was picked by the fans) and yes....for the first time ever, two singers. Which that alone caused controversy on Twitter. Needless to say, this years class is quite interesting. So let me get right to it and start breaking it down one person at a time:





August Alsina
- New Orleans, LA

Well...let the controversy begin. Right now, August Alsina is one of the more popular new singers on to the music scene. Key word: singer. On what is supposed to be a list of all rappers, many were outraged to see August grace the XXL cover as a freshman. Now I haven't heard XXL's explanation for this but  I can't imagine how they could defend. Whatever the case, August is still a freshman regardless the genre. Also his style is somewhat hip hop so that adds to it. I recently listened and reviewed his debut album Testimony which received positive feedback from his fans. As he continues to churn out hits following "I Luv This Shit", it should be a huge 2014 for August Alsina.




Chance The Rapper
- Chicago, IL

For some rappers that make their debut in hip hop, all it takes is that one mixtape. The one that pushes them over the edge. For Chance The Rapper, it was his sophomore mixtape Acid Rap from last year that put him over the top immediately. I had the pleasure of listening and reviewing that mixtape. His bizarre and "cooky" character made it quite a interesting listen. But the tape was cool. However I have to admit, he still has some growing on me to do. He may be a little...too weird for my taste. But it's easily understandable why he has such a strong following of support. He's even done a song with Justin Bieber already. How's that for notoriety? It's only the beginning for Chance.




Isaiah Rashad
- Chattanooga, TN

There's no question that right now, TDE is on top. So if it's found out that an artist has some kind of affiliation with the group then that artist will draw attention immediately. Isaiah Rashad was announced as a member of TDE in late 2013 and already has a huge buzz. It seems like he just debuted last week. Already he's dropped a debut mixtape, Cilvia Demo, which has gotten plenty of positive praise from both critics and fans. It was most certainly a dope project for a debut. Many, like me, were very intrigued to see how a southern rapper could mesh with a group filled with west coast MC's. His soulful sounds and lyrics make him a stand out in the group but in a good way. With TDE by his side, I have no doubt 2014 will be huge for Isaiah Rashad.




Jarren Benton
- Decatur, GA

He was voted by the fans as the twelfth and final freshman, and I couldn't have agreed more with them. Jarren Benton is one of few names on this year's list I'm excited to see make it. Last year  I reviewed his album My Grandmas Basement and it was easily one of my favorite albums of the year. His sinister lyricism and his wild, bizarre and down right vulgar shock-rap content makes him such a huge stand out among the rest of the freshmen. Jarren is now the third consecutive Funk Volume member to be named a freshman. I guess that's means all eyes are on Funk Volume and Jarren Benton looking into the future. I got my eye on them as well.



Jon Connor
- Flint, MI

If you tuned in to the BET Hip Hop Awards this past October, then you already caught a glimpse of what Jon Connor is all about as he participated in the annual cipher. That was actually my first time ever hearing him. Haven't heard any other songs or other projects. However, I've heard nothing but good things from people who listen to him. Based on what I saw on TV and what I've been told, he's more of the underground/lyrical/battle rap type of rapper. Which makes sense seeing as how majority of rappers from that Michigan area (specifically Detroit) fit that description. I'll definitely keep an eye out for Jon Connor in 2014.



Kevin Gates
- Baton Rouge, LA

Last year I heard about Kevin Gates right around the time his mixtape dropped. I actually had a few request from my readers to review it. Although I never got a chance to listen to it (or anything fro him for that matter), it appears he has good following of support. I'll probably have to go back and check that tape out now. Most Louisiana artists come straight from New Orleans. Let see if Gates can carry Baton Rouge on his back and put it on the hip hop map.



Lil Bibby
- Chicago, IL

Now...like many others, majority of this years list of rappers I've either never heard of or never heard music from. This is my first time being introduced to Lil Bibby. I've literally never even heard his voice. So there's not much I can say. But I assume the hype around him is because he's from Chicago, where they're just churning out talent left and right as this list indicates. I'll be sure to follow him more and see what the buzz is about.


Lil Durk
- Chicago, IL

....and the Chicago dominance continues. Once again though, I'm just being introduced to Durk. Never heard a song or his voice. Nothing I can think of to say. But just like Lil Bibby, the hometown thing is where the buzz is coming from I'm sure. I'm gonna have to check for all of these Chi-Town kids this year.





Rich Homie Quan
- Atlanta, GA

This one was certainly no surprise to anyone. Rich Homie Quan probably has the biggest buzz of any of the freshman heading into 2014. His record "Type Of Way" was certainly one of the biggest hits on the radio, and may be the sole reason why he's on this list. It's also why he has a growing support of followers now, and his successful mixtapes. Other than that song and a couple of guest feature verses, I have yet to hear a full project from Quan. His debut album will certainly be one to check out later this year.



Troy Ave
- Brooklyn, NY

With so much mid-west and southern love being shown, where's the east coast love? It's shown here by Brooklyn born MC Troy Ave. To some it's been a long time coming. He's been out for a while and some believe he should have been a XXL Freshman a long time ago. Now I've heard him rap here and there but nothing more than that. Since he's the only east coast artist, he definitely gotta put on for NYC in 2014. We'll see what happens.



Ty Dolla $ign
- Los Angeles, CA

From the lone NY representative, to now the lone west coast representative. Ty Dolla $ign's place on the list isn't quite a surprise either. He right now has one of the biggest and most popular records on the radio in "Paranoid". The infectiousness of the beat and the catchiness of the hook made people take a closer look at what he about. It's a perfect fusion of rapping and singing. Which leads to this question: Is he a rapper or a singer? Many see a singer which is why many were upset to see him on the list (like August Alsina). I just think he does both. Like Drake. Either way, his sound is what's popular now and he'll be looked at a lot in 2014. I'm sure of it.




Vic Mensa
- Chicago, IL

Well it's pretty damn clear now. 2014 is "Chi-raq's" year. Vic Mensa is another Windy City hopeful. He's also another one I'm just being introduced to. Well, I did get a opportunity to hear him spit on Asher Roth's Retro Hash album. But outside of that, nothing. He's seems pretty cool based on that guest verse. I'll definitely check for more from him this year.






Well, whether you love the list or hate it, these guys are now the ones to watch for this year. Hopefully everything goes well for them and they don't become "here-today-gone-tomorrow" rappers. Good luck to the 2014 XXL Freshman Class.

The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die THROWBACK ALBUM REVIEW




It was all a dream. Those are not just iconic words from a classic song. They are also words that perfectly describes the life and career of Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. From slinging drugs on the corner, to getting his record deal, to living a life of fame and luxury, to his untimely passing. It's a story so compelling that by now almost every one knows it. It's been told through his music, through books and now through film. 1994 was such a huge year for debuts in hip hop. Many of them were very anticipated. But none were more anticipated and more hyped leading up to the release more than Ready To Die. For you younger folks, think about the hype and anticipation leading up to 50 Cent's debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin. Same exact thing was the case for Biggie in '94. Many had no idea this album what remotely be what it became. This album was pretty much the total package as far as a the perfect hip hop album. The perfect combination of lyrics, production and originality. Also the perfect combination of radio songs, street songs and so on. Every song paints a vivid picture in your head of Big's life in a nutshell. His incredible lyricism and intricate word play just makes you feel like you're right there on the block in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn with him. The album just felt so theatrical. As if you were watching a film on the rise and fall of one of hip hop's greatest MC's, told through music. This album also played a significant role in revitalizing the east coast's mainstream sound. Which was quite absent due to the west coasts mainstream dominance at the time. I could go on with this beginning part of why this album is so triumphant but I want to get into breaking it down. So let's get to that. I have so many favorites on this album that it's impossible to place one above the other. I'll first start off with "Gimme The Loot". This track not only showed Big's true lyrical genius but it also showed impressive creativity. The whole thing with him portraying two different characters planning criminal acts and changing up his voice to play the other character was beyond dope. Nowadays that doesn't seem like a big deal to do but at that time, no one else was doing that with their music. Along with the creativity, it also showed Big's ability as an excellent story teller, which is put on display throughout this whole album. "Warning" is one of the singles and again we see his story telling wizardry come to play. The whole song is a phone conversation with a associate who's warning Big of the people that's coming after him and his wealth. The beat is so infectious. Well done by Easy Mo Bee. The video for this song (see below) tells the story more vividly as Diddy (or let's just say Puffy for this occasion) is the one on the phone with Big. It was a beat and concept that Big just straight up killed. Call the coroner. The lyricism on "The What" was absolutely thrilling. I repeated this song about three times when I first heard it. Again Easy Mo Bee comes through with another dope head nodder of a beat. This song features Method Man who is the lone guest feature. Man this is easily one of the best collaborations I have ever heard. Their chemistry, lyrically and flow wise, meshed so perfectly. I honestly believe this is a better collaboration than Big and Jay-Z on "Brooklyn's Finest". Sorry Jay fans. Then there's the main single "Juicy" and I don't even need to go into the full detail on this one. Even someone who has never heard a lot of Big's music knows very well about this classic record. This song is the ultimate rags to riches story told through one song. One notable thing about this album is the excellent sampling done on these beats and this song was no exception. Sampling the classic Mtume hit "Juicy Fruit". I mean this is a song full of so many quotables, so many memorable lines and brought the biggest feel good vibe of any track on the album. The other single "Big Poppa" features in my opinion one of the best sampling jobs ever in hip hop history. Big took The Isley Brothers timeless classic  "Between The Sheets" and straight up made it his own. To the point where if someone real young heard the Isley Brothers version they would say "who are these old guys singing on Biggie's beat?". My major gripe with many, many rappers today is their lack of ability to make a good song for the ladies. Take notes rappers, this is how you make a song for the ladies. DJ Premier is one of my top five favorite producers of all time and it should be obvious why. Just look at "Unbelievable". That's exactly how I would describe this beat as it's probably my favorite on the album. The hook is so catchy with the singing and the sampling one of Big's lines from "The What". But things get real on the final track "Suicidal Thoughts". This song was just too powerful for words. Bringing his lyrical story telling to the table, he makes a call to Puffy where he seems to be breaking down. Fed up with all the drama, all the wrongs he has done, he tells him hows he's contemplating taking his own life. It's so powerful because it plays right into the belief many people for years have had about Big. That he knew his actual death was coming. Still, one of the most moving, emotional and powerful hip hop songs I've ever heard. Everything from the trigger happy "Machine Gun Funk", to the Bonnie & Clyde inspired "Me & My Bitch", to the reggae sounds of "Respect", there's pretty much nothing not to like on this album. I give this a final grade of a A+. So...the question still remains. Did Biggie see his own death coming? Look at his album titles, look at some of the content of the songs. You could make a case that he did. But who knows. Regardless, Ready To Die is a triumphant album. Changing the rap game not just for the east coast but for all of hip hop and maybe all of music. It is an album that to this day is still recognized by all involved with hip hop as one of the best album of all time. You can clearly see the influence this album has had on the rap game as so many lines and beats have been sampled from this album from countless artists. Biggie was certainly ahead of his time with his lyrics and his unique story telling ability. It's sad that he's no longer here to see the impact that he and this album has had on hip hop today. Classic just doesn't describe it. It's simply a masterpiece. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one king of New York. His name is Christopher Wallace....and if you don't know, now you know. End. 



Final Grade: A+

Future - Honest ALBUM REVIEW





For quite sometime rappers have always been broken up into many categories. Not just by region or anything like that. You got your mainstream rappers, gangsta rappers, conscious rappers, underground battle rappers etc. But then...you have your rappers whose sole purpose is to make the radios and clubs hype. These rappers are not lyrical, some are not creative nor original, some of them probably only been rapping for a few years or less. All they are good for is catchy hooks with infectious party beats. Right now, Future is the leader of the pack in this category. When Future came into game in 2012 he gave you a bit of everything. A lot of rapping, a lot of singing and so on. What he also gave was chart topping hits. I mean we're talking consistently hit after hit. Pluto, his debut album, alone had about four to five top ten hits. It's probably the one thing he knows how to do best is make a hit record. It's why he's still around and didn't become a one hit wonder after "Same Damn Time". Well now he's back to get the party started again with his sophomore album Honest. If you've read any of my past reviews than you know that whenever I mention Future, I kinda rip on him. A lot. It's obvious I'm not a fan. Then after listening to his debut Pluto, I really was not looking forward to listening to any other projects from him. That album was nothing but terrible lyrics, awful singing, auto tune and average to barely okay beats. So needless to say, I was expecting the same thing pretty much. In fact, I expected worse. Well...looks like I got just that. It wasn't as awful as I was expecting but it still was not a good album. This album is pretty much a continuation of the last. Same terrible lyrics, same awful singing, average to halfway decent beats. This time however he had a couple songs where he kinda shifts gears as far as content which I'll address later. I mean understand, this is Future we're dealing with. There's nothing on this album that's creative or original and not a single lyric even worth quoting. All you get is party/club music with weak sing-a-long hooks. Now it's easily understandable why some people may like this album and are fans of Future. Simply because well...they like to party. But there are seriously other rappers similar Future who are better than him at the party/club sound. Even the southern trap sound which is also being half-assed on this album. This is the part of the review where I would normally give my positives about the album but honestly....I don't have any. The only, ONLY song on here that's has any kind of replay value is the single "Move That Dope". I do actually like the rugged grimey beat on here done well by Mike Will Made It. But it was the guest features from Pusha T, Pharrell and Casino that made the song. Especially that "knows better/nose better" line Pusha T dropped. "Look Ahead", the intro song, had a okay beat but Future's horrible rapping couldn't flow to the beat making it a bad listening experience. I swear it sounds like he has turrets when he raps. Like he just blurting out random words that coincidentally rhyme. This was the case on...well...damn near the whole album. I really hope the track "My Momma" wasn't really dedicated to his mom because if so, I'd be outraged if I was her. Despite a not-bad verse from Wiz Khalifa (believe it or not) it wasn't enough to help this. Whenever you gotta get on a track and drop a line like "fuck that bitch fuck that bitch fuck that bitch", in other words repeating yourself, your destined to fail. "Never Satisfied" left me scratching my head for so long. This was the most pointless song/skit/interlude or whatever it was supposed to be. First off it's supposed to be two minutes long but fades out right before the two minute mark. Drake's feature on this was beyond pointless. He only does the hook (I guess it's a hook?) and blabs about nothing. I truly think this was put on the album just so the album credits could say "featuring Drake" as a way to get people to listen. Then there's the track "Blood Sweat Tears" where he's seems to be trying to convince us listeners that he put his blood, sweat and tears into this album and gave it everything. I can't do nothing but laugh hysterically at that thought because I just don't see it at all. He gives his what I call the Migos flow on the track "Covered N Money" and as you probably could guess, not a fan of Migos either. So yes, wasn't feeling that song. Now let me get to the rest of these single. "Honest" is definitely the worst of them all. When it comes to him singing, I didn't think he could do worse than "Turn Off The Lights" from his last album but he did by miles. His singing is so horrendous that it's embarrassing. When he tries to hit a note, he sounds like he's in the middle of the ocean making whale calls. The rhyme pattern on "Shit" was just a cluttered mess. He's on this tracks talking about rappers who lie about what they have or do in their songs. Oh the irony. "Karate Chop (remix)" is cool for the clubs but nowhere else. It doesn't even sound like he's rapping actual words on this. I bet even Rap Genius couldn't figure this track out. Then he had the nerve to put Lil Wayne on the track like that would make things better. Oh really? "beat that pussy up like Emmitt Till", "my pockets so fat I'm starting to feel contractions". Super face palm moment. "I Won" is where I guess, were now comparing girls to objects. Trophies in this case. Lord knows I hope he's not talking to Ciara on this track. Speaking of shouting out wifey, Kanye West is on here and of  course he immediately starts rapping about Kim Kardashian. Lately he hasn't been able to do one verse without referencing her in some sort of way. It gets boring and I couldn't deal here. I could go on but I'm just gonna keep saying the same stuff about the rest of the tracks. Overall, this album was just...not good. That's the best way I can say it. All beats (somewhat), no lyrics. I give this a final grade of a D. Regardless of my opinion, it's obvious Future is doing something right. With so many hits and only two albums, he could be the most consistent radio wise in rap right now. Not a bad thing depending on how you look at it. But Future is just not for me at all. Some non lyrical rappers I can tolerate because of either beats or some kind of originality. With Future, you can even listen to him because of the beats because his God awful rapping is just hard to ignore. I don't knock those of you who are fans, all I'm saying is I'm not a fan. I probably won't ever become a fan and so far, this is the worst album of 2014. Sorry. I'm just...being honest. End.


Final Grade: D

Iggy Azalea - The New Classic ALBUM REVIEW




There once was a time in hip hop where many believed there were two types of people that should not be rappers. Females and white people. White rappers and female rappers separately have difficulty at times trying to make it in the game. So the thought of a white female rapper making it, to some, is a joke. Needless to say, Iggy Azalea has a tremendous amount of pressure on her to prove naysayers wrong. The Australian born femcee came into the game in 2011 where she released her debut mixtape Ignorant Art. She would immediately grab attention with her sexy yet raunchy single "Pussy". A track while very sexual, was filled with tons of attitude and cockiness. I think that's when many, including me, took notice that she's a bold chick. It was enough to get the attention of T.I. who ended up signing her to his Hustle Gang label. XXL Magazine also took notice as she became the first female rapper to be named as a XXL Freshman in 2012. Well now after a few EP releases, some promo singles and numerous push backs, here finally is her debut album The New Classic. I really didn't know what to expect going into this. Well...I kinda did. All I know is what I heard from Ignorant Art. I've heard nothing in between then and now. So I guess I was kinda expecting a little of the same and a little of something new. Well it appears that that's what it was. This album I'd have to say is barely average. The album lyrically, production wise and content wise it was pretty much what I kinda expected. However, some of it is what you typically expect from any debut album. Talking a lot about her come up, her personal struggle and all that jazz. Production was up and down. There were some that were cool and some that was just plain bad. Instead of the west coast hip hop style of sound that Iggy often imitates, the album gives off more of a dance/pop meets EDM meets trap rap. It's an influx of everything you hear on the mainstream airwaves today. Majority of the content wise is mostly a lot of bragging, boasting, shooting down haters and just a straight up "gives no fucks" attitude throughout the whole album. Just plain old flaunting and showing off. It's like the equivalent of a random Instagram model posting pics all day flaunting and showing off. Although Iggy doesn't come off as an attention whore like them. Anyway it's time to break down these songs. First off I want to address this. One of the main gripes many people have with Iggy is her voice and/or accent. Now mind you she is Australian and has a very thick accent. You add that plus her urban hip hop vocabulary and slang that she picked up while in the states and the result is this. I'll admit, her voice does take some getting use to. But it's kind of a good thing depending on how you look at it. It makes her stand out more from her peers. It's always a good thing to have a different and more unique voice. Okay now getting to these tracks. The second track "Don't Need Y'all" is her basically shooting down all her so called "friends" who want to be around now that she's making it but wasn't around before. A story we've heard so many times from artists. The beat is very slow paced and mellow. Almost sounds like a beat for a R&B slow jam. The Invisible Men, who produced 90% of this album, did a pretty good job of making a beat that captures the mood of the song perfectly. "100" finds her doing exactly what the hook says" Keeping it 100. About the things she has and wants. Or lusts for. The hook, done by Watch The Duck (who also produced it), is actually very catchy. On an album chock full of singles (four official ones to be exact), I could totally see this being one too. Speaking of singles, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the single "Fancy". The beat is pretty dope. It's produced by The Invisible Men but when I first heard it, I immediately looked at the album credits because it's sounds so much like a DJ Mustard beat. Even has the "ay! ay! ay!" ad-libs that DJ Mustard is known for. Her flow was good on here too. Really wasn't feeling the hook by Charli XCX but it didn't damage the song completely. I'll also give her a couple cool points for the "rooftop bringing '88 back" line which, of course, is a Nas line. Another cool beat, courtesy of StarGate, was "Black Widow". I love the happy jumpiness of this beat. Gives a fun vibe. Rita Ora gets on the hook and does okay for the most part. Her and Iggy sound like they have good chemistry. Must be an international thing. Now her flow was okay on "Work" but this song still has to do a little more growing on me. The beat catchy but yet average. Just like on "100", she showing how much of a go getter and a paper chaser she is on this track. I dig the message on "Impossible Is Nothing". It's one of those "never give up" songs dedicated to those trying to make it somewhere in life. Also speakings on the good and evil of fame. Despite a plain beat and hook, the message is what makes me listen to it. Now all that I disliked. Off top, "Bounce". By far the worst song on the whole album. The beat is so erratic and all over the place and you can just tell Iggy didn't really know what to do with it as far as her flow. The hook was poor as were her lyrics. If this was an attempt at a twerk song then it was a poor one. Sad considering that this is a single too. "Change Your Life" features her mentor T.I. and was a bit of a let down. Really wasn't feeling the stop and go beat on here. Again another weak hook. Despite an okay verse from T.I., even he couldn't save this. It also sounds like T.I. may have written some of Iggy's lyrics here because she's spitting just like him (she does on a few other tracks as well). "New Bitch" is where her cockiness gets the best of her. It's a track where she takes this chicks man, laughs at her about it, and basically tells her to get over it because she's his "new bitch". Sounds like some Facebook/Twitter drama. The kind of drama I really don't like. I bet there's gonna be some females that can relate and will like this but I'm not really feeling it. The whole back half of this album was just not good at all. Once it got to the half-assed reggae attempt "Lady Patra", from that moment on the album plummeted. "Fuck Love" weird electric dance beat. Again, a topic I'm not feeling. Her acting conceited saying she only loves herself and all she wants is the paper. Now I ain't saying she a gold digger....(insert Kanye meme). Then "Rolex" and "Just Askin" was two songs that I couldn't even stay awake to listen too. I guess that's why they didn't make the album and were thrown on as bonus tracks. Overall, this album was barely, barely average. Average to okay beats, average lyrics and average overall sound. I give this a final grade of a C-. There is no doubt, Iggy Azalea potential is through the roof. She has flow, she has character, attitude, swagger, and of course she's sexy. I must say though, it was quite ballsy of her to put the word "classic" in her album title. I think once she masters her lyrics and gets on better production, who knows. She just may drop a real classic that her fans want to hear. Good luck to her. End. 



Final Grade: C-
