CD Review: Fabolous - There Is No Competition 2

Fabolous has a new mixtape and it is your standard deal with some original tracks and a bunch of songs over already used industry beats. I am not a huge fan of the whole mixtape thing but if you are a fan of Fab then you will like it regardless.
He has the usual songs with Paul Kane and some new collaborations with Nicki Manaj and Trey Songs. Fabolous comes off well on most of the songs but some of the lyrical content these days is just so played out. We need new subject matter in Hip-Hop!
Either way check it out!

CD Review: 3 The hard Way - Dj Hurricane and Dj Scratchez

This is a well put together mixtape. Some of the artists are Cassidy, G.O.D., Fabolous, Lil Wayne and more. Most of the songs are pretty good exclusives that you do not hear that often. An artist named G.O.D. is a newcomer on this CD. He has a unique flow that keeps you hooked to hear what he is gonna say next. He almost seems too laid back on the track but it works extremely well for him. I have never really been a huge Cassidy fan but all of the Fabolous songs are well worth it. Jay-Z and Fab bless a track called Money Goes, honey Stay which is a remix I have never heard.

CD Review: Fabolous - Losos Way

I have always been a huge fan of Fabolous. His latest CD is good but pretty much the same old same. I hate to say it but the subject matter in Hip-Hop is getting a bit stale. Everybody is talking about the same stuff. So even for a very talented artist and lyric writer such as Fabolous, he is running out of ideas! In general the CD is solid but I just cannot get over the subject matter. Nothing has really blown my mind in Hip-Hop in a long time. At least he doesnt use auto-tune.
The production is solid but some of the tracks have too much singing!!!

All in all if you are a Fabolous fan then you will most likely enjoy this CD. I can imagine the younger generation of Hip-Hop lovers will really like this CD but for a person like me being a hardcore fan of Hip-Hop for over 25 years, everything is boring!
