CD Reviews

Good Playability - all the way through!
J. Barrell | Sacramento, CA | 10/15/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'll first start by mentioning I'm from Northern Cali, so for me to give this album 5 stars says a lot in my book. I came across this album on Amazon, heard the samples and decided to buy it - What a Great Decision that was, definitely well worth the money. I have to admit that I was pretty hesitant as I was concerned he might go off the deep end like most latino So.Cal rappers do, talking about "blue rags and So.Cal" and diss Northern Cali but that doesn't happen on this album. Lil' Rob just gives a lot of props to Cali in general and the West Coast which I think only helps build his fan base. Overall I can listen to the album all the way through with the exception of skipping maybe 2 tracks. This is definitely a great cd to throw on in the low low and cruise!



The best tracks are "Slow it Down ft/Frankie J", "Do It Again", "Do it", "Stuck with You" and "Just One of Those Dayz".



A standout track is "Microphone Rippin'" - this track really showcased LR's lyrical abilities and was pretty impressive.



"Cortez Shoes" was also a great track - anyone that grew up in the hood and has struggled in life should be able to relate this track.



I think the only dissappointing track was "Fast Life" - not that it was bad but it just seemed too similar to many other songs that have been done lately, similar in song content and beat.



With the amount of hating that goes on in the Latino rap game(due to gang affiliation reasons), I think if LR keeps his raps focused on just giving it up for the West Coast & the Lowrider culture he can really extend his fan base to a lot of latino's that would normally shurg at the thought of listening to a So.Cal latino rapper.



I plan on going back and buying his first 1218 album & Neighborhood Music."
