Pursuit of Hip hop!

"Shouts out to Nappy Roots for keeping it true and real. This is a refreshing alternative to the drug , violent, ignorant, flashy, minstrel rap that seems to have taken over this past decade. Nappy roots delivered big time with this album Real, introspective, smart lyrics over organic hard knockin beats. Buy this album if u love hip hop that u can RELATE to and not FAKE TO. Otherwise go cop that new Wacka Flocka or drake album...like the rest of the sheep.
Favorite Nappy roots album best to last!
1. Wooden leather(classic point blank this album made me a fan)
2. Pursuit of Nappyness(Such a refreashing set of songs,beautiful muzic indeed)
3. Watermelon chicken and gritz (introduction to nappy hip hop from southern perspective)
4. Humdinger (This album kept the trunk of my 69 chevelle rattaling big time the whole summer)

"Self admitted hip-hop head. A lot of albums I get hyped over let me down with filler songs and distractions. It's been a while since and album/mixtape keeps me entertained throughout (last may have been Wale - Mixtape About Nothing), but this album is everything I could have hoped for. Very good production (still can't get over the opening track "Welcome to the Show") and no unnecessary features, which has plagued hip-hop for a while. It's Nappy Roots at their best - introspective, humble, and having a good time. People probably won't understand "Infield", but as a Kentuckian it brought a huge smile to my face when I first heard it. Other stand out tracks are "P.O.N.", "Ride", "Be Alright", and "Come Back Home".
While everyone is going to be listening to Drake - Thank Me Later (comparing only because they were released on the same day), I'll be listening to this. This is hip-hop, not rap with R&B for the sake of pop. Nappy Roots treats you like a fan, a lot of other artists/performers treat you like a customer."
Best Yet

"This is by far the best hip-hop album I've bought in a while (possibly since The Humdinger). Each of the five country boys stepped up their game and have put forth only their best work, I've got every album they've done including their mixtapes, and this might top it all. There's no fillers, no lame tracks, its all gold (hopefully platinum). There's a mix of everything from their trademarked southern swag to bangers that you could hear tonight at your favorite club. No hype, this album is huge, those country boys are doing it big, real big."
