(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rappers and DJ's unite on the The Real Deal to expose the corrupt music industry. This CD will appeal to musicians, starving artists, washed-up rappers, record company personnel, hip-hop fans and youths with huge amounts of disposable income.After hearing this album consumers and hip hop fans won't be brainwashed by music videos, advertising and commercial radio ever again. The Real Deal, a new creative direction for Bomb Hip-Hop, is fun, intelligent and interesting to listen to... the album major record companies do not want you to hear!Features Abstract Rude, Azeem, Foreign Legion, J-Zone, Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf, and Swollen Members. This CD is a rap compilation featuring songs, interludes and skits that focus on breaking down the music industry for the average person. Some of the material exposes information about radio, payola, retail, returns, music videos, marketing and promotion. It's intended to educate the hip-hop fan about the inside workings of the music industry allowing them to be better informed consumers. This is a tongue-in-cheek revelation that shows the listener a behind the scenes view of the workings of the music industry, and how stars are elevated, manipulated, and deflated on a whim."
