So aside from my weekly top 20, and now apparently weekly track packs, im gonna start giving a review on music in general of the week. This includes; new singles, albums, tours and stuff like that. sooo yea:
Here's some cool new music that has come out:
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy-Kanye West
-This is certainly a great album and despite the cover controversy the cover turned out pretty nice i guess. it's kinda weird but i dont know, i suppose it's pretty typical Kanye. (see cover here: http://tinyurl.com/mbdtfCover ) Some highlights of the album are: Of course the single Run Away which he performed at the VMA's along with 'Devil in A New Dress' ft Rick Ross. The track 'Monster' is also pretty good. So this album is definitely worth checking out if you havent already.
Man On The Moon II (Legend of Mr. Rager)-KiD CuDi
-KiD CuDi returns with his new killer album Man On The Moon II! This has been out for, what a week now? If you havent listened to it i suggest you do so. Granted i understand that CuDi certainly takes a certain mind set to enjoy but i think he has a nice mellow flow. It's an alright album but again it is CuDi so you'll either like it or you wont. Ashin Kusher was definitely my favorite on the album. Over all i would actually give this album 2 1/2 stars. Its not exactly what you would call "up-beat" and nothing you would "rock out to" at a dance or anything, but KiD CuDi fans should enjoy it.
Nelly 5.0-Nelly
-Nell's latest album Nelly 5.0 is a fantastic album. This CD has a ton of great tracks that make good late night tunes. It's got that pop genre flow and beat to it with some great vocals and melody. Obviously 'Just A Dream' will help sell it, but some songs to check out are; 'Nothing Without Her' 'Gone' 'Long Gone' and pretty much every track on this album. Each song has it's own personality and there is maybe one "bad" song on here. So without further ado i give this album a 5.0 ;) haha
Pray-Justin Bieber
-Ok so i think the puberty train definitely hit Justin Bieber harder and faster than he anticipated, but i personally think he sounds better with a lower voice. Maybe that's because i don't get head aches from his high pitched vocals, i dont know. But i do know that since puberty has finally hit this kid he sounds much better. Honestly i only truly like about 3 songs by this kid, but his new single 'Pray' is one of them. While it is not as up-beat and "popish" as his first single 'One Time' (the other song i like by him) Pray has a great chorus and vocals. His voice has certainly developed since 2009 when he sounded like a squealing chipmunk. It's a rather moving song so check it out if ya want.
SLR-Lupe Fiasco
-Perhaps Jay-Z shouldn't be so quick to claim the title 'Best Rapper Alive.' Lupe Fiasco recently made some noise with his new released single 'The Show Goes On' but if you havent heard his new leaked song 'SLR (Super Lupe Rap) then you should check it out ASAP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXwO8uLDvIM). More great Lupe lyrics with some great flow. Nothing against Hov, but Lupe's SLR is certainly blowing anything by him away, at least for right now. So go get it NOW!
