"Street Hop" review
I wasn't a Royce fan until the beginning of this year. Not because he didn't deserve it. I just never took the time to really listen to dude. I think his name just turned me off to be honest. My favorite MCs are the dudes you can visualize in the booth as you listen. Especially when I can visualize the spit fly toward the wind screen or the spittle sitting on the lip til the end of the verse (never thought I'd say it but "no homo"). Other than Slaughterhouse album, this is the 1st Royce full length project I've peeped. The album starts off scorched earth style with "Count For Nothing". Chuck D's counting (sprinkled throughout the verses and on the hook) will never get lose it's grip on listeners. "Dinner Time" w/ Busta murdalized all that cute crap rap dudes keep puttin' out and calling hip hop. The auto tune parody on "Far Away" kills those same corny "rappers". I gotta admit it had to grow on me. "Shake This" gets rewind/repeat action on a regular. As a matter of fact, I'm listening to it as I write this. Pschew! Throw "Street Hop 2010", "Gun Harmonizing" & "Hood Love" (classic Primo beat). The concept and arrangement on the 2 parter "On the Run" & "Murder"...SICK!!! Overall the album is about a 4 out of 5, especially when you compare it to the refuse we've all had to get used to. Sad to say I'm disappointed in a lot of the production on the 2nd half. With Preem overseeing the project I don't understand how that happened. About 1/3 of the album could have been shaved. Production was the same Achilles Heel of the Slaughterhouse album, too. Go figure. Regardless, the album is a keeper and is gettin' rotation on the Pod. I'm relieved to hear a somewhat successful MC still rockin' right w Primo! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
