Hip Hop Album Reviews from HipHopDX.com

  • GZA/Genius - Protools
    Chock full of intelligent musings, creative literary devices and cinematic explication, Pro Tools is a definitely a much needed sonic relief for the more discriminating listener who is sick and tired of hearing mindless Rap music permeating the airwaves.

  • Ice Cube - Raw Footage
    Ice Cube's Raw Footage is cinematically orchestrated, moody and insightful. Cube's eighth wonder is a more polished collective in comparison to 2006's Laugh Now, Cry Later.

  • Daz Dillinger - Only On The Left Side
    Only On The Left Side might appear to be a low-carb companion to Snoop's Blue Carpet Treatment, but Daz's latest venture proves to be more than just Crip Hop.

  • Nappy Roots - The Humdinger
    If anything, The Nappy Roots seem to have deepened their connection to Hip Hop, making their return sweeter than jelly jar iced tea.

  • Elzhi - The Preface
    In terms of no frills, "golden era" Hip Hop, Elzhi and Black Milk display the type of emcee/producer chemistry that hasn't been seen since the days of Pete Rock & CL Smooth or Gangstarr.

  • Re-Up Gang - Clipse Presents Re-Up Gang
    The Clipse Presents The Re-Up Gang is a messy hodgepodge of colorless production and recycled verses that notably taints the group's previously flawless catalog.

  • Green City - Brand New Money
    Green City's Brand New Money is a disappointing affair and one that should be erased from having any connection to Uncle Face's legacy as a trailblazing emcee and proud member of the south.

  • Lloyd - Lessons In Love
    Lloyd sings of sexuality within the confines of true love, a concept his counterparts have all but forgotten. And that within itself, takes Lessons In Love to the top of its class.

  • Opio - Vulture's Wisdom Vol 1
    Opio's second album loses its ability to captivate listeners due to the lackadaisical approach to beat-making, making this joint unworthy of being heard more than once.

  • Murs & 9th Wonder - Sweet Lord
    With their third outing, the 9th and Murs pairing continues to excel. Their chemistry rivals some of Hip Hop's greatest as their consistency and willingness to try new things continue to bring forth memorable moments.
