DJ Craze - Hip Hop / Drum And Bass Turntablism - Live In Puerto Rico (DVD)

Advantages: Three AVERAGE songs... ?
Disadvantages: Borderline Randy Savage-level bad.

...and talent? DJ Premier appears to do the scratches on "The Victory", but don't be fooled. Marley Marl is responsible for this phoned-in beat, not Preme. "House of Hits" legitimately gives me upset stomach. What we have here is a song that sounds like left-over debris from Macho Man Randy Savage's Be A Man album. Raspy-voiced Chief Rocker Busy Bee Starski, who's biggest claim to fame may have been performing in front of King Tut, joins Kris the Dinosaur in a song that quite frankly makes me vommit. Both of these fossils need to go back to sleep in their respective sarcofaguses. Arghhh, I can't STAND listening to this. On Hip Hop Lives, KRS rapping poorly didn't surprise me as much as Marley's inability to draw me in with any composition with the exception of three. "Hip Hop Lives (I Come Back)", "Kill A Rapper", and "This Is What It Is" are... Read review

...I have had Dj Hypes drum and bass arena album since around christmas last year, and i am still not bored of it. It has a lot of different artists on it, with a range of different types of drum and bass. I love to listen to this album when driving, tidying the house, or just doing nothing. it is a really good back round album when i have friends round too, as everyone enjoys the music it has on it. I also love to dance to the songs on this album, but i do not let many people see me doing that !!! I would really reccomend this album to anyone, it could suit many peoples music taste. It is also pretty good value for money, seeing as there are so many artists on it.... Read review

...Nas? controversial ?Hip Hop Is Dead? release came out in 2006, and came at a time when he declared the ?death? of the genre, as he considered it?s true origins to have been diluted to a point beyond recognition when compared to its form in the seventies and eighties. It was the New Yorker?s eight album to that point, and saw him make another big statement to change the way all music of that time was seen. 1. ?Money Over Bulls**t? To get things going on this album you have him dropping a dark one where he chooses to take on all of those who really disagree with the statement which he comes out with. Just as he had done with the last few albums prior to this, you get him taking on classic samples which have been extensive used in Hip Hop (especially in the eighties). **Four Stars** 2. ?You Can?t Kill Me? As his statement obviously... Read review
