Title: I-BO - STHLM Representa
Post by: Reef on July 05, 2002, 11:35:32 AM
1.  One By One (Feat Naz-T).
This one has a really catchy beat. The hook is pretty cool too
and the lyrics in the first verse are dope your flow is amazing,
and Naz T rips the second verse, flows well and the lyrics are tight.I wouldnt have minded a second verse from I-Bo. But dope track none the less
Rating: 4.3/5

2.  Lil Ghetto Boy
I was really feelin the topic on this one, the lyrics are real and it represented alot of my thoughts and feelings. The hook Really dope on this one, and the beat fits the subject of the track perfectly. The flow on the first verse is tight but the flow on the second verse falls off a bit. Cool track i expected a bit more from the second verse, IMO thats the tracks flaw.
Rating: 3.5/5


3.  Death Before Dishonour(Feat Naz-T).
Well, a really dope chorus and again, I-Bo drops a dope first verse and Nas T drops a equally dope second verse. The third verse by I-Bo has an outstanding flow but the lyrics fall off a little toward the end. The beat is pretty cool on this one, not the best on the album though.
Rating: 4.3/5

4.  The MVP The GOAT
The hook really lets this track down not to say its shit, beacuse I-Bo as ever flows well on this one and drops and his lyrics are dope i like the line,
'my rhymes so hard you think i signed by aftermarth'
and the mention of Tyson and the uppercut just proves the quality of the lyrics on this track. Its just a shame that the hook lets it down.
Rating: 3/5


5.  Haterz
Solid beat, and I-Bo displays a solid flow and some good lyrics. The hook is'nt as good as the one on Death Before Dishonour but its still good. Lyrics are cool, and the beat as with all of of this album is tight.
Rating: 3.2/5

6. Dont Mess With Me

Rating: 2.9/5
 

7.  Leave Me Alone
Heavy beat, but really cool and i cant pick out instruments or sound effects but the way other instruemtns contrast the drums is cool. The hook and verses on this track have a laid back flow which i like this is a cool track, pretty laid back.
Rating: 3.6/5
 
8.  Now We Know
The beat is pretty good, feels like a club sorta beat the flow on the track is cool, but the lyrcis are average in comparision to the rest of the album. The hook is pretty good, the tone of voice is said in makes it sound good.  
Rating: 3/5

9.  I-BO(French Track).
Not bad, my french is piss poor but i have to admit the flow on this one is fuckin dope, and the hook is nice too, the beat is pretty funky aswell.
Rating: 4.1/5

10. Throw Ya Hands Up(Feat Naz-T).
This i think is more of a party song, the hook is dope, and Naz-T's flow on the first verse is tight I-Bo then comes with and equally tight flow.
Rating: 4.2/5

11. Derriere Et Devant(French Track).
This is cool, i like the beat on this one, flows well, i cant really comment on itscontent but it sounds cool.
Rating: 3.4/5

Overall the album is tight.. Like i mentioned there are a cople of things with each track, but for the first album its cool. Something i will say, you seem to mention how good your flow is too much.
Overall Rating: 7/10
