Obie Trice "CHEERS" is....

<< < (5/6) > >>

_That_Cracka_J:
Defo a dope album.  ;D

Code Blue:
I'd give it either a 7.5 or 8 overall. The production is really good, and I may be one of few who actually feels Obie lyrically. And of course Em came sicc as fucc on the mic in the guest spots. Dre spit one of his best verses since Chronic 2001 even though it was a diss verse. D12 all came nice on the outro, Nate came nice on the hooks, etc. Overall a dope album f'sho.

Final Overall Rating - 7.75/10

Dip Set Movementarian 4 Life:
5 maybe 6 out of 10...

KVB:
Am I the only one who thinks of the album as a disappointment?

I may be harsh here, but "Got Some Teeth", "Lady", "The Set Up", "Follow My Life", "Hands On You" & "Hoodrats" are all trash in my opinion. The rest of the songs range from decent to good, never anything amazing or mind-blowing. The best track is "Shit Hits The Fan", where Obie is outshined by Dre. "We All Die One Day" is also dope (with a sick verse from Em).

Obviously, I don't feel Obie much as an MC. Lyrically he's above average, but his flow is just too choppy and flawed, and he seems to have problems to stay on beat on many of the songs here. He also lacks charisma and authority on the mic (his raps are uninteresting). To sum it up I just don't see what's so special about this guy, I would much rather have seen an Proof solo on Shady Records.

Production is generally below average (the Dr. Dre and Timbaland beats are exceptions), Eminem should just give up his little producer dream and leave beat-making to professionals. For the most part, his beats were sub-par and unimpressive. (Although I give him props for "Average Man", which was nice. ;))

Conclusion: Completely ordinary album, 3-3.25 mics, 3.5 if I were to be nice. That equals a 6 out of 10.  :(

^^^word word word, i usually find album better than they really are at first listen for sum reason, but yeah the more i listen it, the more i think obies lackin sumthing, like hateart said, u kinda feel he hopes he goin back n forth with another rapper cuz he can sure right, but theres more to rap than that...........thats why its not called writing.......as u gotta do alot more to make a sick joint........cant complain about dres production though, man he got sum sick shit on their.............i jus wished ra would have spit on that "look in my eyes" and "oh" beat..........the setup beat was sick to........but eminem needs to step up his game production wise nuff said...........

after final thoughts, this album is a 7/10 album.............the dre joints will still def bump for a while!

peace
