Royce da 5`9 - Death is certain

(1/4) > >>

I`m Wayne Brady bitch!:
Regardless - The beat is classic and sets the mood for the album perfect . Royce spits fire on this one , true lyrics about himself . One of my favourites on the album 9/10

Throwback - The beat has alot of energy , and Royce`s flow on this one is crazy . " coldest flow of the summer , I see `em come and they go , see them thumble the flow , its more goers than commers " . Great hook also 10/10

What I know - A little more laidback track . Some people have wined about that he bites some lines here . He`s only paying homage to some of his favourite rhymes , Jay-Z does it all the time to . Lyrics are top here to 8/10

I promise - laidback beat here also , honest lyrics about his time in this game , you get to know more about royce as a person . Aint feelin the beat here to much though 8/10

Call me never ( skit ) No comment on skits , I think albums is much better without skits in general

Hip-Hop - Beat by Premier , one of his dopest in the recent years . It`s the first single of death is certain . The track is fire 10/10

Gangsta feat Cutty Mack - One of the darkest songs on the album . It`s a
track about gangstas . It`s a dope track , but gets outshined my many other tracks on this album 8/10

Today feat Ingrid Smalls - The beat has the same sample that is on a beenie siegel song . I love this track , Royce has not dissapointed me yet lyrics wise on this album and doesnt stop now 10/10

I and me - " true muthafuckas know , this be the realest shit I ever wrote "  Dark violin and guitar beat . Here talks about the fall out between him and em , another song about himself . 10/10

Beef - A remake og Biggie`s - whats beef . This is my favourite track off the album , the beat , concept ,flow and lyrics are top notch . The outro is really dope to 10/10

Bombist - Cool song , I`ll give it a 8/10 .

Everybody goes -  It`s a song about staying alive , becouse we can die anyday , anytime . The beat is one of the best on the album , with a dope sample ( I will be neeearbyy , mountain hiiigh , valley looow ) and a contrabass(If im right ?) for baseline . 10/10

Death is certain part 2 - Probably the dopest song lyric wise . I love this track , real deep 10/10

Somethings wrong with him - Here Royce expresses his anger best . " my wife dont like my album , it`s way to dark for women , she say it sounds like I hold grudges , she`ll rather listen to Joe Buddens , lol ! The beat has a rock and roll vibe , and closes the album perfect .

Death is certain sees the comeback of one of hip-hop`s most talented and most underated mc`s , royce da 5`9 . The production here fits the dark vibe perfect , time-less beats . Lyrics wise he outshines his mentor and old friend ( I mean this ) Eminem ! Props for him being brutaly honest and almost no guest apperances . His flow is also cool and original . Be shure to check this album out , death is certain and college dropout are my favourite hip-hop records so far in 2004 .
Overall : 9.5/10

The Predator:
Ive only heard one track the premier laced 'hip hop' which i thought was fuckin fire.
A lot of peeps have said that Royce came correct on this album droppin truth and gnawing up the well crafted beats. Your review seems to be further testimony to that.

UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
I was really lookin forward to this album but it turned out to be crap,I only liked 2 songs-Hip Hop & Throwback.Thank God I downloaded this shit.

AlerG:
best album of 2004 hands down...i doubt anything will top it either, peace.

Bramsterdam (see ya):
