(1/1)

X-Raided - Unforgiven

1. Madman intro...Cool intro with audio from Forrest Gump.
2. Misanthropy...Very different sounding production with a twist of rock music.  Lyrically, it's off the hook.  5/5
3. Unforgiven...Beat has a 70's feel to it.  X blesses the track with some tight ass lyrics.  4/5
4. Who is y'all niggas...Good beat, deep bassline.  Again, tight lyrics.  4/5
5. Spitten venom...Beat is not really that good, but the content of the verses make it worth listening to.  Especially the hook.  3.5/5
6. Mortal combat...Dark feeling production with church bells, and flowing water in the background.  X lights up the track with some tongue twisting rhymes.  5/5
7. Macaframa...Slow, gangsta beat.  Tight song about inmates and women.  Three verses of straight heat.  4.5/5
8. Take flight...Quality production and good lyrics.  Dott Dogg adds some vocals on this one.  3.5/5
9. Cemetery fulla G's...Dark song about fallen soldiers.  3.5/5
10.   Dead on arrival part 1...Good production.  Lyrics are tight, but they are not as crisp as the rest of the album.  3.5/5
11.   Land of the lost...Softer song on the album.  Radio friendly.  Deep lyrics.  4/5
12.   Kick it 2nite...A fuck song.  Faster-type beat.  X keeps up well.  3.5/5
13.   Mama's pride & joy...Decent production, but great content.  4/5
14.   Whatever it took...A lotta bass here.  Crisp stutter, stop & go lyrics.  4/5
15.   On the rise...Fairly simple drum loop.  Hanifah is featured here.  Tight lyrics.  3.5/5
16.   Outro

OVERALL...8/10

It's surprising how someone can record such a good sounding album while in jail.  Lyrics are very crisp and clear except for just a couple of songs.  Production is great.  It's not your average, everyday sounding beats.  Lyrically, X-Raided is top-notch.  Very underrated rapper and album.

Smooth:
