I was really hyped about that street album but its kinda average except for a few beats
-
I just finished listening to it. It's pretty good! :)
-
dis album is beautiful but i think its made for people who have real love 4 hiphop and music . so its understandable some people wont like it but its jus some real good quality music!!
-
Nice!
The production is great, quite experimental on some tracks, sounds very hip hop-ish. As a MC he's pretty average but he's got a nice voice and flow I guess.
-
dam this was bangin. i love that song called Affairs.
this is even doper than the bishop mixtape.
-
Good shit!

FOCUS IZ THA TRUTH YALL
SOUND WITHOUT FOCUS IZ JUS NOIZE, HAHA
-
good enough to be an album
-
I love how focus changed up the beginning of Shine, how on the single version the beat drops right away, and on the album version you have the heartbeat, then the big v8 roaring, then focus doing an accapella and then the beat starts thumping when he says ''nobody know's who the f*ck focus is'' genius. ;D
Y'all like that too?
-
hell yeah focus is dropping heat. the only thing i think his production is lacking is those longer groovier basslines, which even dre seems to have dropped these days for that crisper effect. but in terms of the punchy shit i give this stuff a big thumbs up. some focus tracks seem to be hit and miss though and i'd of liked some more variety on the beats. like someone else said 'affairz' is one of the better all round tracks on here. i'd still say that mike anthony track what goes around is the best focus track in a minute. those instrumentals were crazy too. peace.

Ahhaa man same shit, we went out that night with some friends and kept playing the beginning of that joint over and over lol.Good stuff.
-
This is crazy! and in just a few days its already about to smash 8000 downloads! Props to all!
-
Props on this album .. the beats Focus made for this are insane
-
Surprised how relatively dead this thread is, downloaded this shit when it dropped but really bumped it hard last night and all day today...This ALBUM is possibly the best I heard in years...Not that everything is perfect, not all the beats are catchy enough, focus isnt the best rapper either...but he's got great features on there, funny skits, but most of all I enjoy the heartfelt content on the album. Maybe you have to be in a certain point in your life to truly get into this album, or maybe its one a those cds that takes time to grow on you...but by the 3rd spin I was hooked. I see bright things for focus in the future, and he's definitely getting my money when he releases his retail album.

DAMN!!! 2 bad this shit wont play on my computer ??? what am i doing wrong?

Do you have winzip? you have to unzip the file you downloaded using winzip and the the mp3's will be put in a folder.
As far as this album goes, this shit is hot!! I'm loving it! Ya'll muthafuckas seriously sleeping this should be 10 pages deep!

Yep this is what i call great hip-hop... Focus got so much talent....The best '08 release by far IMO.
BTW what's wrong on the mastering with the latest Aftermath streets releases (Pope mobile, Dedicated, Nigger Noize untagged) the sound's quality is really poor :-\
Any chance to have Dedicated on a press Cd in a near future?
-
This albums pretty damn dope, it has a crazy vibe to it, and im feelin all the bitch hooks, takes me back lol, sounding like some classic shit, i know Focus wants to bring back those good ol days, this some good quality music!!!
-
Props Eddie. Thanks to Focus for the mixtape.
-
It's not so hard is :o
-
Back When is the best production wise IMO, sounds like something 9th Wonder or Premo would do.

Agreed. Yo Crip where you at?

that Shine SP Soul remix is dope imo 8)
the original shine was an annoying club track imo, but i definately don't mind listening to the remix, nice job SP Soul ;)
'd of liked some more variety on the beats.
yeah, the production reminds me of the 80's and 90's hiphop ( mainly eastcoast) music, with the heaviy sampling and all :P
the lyrics are alright but his vocal performances overall are average imo.
the album hasn't really grown on me, but i like We Do This(nice wordplay by Mami Montana by the way, i got to find more tracks from her to get a better view) and Let's go.
