19. Eulogy





"Intro" is just talking... Gangstarr talking about bringing it...


"Put Up Or Shut Up" I like the Primo cut/chop job here... Krumbsnatcha shows up to spit a verse at the end for a nice contrast with Guru...

"Werdz From The Ghetto" god lord this track is dirty... i love the beat... WHY IS THIS ONLY AN INTERLUDE

"Sabotage" is another dope primo cut n chop... Guru spits pretty nice... once again, i wish this song was longer... 2:25 isn't enough.

"Rite Where You Stand" more hollow sound than the first few tracks... kind of puts more emphasis on the rhyming. Jadakiss has never been my favorite rhymer, but he can be dope at times.. he's solid on here and sounds good with Guru.

"Skills" is skills... been around and played a bunch... still a dope track and single though.

"Deadly Habits" feels like something from Moment Of Truth... I think it's the sampling... cool track but im not feeling the hook...

"Nice Girl Wrong Place" i don't really feel the singing here... it's not dope like it was with Royalty... the beat is simple, but not bad... Guru is okay... probably my least favorite song on the first half of the album...

"Peace Of Mine"... "what the fuck is this shit y'all are listening to nowadays on the radio man? you call that shit hip-hop? that's some faggot bitch shit y'all are listening to! all you djs are lettin the program directors handcuff you and sit there and tell you how to mix? you fuckin robots, fuck yall!" damn ;o then there's a song... and its dope too.

"Who Got Gunz" damn... nice hard heavy joint here... i can't see how anyone could dislike this... and I generally don't like MOP at all... This is the Fat Joe I wanna hear... great sampling from Primo...

"Capture (Militia 3)" nice sinister loop... also a nice sample from the first joint. Suge and Foxx have good chemistry with Primo and Guru... so this joint is dope.

"Playtawin" didn't think there was a song here for a second... finally comes in around 30 seconds... dope uptempo track with nice sampling from preem and guru sounding good on the mic.

"Riot Akt" is dope... great sampling by Primo here... I would almost prefer the instrumental to the regular track... the hook is kinda eh... but the song overall is fresh

"Hiney" good lord... acapella rhyme interlude... erm... it's a half-successful attempt at humour...


"Same Team No Games" The beat feels like it's missing something on the back end... but maybe that's just me... the rhyming is solid though

"In This Life" nice mellow feel to this joint... even as a Snoop fan I was dreading how this collab would turn out... Snoop has the dope voice/flow/delivery here... lyrics are meh... but that's about what i figured. overall good song

"The Ownerz" another of the uptempo style joints... love the production/sampling here. Guru seems to bring it up a notch on the faster tracks...

"Zonin" another one straight off Moment Of Truth... dope beat and nice flows from Guru

"Eulogy" some people who passed get shoutouts throughout... tempo is fittingly slow... I'm not a huge fan of the beat but it could grow on me... Guru spits about what you'd expect here.. good way to end the LP


overall... I'd have to say it's dope. I don't know if i'll like it as much as MoT, but it's certainly not disappointing to me... I don't know if it can live up to about a year of hype though... a couple of questionable hooks and a lackluster beat keep it from 10 in my eyes.

9/10

nothing stood out as amazing, but nothing was wack either.

*falls asleep*

guru needs to switch up his flow once in awhile and i thought preem was just giving out mediocore beats to other rappers but its evident hes losing it...i was really anticipating this release. more of a disappointment than konexion.

This album has nothing really that suprises you.  It's just like Moment Of Truth (a very dope album).

"08. nice girl wrong place " sounds very simular to snoops "the one and only"... but.. this version is a bit booring..

This is a brilliant album. After just one full listen I would even as far as to call it an arguable classic, in any case it's no less than 4.5 mics. The production is incredible and Guru holds it down nicely on the mic. (although he's far from who he once was) Every song is impressive to me and I would say this falls just slightly short of Moment Of Truth. But it's the best album of 2003 so far, no doubt. Will be on heavy rotation all summer... Everybody go support real hip-hop and cop it on the 24th.

Exactly.
That's what keeps it from classic status.
It has been done before.
