Before the album came out Jay-Z dissed nas with "Takeover" and everyone thought this was the end for god's son. Then stillmatic cameout I haven't listened to this quality of Hip-Hop since nas came out in '95. On this album Ether[Jigga Tha Gold digga Diss], Got ur self a gun, Smokin'[Even beter when High,One Mic [One of the best tracks of he ever made], Destroy and Rebuild [Cormega Diss] to bad they still got beef, and if your true fan of hip-hop then you know the other tracks. The only diss the Cock-A-Fella CEO can responde with is "Super Ugly". one last thing who is this critic John Bush saying nas is not the best any more? Yes he is not the artist with the most sales, but please tell me what person can spit lyrics better than nas. Who Jay-Z. Hell No! If he's behind the times than I guess we'll have to look foward to "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It", "Grillz", "Summer Nights", "What You Know", ect. It's a damn shame Snap music & Chicano rap is the future. If you don't think it's true than may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't get it, they at slump start of 2000, ok alot of the eastcoast was too, then Amerikaz Nightmare was a of hope and not a bad album, but then they sign with that snitch Jackson "5-0". This new album Blood Money is a good title. It tells a tale of sellin' your soul to a singing guerilla on steroids. This album just uses the same G-Unit formula of $00.05's club songs,gangs(not in any),murder, 5-0 singing a bad hook while sayin' G-Unit 1,000,000 times, almost all labelmates featuered , except a strong sexual disire for the benjamins insted of women and 2 of the songs have already been out for half a year. Mobb Deep would of had a better album signing with Murder I.N.C,Death Row, or just sell NYC style right outta the trunk. I Guess Queens Birdge only got Nas left.

Young Bleed is a artist of No Limit, who gives proof he does not need a big label to make great music. His flow is more laid back than with Master P, sort of like P. Miller's younger brother (Free C-Murder). Although he has many guest spots they are ballenced enough not to overshadow Bleed and these artist can rhyme. This is a fomula for a respected veteran.

The title Reality Check really applies for Juvenile's life at the beginning 2006. He has signned to Atlantic Records after leaving Cash Money/Universal (for the second time), started his own label (UTP), and like many lost his home in New Orleans. It has been worth waiting three years. Buy It!
