Alot of young mainstream rappers out there take note because this youngin would blow you out of rotation at the drop of a dime.

Really nice sounds. Ottoma is the bomb!

Philly underground phenoms Vinnie Paz and Stoupe of Jedi Mind Tricks are quick to grind, releasing Legacy of Blood only four months after their previous LP, Outerspace. Legacy follows the duo's traditional hardcore fashion by using layers of filtered sampling and hard-hitting drums to orchestrate its sinister behavior. What results is an entertainingly hellish roller-coaster ride that's sure to drive any neighbor insane. Equal to the task are Legacy's interludes, which are narrated by chopped-up movie dialogue, further showcasing Paz and Stoupe's dark side and fully representing the pair's underground sound. Feeling bloodthirsty and full of hate? Pick this up.

Sure to twist your mental: "On the Eve of War" (Meldrick Taylor mix, featuring GZA); "The Worst"; "Beyond the Gales of Pain" (featuring Sean Price)

UK rapper/producer Dizzee Rascal will not globally appeal to hip-hop or dance fans unless he takes his awkward style and completely throws it out the window. His senseless flows do not match those of the more seasoned British rapper Roots Manuva, and his music lacks The Streets' garage element, which he surely wants to incorporate. As a result, he's left in hip-hop no-man's-land. Most annoying about Showtime are the low-grade sounds Dizzee puts to use--like certain noises that seem to come from a beginner's-level Casio keyboard. Meanwhile, the odds are strong that any kid on ecstasy wouldn't know what to do with his rhythmless beat patterns. Bloody rubbish.

Smothered with R&B hooks and melodies, Suit is strictly for the ladies. Ronald Isley and Snoop Dogg try to support the cause on "She Don't Know My Name," while Nelly teams up with fellow cheese ball Mase on the comedic up-tempo love track "In My Life." Elsewhere, the St. Louis rapper's horrendous singing on "N Dey Say" and his embarrassing duet with country singer Tim McGraw (!) on "Over and Over" provide unintentional laughs aplenty. Both discs feature far too many guest spots, both on the mic and in the production booth, which isn't surprising when you have the microtalented Nelly at the helm. Behold, today's depressing state of mainstream hip-hop.
