Artist/Album Review: Eminem – Relapse
May 13th
Eminem – Relapse
Name: Eminem (more info)
Album: Relapse (more info)
Style: Hip Hop
After being gone for like 5 years and not releasing much but a song here and there or a mixtape, everyone wondered where Eminem has been. Well he came back with a new album that describes the full reason why he has been gone! He has been addicted to lord knows what (arent we all) and had to take time away because of these issues. He even talks about loosing his faith in creating music and inspiration leaving him. But finally after a long wait, here comes the new album.
I want to start by saying that I truley love Eminem and his talent. He put out so many great songs with so many great stories behind them. He has also created alot of good music that is just funny and entertaining all around. I wont say that this album isn’t but I have to say that its a huge let down after being so long since the last album release. He does alot of talking about his prior drug addictions and issues he has had in the past that caused him to be gone for a while. There are a few songs that I would listen to over and over but after hearing this album none stop for a week, I am almost ready to put another one in or honestly go back to listening to Asher Roth. Dont get me wrong, he has alot of clever things to say but its just not the same vibe 100%. Plus I sware his look shows that yes he sure did have a drug problem or just decided to get plastic surgery. Im not gonna call that but I will say though I give it so little stars, its only because its long term value isn’t there. The album keeps me singing alot of the hooks and makes me want to memorize alot of his verses but I can already tell im not gonna spend that much more time with it so it just didn’t make it up there. I almost gave it 3 stars, dont hate me please!
Stars: 2/5

Are you an artist that wants to get a full review of your album posted up on my blog? Well all you need to do is find a way to get me a copy and I will spend some time with the album, make love to it, then either tell it to go cook me some eggs or do some cuddling and finally get on my computer (still naked) and type up a review of what I think of the story, lyric, melody, mastering and full package of the album.

Artist/Album Review: Asher Roth
Apr 29th
Asher Roth – Asleep in the Bread Aisle
Name: Asher Roth
Album: Asleep in the Bread Aisle
Style: Hip Hop & Soul
A new artist which is constantly referred to as the next Eminem has been discovered through Myspace. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania then finally moved to Atlanta to pursue a music career after selling over 250 copies of his first cd made in school in under 2 days. Â He has a full studio album released now and with that and his XXL Magazine cover appereance, and hopefully my review, you will find him quite interesting!
More Info
I started this album like all others, put it in my car and drive for weeks just playing that album without skipping. Ok I lied, once you read the individual song breakdowns then you will see that I did do some skipping, but really, not much at all! Now im sorry but I will start by saying, yes, kinda like Eminem in his delivery sometimes as well as overall sound often, but thats where the similarities stop. His music feels like there is alot more soul put into it and the topics he talks about is much more compared to an average life of school, partying, women and just having bad days every now and then. The cursing is at a minimum, atleast if you are still trying to compare him to Eminem. The music displays alot of great popping drum sounds as well as dirty and rhodes style organs with tons of sampling and soul singing. He can rap at fast speeds as well as chill you out with slower poem style lyrics on his music as well as points where they just mubble and get you doing it along. Yes, im serious, just mumbling like you think you know the lyrics but you dont and want to atleast get the melody right. I will live the brief overall album review short and let you check out individual songs for yourself, tell me what you think in the comments of this post. But this album is a great one, maybe not a classic, but atleast something that you can pop in and go through most of the album without skipping songs. I cant give any albums a 5 star rating just yet so I will go with a 3!
PS: Â I find it very cool that this album was released on April 20th, 2009 (4/20!!!)
Stars: 4/5
