Blackout - Under The Influence Take II
Reviewed By: GRIM
Album Rate: 3.5 out of 5 Stars
I have been waiting for a nationwide album from Blackout for ever, everyone knows him from Playa Flys albums, he did alot of the producing, he has a very devilish sound to most of his albums but not as much with this one, it has more of a dance feeling to it. The first song called "Da 1st song" is hella crunk, it has Terror, Lil Gain, Lil E and others in and they all get off. The next cut is a dance type song that I aint feelin at all. Makin moves is the next song and it is alright, Big O and Mack J are rapping in it, its something that you listen to. "On My Mind" is next it has a good beat to it but the flows aint there, it just dont sound right I aint feelin it. The next song is a freestyle from Quinn, the beat is phat but the freestyle is whack.
Coming up next is a song with all sorts of scratches and shit in it, it actually sounds alright, Guice and Eli are getting off on this song. Next up is the song that I have been waiting for, Playa Fly but it is a dance song, but its crunk as hell, you know Fly-he can get off to everything, this one of the first times I have heard a dance song being good. "We Roll" is the next song, it aint nothing special. The next song after that aint no good either, up after that is a phat ass song with Terror and Gangsta Blac, it has a dope ass beat with a chorus sample from 2-Pac, the beat is bumping as well. The next song aint nothing that tight either, up after that is Ying Yang, this song is tight as hell, it is a group called The Crooksters, I am feelin this cats, they are getting off on this track. After that is a solo by Terror, it is alright, nothing to get excited about. The last jam is called "Tasha" it is tight as hell, it is Rokco talking bout some ho named Tasha, it is a phat ass song.
Overall this album is something you should pick up if you are a Memphis rap fan but its a little weak for a blackout album and its nothing really like his underground albums, they really lost the devish style to this album. But pick it up anyhow.
