Slaughterhouse - “Back on the Scene”
“Just because these guys drop constant Bangers doesn't mean we should rate them lower when they don't drop what would be classic for anyone else. This track is bangin, even if it isn't quite up to par wit the near-classic material dropped on their album. Anyway, it's great to hear from these cats again. Joe had the best verse wit Joell in a close 2nd.” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

The Niceguys - “Toast”
“This track did feel like a big celebration. The production was perfectly fitted to create that feeling, and I was hooked on their rhymes from the first line "I feel excellent/knowin I'm the excrement". This is a dope track.” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Phil Adé - “Break Me Off”
“This is a great track from Adé. I love when the horns hit on the production, which does compliment his flow well. I'm wit CB, I'm ready to ride wit this one.” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Joell Ortiz - “So Hard”
“Judging by this track "Free Agent" has a chance to finally give Joell the shine he deserves, I just hope the date doesn't get pushed back again. Everything works on the track: Ortiz is fly as usual and I love the funky/soul vocals on the hook.” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Rick Ross - “Deeper Than Rap”
“This is not quite "Near-classic" material like I had expected from hearing the first few tracks, but it is a very solid effort from Ross and 10 steps forward for him as an artist. The biggest thing apparent on this album is that Ross has realized what type of production and vibe work best for him on a track. He really matured on this project, although that's not to say that we will hear any great storytelling or lyricism. The braggin and drug references are still over the top, but it's done in a classy way. Granted, the success of the album comes mostly from the production and guest features, Ricky was able to maximize his artistry with what he surrounded himself with. Top 5 Tracks: (besides the lead single) 1. Maybach Music 2 2. Rich Off Cocaine 3. Murda Mami (Ricky using wordplay?) 4. Gunplay 5. Usual Suspects” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Asher Roth - “Asleep In The Bread Aisle”
“3.5 - This was a very solid debut by Asher Roth. His lyrical ability is undeniable and his flow/subject matter are generally on point. Despite the tracklist looking like he was trying to cater to everyone at the same time, I enjoyed every track on the album. I did think that he could have been more creative with his subject matter in some tracks, and with his wordplay. The kid has a vicious vocabulary, and I really want to see it in full force. On tracks like I Love College and She Dont Wanna Man I don't feel like he used his talent to the fullest of his abilities. I'm lookin for him to come back wit his sophomore album and blow me outta the water wit his more mature and focused sound. Top Picks: 1. Fallin' (IDK, I guess cuz I can relate) 2. Lark On My Go-Cart (nice wordplay and funny pop culture references/oh, and a fun vibe) 3. Sour Patch Kids (wordplay and deep political thinking not found elsewhere on the album) 4. Lion Roar (showcasing his ability to flow, quickly) 5. His Dream (Deep storytelling ability)” Juanito_88's Rating:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
