Celph Titled - Styles Ain't Raw
Artist: Celph Titled
Producer: Buckwild
Album: Nineteen Ninety Now
Label: No Sleep Recordings
Booth newcomer Celph Titled hardly wants us to believe that his style can be compared to anyone else’s, so to make sure we’re convinced that he’s in a league of his own, he comes at us with Styles Ain’t Raw, a smooth, playful cut that should stir up quite a bit of buzz. With some standout production from Buckwild, who blends a street-influenced vibe with a mood of youthful innocence and wonder, Celph and his two partners-in-crime Apathy and Chino XL have a little bit too much fun on the track, with XL even dropping a Snooki punchline (alright, now that pun wasn’t intended). The trio don’t leave much to be desired as far as their skills are concerned, but does Styles back up Celph’s claim to be like no other? I’ll leave that one up to you. In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on Celph’s non-celph-titled album Nineteen Ninety Now, set to be released in the coming months.

I hadn't heard of celph titled before, but if anything, his stage name is an indication of the level of lyricism he pulls off on this song. the reference to marie osmond made me laugh out loud.
The production and street influenced beat complimented each other and the lyrics perfectly. no complaints, but it felt like it was missing something. lovin' it, 4.5 |

Buckwild did his thing on this one. An instant head nodder as soon as the beat drops. I'm love the samples and the hook. The first verse was crazy, he killed it!

I'm with TheBayToLA on this one. I've got a lot of props for Buckwild on this one.
I'm not familiar with Apathy's music but I was immediately attracted to this track for its Chino feature and he didn't disappoint. Celph murdered his verse as well. Looks like I have a new artist to put under my radar. Banger. |

Another real hip-hop track and right out of the gate I love it. The production has a spacey feel to it and it works well with the bass and vocals. Almost feels like if you took out the vocals and the bass it would be something you could fall asleep too.
The hook is sick and just adds to the overall feel of the track. Lots of sick verses on here but Chino brought it the best. He has some of the rawest lines in the game, and yes the snooki line had me laughing a bit too. My favorite verse had to be, "I could piss on their head and convince them its rain." Just ill. Celph and Apathy did there thing too. Both brought strong verse to the the track just not as standout as Chino's. An great track. |

wow im loving the throw back beat i wish their was use for reversing it into a future type instrumental but something like that would have no place with the flow implemented by celph on this track.
chorus is on point once again taking you back in time its such a nice throwback whowas lyrics is ad tight he brings a whole new vocabulary into his flow plus the punch lines are big hitterz loving what hes doing in this track. over all im surprised too say this is banger really catchy beat then chino came in with the best intro i heard in a long time. this is music truly appreciated this is what hip-hop is this deserves a classic no F-ing lie everybody brings it so so perfect. so many good punchlines on a chill beat whats wrong with this cause i sure as hell cant find it!!!!!!!!! |

Contrary to the song title, it seemed pretty raw to me lol. Just wow, good second-level production with hard lyrics.

I am a huge fan of alliteration through and through and with the Sesame Street reference I fell in admiration right from the intro. Celph Titled (cleaver name by the way) definitely held nothing back on this track. Shout Out to the Puerto Rican Superhero Chino XL. His references made his verse just ridiculous and lovable all in one. The trio ripped the beat. It all just worked together.

Buckwild knows how to produce a track. It was some pretty cool stuff considering everything came together pretty nicely.
"So dope you gotta rewind alot of the rhymes," haha I was skeptical, but I have got to say that Celph titled could of have made this track a classic all by himself. Celph's rhymes on the first verse had me boppin' my head all the way to the end of his verse. Other guest contributers did their thing, but Celph gets the MVP title of this song. Apathy and Chino to say the least, were good, but I would have preferred to hear more of what Celph had to say. All together after hearing this, I gotta say this was a near-classic in my book. |

All I can say is, "Oh, shit, Chino XL!"
It's got that classic hip-hop feel to it. Vintage, laid-back, and just right. The beat is orchestrated beautifully by all three rappers. Celph kills it for sure. I just loved the collaborative effort that came from all of them. Solid, solid, solid. Flowing like a river. These three sound like veterans who've done what they're doing for so long they make it sound casual. A trio nailing their delivery. Who can argue with that, right? |

The beat is real smooth, light, and airy...but nothing we haven't heard before. What really impressed me about the track was how each artist throws some lyrical comedy while still bringing their own raw style. I just keep my head bouncing to this and I could see myself replaying this over and over!

Dope!!! Celph Titled (my Tampa Homey) has been dropping bangers for years, as part of the DemiGodz Crew as well has Jedi Mind Tricks (peep the new Army of the Pharaohs album) If you've never heard of him, i suggest you go to discogs.com and pull up his history. He has an amazing track record, both production wise and rhyming... This song is a winner in my book.

first verse was tight..bravado style, then it kind of dumps off but at least the production was on point. I like when people use the pun dictionary but sometimes it sounds like ya tryin to hard..stop.

Nice wordplay on this. Beat is kinda gloomy to me. Always been a fan of Apathy. He was the only one who sounded nice on this IMO.

What is really interesting here is that the Buckwild production is almost a decade old. However, nobody made mention (so far) in their comments that it sounded old. Why? Because good production work sounds "new" anytime its heard. Case and point.

@ DJ Z Haha that's crazy, I didn't even realize! Just goes to show that truly classic music transcends time or genre. Timeless songs can be played anywhere at anytime, and anyone will recognize it's beauty. Great music never goes out of style!

All 3 of the rappers here nailed their deliveries on this one. The beat wasn't amazing to me, but these dudes ripped it up for me. Not quite a banger for me, but I enjoyed their styles on this one. An easy 3.5, well deserved.

Anyone who is not familiar with Celph Titled or Apathy should immediately DL "Just Begun". It's one of the best Hip Hop songs of the decade, and YES I did say decade. I knew this would be a BANGER before I hit play, and I wasn't disappointed.
