Album Review:Infamous Mobb-Blood Thicker Than Water

What up peeps. I'm just chillin' here at the residence with some lemonade after getting back from some shit at Code Of Tha Cutz that was ahem *off the chayne mayne* I pretty much chilled with all of the cool people in MI Hip-Hop and met some cool folks from Cleveland. Met the Starving Artists Crew *squeaks* indeed. Yeah well I also bought a promo ass copy of Infamous Mobb-Blood Thicker Than Water, so I do believe I will review it now.
Now upon looking at this and reading a review/paid advertisement in the Sauce like a fuckin' year ago it was pretty obvious that these dudes are a Mobb Deep rip off. And if you can't figure that out you either think that MTV2 is a good place to learn about rap or you are the man Big Walt likes to refer to as Ray Bozono. But the thing is that Mobb Deep is
A.Fuckin' sweet
B.Apparently breaking up.
So in theory a carbon copy of the M-O-B-B wouldn't neccesarily be a bad thing. The question is: are these dudes as GOOD as Mobb Deep. Check the bizness

1.Intro
A kind of cool kind of retarded skit that when I first heard it I thought they sampled it from a New York police show or something.
2.Greenback
An ominous ass beat with some bumpin' drums and your standard string-piano East Coast shit. The MCs introduce themselves and yeah they sound a lot like the M-O-B-B, pretty much a standard "we get money,we be cold thuggin" track but I guess it's kinda bangin'. However they keep calling the listener "dunn" and I guess that's a neighborhood thing 'cause in Dansville we call everybody "cracka". IE cracka please! etc. 2 out of 5 Snickers Bars
3.Empty Out feat.Prodigy
Well this song is less about getting money and more about shooting people, but no doubt you get some East Coast type strings up on here and some drums that are ok I guess. Again lyrically it's standard East Coast "if you fuck wid me I gon shoot you" rhymes that are hard to judge for quality 'cause the content is so banal and redundant. But then OH SHIT Prodigy jumps in and pretty much saves the track. 3 out of 5 Snickers Bars
4.The Future feat.UN
Yet more East Coast soul-type samples over drum machine beats here and more rhymes about shooting people. And these lyrics aren't even that good so I can't even ignore how violent and dumb they are. "Money,guns,drugs and hoes". Shit like this is the reason I have to give every girl I meet who's not super cool a lecture about how not all Hip-Hop tells me to shoot people and her to shake her ass. But hell it's catchy so 3 out of 5 Snickers Bars
5.Watch Your Step
This beat's kinda sweet, maybe like Primo if he wasn't as awesome. Again lyrically it's the same shit Hip-Hop cats were listening to when I was in fucking preskool. "The only thing I wanted was for my moms to be proud of me" uh ok..... 2 out of 5 Snickers Bars
6.Who We Ride For
Ok this is the first BAD beat I've heard so far, and now they're talking about OH YEAH selling crack, shooting people, and riding for their homies. Again this shit would have been dope like 10 years ago but by now its redundant. 1 out of 5 Snickers Bars.
7.Lifestyle
Hey this beat is fuckin' sweet! Your standard East Coast soul fare but it's bangin'. And mmm the lyrics aren't so bad this time around even though they're boring as hell but this beat is kind of fresh and I don't think they talk about hoes which means I can play this when chillin' with liberal chicks from skool without having to give them the lecture. 3 out of 5 Snickers Bars
8.More Hoes Than Hefner
Aw shit this track hasn't even started playing yet and I'm pretty sure it's gonna suck ass. This beat is actually pretty sweet, but the lyrics are on some bling pimp shit and the title is a dumb ass metaphor. And this song would definitely not fly with Big Dub's liberal chick friends. 2 out of 5 Snickers Bars
9.Got That Iron feat.Chinky
When I first saw this on the track listing I thought it said featuring Chingy at which instance I almost threw the CD up out the window of my dad's whip. But it says Chinky. Oh and it sucks and has some retarded R&B chick on the hook. 1 out of 5 Snickers Bars
10-17 I'm done wasting my time on this shit, it all sucks.
18.Gunz Up Lennox.
This is an Alchemist beat, so I skipped to it. But it's not a very good Alchemist beat and has another dumbass R&B chick on the hook. 2 out of 5 Snickers Bars

Alright well this album musically sounds current but banal and formulaic, and lyrically sounds likes its on some mid 90s shit and yeah Big Walt loves some mid 90s gun rap but not mid 90s gun rap that was made the mid 00s. Yeah I think that pretty much the only reason I would listen to this would be to write a review of it for my blog, however I'll probably put "Lifestyle" on one of those mix cds I make for
A.Hot high skool chicks
B.Dansville hip-hop heads who aren't thaaat bad.
Big Walt gives this album 2 out of 5 Snickers Bars. Beyotch
