Filed under Big Mouths Reviews
The Gems:
Strongest Lyrical release of 2009
Incredible beats
Few, but reasonable features
Real Hip-Hop
Each member of the group does their thing
The quotables are crazy!
Diamonds In The Rough:
Recorded a chunk of the album at DJ Premiers studio
The producers brought their best work (for the most part)
One of the most lyrical groups in Hip-Hop right now.
Bricks:
Some tracks that got cut were better than tracks on the final cut (Woodstock > Cuckoo)
Topics are repetitive
Stupid Skits
Cuckoo is whack I don’t care you say
Summary:
The Slaughterhouse machine has finally arrived! Mixed feelings on this album, I mean yeah it’s real hip-hop and it’s good hip-hop to BUT something doesn’t sit right with me. Their was to many songs with no concept and just straight 4 niggaz spitting, kind of reminded me of high schoolers who just want to rap so they go verse back, 2 back, 2 back. I mean, Wu Tang has more members than Slaughterhouse and they manage to make deep songs, but then again The WU is a legendary group. The good thing about this album is there are NO commercial tracks on it and that’s really hard to find in hip-hop these days. The album was everything I thought it would be, lyrics, hard beats, and real. Can’t really go wrong with an album like this at the end of the day, a good album for the whip!
The Big Mouths:
Hey! We got our own “stars” now, cool! Anyways this album is hard for me to rate I don’t want to discredit the hard work of these 4 MC’s but I also don’t want to over rate them. So I decided a 4 out of 5 Big Mouths would be fair. These guys gave it their all and they are helping real hip-hop stay alive, good job guys.
Top Tracks:
Cut you loose is a BANGER! (Prod. By Mr. Porter)
Not Tonight (Prod. By Streetrunners)
Lyrical Murderers (Prod. By Therealfocus)
Skips:
All the skits & Cuckoo
