In New York, Victor Santiago has undoubtedly still a name and a lot of respect in the scene. In the recent past, it was become suspiciously quiet around the left foot of the legendary duo Capone'n`Noreaga. In addition to health problems, he threw himself even with his homie Capone, the last joint album Channel 10 had a mean disaster. The career seemed to tend to an end, but NORE loves the game too much to throw the microphone at an early stage in the Hudson River. By his own testimony, he felt lost something and just wanted to try something new. Now he goes so as PAPI (Power Always Proves Intelligence) at the start and skin us 14 new songs to the ears. Although he has to to well-known producers, we assume Large Professor and Pete Rock out times, refrain, he supplies his fans exactly on what they had to do without for so long. In addition to thoughtful tracks (What I had to do, Student of the Game), we get his greatest strengths served, namely the dry in your face style, which he has once punched by the Hood's in the Big Apple! So include tracks like The problem feat. Pharrell and Tadow feat. French Montana, and Pusha T. 2Chainz of the highlights of the album, in addition you can tell him straight in vitamin and Built Pyramids clear that he has again spitten really fun!
It speaks nothing against change, but just beats like they were built to him by Pete Rock and Large Professor, and which are actually tailor-made for its flow, we find a few on Student of the Game. In addition, we find superfluous skits and slow jams like. Only bad ones and God's Angel, who just want to dabble and then not be really arise mood. After all, he makes at the end, again right alarm on Faces of Death. Here convince the flamethrower Raekwon and Busta Rhymes in the passenger seat and bring us to the conclusion urgent need to smoke the peace pipe with Capone that the main character! The gloomy, covered with mist and soaked in deep bass and synthesizer announcements he shakes, now sixteen years in the business, still loose from the sleeves!
For me 3.5 star, I can here but not give. 4 stars would be me but too much!
