Mack, Bitch!

Gangsta rap made the late 80s and in the early 90s, primarily by talking about that the performers were really criminal. Good examples were NWA and later the Wu-Tang Clan; they represented a way of life that was influenced mainly by the law of the strongest, loyalty to allies and the uncompromising pursuit of money and prestige. Today, this genre has evolved in a direction that can shake my head many hip-Headz contempt - Gangsta rappers have become actors who just kick their controversial lyrics in order to achieve high sales figures and not to live from their real to report. Beanie Sigel, the latest descendant of the governed by Jay-Z Roc-A-Fella Posse wants nothing to do with such methods, because this MC from the southern area of ​​Philadelphia really is one of the last remaining serious Thugs.
Beanie Sigel, who is also called short "Mack", is the direct successor of the almost legendary Brooklyn rapper Jay-Z and was taken and also trained by the latter under the wing. Instead of demo tapes to publish scanned Sigel this stage of his career unceremoniously and went directly from the street or the Underground to label Roc-A-Fella, where he was then heard on the great album "Life and Times of S. Carter" by Jay-Z in 1999, and 2000 he published immediately his first solo LP. At this time it seemed as though Beanie Sigel and his colleague Memphis Bleek Although different, but in any case equivalent Styles. Now, with the release of the album "The Reason", but shows definitively that Beanie is the man who will come again in Jay-Z's footsteps, because it surpasses "The Understanding" by Memphis Bleek far.
The production of the album is already the first positive point to be mentioned; the Beats cover the whole range, whether relaxing, threatening, omitted, overexcited or even sometimes a little melancholic. The instrumentals have but all their new, unused sound together, even if one can not expect any really bold innovations as the Jay-Z albums here. The lyrics have of course the obligatory Gangsta affairs to the main statement, but fortunately without any limits on total. In addition, Sigel is among the few who report a lot about the really negative aspects of Gangtsa reality, and not least about his own experiences and his life without so placed and artificial sounding like most (supposedly all grown in the ghetto) black MCs. That being convinced by Sigel much talent for that matter centimes, waived coated aggressive roar and Flowt instead prefer catchy and tight. Guest appearances have next to Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek also other variables such as Scarface, Daz and Kurupt.
"The Reason" is one of the best ever releases of Roc-A-Fella label, making it a thoroughly worthwhile investment for any rap fan who take the time to the next (previously announced for Winter 2001) Jay-Z album . wants to drive Ass-Kickin 'G-Shit and contemplative songs keep democratically the scale, similar to a Tupac album The recommendation goes to everyone who wants to once again hear a really real MC;. solid rap which, although familiar, but not imitated sounds a real compensation for the unfortunately only mediocre "The Dynasty - Roc La Familia".!
