Past Po Politickin guest Mac Tha Knife sent me this mixtape my way asking me to check it out. The mixtape entitled "ReviewSTACKS Official Mixtape" is collaboration mixtape for the website www.reviewstacks.com. The mixtape is a a 9 track EP featuring: Submit, J. Nolan, Mac Tha Knife, DK aka Wayne Watts, Random, A.K.A., D. Julien, 810, E.A.R.T.H. Crew, GodChaserz, San Diego-based rapper SomeOne, and featuring production from Kid Konnect and RoTone of E.A.R.T.H. Crew.

I enjoyed listening to this mixtape. This tape was breath of fresh air featuring all indie artists. Lead by notable tracks "Freeze Frame", "Spread the Love", and "Living the Life", this mixtape gives you that "real hip hop" feel.. No gunplay, bling bling, or pimp talk just real rap.. Cop the mixtape here

The Po Report: Willy Northpole - Tha Connect (Album Review)

Past Po Politickin guest Willy Northpole promised his debut "Tha Connect" would be a classic album. While the verdict is still out on whether it's a classic album or not, Willy's debut album is a very solid album. Lead by tracks "Body Marked Up", "Hood Dreamer", "Feeling Alright", "#1 Side Chick", and "Vegas Lights", Willy's debut album shows lots of versatility and room for growth as a artist. Willy has nice flow and good charisma on the mic. I am excited to see what's next for Willy Northpole as this release was a solid introduction into the rap game.

Rating (1-5 Scale): 4 Stars

Favorite Songs: "#1 Side Chick ft. Bobby Valentino", "Vegas Lights", "The Story"

Least Favorite Songs: "Ghetto Tour Guide", "The Life ft. Ne-Yo"

Jadakiss "The Last Kiss" - Album Review

8:34 AM |

While I am a big Jadakiss fan, I was a little disappointed with this album. Jada's 3rd album left me with the same feeling as his first two albums; wanting more and not really satisfied. Imagine going to a buffet but only eating a salad. That's the feeling.

Jadakiss is one of the best lyricist alive. While "The Last Kiss" is not bad (it's better than 75% of the hip hop albums dropped in 09), I believe Kiss has the potential to drop a "classic album". The good thing is that "The Last Kiss" does show much growth from his 2nd release "Kiss of Death". So there's still hope that Jada will deliver a classic with his next project/

Favorite Cuts:
Rocking With The Best featuring Pharrell (best song on the album)
Things I've Been Through (my favorite song on the album)
Something Else featuring Young Jeezy

Least Favorite:
Who's Real featuring Swizz Beatz & OJ Da Juiceman
Death Wish featuring Lil' Wayne (worst Wayne verse I heard in a minute)
Something Else Remix featuring Young Jeezy, Snyp Life, Bully, AP, Boo Rossini & Blood Raw (them other cats mess the song up)
