| Young Jeezy made a number of good decisions in crafting The Recession, but the best was to disregard rap’s stupider commercial requisites. So: only one slow jam, barely any guest verses, no stilted attempts to broaden his audience, and — deep breath — no auto-tune. Neither, however, will you hear any ill-advised formal experiments or state-of-hip-hop laments. Remember, Jeezy disdains rappers, just like the teen movie anti-hero who decries the phoniness of movie stars....full text |

| It's been a little while since Roots Manuva last blessed the album circuit - and his return is a solid as ever. Essentially a fans' favourite (without them knowing it yet), he has distilled pretty much everything he has ever done into his new opus "Slime and Reason." So if anything seems familiar, it is simply because he doesn't stray far from his well-trodden path - although what is immediately noticeable is the relentless barrage of melodies.

| Young Jeezy balances commercial/ pop aspirations with core hip-hop sounds on "The Recession," getting a lift from DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Midnight Black and longtime collaborator Shawty Redd on this sonically enjoyable follow-up to 2006's "The Inspiration." Previously criticized for strange rhymes and repeating lines, Jeezy delivers some great turns of phrase on songs like "Wordplay," where he answers claims of glorifying drug dealing with the couplet, "They want wordplay and I got bird play." Considering Jeezy's admission that he's a bit uncomfortable making female-skewed songs, the blend manifests itself most clearly on "Taking It There," with Trey Songz crooning a romantic chorus. While fans may gravitate more toward cuts like "Vacation" and "Yeah," "Taking It There" could wind up being the track Jeezy needs to cement himself as a mainstream artist and not just a favorite of rap aficionados....full text |
