What's in my rotation???

What's the deal my brothas and my sistas...

I just thought i'd check in, even though I maybe talking to myself. Anyway I was bumpin' some good good and I thought i'd let you all know what i'm listening to right. So what's in the changer magazine.

1. Lil Wayne--The Carter II. He came back around! I'm loving this joint right now. Wayne has stepped up lyrically and the production, minus manny fresh, is fresh (pardon the pun). If you're looking for that same old hot boy spittin' from Wayne them go pop in 400 degreez or the block is hot. If you want to hear a m.c. who has progressed lyrically, then pick up this album.

2. Killer Mike's mixtape--Killa Kill from the ville. This is not Monsta. Killer Mike is back like cooked cracked. Rhymes are solid, and he's totally in his element with this one. Can't wait until the lp drops.

3. Babyface--Grown and Sexy. This has been in my rotation for like 3 months. Good solid r&b joint. Babyface has always dropped good cd's and this is no exception. thumbsup baby!

4. Exhibit A--GrownFolk Ent mixtape. Its biased to comment on this so I won't.

5. Talib Kweli--Right about now mixtape. I'm glad Kweli came back with something fresh. I liked the beautiful struggle and all, it was a good effort. I wasn't in love with it like I was with quality so I was glad for something else from Talib to whet the appetite so to speak. Worth copping.

6. Floetry--Flo'ology. This is a great cd too. I'm still trying to decide how it compares to the first one, but on its own it bangs. It has its smooth joints and also those nice uptempo joint like the single they have out now.

7. Little Brother--The Minstrel Show. Yep...still playing this. I have my joints on here that I have to hear all the time. Beautiful morning was my wake up anthem (lil wayne's "fireman" is the anthem now). But again, I highly recommend this. A good HIP HOP album. and I meant to capitalize that.

8. Black Rob--The Rob report. Honestly I haven't given this cd a lot of spins which is why I threw it in the rotation. I'll get back to you on how this plays out.

9. Kayne West--Late Registration. WAKE UP MR. WEST!!! Still has a lot of reply value just like the first cd did. This did to me isn't great, but it has a lot of good tracks, which makes it solid to me.

10. Big Boi present....Purple Ribbon All Stars--Got Purp Vol. 1. Like the floetry joint i'm still trying to compare this one to their first effort, the purple ribbon mixtape. Its good though and I like it alot. Good to hear the Mo.B (goodie mob) back at it. Clermont lounge is that joint though!

This is what's in the rotation for now. I got some new music that I've got to listen to so look out for that. Next week I should have some reviews on the new Mary J. cd., DTP, youngbloodz, anthony hamilton, and t.i. and the psc's joint so look out.

God Bless
