 Rating:  - me and s double go back some yearsLOOK I'VE SEEN THIS BROTHER DO HIS THING WAY BACK IN NICK WIZ'S BASEMENT, AND TO SEE HIM FINALLY GET HIS JOINT OUT....YO THIS ALBUM TO ME GOT SOME GOOD S@#$T!!! KEEP DOING YOUR THING ONE LOVE YA BOY (JAZZ) Rating: - At last...an album from S double. The first time I heard Shabaam was back on the first Soundbombing mixtape. That was '97. S double's contribution consisted of only one song, "Arabian Nights" yey this typical Rawkus joint was the real gem of the compilation that sparked the Rawkus reign of underground rap. Althoug Shabaam failed to release anything to measure up with this early hit, alot of people, me including have been waiting to hear from him. Rawkus ended up screwing him though, and no album was released for years, until finally he signed with Raptivism and released this 2001 album. Overall this is a good album. Had it been released four years earlier it would have killed. In the 21st century however, the sound that Shabaam brings ... Read More: Rating:  - DissapointmentAfter hearing classics such as "Arabian Nights", "Every Rhyme I Write", "5 Star Generals" and other guest appearances with the likes of Pharoahe Monch and The High And Mighty, i couldn't wait for this album to drop. But then i heard that he had been dropped from Rawkus and was dissing them on a track. I thought that would be a problem since at the time a lot of my favourite artists were signed to Rawkus but at the same time i was aware that Rawkus had a tendancy to push back release dates so i respected what he was doing. After picking the cd up i eagerly tore the packaging off and put it in the box. After the first couple tracks i was appauled. Complete GARBAGE. It seems Shabaam is trying to gain some sort of mainstream audience, and it just ... Read More: Rating: - He left Rawkus... but didn't leave his hiphop rootsS Double aka Shabaam Sahdeeq finally got his debut LP out after what seemed to take 5 years, but he came still hungry for props. I really got my first taste of Shabaam on the Soundbombing compilations and Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 CD and I was pleased with the man's lyrical ability. I decided to explore into him more and peeped his vinyl singles: "5 Star Generals", "Pendulum", "3-D", "Concrete", "We Gonna Eat This Year", etc... and I just digested it all up and loved it. Now sure it would have been nice if Scandalous had a chance to drop because his old Rawkus material is much better than this, but Never Say Never does have its head nodders... Take for instance the opening track "It's Nothing" S Double shot out some decent lyrics ... Read More: Rating:  - A great emcee falling victim to some lackluster productionI've been waiting for Shabaam to drop his debut for what seems like forever now. Ever since I heard him on Soundbombing 2 when he was about to be Rawkus Records' next hit emcee. So after switching labels and a short hiatus in limbo, finally here it is. And i am sad to report that some of the tracks were a major disappointment turning an otherwise solid release into an average one. Hence the three stars. Now let me elaborate on why. The man can rap and has a great delivery but he doesn't really break any new ground as far as lyrical content. And some of the production that plagues this album is nothing short of atrocious. Take track 11 (Who's At My Door?) as an example. He has a great concept and the lyrics are on point, but the way ... Read More: |
