ABSTRACT ALBUM REVIEWS/ The Carter IV

So since I did a review on "Watch the Throne" It was only fitting that I took a Listen to "The Carter IV"

After Listening to Wayne's Latest Lp I will some it up in One Word: Good. Let me explain:

The Carter 1 was Awesome, The Carter 2 was weak & The Carter 3 was TERRIBLE!!!

The Issue with Wayne's albums has been the same; DOPE SINGLES BUT WEAK SONGS!!!

The Carter IV Surprised me... I found that I was able to Listen to songs that were not singles and his beat selection was much much better than the Last 2 Lps! Again, Wayne has always had Awesome singles but his album tracks are usually Garbage! Now the Carter 4 is FAR from a Classic- its not even Great (How could it be great when the best tracks on the album don't even have him on them?! ex. interlude & Outro) but a few tracks really spoke to me!!! "Nightmares of the Bottom" and "How to Hate" are awesome and "Abortion" Is INSANE!!!

Tracks Like "MegaMan" and "Blunt Blowin" are weak but they even have some cool Punchlines! Speaking of Punchlines: WAYNE'S PUNCHLINES ON THIS ALBUM ARE CRAAAAZY!!! I would have to say that this album houses his best Punchlines ever... "I'm a Diamond in the Ruff Like a Baby in the Trash" "I'm Good- I'm 1 hunnid Like a Fastball!" "I brought a brand new attitude... The hate is music to me- IVE GOT MY DANCING SHOES!!!" "Sometimes you question things that there are no answers to- But I just Brought a House on I DONT GIVE A FUCK AVENUE!!!" SHEESH I even Like the fact that he went left and did a track like "How to Love"

All in all "The Carter IV" is a pretty good Lp. Not Great and FAR From a Classic but... A pretty good Lp

In this era of music you take what you can get!!! Real Hiphop Heads Know what I Mean!!!

Watch the Throne was hot!!!! But #OnTheThrone

So with the release of the anticipated "Watch the Throne," Abstract Thought's sponsored artist Chase Allen applied the pressure with his release of "On the Throne." Chase took what he felt were the hottest beats from Kanye and Jay's masterpiece and in an Abstract way, ripped them apart!

He sent us the tracks and we listened to them as we prepared for our upcoming 08/27 event and could not even concentrate on our planning process because the lyrics were simply punishing! If you don't download this, you don't like real music. Consider it #AbstractApproved!

"By Any Means"

Thinking back to one of the pioneers of the civil rights movement I wanted to acknowledge Malcolm X. Now some may be asking yourselves why am I taking this time out to acknowledge brotha Malcolm when its not black history month nor does he have a birthday coming up, yet it has everything to do with self reflection. Back in 07 “the genius” aka @BillyAbstract developed the shirt “By Any Means”. We took the familiar picture of brotha Malcolm holding the AK-47 peeping out the window and altered it to fit the Abstract Thought criteria. We debuted the shirts at the official launch of the brand in 2008, which also happened to be my (@DjAYEboogie) & @BillyAbstract bday event as well. Each shirt we develop has a strong central message behind it, therefore I wanted to take the time out to revist one of our strongest designs (Aside from that I just wanted to revisit one of the best nights of my life; 21st bday)

Abstract Album Reviews!!!

Growing my friends and I used to rate an album based on how many songs we had to replay the 1st time we listened to them and how many times. Albums like the blue print 1, stillmatic, god son, the black album, life after death are just a few that had us saying things like "HOLD ON HOLD ON... I NOOOO HE DIDNT JUST SAY THAT!!!! RUN IT BACK!!!!!!" Lol

I have to be honest... The Drizzy album is... OK. Dont get me wrong he is a super dope mc but... the majority of the tracks are just cool. The track that I had to rewind was Light up and that was to hear what jay said about the barzini meeting...

The Dope-est tracks hands down, Thank me now, and Show me a good time!!!

All in all... This is an album that is definitely needed for a hip hop head's collection!!!
