Album Review: I know you're thinking, why did it take fud so long to put up another review? The answer is well, I just didn't feel like it. So without further a due might as well get started. If I could choose one album to represent something that you represent, it'd be this. Real good album. The production is totally unique, mainframe uses samples from crazy places, game shows to your great granmas record closet... It sounds different like nothing you've heard before, real upbeat, he left all the fuzz from the records on the track...
The vocals are real slick, it all sounds kinda classic like something you'd get out of some guys basement. Blu raps about just well, stuff. All the good times growing up in LA (not that I grew up in LA). Things he expierenced, most of it is kinda persoal but still relatable. It's not too serious, fun to listen too. Great to listen while you're just hangin with your friend or whatever. The hidden bonus track is weird but likeable, sounds like rappin over Willie Nelson.
My favorite tracks on the album are Bout it, Mama Always Told Me, and Half a Knot.

Final Verdict: Not really album of the year or anything, but a fun fresh new take, defiantly top 10 of the year though.

I'm really feeling the baritone and sax ? sound on this album.
No idea, just like middle school band instruments, but blu holds it together so well. He kills everything he's put into

There's a FYE in the mall that I live a few blocks away from...

Maybe I'll try to get a job there since there's no real record stores...

The F.Y.E. here is like 15-20 minutes away. I would get a job, but my mom wants me to concentrate more on school.

Just do it in the summer then...

Well that's an obvious option, but it depends on whether we're going anywhere or not.

Oh are you one of those people who spends summers at like their grandparents house or something?

I've never done that, I wish I could, but the only family I've got far away is in STL and Brooklyn... and NC...

So whatever...

Depends on our money situation. Sometimes it's with cousins in Texas or Missouri, other times it's with Grandma in Jamaica. I want to visit my family in Belize though, because I've only been there once. Maybe I'll get one this summer though.

I don't even know where the rest of my family is outside where I already said...

I have cousins that I don't even know because my uncle is a horn dog...
