Solid Queensbridge compilation.......2005-05-18

Lake is a Queensbridge dude that served a long bid in jail for shooting a kid in the projects. On his release, he is trying to get into the music industry by joining popular local talent (and QB has alot)and make a solid debut for his label Lake Entertainment. Lake is an M.C also, you can hear him on God's Son by Nas, he is on song #12. So this CD here, 41st Side was a strong first effort and has both talented MCs (Mobb Deep,Littles,Cormega,Nas,Blitz,Bravehearts,Killa Sha,etc.) and talented producers (Sha,Alchemist,Havoc and L.E.S) to make classic Queensbridge type music. The only real downside to the album is that V-12 is sings weak hooks and some of the tracks are lackluster in their format and amateur sound. The strong tracks throughout are:
Cardboard Box-Good verses, basic sound but it works well
Pain-Excellent QB type beat and Noyd delivers polished bars
Do My Thang-Tight beat and head nodding type shish
Let 'Em Hang-Nas shows why he has QB on lock, hook is so-so
Crazy 8s-Another clique track, good feel to it
We Gon Buck-Cormega easily outshine CNN but the track is great
Get Back-Tragedy is one of the best QB rappers, great track

Usually compilations are chalk full of discarded songs off people's solo joints. This isn't that, its good QB style rap. It isn't mainstream sounding or full of disco beats, this is really just for hip-hop heads who like the "Queens" style of rap. L.E.S shows he is one of the best and most-underrated producers and Killa Sha shines on the best songs. School Grade: B

CLASSIC Compilation from QB.......2004-11-20

This is one of my all time favorite CD's, in my top 10-15 rap albums of the 700 or so I own. Lake is on 5 of the 14 songs. Only one song on here is skippable but it's still ok. Has a good number of classic songs (about 4 of them) and some great songs and the rest are good. Feautures the Queensbridge rappers that everyone should know and love as well as some tight beats - real hardcore gangsta rap - not no watered down candy @$$ commercial hip-POP that pollutes the airwaves. Production is handled by Havoc, A Dog, Goodie Goodman, and UNo Dos (all do 1 song), Killah Shah does 2, and Artillery and ALCHemist aboth do 4 songs. A must have album for any rap fan - you WILL NOT BE DISAPPONTED!!!

#2 - 9.5 (Havoc, Nature, Littles, The Jackal -- tight beat)
#4 - 6 (Lake - my least favorite on here)
#5 - 10 (classic by Big Noyd & A. Dog -- greatt beat)
#6 - 10 (classic by: Killah Shah -- great beat)
#7 - 9 (Germ & Artillery -- nice beat)
#8 - 8 (Bars, Hooks, Don Alon, Chinky)
#10 - 9.5 (Nas, Lake & V-12 -- nice beat)
#12 - 8.5 (Littles, Wiz, Blitz (pop), Germ, Jungle, Faul Monday, Lake, Prodigy)
#13 - 9.5 (Mr. Challish, Faul Monday, Killah Shah --- nice beat)
#15 - 10 (classic by: Craig G f/ Voice -- tight beat)
#16 - 10 (classic by: Cormega, Noreaga, Capone, Lake -- tight beat)
#17 - 9 (Prodigy, tragedy Khadafi, Ammo)
#18 - 9.5 (Blitz (Pop) & Lake - a story about 2 different perspectives - great song)
#20 - 8 (Bigga Du, Fly Tye, Hooks, Don Alon)

""also check out "One Never KNows" by Lake & Nas --- it's HOT""
QUEENSBRIDGE!!!!! ------ QBC
check all my reviews

Queens is King.......2003-03-15

There's really not much to say except that if you listen to Queens music like Mobb Deep, Cormega, Nas, Nature, CNN, Tragedy Khadafi, etc. than you need this CD. It is a great all-star album, much better than QB's Finest. Best track "We Gon Buck"

A Little Late..........2002-07-11

But I hope that my review helps out some folks.

Look. Straight outta North Philly.

But this alb is Banging.

Point Blank.

I don't know all of these producers and stuff like that. But I do know good ride/thug/real/street/...whatever you wanna call it...

It's all over...

41st side is hot...

I hope that theres another 41st side to come out, but wit all of the beef floating around QB, I don't know...

Hopefully these knuckleheads get they stuff together and get this money. They got a lot of cats hungry after this album. You gotta cop it, Baby!!

QB's Finest.......2002-04-13

I like a lot of QB artists, so this was a perfect album for me. Anyone who likes New York hardcore rap will love this album. Here is a song by song breakdown:

Cardboard Box (5 out of 5)-Havoc produces this track featuring himself, Jackal, Littles, and Nature. Hav and Nate have the best verses and this track features a great beat. Top notch.

Crush Linen (5/5)-Lake spits over an Alchemist produced track. Although I had never heard Lake before, he is a good MC and this is one of the better solo tracks on the album.

Pain (5/5)- Noyd (a personal favorite of mine) and A. Dog each get a verse on this track also produced by A. Dog. This song features great lyrics, MCing, and production. My favorite track on the album.

Do My Thang (3.5/5)- Killa Sha of the Killa Kids produces and rhymes on this track. I had heard Sha on Tragedy's album "Against All Odds" and thought he was pretty good. This is a good track, but a little below the previous ones.

Husslers N Gangstaz (4/5)- Germ and Artillery trade verses on this track produced by Artillery. A top track about the life of hustlers and gangsters.

Take U Back (3/5)- An track with an old school sound featuring Bars N Hooks, Chinky, and Don Alon and produced by Artillery. I didn't like the beat very much.

Let Em Hang (3.5/5)- Nas and Lake with help from V-12 and produced by The Alchemist. A little too R&B sounding to me.

Crazy 8's (4.5/5)- Littles, Wiz, Blitz, Jungle, Faul Monday, and Germ all get a verse while Lake and Prodigy do the chorus. Features good MCing and prodcution by Goodie Goodman.

Why Y'all Wanna Play (4/5)- Faul Monday, Mr. Chalise, and Killa Sha unite for this track also produced by Sha. Monday and Chalise have a better flow than Sha, but a good track.

Keep Doin U (3.5/5)- Craig G and Voice over a Artillery produced beat. Pretty good.

We Gon Buck (5/5)- CNN, Lake, and Cormega over a good Alchemist beat. The MCs fit good together, althogh Lake and Capone sound similar. One of the best tracks on the album, although I am a big CNN fan so I could be bias.

Get Back (5/5)- Prodigy, Ammo, and Tragedy shine on this track produced by Uno Dos. P and Tragedy have the best verses, but Ammo holds himself pretty well too.

Right or Wrong (5/5)- One of the best tracks featuring great lyrics and MCing by Lake and Blitz. No producer is listed. This one about crime and MCing makes you really listen.

41st Side (3/5)- Bigga Du, Fly Tye, Hooks, and Don Alon unite for this average track produced by Artillery. It has a pretty good beat, but the MCing is only average.
