God's Favorite [Clean]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
As one half of the Queensbridge rap duo Capone 'n' Noreaga, Victor "Noreaga" Santiago's street credibility is based on his ability to rhyme over catchy, head-nodding beats while utilizing his own street slanguage, underdig (read: you understand)? Employing the services of knob twiddlers du jour the Neptunes to create sure-fire dance-floor hits, Pharrell Williams bangs out yelzabulb (read: off the hook) drum programs on the dated "Grimey" and the anthemic "Head Bussa." The Norebonics routine gets a little tired on "Nahmeanuheard" (and its remix featuring Capone, Cam'ron, and Fat Joe), as does the XXX-rated exercise in juvenilia on "Big D," featuring emcee turned pornographer Akinyele and foskeeezy (read: foul girl) Heather Hunter. But N.O.R.E. proves that he's not completely vacant on the eloquent "Live My Life," featuring a crooning Ja Rule on the chorus. With phat tracks laced by EZ Elpee and a rejuvenated Swizz Beatz, N.O.R.E. has no problem keeping things shamone (read: moving). --Dalton Higgins

Eeww!.......2006-06-19

This is like the music to one of those theme park Celebrate America type shows. The musical arrangements have that hokey, somewhat dated, overly sweet and enthusiatic feel I hate. I thought I was getting the standard versions of these songs but what I got was the cruise ship extravaganza, yuck!

this land is your land.......2006-04-17

to think that "this land is your land" is a patriotic song is laughable at best, however is a common misconception of the song. you'd think that the creators of this cd would research the songs they put on the cd a little more, and find that "this land is your land" is actually a protest song (original lyrics contained lyrics such as "on that sign there it said private property/but on the other side it didn't say nothing/that side was made for you and me", an obvious attack on capitalism".

America's Favorite Patriotic Songs.......2005-09-30

The title says it all.
Good old fashioned "goose bump" music.

Great Place to Start a Patriotic Music Collection.......2002-09-12

This choral collection features a majority of the best known and loved patriotic songs from our country's history. I'll admit I was a little leery of the choral part when I first picked it up, but I've found that, for the most part, it works really well.

It especially stands out on the acappella version of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." It's absolutely stunning. Other fun songs are "This Land is Your Land," which I really wasn't familiar with before I bought this, and a personal recent favorite song "God Bless the USA." I love having the "Armed Forces Medley" on here so I can learn these songs. And the instrumental arrangement on "Stars and Stripes Forever Medley" at the end has me taping my toes every time I hear it.

There are a couple missteps, however. I've heard better versions of "The Star Spangled Banner." I think one reason I'm disappointed with it is that they only include one verse. I love the other verses of our national anthem, and wished they'd included at least one more since they included multiple verses of all the other songs. Also, "If My People" and "God Save America," while find songs, just don't seem to fit here.

not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

God's Favorite.......2006-02-14

Recognized for keeping a biography of Manuel Noriega with him at all times, the then 16 year old Victor Santiago was christened after the Panamanian General who he emulated while serving time for attempted murder. In prison he met his present day cohort Capone during bible class. He became well known in the game during a time of the media frenzied east coast, west coast dispute with his verse on "LA, LA" the response to Tha Dogg Pound's dis record "New York, New York." Later in the year Capone -N- Noreaga was signed to Tommy Boy Records and released their debut album "The War Report". Five years and three albums later, N.O.R.E. made his way from the label that he claims "sucks" to the Godfather of rap labels "Def Jam Records". Recorded in just six weeks "God's Favorite" is a return to focus for N.O.R.E. who says he wasn't focused when his last solo album "N.O.R.E." was being recorded. The album looks to be a home run with The Neptunes, Irv Gotti, and Swizz Beats conducting about half of the album's production.

The album begins in a very peculiar way with two straight intro's "Hit Me Slime" and "God's Favorite". The third track is his single and current banger "Nothing" which is one of five tracks that were produced by the super producers The Neptunes. The next song "Grimey" isn't anything new since it was on the Violator compilation but the fire that the Queens MC spits on the blazin' track and the energetic beat that The Neptunes hooked up keeps your head knockin' back and forth relentlessly. "Mr. CEO" is dedicated to none other then the CEO who won't let him eat and handle his business in the rap game because he straight out of the hood. Irv Gotti produced "Life My Life" which features Ja Rule but he only does the hook. The song isn't anything spectacular and is the first song on the album that won't provide you much replay value.

You know it isn't an album without the humor which is what N.O.R.E. is known for, but he does tone that down and switch gears on the track "Black Clouds" where N.O.R.E. displays his honesty with the people saying "I admit Melvin Flynt my soul wasn't there/recorded in the studio my mind wasn't clear/." After Black Clouds the album slides into a slump with very mediocre tracks that aren't really worth the listen. The album does in fact conclude very well with one of the highpoints from the album that is the "Nameanuheard Remix" which features Capone, Cam'Ron, Fat Joe, and Cassidy. Also the Bonus Track "The Life Of A...(Gangsta) by Capone will get Capone fans eager for his solo album.

N.O.R.E.'s "God Favorite" maybe his most focused album but it seems as it was his most un prepared work to date. The consistency and replay value of this joint just isn't on it. The lack of diversity in production from The Neptunes, Irv Gotti, and Swizz Beats, and his set of producers take away from the quality of the album. The crew love that he shows towards his Thugged Out Militant doesn't assist the album very well as it seems N.O.R.E. got sluggish with the album and just threw on filler tracks which features his crew. N.O.R.E. is better off being Noreaga with his partner Capone for group albums and not solo's. The album is good for a laugh here and there but for the most part it's just N.O.R.E. talking noise for 70 minutes.

2.5 outta' 5.

Pleather

* Always 100% dog-free-guaranteed.

* Designer Ty Bowers calls pleather "the wild kingdom of synthetic fabrics. It can look like snakeskin [and] can be dyed any color."

* As the L.A. Times says, pleather "beckons to budget-conscious trendoids who want to save money and animal lives." A pair of leather pants can cost $500 or more, while pleather pants can be found for under 100 bucks.

* These days, it's easy to accessorize and save lives. One quick trip to the mall (or online shopping spree), and you can score tons of great synthetic shoes, bags, belts, and more-in stylin' brands like Steve Madden, Unlisted, and Mudd. Click here for a free copy of PETA's "Shopping Guide to Nonleather Products."

Leather

* While most leather comes from cows, it can also be made from ... dogs and cats! In the Philippines and Korea, dog leather is routinely marked "cow skin" for export purposes. When you wear leather, you can never be sure whose skin you're in.

* To make real snakeskin bags and shoes, reptiles are ripped from their jungle homes, often skinned alive, then left to suffer for hours, or even days, until they die.

* Buy leather, and animals pay the price-with their lives. Production lines move too fast for slaughterhouse workers to ensure that all animals are dead before being skinned and having their legs cut off.

Britney Spears-
Pretty in Pleather

Add pop princess Britney Spears to the growing list of stars, including Pamela Anderson, who are singing the praises of pleather.

In her "Oops ... I Did It Again" video, she slipped into a skin-hugging, scarlet pleather bodysuit.

not god's favirote but one of mine.......2005-07-19

this album is bumpin the beats are tight as hell (swizz and neptunes).N.O delivers the thugged out presence but the best song
on here is the last one with the capone solo get this shit

"God's Favorite" 3.5 star album.......2005-07-10

The last time I heard, NORE was supposed to have an album from Rocafella called `One Fan A Day', but judgin' by the lastest issue of XXL, he's not apart of the ROC, or Carter Administration like they're callin' it now. As for this 2002album though, is was a solid release complete w/ ALL of NORE's charisma, and some pretty heavy beats. He was never a supreme lyricist, but people have never hated in the way he flips his words, pretty much in the same boat as Cam'Ron-except with NORE's slightly high tone, you never wanna put yourself o sleep. This album is full of headnodders, including the hit single"Nothin", one of the best Neptune beats on "Grimey", along w/ two other Neptune joints of "Head Bussa" and "Full Mode". One songs people might hate on though is "Love Ya Moms" w/ Capone, Mus-N-Maze, Gold, & Complexions. Overall it's meant to be a dedication songs, but lyrically it's still hard enough to NOT be mistakin' for any P. Diddy type stuff. I think "Banned from the Club" w/ Mus-N-Maze was on some other NORE cd, but I'm not mad at it for bein' on here. The only downside to this album was that it starts off w/ TWO skits, and some songs ("Wanna Be Like Him" w/ Mashonda, "Live My Life" w/ Ja Rule, "Consider This" w/ Kelis) could have been left off the album, cause they're pretty much crappy filly material. Hopefully NORE will be able to find a decent label to hook up with, cause he's able to put out good radio songs while not sacrificing any street cred.

3rd solo is his worst -- but still decent.......2005-06-25

After 3 years since his last solo, about 6 months of push back dates (leading to the fact I heard half the album before it came out), and a move to Def Jam, this was supposed to be his best album and best selling (his other 2 solo's went gold (and I'd give them 4.5 stars) as did both his group albums with Capone which I'd give both 5 stars, and of them 4 albums), I'd have to say this is his worst yet, barely getting 4 stars. Of the 16 songs (1 is a Capone solo) 1 is almost a classic, 3 I skip, 1 is ok, the others are good. Guests are on every song (about half just do the hooks) so you don't get a lot of NORE"s wild eccentric rapping style. Production is not the best, and bad on a few songs that brings the quality down a little. Neptunes did 5 songs, Swizz Beats & NPK each did 3 songs, EZ Elpee, Irv Gotti, L.E.S., Yogi, Kyze all do 1 song. A good album to have for his fans but far rfrom his best work.

#3 - 8 (f/ neptunes)
#4 - 9 (f/ Neptunes -- this was out over a year before the album came out)
#5 - 6 (f/ DWNLZY -- annoying beat & hook)
#6 - 8 (f/ Maze, Musolini, Capone)
#7 - 9 (f/ Akinyele, Heather Hunter -- dirty song)
#8 - 9 (f/ Ja Rule -- nice beat)
#9 - 8 (f/ Neptunes)
#10 - 9.5 (deep song about their moms -- f/ Capone, Maze, Musolini, Complexsion)
#11 - 8 (f/ neptunes)
#12 - 5.5 (f/ Mashonda)
#13 - 8.5 (f/ complexsion)
#14 - 8.5 (f/ final chapter)
#15 - 8.5 (f/ musolini)
#16 - 6 (f/ kelis)
#17 - 8 (f/ Cam'ron, Cassidy, Fat Joe, Capone)
#19 - 7.5 (capone f/ Chinky -- no NORE)

The future.......2003-06-16

Track 19 explains the whole album cause everyone is waiting for Capone album. This is the future of hiphop, the future of nonstop theft and bootlegging.

It's NORE, younowhatimean!!!.......2003-05-16

This CD is bangin, please believe me. The cuts to listen to are "Nothin," "Big D," "Headbussa," and "Consider This."

Grimey?????.......2002-07-14

Noreaga used to be an ill grimy MC with albums such as "the War Report"(classic) and his first solo Lp. Noreaga always talks about how grimey he is, but all he does on this record is rap over jiggy Neptune beats in an attempt to make club songs. Doing cheesey songs with R&B singers and Ja Rule is about as un-grimy and commercial as it gets. Noreaga is a SELL-OUT. Save your money and buy CNN's War report, because this album is terrible.

Same Ol' Same..........BUT................2002-07-06

Track #3 (Nothin) is HOT...... Thats definately a slammin track. Grimey isnt too bad and there are a few other tracks that are OK but other than that Id have to say its been done a billion times before and even the beats sound like the same ol' ish on most of the tracks. Also Nore isnt exactly a lyrical genius but hes slightly interesting and funny at some points. Its definately worth the check out if you like Da Shlimey Grimey... NahMeanUHeard?

Weak Production.......2002-07-05

I am a big CNN fan so I picked this up as soon as it came out, but the production just doesn't help Noreaga out. Personally, I think Capone is the better MC of the two, but Nore is a good MC. But, he doesn't get very good production on several of the songs despite the fact that big names like The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Kyze, Irv Gotti, SPK, and LES do the production. There are still several good tracks, like Grimey, Nahmeanuheard, Mr Ceo, Love Ya Moms, Head Bussa, Banned from Another Club, and Nahmeanuheard Remix. The Life of A.. is a good song, but is just Capone. Live My Life and Black Clouds are both songs that grew on me-I didn't like them at first, but after a couple listens they are better. Capone makes the best guest spots, but Dwnlzy, Musaliny, Maze, Gold, Troy Outlaw, Ja Rule, Final Chapter, Cam'ron, Fat Joe, Complexions, and Cassidy all have good moments. Overall, it is better than Melvin Flynt, but still a cut below N.O.R.E. and well below the two CNN albums.

Customer Reviews:

Wilmot.......2007-01-10

Well done, with the only drawback that Joshua Rifkind is not at the piano. Sometimes the pace is too frenetic.

Delightful colletion of Scott Joplin's music.......2006-08-17

This is a wonderful collection of Scott Joplin's music. Delightful to own, to play over and over and over.

Avoid.......2004-10-30

I have to agree with "A music fan" is his review of March 2003.

The piano used is poor, and not even all that well in tune. The recorded sound quality is muffled and 'processed'-sounding.

And the playing, I am afraid, is an insult to Joplin. What a pity to produce so full a set, and to do it so badly. A travesty.

If you want a superb Joplin set, played "as wrote", on a good concert grand and played with verve and style, and well-recorded, it's got to be the new Guido Nielsen 4 CD set on the Basta label (Basta 30-91262).

For a really fine single CD recorded on a top-notch piano and with playing that brings out all the elegance in Joplin's music (which it isn't wrong to do - Joplin put it in there), try the new Naxos CD played by Alexander Peskanov (Naxos 8.559114).

The Zimmerman set, I am afraid, must be consigned to the dustbin. A pity.

One Star for Pity.......2003-05-05

My review in two statements: DON'T BUY IT. EVER.

One star for pity - and for the effort of going to the trouble of learning Scott Joplin's complete works. I know it must have been quite a task getting the sheet music for these works and it must have been quite a task learning them, but I cannot honestly say that this is a good recording. Richard Zimmerman plays these works on a piano with bad quality sound, and he plays these works with his own embellishments and in his own style. If you're going to take liberties with a written score, you'd might as well not even try to play it at all. Either play it as written, or don't play it. Why can't people understand that?

The Complete Works?? I think not.......2002-08-06

I bought the CD entitled the Complete Works of Scott Joplin but upon receiving it I found that it only contained 14 tracks from the Complete Works book. The CD at the price is certainly a good buy even with the 14 tracks but it should be more correctly labled as the "Almost" complete works - "Sort - Of" Complete works or maybe A Partial Compilation of the Complete Works but a Complete Works it is not. It appears that a more Complete Works also has the same label.. Or maybe I am missing something..
