Eminem - When I'm Gone

"I was rather disappointed when I heard Em's new track to be found on Curtain Call. It was too much of a replica of Toy Soldier but with a darker beat. Lyrically, I guess it's solid, but how many other songs has he done for his daughter? This is nothing new, and I definitely don't agree to the hype that it has been getting. I only gave this 2 stars because it is 2 times better than has other piece-of-crap track he released entitled Fack."

Young Buck - All About Money

"This is really the only song I can stomach on Buck's new T.I.P. album. And in all honesty, it's not even that good. He comes hard on his verses, but the chorus is a headache and a half. The result isn't really worth hearing. I only included this song because I promised myself that I'd at least post one of the best songs from the album. It's scary, but even Tony Yayo's latest album was better than Bucks. Ouch. I always thought that Buck was lyrically one of the better members of G-Unit."

Black Eyed Peas - Like That

"This track comes from BEP's Monkey Business. BEP really shows the group's versatility and uniqueness on this track. I'd describe this more as pop-hop than hip-hop, but it's a smooth track. Like That features Q-Tip, John Legend, and C-Lo as well."

Talib Kweli - Flash Gordon

"Talib spits quickly overtop a flashy beat, in what is one of the top songs on his new album entitled Right About Now. Lyrically gifted this man is."

Juelz Santana - There It Go

"This track has been getting a good response around the rap world, and for good reason. This song comes with a solid base beat and Juelz gets to whistlin' some solid verses. It has a rhythm similar to Drop It Like Its Hot. This album should turn shoulders when it drops. Juelz actually performed this song on Jay Leno's (or it may have been Letterman, I forget) show a little while back."

Sleepy Brown - Me, My Baby & My Cadillac

"Now I know this isn't exactly rap, but it's found on Big Boi Presents: Got Purp Vol. 2, and it's got a good sound, so fuck it! Sleepy harmonizes about his love of caddy's. It has a feel-good Detroit oldies sound to it."

Talib Kweli - Two & Two

"Talib slows down the beat on this Right About Now track, and it sounds wonderful. It also gives you a chance to really focus in on his lyrics and you'll realize how smart and quick-witted Talib is. One can compare this to Never Been In Love off his last album, but just more serious."

Cam'ron - Yea Yo

"Talk about a hook that you can't get out of your head. Rush, rush get the llello! I found this track on a Cam mixtape a little while ago. It may be old, but I figured I'd add in a little throwback to change things up. The beat is techno-y and Cam sounds great on it. I would've probably bumped it up to 4.5 stars if it hadn't been for the first verse that is repeated twice."

Talib Kweli, Mos Def - Supreme Supreme

"The old Blackstar members get together to fire off a crazy track that is on Talib's Right About Now. For some reason I have a feeling I heard this song before and that it's an old track that they ressurected for the album, but I'm not sure. I'll do some research into that if I get the time. Anyways, quick summary of the song is that the beat is upbeat and the tempo and lyrics are quick and witted. "

Chamillionaire - Ridin'

"Cham matches up with Krayzie Bone to create this song that is found on his album entitled The Sound Of Revenge. Ridin' is about their dislike for racially-profiling cops. The beat and lyrics both move quickly and match up perfectly. One can expect big things out of Chamillionaire as he gains popularity in all directions pointing away from South."

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Power Of A Smile

"This song comes from the album dedicated to Tupac. Krayzie Bone absolutely rips it in the first verse. He comes hard with meaningful lyrics, and the beat fits the song correctly. Wish and Layzie contribute average displays of lyrical power, but it's Krayzie that definitely carries the song. If Bone ever gets back together with Bizzy, watch out."

Juelz Santana - Rumble Young Man Rumble

"Wow. This is a track that is to be featured on Juelz's What The Game's Been Missing. At first the beat sounds a little dirty, but the more you hear it the harder you realize it is. Juelz spits Cam-like fire, and flows beautifully. Don't feel sorry for me // have a party for me // bitches, balloons, bacardi, and weed // and know that I died with the heart of a G. All I can really say. Very close to give it TMPO's first 5 stars, but I just don't know if this song will be considered classic enough to get a max rate."

Boyz N Da Hood - Nutt Check

"The new boys, along with Lil' Wayne, drop a delightful tune. A nice mix between a southern sound, but a better quality rap than the south usually drops. This song had me addicted for awhile, mostly because I love the chorus, and plus I love Weezy. Nothing spectacular, but I've heard worse."
