American Gangster: B
Kingdom Come: B- or C
I like the new album because it has much better production and Hov did pretty well from the lyrics to his flow. When I first heard Diddy was gonna do the production on some of the tracks, I was hyped. Diddy is amazing for his stuff in the 90s. Not only for his albums, but BIG's track "I Love the Dough"(ft Jay-Z) was amazing. I was disappointed though because it wasnt up to that standard but I mean times change and I understand that. I think the best song on there is "I Know". Pharrel gave him a sweet beat. "Fallin" is definitly my 2nd fav on there but its a shame Jermaine Dupri jacked the beat from Ski Beatz, who produced "Dead Presidents". Worst track is definitly "Hello Brooklyn 2.0". That beat is TRASH and Lil Wayne IS TRASH! I dont know why everyone is riding on his back. He sucks. Simply put, SUCKS! I cant wait to hear "Dead Presidents 3" which I've heard only a small snippet and I do like it.
Kingdom Come was alright but it was weak considering it didnt live up to "The Black Album" or "The Blueprint". I really wasnt feeling the production that much with the horns and all. Just Blaze could've done better. All in all, I think American Gangster is def above Kingdom Come, but isnt a classic like "The Black Album", "Blueprint" or "Reasonable Doubt".
