Baby Bash "Super Saucy" Album Review

Not quite what I was expecting :-l
This is a good cd - it's just that it wasn't quite what I thought it would be like. I've got their other cd and I loved that. I love their style of music, but this was a little over rap heavy in some parts. Their sound is always great, but to me there are only three stand out songs. I love Who's Wit Me, Obsession (great version) and Baby I'm Back. They are fantastic songs. Baby Bash are a great group and this is a great cd, it's just that I didn't end up liking as many songs as I hoped I might.

Baby Bash grew up with his Latin side of the family. His Mexican mother and Anglo-American father both eventually became addicted to heroin[2]. Growing up, his uncles and grandmother exposed him to many different types of musical genres. Bash had aspiration of becoming a professional basketball player, but he now works as a songwriter and rapper. He had planned to play basketball for the junior college he attended in California during the mid 1990's[2]. After his first year, however, he began selling crystal meth and dropped out after discovering that he was more likely to make fast money through dealing than the likelihood of becoming a professional basketball player[2]. Bash eventually tore his ankle several times without surgery, permanently ending the possibility of ever playing basketball at even a semi-professional level. [edit] Career Baby Bash's career began to rise when he went to Houston, Texas, where he met fellow rapper South Park Mexican. Thus, he decided to re-locate there. Prior to his success as a solo artist he, under the name "Baby Beesh", was part of rap groups Potna Deuce, Latino Velvet and N2DEEP.[3] Bash's debut album entitled Savage Dreams was released on the independent label Dope House Records in 2001[4]. The acclaim he received soon caught the attention of Universal Records, who signed him later that year. In 2003, Baby Bash released his first album on a major label, Tha Smokin' Nephew, and Super Saucy in 2005. He recently was featured in Paula DeAnda's first single "Doin' Too Much" from her debut album Paula DeAnda. He has collaborated with numerous other artists during his career, such as West Coast rappers B-Legit, Coolio, E-40[5] and Mac Dre, R&B singers like Akon, Avant, Natalie, and Nate Dogg[2], and other Latino rappers such as Fat Joe, Frost[5], and Pitbull.[6]. He continues to write lyrics for singers such as Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and Frankie J[1]. His third studio album, Cyclone (initially titled Ronnie Ray All Day)[7], was released in late October 2007. So far, Baby Bash has released three singles off the album: "Mamacita" featuring Marcos Hernandez, "Na Na (The Yummy Song)", and "Cyclone" featuring T-Pain. The month of the album release, Baby Bash became Myspace's #1 Latin artist[1], and the single Cyclone had over 750,000 digital and ringtone sales prior to the album's release[1]. Baby Bash is presently working on a new film entitled Primos starring Chingo Bling and Danny Trejo. The comedy involves three cousins working in a bakery with dreams of making money, and is slated for a 2008 release[1]. His major-label debut Tha Smokin' Nephew was well-received by the All Music Guide[8], but his 2007 album Cyclone was given mixed reviews, for example being panned by Rolling Stone magazine.[9]

Emanon "The Waiting Room" Album Review

certainly not the first, hopefully not the last
Very strong in the realm of beats - this is much more melodic than Emanon's previous work. Yes. Previous work. To check out their other albums, you may want to start with Steps Through Time for a compilation of their underground hip hop years that will inspire you beyond words. You may have to dig for it.

Sure the production is better on this album, but I feel a lot of the emceeing and the lyrics lose the gripping power of Emanon's work from the late 90's. I'd give it a 5 in relationship to most other hip hop out there these days, but my expectations for Emanon are sky-high.

Always conscious, intelligent, clever, talented, and poignant, Emanon still ranks somewhere at the top as far as underground hip hop artists are concerned.
