5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC from rap's Mahdi, December 23, 2004

This review is from: Against All Odds (Audio CD)

One of the best lyricists in hip hop history, the father of the style Capone-N-Noreaga used to get famous, he finally releases another solo album after 8 years. One of my all time favorite albums, packed with 15 songs, 3 are ok, about 5 or 6 could be considered classics, and the rest are very good. Guests are from his 25 II Life crew as well as a couple others. Production is great and about half is done by Spunk Bigga and 5 others contribute as well. He has lyrics that are very deep and touching at times, as well as complex metaphors that are great and a flow that is near the top, its a shame he isn't well known because both cd's I have of his are 2 of my all time favorite rap CD's out of the 620+ I have (as of 12/04) and he should be multi-platinum and getting radio play not the garbage cupcake $*!+ that's on the radio. Everyone of my friends that heard this went out and bought it as well as his newest cd "Still Reportin". Part of this cd is his "Thug Matrix" which was never relaeased. A must have rap album from one of rap's greats out of Queensbridge.

#2 - 10 (classic - great beat)
#3 - 10 (CLASSIC - f/ Headrush Napoleon & Tasha Holiday -- it is edited out on this but he's talking about Noreaga after the 2 had a falling out)

#7 - 7
#8 - 9.5 (f/ Cormega -- deep song -- also on Mega's "Realness" & "Hustler/Rapper")
#9 - 10 (very deep song -- f/ joya & b minor)
#10 - 8.5 (f/ killah shah & headrush napoleon)
#11 - 8.5 (f/ dave bing & killah shah -- about trife h0*$)
#12 - 9.5 (gangsta song w/ great beat -- talking about NORE again)
#13 - 9 (f/ killah shah & angel dust)
#15 - 7.5 (f/ milz)
#16 - 8 (message to killa black)
#17 - 8.5 (odd but good beat -- f/ killah shah & angel dust)
#18 - 10 (another very deep song -- f/ olu -- dediacted to many of his dead homies)

4.0 out of 5 stars Against All odds/Thug Matrix, June 12, 2001

By 

"worldsend" (chicago, illinois Usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Against All Odds (Audio CD)

QB is at it again with another street album. This is Trag from Qb housing featured on "QB Finest album" aka Intelligent Hoodlum from back in the day.This album had an early release called "Thug Matrix". So I have had it for a while, so some tracks may be on this Cd or not but majority are. It is a street classic. Well he has hooked up with Havoc, Imani Thug,Cormega(They forced my Hand), Camron(Enemy of the State), Killa Sha,Ja Rule(Bing Monsters) and RZA(Enemy of the State) to bring you Against All Odds. This is easily is one of the best street album this year.With rugged beats,asiatic type rhymes and thug lingo, go this album. You will not be disappointed. peace. one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tragedy deserves respect!!, September 17, 2001

If you don't know who Tragedy Khadafi is, listen to Capone-N-Noreaga's album "The War Report", he was on more than half the tracks. He more than lives up to his rep on this CD. Surely one of QB's best lyricists (and actually he was on track 2 of the QB's finest CD), he can flow over any kind of beat, displaying all of talents on this great CD. By far, one of the best albums of 2001
