Editorial Reviews

The original Queensbridge rhymer and Juice Crew legend follows up his five critically acclaimed albums, The Intelligent Hoodlum, Tragedy, Saga Of A Hoodlum, Against All Odds and Still Reporting as well as his recent Thug Matrix mix CD editions with an all new full-length that is sure to take the streets by storm. `Trag' is credited with discovering and developing Platinum selling Queensbridge alums Capone N' Noreaga and Mobb Deep, as well as launching his infamous record company, 25 To Life which released the underground classics 'LA LA', 'Blood Type' and 'Strange Fruit' with Pete Rock. For Tragedy Khadafi's new album, titled The Death Of Tragedy, the `Foul Mahdi' has enlisted the production talents of The Alchemist, Havoc, Scram Jones & 4th Disciple as well as the verbal lashings of Kool G Rap, J-Hood (D-Block), Killah Sha and blood brother Christ Castro. Tragedy Khadafi has been through a lot in life, the streets, the industry and his music reflects that. Look for this project to solidify the legend of one of the most storied, truest and talented MCs to ever emerge from the world's largest housing projects.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tragedy Khadafi - The Death of Tragedy, June 27, 2007

This review is from: The Death of Tragedy (Audio CD)

Tragedy Khadafi's (A.K.A. Percy Chapman) latest album is "The Death of Tragedy" (2007) a short seventeen track release which features production from Havoc, Scram Jones, Betrayal, GQ Beats, Now & Laterz, Crack Val, Alchemist & 4th Disciple. The veteran Queensbridge MC provides an album for the streets, often reppin his record label 25 To Life Records. On the album's brief opener "G-Formation", Khadafi reps himself, and talks about the life he has led. Tragedy Khadafi follows it up with the blazing hot "The Truest", delivering some memorable verses backed by some distinct production from Scram Jones. Tragedy then puts his heart out on the introspective "I Am The Streets" recalling his past, this is a gripping track which ends to soon. "Murder by Numbers" is a grimy street story, while "Crime Legacy" is a short interlude. Tragedy rhymes over some familiar production from Scram Jones on "Sole Death Brothers", then talks about the feds and racism on the brief "Militant Mind State". Tragedy's brother Christ Castro drops in for a thugged out track in "Ryder Music", while repping himself on "Emaculate G's". Tragedy Khadafi reps himself painting some real life pictures on "Intimate Vision", which is followed up by one of the album's most creative track's in "Dejavu". Tragedy tells the story of a gun and it's travels, backed by some laidback production from Now & Laterz. Tragedy talks about hardships and betrayl he has faced on another standout in "If You Don't Know". Tragedy reps "25 To Life" on the album's longest track (which is not very long at all). Tragedy delivers some quotables on "Elbouhio of Death", then rhymes over Alchemist's sole contribution to this release "Milk Murder" (Tribute). A 12 second skit leads up the album's closer the solid "Mind State" feat. Killa Sha. I think this release is a step up from some of his mixtape material which has come out in recent years, at the same time I feel the same as the other reviewer, this album could have used more material. Overall "The Death of Tragedy" is a decent release, which should keep Khadafi's fan's satisfied for some time.

2.0 out of 5 stars This should not be considered an album..., February 18, 2009

I'll keep this short and sweet the way most people probably like to get their reviews. The album's content is tight, definitely the work we loyal fans have come to expect from Tragedy...however; my biggest beef with this so called "album" is the fact that it felt like I was listening to a bunch of snippets of the songs...only 6 tracks clock over 3 minutes...16 tracks and only 36 minutes of music. In my opinion, this is not worth the money. Next time he should wait until he can afford to pay for full songs before compiling something so sad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Album Much Too Short, August 29, 2007

The death of tragedy. Hmmmm how can I describe this album. It's like G-unit before they signed with Em and with better lyrics. The album is definitely enjoyable but it is definitely too short. Just when your getting into a particular track it seems to end. It just leaves you wanting more. Worth owning though. Pick it up, support the underground.
