3.0 out of 5 stars A story that could have been told a lot better., December 1, 2009

Before you get all angry and click no out of impulse just listen! I love Rah Digga! I think she is over and above these corny rap hookers that the game is infested with. Dirty Harriet still gets rotation till this day but this album... As you all know this album was supposed to be released but got shelved by J-Records. After hearing this album its probably for the better. For starters you hardly hear that deadly femcee spitting fire like she did in her previous album. In this LP, you hear a Rah Digga that is coasting and spitting the same crap the rappers from the jiggy movement were spitting in 1997-2001. Now follow me as I walk you through the most disappointing album you've never heard.

You remember Rah Digga's first single Party & Bull****? A decent club record with a catchy beat provided by Just Blaze. Well that is probably the best song on this album. I knew I was in trouble when I heard the first three tracks, Intro feat Ghostface(Rah Digga and Ghostface bust the most suspect verses of their rap careers on this track), Street People feat Zee and Joe Budden and Beat A N**** A**(cheesy wannabe crunk track). Things pick up with Dare U To Cross and the first single Party & Bull****. Party Ova Here feat Lloyd Banks is cool but We Could Get Down with its Sega Genesis sounding beat is corny to a laughable degree. Im Rich B**** has some decent bars by Rah Digga but the beat as well as the hook is wack.

It's Gonna Get Worse and I'm Coming Back are the type tracks that this album needed more of. Rah Digga spits well over both of those tracks and beats were nice. Hot Tub feat Snoop Dogg and Mr. Porter is okay but the next two tracks, On The Move feat Mary J Blige and Lookin Da Same To Me are awful. Straight Spittin feat Brooklyn(dope) is followed by Tell Me Why feat Pink(horrible). See It In Your Eyes feat Fabolous and The Way We are decent at best tracks.

Bye Bye N****z is feat Trainin Room is tight but as usual on this album every tight track is countered by a garbage track and You Dont Wanna Know feat Zee and Better Lock Your Doors feat Busta Rhymes and Claudette Ortiz as garbage as a counter tracks can get. I Miss You is great and so is Where It All Began. The album ends with a decent remix of Party & Bull**** feat Missy Elliot and Eve.

Conclusion: Everything is a story is the exact opposite of what Dirty Harriet was and still is. Dirty Harriet is hip hop. Everything Is A Story is hip pop. Rah Digga sounds bored half of the time and you can tell by the direction this album was going she was trying to follow the trends set by Lil Kim and Foxy Brown. So sad. Rah Digga will always be one of the rawest female MCs to grace the mic but she is much better than this album. Dirty Harriet is Rah Digga at her best and this suspect joke is her at her worst.

This review is from: Everything Is a Story (Audio CD)

THIS RAH DIGGA J RECORDS UNRELEASED DEBUT HAS PLENTY OF HOT COLLABORATIONS SUCH AS EVE, LLOYD BANKS,MARY J.BLIGE,SNOOP DOGG,MISSY ELLIOT,BUSTA RHYMES,MOBB DEEP,GHOSTFACE KILLA AND FABULOUS AND MORE. BUT THE REAL BANGERS ARE PART AND BULLSH*T,ON THE MOVE , PARTY OVA HERE, MISSSING U AND THE GREAT TRIBUTE SONG TO HER DAUGHTER SATIVA OVERALL THIS CD SHOULD OF GOT RELEASE CAUSE IT DEFINITELY WOULD OF SOLD MORE THAN DIRTY HARRIERT. THESE SONGS YOU CAN BLAST IN YOUR STEREO, CAR AND JAM IN THE CLUB. THIS ALBUM IS DEFINITELY MORE OF A STREET PARTY RECORD AND I DOUBT IT WILL EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY DESPITE SHE KEEP SAYIN FOR 2YRS NOW ITS COMIN OUT SO I FEEL REAL LUCKY TO COME ACROSS A PROMO COPY. TOO BADD EVERYTHING IS A STORY CD WOULD OF MADE SOME NOISE FOR THE YEAR '04' BUT I GUESS NOBODY WOULD EVER KNOW

This review is from: Everything Is a Story (Audio CD)

I was just looking in an old 2004 Vibe magazine and noticed a review of this album that got 3 1/2 records (their rating scale) and I just remembered I haven't purchased this yet. What is with this album delay sh*t? An artist puts together an album and what happens in the process whereas the finished product isn't released to the masses? I always thought the day after the damn album was finished it should be released. All those guest appearances and no exposure. And we wonder why folks go off on their record label. Artists take control of your own destiny. Get on Koch! :) Charli Baltimore, where you at? She had the same thing happen to her. I was lucky enough to get an advance of that album. Better than anything released that year by any other female rap artist. And I'm pretty sure Rah Digga's release woulda made some noise on the music scene had it seen the light of day. I hope Remy Ma's CD finally gets released. Stop holding these lyrically adept women back and pushin' these sex-driven rap chicks up. Mia X, I love you baby. We need you back too. Not on that New No Limit/ Gutta Music though. Holla @ J Prince... Who else thinks Charli would fit in nice with the Dipset? ANYWAY, release this damn album and stop babysitting it!
