Az Presents Begetz - Ghetto Pass, February 22, 2007
This review is from: Ghetto Pass (Audio CD)
Brooklyn Rapper Begetz delivers his debut album with "Ghetto Pass" (2007). I originally heard Az was Begetz brother, till I read "Begetz was introduced to the game by his brother, who came up rapping with Hip Hop veteran AZ". Guest appearances on this release come from Az, Makada, Marvolouz, Young Noble of the Outlawz, Half-A-Mil, Lil Fizz, Slugz & Star Mafia. My favourite track on this release is "Last Night at Da Club", backed by a dope beat Begetz takes his audience through a night out at the club partying with celebrity's and singing an addictive chorus about almost getting murked. The title track "Ghetto Pass" is another premium joint, Begetz shines while paying tribute to his ghetto. "I Aint Gotta Rap" is a feel good joint, where Begetz celebrates being a hustler and a rapper. Another upbeat club friendly joint is the first track "Popped Up". Az's sole appearance comes on "Cold Outside", which also features some lyrics from Half-A-Mil (R.I.P.). Begetz gets his Too Short on for "I'm A Pimp", then collabs with female singer Makada for "Ain't Got No Time" for another track about the ladies. "Strip Club Anthem" is just that, Begetz then reps his hood with pride on the banging "Brooklyn Shuffle" . Noble of the Outlawz appears on "Around Here", a track about the everyday life of a street hustler. Begetz continues to show love for his hood on "Ghetto", then addresses the N word with Star Mafia on "Hello ******". The album end's with some material that could of been left off- IE Down South Slang, Like My Rimz etc. The last standout track on this release from me is "Throw It Up", Begetz kicks some real thoughts, paying respects to a lot of deceased rapper's and friends, remembering meeting some of them including 2Pac (Begetz was in "Above the Rim"). Overall "Ghetto Pass" is a solid album worth checking out. Az album's usually get slept on, I would not be surprised if this one does to. 3.5.
