5.0 out of 5 stars Free is back!, June 29, 2009

This review is from: Philadelphia Freeway 2 (Audio CD)

I was watching Music Choice rap station on Comcast a month ago and it said that Freeway released this album early this year and I was in shock. I did not know that he had nor when or on what label. Was it a major release? A bootleg? A mixtape? A crappy low budget kinda deal. So I came on here and listened to the samples and was convinced on them alone to buy this album. I have never been more content with a purchase. This album is definitely up there with his past two albums and especially his debut, Philadelphia Freeway. It made have even surpassed it in terms of beats. There is not one bad beat on this album, while the first album had a couple songs that I tend to skip. I also liked the lack of guest appearances. Freeway was able to hold this album down on his own with big name producers, label or guests (with the exception of Sheek). My only downside to this album is its 13 songs and four of them are skits (the intro, outro and two interludes). So its really only a 9 song album. But those 9 songs are biddanging! Check out tracks "Finally Free" (which would be a good album title; kinda like Free At Last), Gots to be the Bomb (best song on the album), and Murder Muzic

So if you like Freeway, I say DEFINITELY add this album to your collection! Holla!

4.0 out of 5 stars "THIS IS MY VERSION OF ITS A GOOD DAY", August 25, 2009

This review is from: Philadelphia Freeway 2 (Audio CD)

I remember when I first heard Freeway on Jay Z's "1-900-Husler". I thought he dropped a good 16 and wanted to hear more. Then "State Property" dropped. Then "Philadelphia Freeway". By this point I was getting tired of his sound, his voice and everything he was talking about. But then "Free At Last" came out (I only brought it cause nothing else was out and I needed a new CD), and I was blown away. He stepped his game up tremendously. It stayed in my rotation for over a year. So when I heard that "Philadelphia Freeway 2" was out, I knew it was a must have.

I had no idea Freeway had a new album coming out. I saw it on Amazon and thought it was a mixtape or collection CD. I was surprised to find out it was all new songs. I didn't know Free had left Def Jam. He released this album independently through Real Talk Entertainment who is known for getting rappers way past they time (Bone Thugs, MC Eiht). So that raised another eyebrow, but once I listened to this CD a couple times I was hooked. The beats are the right fit for Freeway's high pitch tone. There aren't any song I don't like. I actually like all of them equally. That's good but it can also be bad. With no heavy reapeats, you tend to forget about the CD. But that's not a major flaw.

What I like about Freeway is that he waste no time with gimmicks or silly hooks. He and Young Jeezy are throwbacks to the days of hip hop I loved. Not too many artist are doing that these days. Some substitute good lyrics for sing-a-long hooks or disguise beats with auto tune. Rumor has it that Free has found a home with Cash Money Records. That will be very interesting to see Free rhyming over Birdman beats. That is enough to keep me grabbing Freeway albums for awhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd solo is a Classic, May 28, 2009

This review is from: Philadelphia Freeway 2 (Audio CD)

Freeway returns after just a year and a half and drops his 3rd solo, and his best a definite classic ("Philadelphia Freeway" I'd give 4.5 and "Free at Last" I'd give 4 stars). Like all Real Talk Ent. albums, it's short at just 9 songs, of the 9, 1 is a Classic, 3 are almost classics, the other 5 are good, mostly real good songs. Guests are only on 1 song doing 1 verse, so though short, you get to hear a decent amount of Freeway. Glad to see Real Talk puts out another album from a big name rapper with little or no promortion (they have done the same with: Pastor Troy, Edi Amin & Young Noble of the Outlawz, MC Eiht, Spice 1, 8Ball & MJG, Sheek, Layzie & Bizzy Bone, Lil Flip, Brotha Lynch Hung and a few others over the past few years). Production is great as well and handled by the same 3 who do all Real Talk albums, Cozmo does 4 songs, Vinve V does 3, and Big Hollis does 2. A must have classic album from Freeway.
