Vybz Kartel the lyrical king, October 28, 2009
This review is from: Pon Di Gaza (MP3 Download)
Despite the fact nobody is buying this record (rumor has is that it sold something like 8 copes its first week), this album represents a decent effort from Vybz Kartel. It's nowhere close to his 2008 effort The Teacher's Back.
For starters, it is a PG-13 album. Big change from the Dancehall Mozart. You arent gonna hear your typical Vybz batty boy talk or poonani talk. The "album" was done in 4 days...from his washroom. Most of it is freestyle or at least partly freestyle and has weak production value.
Bottom line: few good songs - "get wild", "love of money", "like am movie" "versitility" (clean version of "virginity"), but def. nowhere close to the effort of Teacher's Back. Big fan of Vybz's voice, his style and his music, so def. worth 9 bucks for me. Some of these songs are available in the R version and are WAY better.
3/5, cuz i'm comparing it against Teacher's Back. Hopefully his next album though, he returns to his true style, as the filthy, hilarious, talented word artist he is
