3.0 out of 5 stars Solid But Lacking (3 Stars), August 17, 2005

This review is from: Project Mayhem (Audio CD)

L.E.G.A.C.Y. is next up to bat for the Justus League and for this reviewer, the results are mixed. Legs definitely has some rhyme skill, but the album doesn't have the diversity it takes to hold ones attention. 9th Wonder and Khrysis handle all of the boardwork for Project Mayhem. The production is good, but not the jaw-dropping stuff you've come to expect from 9th Wonder and the underrated Khrysis. I'd say it ranges from pretty good to average. On tracks like "I'm A Star" feat. Chaundon, Median, and Joe Scudda, the beats are tight, but the lyrics don't do them any justice. And someone needs to tell Joe Scudda to put the mic down and slowly back away from it. Dude has zero rhyme skills.

But there are some strong cuts to be found. L.E.G.A.C.Y. shares some vivid lyrics about his life struggles on "Pain In Life" and "Broken Heart Disease". Also, Leggy Hendrix and Phonte team up on "Pure" and they both turn in impressive performances. As shown on "Imperfect World" feat. Kiesha Shontelle and Percy Miracles (Phonte's singing alter ego), L.E.G.A.C.Y. is at his best when giving social commentary or telling stories. This is the L.E.G.A.C.Y. that I pay to hear.

Project Mayhem is a solid release, but too many of the songs sound the same whether it's the beat or Leggy's subject matter. There are some great moments, but the album doesn't shift gears enough and as a result, as the previous reviewer said, it's kind of boring. Project Mayhem lacks the energy to create any kind of buzz.

Standout Tracks: Pain In Life, Pure feat. Phonte (My Favorite), Mayhem, Fast Girls, Too Long, Insomnia, Imperfect World feat. Keisha Shontelle

3.0 out of 5 stars Good CD But is very boring, August 15, 2005

By 

Chris (St.Louis,MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Project Mayhem (Audio CD)

The beats are Grimey and then at times generic but they are nice very different then the usuall 9th Wonder affair but not necessarlilly better then some of his projects. Legacy also does a great job at spitting the problems with this album is it is boring and lacks great form and structuring on the tracks and does not play out that good wich is it's major downfall

5.0 out of 5 stars Justus League Maddness!, July 12, 2005

This review is from: Project Mayhem (Audio CD)

THE Justus League is hitting us with some classic hiphop albums and legacy runs in that same line of classic assault. FROM the banging beats that will get ya head nodding to the smooth ill beats that will put u in a Trance the album is a straight through play from the First Track. Legacy unique style blends well with 9th wonder and Khrysis beats, but then again who doesnt blend will with 9th wonder and Khrysis beats. STARIGHT HEAT! peace.
