3.0 out of 5 stars G-Unit "T.O.S.: Terminate On Sight"- 3.25 Stars, July 1, 2008

This review is from: Tos - Terminate on Sight (Audio CD)

First things first, Young Buck appears on a few tracks on this album, and therefore counts as a guest appearance (being that he is no longer in the Unit). Ok, to start things off, if you are not a fan of "typical gangster music", then this album is not for you. The album sounds like most of the other music coming out of the G-Unit camp. The lyrics on the album are handled by 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks. Lloyd Banks (usually the best rapper in the group) seems to have lost whatever he had left in his tank. If you listen to his flow and lyrics on his first album, Hunger for More, or even his second release, Rotten Apple, you can hear the difference. 50 Cent sounds the same as usual, except he does a lot of singing (ironic ala Ja Rule beef). Tony Yayo actually sounds better on this album than he did on most of his own solo album. That doesn't mean he's dope, though. The lyrics on here are mostly about guns and women; the whole "gangster" appeal is shown throughout every song. The production is handled by the likes of Swizz Beats (who actually does a decent job compared to his recent works), Rick Rock, Tha Bizness, Polow da Don, and a few others. The production is clubby and made for the ride (it seems); although it does lack in substance and seems typical for this type of album. The guests? Young Buck and Mavado. Mavado provides a vocal chorus for the track "Let It Good", and Young Buck is featured on 4 songs. Buck does better than the members in just about every song he's on. Overall, this album doesn't seem to cut it. Unless, of course, the reason it is being played is for the car or the club. This album is sub par to Beg for Mercy, their previous album. A plus though, the album does get much better when you get near the end. The last few songs are on a higher level then most of the songs in the beginning. If you're not already a fan of G-Unit, this album will not turn you into one. If, however, you are a fan of G-Unit and their gritty style of hip hop, then you should enjoy this album. If you don't listen, but are curious, I'd recommend a download before a buy.

Lyrics- 5.5/10
Production- 7/10

4.0 out of 5 stars Buisness As Usual..., July 6, 2008

This review is from: Tos - Terminate on Sight (Audio CD)

I'm not going to jump on anyone who gave a lame review, cause different people have different tastes. G-unit is hot (still), but they're not the best. What some people need to understand is it's not even about that anymore. I say that because I can't compare a product like this to the "ringtone" era, which is "killing" me and all music by the minute. This album does nothing more than serve as a reminder that true Hip Hop Artists still exist. That's what these guys are. (You can tell, cause their videos are horrible lol). But like them or not, sit back and look at how they operate...like a well oiled machine. In 5 1/2 years they have 10 studio albums between them...11 if you count The Games. Don't even ask me how many mixtapes they have between them; Which finally brings me to the album. They completely bring the raw mixtape vibe. good lyrics that paint pictures (like they're supposed to) supported by sick, pounding loops/beats. Really, nothing fancy at all, but done to perfection./ Real qucik on Young Buck. I'm pissed about the whole thing. To me, he'll always be G-Unit, not just someone signed to G-Unit Records. Bank$ is the sickest though. / Anyhow if you want brief lesson in Hip Hop, something to bump while driving, or something to chill to while playin' pool, pick this up.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that bad, but really not that good, July 30, 2008

This review is from: Tos - Terminate on Sight (Audio CD)

G-Unit's second studio album "T.O.S." starts off with a bang. The first track, Straight Outta Southside, is about as good a song as G-Unit has ever put out. An insane beat with great rapping from all on board. However, every other song after this seems to lead a sleepwalk through 60 minutes of boring rap. Yeah, most of the songs are OK, but none of them really excited me. Overall, the beats on the album are good. There's just something about it that doesn't give me the feeling that "Beg for Mercy" did.

I'm sure most G-Unit fans out there will want to kill me for this review, but I am a big G-Unit fan myself. 50's early stuff, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo are all damn good rappers on their own. However, with this much time in between albums, I thought the group could've done a better job at making some great tracks, not some weak ones.

*Update: after further listening, I would probably have rated it 3 stars, but my review stays the same. I still think the strongest parts of the album are Banks and Yayo. The beats are (mostly) good. They just don't put it all together like I expected them to.
