5.0 out of 5 stars a diamond in the rough album May 2, 2012

I don't really write reviews but I saw nothing had been written about this hidden gem of an album. I have been a moderate fan of both of these guys but this is something special. The one man produces/one man raps team on this album is outstanding. There is an unbelievable chemistry at work between the two. The first time I listened through I was getting flashes of Gangstarr in my head(RIP Guru). And every listen from there on in gets even better. You won't want to skip one second of one track, it is a cohesive unit and demands to be listened to as such. A masterpiece in the truest sense. The best way to describe this album without writing an essay about it is this IS hip-hop in the year 2012. If you were to look up the word in a dictionary you should see a picture of this album. If you are a so called "hip-hop" listener these days and you don't like this album then I am truly sorry, but all hope has been lost for you. Thank you OC and Apollo for making real music for real people.

P.S. Extra props for putting out an album with no guest features! When do you ever see that anymore?

5.0 out of 5 stars Trophies indeed! May 10, 2012

I was highly anticipating this album once I saw an interview with OC & Apollo brown talking about their new album back in april. I can say I didn't doubt OC 1 bit because hes got 1 of the best & most consistent catalogs in hip hop with only bon apetite being his only below average album but even that wasn't all wack. This albums is classic from start to finish. I haven't really heard alot of apollo's production but I have to say that his beats go well with OC's style. Hes like a modern day premo hopefully he'll become more known. There are no guest apperances on here not 1 just OC lacing every track with his dope lyrics & another thing I have to add is OC is 1 mc who despite how long hes been around (since 1991) hasn't fallen off 1 bit lyrically in fact hes as sharp as ever here. Every track is also a concept of some sort & some with OC's storytelling. In my opinion this album is up there with his first 2 word life & jewelz in production & lyrics so with that said support real hip hop & go out & get this "trophie" you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIRST CLASSIC I HEARD IN A WHILE May 8, 2012

I was waiting a long time to hear a album that is good from beginning to end and OC & Apollo Brown came to save the day with Trophies. No filler tracks, no features, and no skits or interludes just pure dee hip hop. Apollo Brown's production really compliments OC's flow and vice versa. A classic in the making hopefully yall people are listening.
