Boston's super mc Ed O. G returns with "Truth Hurts" and gives us some of that flavor hip-hop has been missing. Ed O.G. is back, doing it with this one. Check out "Saying Something" & "What U Know".

Botson MC Edo.G always approaches the mic with a purpose. With delivery smooth, hooks simple and straightforward, the G infiltrates our mental with warnings and reflections, sometimes suggestions on everything from gettin' cash, love and relationships, childeren, and what it takes to remain true to the art form Edo obviously loves, Hip-Hop. With production by DJ Spinna, Pete Rock, Nottz, and the track one banger by DJ Premier, The Truth Hurts comes off both hard and melodic, sometimes mellow, but never weak. The production and lyrics do seem run-of-the-mill at times, even half-baked to say the least, but give props to Edo.G for using no B.S. skits as fillers, making for a complete album in the Boston format. As a whole this album reminds me of O.C.'s classic yet underrated LP, Word...Life. Another spot to hear Edo.G in prime lyrical action is the Beats and Lyrics compilation on a track titled "I Feel You", produced by DJ EQ. Enjoy. Peace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Top Quality Hip Hop, April 6, 2006

This review is from: Truth Hurts (Audio CD)

First let me say that the reviews by "tim", "otg", and "fatha" are moronic at best. I've had this album for, I believe over 3 years now and it still gets regular rotation. Mind you i have over 500 cd's to choose from in my collection. This is grass roots hiphop... beats (bangers and jazzy mellow joints), lyrics are crazy..see the other review on here with the quoted verse... and just look at the friggin album cover...Ed O G is no chicken head/laffy taffy rapper. Maybe from a producers standpoint approximately 3 of the beats are monotonous.. but still remind u of the golden age of hip hop...simple loops and raw introspective, street thug and street philosopher rolled into one album. ED O G is one of the only hip hop prophets left!!!
