The Discussion on this subject has been going on for a few years now, and I feel that although Blac Haze has disturbingly similar pronunciation, and flow to Tupac.
BUT
Tupac was a lyricist, and Blac Haze unfortunately does not fit that description. Pac’s lyrics were much deeper and more artistic than Blac Haze’s lyrics. One very awkward aspect about Blac Haze is that the guy barely brings out Albums. The second album of his came out !!4 years!! after the first one. If someone is trying to get fame, wouldnt he put more emphasis in continuously bringing out stuff? Maybe time wil show us the truth, although at the moment I would rather count myself to the Disbelievers concerning this subject…

13. Thief’s Theme

This Album has written Hip Hop History with Songs like “The Makings of the Perfect Bitch” for example, which has been sampled and covered in pretty much every country of the world. The first reason to buy this is that it is a 2CD Album. Both Cds are filled with Nas-typical beats, flows and features. There were only two or three songs I didn’t like while listening to it the first time, and that was 3-4 years ago.

If you are thinking of any cheap album to invest in, definately consider Nas’s Street’s Deciple, it’s worth it in any case.

Pretty decent album from Crypt the Warchild’s small brother King Syze. There are definately some burner traks on here, but unfortunately some of the tracks aren’t really that great. King Syze sounds similar to Big Pun on this album, but doesn’t quite match the beat on single tracks. All in all though it is a pretty good album.

My Favorites: Play ya Part, That’s how you rap, And Now

If you liked Black Snow, you will definately like this too. This Album is a Mixtape of Black Snow, and German Lugers. Every Track has a modified Beat, as well as a new feature consisting of a german MC in most cases.

The German features definately deserve their spot on this album, and without them there would be something missing. Their Flows are extraodenairily good for them being german MCs, and All of them are on the same level as their US-counterpiece, and should not be underestimated.

The Beats also manage to sound even better than the original, and are typical snowgoon-beats: Melodic, unique, and catchy. This is not a “Must hear”, but if you have the time to, you should definately think about giving the german snow a try..

Personal Favorites: Ride On, Nuthin you say, Starlight, A.O.T.P., and Riddle of the Sphinx

All in All the Snowgoons achieve to maintain their Upperclass Level of Hip Hop very well. They still produce quality beats and Tracks. I personally liked other Albums of theirs more, especially Black Snow and German Snow. With alot of features, this album has the same artistic quality as mixtapes from the 90′s.

You should definately listen into this album, even if some tracks disappoint a little, due to non-sufficiant flows, but as far as the beats and production of the featured tracks go, the goons keep going at it!

Personal Favorites: King Kong, Full Force, Make Way, and Goon’s Stampede

My Rating: 4 / 5

Is this seriously a diss against AOTP or is everyone missunderstanding something here?
