Eminem's album Infinite is being re-released on the 2nd of November.

As far as I know, and I'm open to correction, this is the first time it's been released in cd format.

It was floating around on 50 Cent's site last year but it'll be good to get a hard copy of it

horsebox09 · 28-10-2009 9:51pm

There are a few nice moments on Infinite, but it's quite raw. Lets hope there's a little remastering done to tidy up the sound.

I think there where like 2000 copies initially pressed on CD, could be wrong

Yea I think it was around that number alright.

I'm surprised it's taken so long for it to be released again really

I'm pretty sure it's because his style is nothing like what made him popular and people most likely wont recognise him

The whole of Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez is being streamed on the Felt myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/mursandslug

EDIT: Just finished listening to it and think it's really good. Totally different sound to the first 2, doesnt really have that west coast bounce to it that the others had. Going to dive in for a second listen now.

Orizio · 13-11-2009 12:48pm

The new Cunninlynguists is their best work since A Piece Of Strange.

horsebox09 · 13-11-2009 4:54pm

Rakims new album is out there.....

Souls of Mischief have a new album coming out in December, full Prince Paul production, RapReviewers gave it 9/10 ( 9.5/10 for beats ) should be good!

Looking forward to this. Felt 2 is one of my favourite albums of all time. Really hope this lives up to that standard (or comes somewhat near)

New Rakim is available.

i've mixed feelings on this. Rakim is on point, no doubting that. The choice of hooks and beats has been a bit of a let down. But, i'll defo go back in for another listen.

As for Gift of Gabs album, i was also a bit let down by this although i think it is better than 4th Dimension.....but nowhere near any Blackalicious records.

Blockheads album is great, very suprised at how good it is.

just listened to this, brilliant album. I got my hands on the delux edition which includes the intrumentals. The instumental album alone would challenge other instrumentals released in the past couple of years.

horsebox09 · 17-11-2009 11:42pm

New Ras Kass album? Hope its good, when hes on form he's a beast!

Snippets of the new Clipse album if anyones interested

some of this is impresive, really like the sound of popular demand, but there a few there dont dont really grab me. Champion and Footsteps are examples of ones i dont dig.

Orizio · 21-11-2009 2:09am

New BlakRoc and O.C. & A.G. out and about.

I saw a review for this on xxl.com. It got a good right up - 4 out of 5. It might be a bit closer to lord willin than he'll hath no fury, but both were classics in my book so I'll take it (although he'll hath was clearly their best work)

New Wu track off the Wu Massacre, Meth vs Chef pt.2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvlfyoPl68&feature=player_embedded

Track is a banging imo! Don't think its finished though, but good to hear some new Wu stuff!

horsebox09 · 29-11-2009 2:44am

New Clipse album is out there, 'bout to give it a spin!

After my 1st listen I think this is a solid album, its definetly their most mainstream album though

Starts out great, first 3 tracks are all bangers imo, but ''showing out'' is ruined by a terrible beat ( reminds me of cukoo off the slaughterhouse album) the verses are really good though

The last 2 tracks are great aswell, but the album does kind of falter around the edges, mostly because of the beats or because some of the tracks having more singing on them than rapping, they weren't skippable, but could have been better

I'll give this a few more listens, at the moment ''popular demand'' is on repeat, so maybe some of the tracks im not feeling will grow on me, but I enjoyed the album on first listen!

BLITZ_Molloy · 29-11-2009 2:19pm

Woo! I ****ing love Clipse, and Neptunes production. Must go hunting.

ghostface ste · 10-12-2009 1:49pm
