Detox - Dr. Dre: When will it be released?

When will Detox be released? If it ever will, then Detox might hold the record for most re-done album ever. Dr Dre actually said that he recorded over a 100 songs for the album, all of which have been cut. They didn't get cut because they were bad. They were... to tell you the truth, I have no idea why Dr Dre cut them.

Here are a few songs intended to be on Detox. Of course, this list is always growing so check back.

 Detox Tracks
1. I Need a Doctor ft. Eminem, Skylar Grey
Status: Cut from Album
I Need a Doctor is a great song. I have no idea why Dr Dre would cut it from Detox. Everything was there. The beat, lyrics, and a great video. Too bad it won't be on Detox.

2. Kush ft. Snoop Dogg, Akon
Status: Cut from Album
Kush is probably one of my top 3 Dr Dre songs of all time. And that's a big deal. I love the beat. Dre, Snoop, and Akon are all great on the track. Why would it be cut from Detox? Dre, what are you doing?

3. Under Pressure ft. Jay-Z
Status: Cut from Album
Just because it was leaked. A great song like this has been cut from Detox, just because it was leaked a little too early. This song is amazing, even in its unfinished, leaked, version. Stop being such a perfectionist Dr Dre.

4. The Psycho ft. Eminem, 50 cent
Status: Cut from Album
Now this song sucked. The Chorus and Beat are really good, but the rest was just horrible. Good thing it got cut, the song was really annoyning.

5.  Die Hard ft. Eminem
Status: ?
Hopefully Dre will keep this track. It's a good song, but nothing compared to Under Pressure, Kush, and I Need a Doctor. I like the Chorus/Hook.

The Martyr LP - Immortal Technique

The Martyr - Immortal Technique

It's not the Middle Passage, but it at least new content from Immortal Technique. It's just a LP, and it's available as a free digital download. The LP is composed previously unreleased and never before heard music from Immortal Technique. It was released on October 27th, 2011, and I recently had a chance to listen to all 16 tracks (13 full-length songs, 2 skits/interludes and even 1 speech).

The LP has a different feel to it compared to other Immortal Technique albums. It's less intellectual, but more high-powered and in your face. Kind of like Violence Begets Violence, the new Jedi Mind Tricks album. At first glance, you might think I just complimented the LP, but I'm not. I don't like where Immortal Technique is going with this. It sounds more average and 2nd-rate. And Immortal Technique's lyrics and more predictable and stale too. Maybe just because it's a LP, though. Hopefully Immortal's next album, The Middle Passage, will sound more like his earlier work.

In the entrie LP, only 2 songs were worth the download, Angels and Demons, and Toast to the Dead.

Angels and Demons is featuring Dead Prez and Bazaar Royale. It is produced by DJ Green Lantern (just like Immortal's last album, the 3rd World). It has a slow and calm tempo, a great chorus ( a sample from I don't know where), and good lyrics.

Toast to the Dead is great too. The beat is produced by the late producer, J Dilla. It also features DJ Green Lantern which produces the chorus with a buch of samples. Toast to the Dead is also really calm and chill. A really good song.

Also, track 16, Sign of the Times is really good too. The lyrics are great, but for whatever reason the drums really annoyed me. If it had a different producer, it could have been far better.

The rest of the LP is uneventful and boring, except the song called Rich Man's World (1%). In the song, it seems like Immortal Technique baically contradicted all of his previous 3 albums. I really didn't like the song.

Overall, the LP, The Martyr, is alright. It's just an LP, so 3 good songs is excusable. But Immortal Technique's next album, the Middle Passage, better be a 1000x better.

Free Music online - Dirpy

 Before I began using http://www.clipconverter.cc/ and http://www.youtube-mp3.org/, I was using http://www.dirpy.com/. And for whatever reason, they shut it down. So, after a long time off-line, Dirpy is now available again. From what I remember when I last used it, little has changed. But it still is a great website. Another website that gives you Free Music Online. The only main disadvantage that Dirpy has to Clip Converter is that it has less file formats available for download (MP3, MP4, FLV). Clip Converter is probably the best website in that category, with 12 different formats.

Violence Begets Violence - Jedi Mind Tricks

I am really looking forward to Jedi Mind Trick's new album, Violence Begets Violence. But it might sound completely different from their previous works. For the first, Vinne Paz and Jus Allah will be without Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind on Jedi Mind Tricks. In my opinion, the beats that Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind produced were the best part of most Jedi Mind Trick songs (not Vinnie Paz's rapping). JMT released their first single from Violence begets Violence, called Target Practice. I already heard it and thought it sounded great. The beat was still A-grade, even with out Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. But to recraete his skill, JMT needed to use at least 6 or 7 new producers. That just shows how valuable Stoupe is. Violence Begets Violence is set to drop on October 25th 2011. Support Vinnie Paz, Jus Allah, and Jedi Mind Tricks by bying Violence Begets Violence!

I have provided a video from youtube of Target Practice, the lead single from JMT's new 2011 album Violence Begets Violence. Please provide your opinions and leave a comment.

Fruity Loops Free Audio/Beat Maker Software

I found out about a new beat-making software. It's really detailed and it might take a while to learn, but when you figure it out it's great. It has a great piano roll and has a variety of sounds to chose from (which you can customize). It also has features which let you make your own synths, and it has drum pads too. It's a great software. But it cost money. So i found a free version on cnet downlaods. It's bascially the same thing, but you can't go back and change your loops. But you can save it as MP3 and WAV.

Here's the free download link for the demo version of Fruity Loops from cnet:

http://download.cnet.com/FL-Studio/3000-2170_4-10030774.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1d

(sorry about the color, I can't fix it for some reason)
It's definitely worth to download it.
Hope you enjoy it, leave a comment on what you think about it.

Here's a screen shot of the program and some of its features. It has synth makers, and many virtual instruments, like pianos and guitars. 

Red Album Review

 I didn't know what to expect from the Game's new album, the Red Album. But after listening to every song, I decided to write a pretty detailed review all of the 19 tracks (including bonus tracks, but excluding the skits). I will also provide a ranking out of a 100 (remember, this is my opinion, you might love the song I hate and vice versa) Here's what I think about it:

Red Nation - This is probably the best song on the album. With a sample from Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation, this song has a more electronic feel to it, but it still keeps the feel of a real, early 2000’s hip-hop song. The Game does really good lyrically too. The line that stands out the most is,” Niggas'll trade they soul to be Drake or J. Cole. Live and die for this shit, word to Tupac Shakur's halo”. That’s the Game I know from the Documentary and the Doctor’s Advocate.  Also, Lil’ Wayne’s part was pretty good too. It was smart that he only sang the chorus. (Lil’ Wayne almost always messes up a good song when he’s given a full verse). Excellent song. 87/100

The City - This song has been getting a lot of deserved hype. Also, this should put up-and-coming Compton rapper, Kendrick Lamar. Both the Game and Kendrick Lamar do their thing lyrically and the beat is spectacular. Kendrick Lamar also does really good on the chorus. Amazing song. 84/100

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly - I love the beat on this song. It immediately sets the mood for the song. The Game also raps to perfection. Good flow, great lyrics, pretty much what we expect from the Game. There is only one problem, it finishes to early at about 2 and a half minutes. 78/100

Mama Knows - Another amazing beat. Every artist needs a song honoring their Mom, and this is one of the better ones. It has a little more of a sad, regretful vibe to it, but it is still kind of uplifting in a weird way. The Red Album is shaping up to be a great piece of work. 79/100

Pot of Gold - Chris Brown does really good work on the chorus, and the Game has some good lyrics too. But I felt that there was too much Chris Brown, and too little of the Game. The song is also surprisingly easy-listening and less hard-hitting compared to most of the Game’s other songs. Great song. 80/100

Speakers on Blast - The first line sums it all up : It's not usual, the Game be, all up on some South shit." You immediately feel the heavy-hitting bass you usually find on Bay Area and Southern songs. And who better to have featured than E-40 and Big Boi. This is the perfect song to blast while cruising in a car. 78/100

Drug Test - This is the ultimate West Coast reunion, with The Game, Dr Dre, and even Snoop Dogg on the song. But "Drug Test" falls really short. You would expect more, but it just doesn't deliver. It's still an okay song though. 64/100

Ricky - This song hits you at once. It includes a sample from Boyz n the Hood, and that saxophone is excellent. The song has an unusual free-flowing format, but it sounds great. Great song. 74/100

Heavy Artillery -In my opinion, Rick Ross is one of the most overrated rappers nowadays. Great beat, but for some reason it gets pretty annoying after a while. The song is pretty stale, but it has some good points. 60/100

Paramedics - Young Jeezy  is a pretty annoying rapper (at least that's my opinion). The song could of been good, but it feels as if half of the lyrics was mumbled. When The Game comes on, he breathes some life into it, but it's too little too late. Could have achieved more. 64/100

Hello - The song features Lloyd, who sings the hooks and provides some background vocals. But he has an extremely high pitched voice which can get really annoying, really fast. Other than that, the song was average. 54/100

All the Way Gone - The R.E.D. Album has too much love songs. But at least the song is pretty good. The song features Mario, who does a really good job on the hook, and Wale, who is alright. All in all, it's a pretty good song. 67/100

Keep checking back, I'm not yet finished with the review.
