Brotha Lynch Hung - The Virus album review
The Virus album is a more darker Brotha Lynch Hung album from a time when his career was twisting into a downward spiral. Brotha Lynch Hung was involved in the Kevin Mann vs. Black Market Records lawsuit in 2000 because he though Ced Singleton was misleading him by lack of compensation, breach of contract, financial mismanagement, and music business politics at the time. He wanted to get away from the legal drama and create his Siccmade/Madesicc label. Ced composed an album of Brotha Lynch Hung tracks from other projects without his consent resulting in The Virus album in 2001. Ced did this because he though Brotha Lynch Hung was was taking too long to compose and release albums. The Virus is almost comparably dark, foreboding, and brooding as the Season of Da Siccness album was.
The Virus album was regarded as a "cut and paste" bootleg album composed by Cedric Singleton for Black Market Records, The Virus album is actually a legit retail album in the BMR music catalogue despite what fans and Brotha Lynch Hung say. Some of the tracks on this album such as Never Rode With Me, Gotta Die Soon, One Of Us, and Lay Low appear on other albums Brotha Lynch Hung contributed to which is why fans regards the Virus as a bootleg album. The Virus is almost comparably dark, foreboding, and brooding as the Season of Da Siccness album was.
Brotha Lynch Hung's raps on are at average on this album rather than his Siccmade/Madesicc ripgut cannabalism rap style he is reputedly known for by his hardcore fans inside his cult following with his legion of fans. The lyrical delivery of his is not the same on this album as it was on other albums in his music catalogue similar to Loaded, Lynch By Inch, MannibalLector, Season of Da Siccness, and 24 Deep. His raps are not the best on this album. Some of the tracks on this album such as Never Rode With Me, Gotta Die Soon, One Of Us, and Lay Low appear on other albums Brotha Lynch Hung contributed to which is why fans regards the Virus as a bootleg album.
The production aspect on this album was overshadowed by the lyrical content for this album. Production quality and sound quality were rather low on some tracks than usual. Sound quality and production quality is rather low similar to the EBK4 album from 2000. Some tracks are rough draft demos such as Chico, One Of Us, I'm Like, Sicc & High, Lay Low, and of course the bonus track which is a Siccmade/Madesicc freestyle. The production aspect is probably why fans overlooked this album in its prime.
While The Virus album may not have been highly acclaimed, favored, or recommended by fans, The Virus album was very overlooked in its prime time of release. Many fans looked at the production aspect of The Virus album rather than the lyrical content and entertainment aspect. While The Virus album was overshadowed and overlooked for its time, the album has some tracks worth listening to such as Never Rode With Me, One Of Us, Modern Crimes, Gotta Die Soon, and Lay Low. The Virus album does have its high points. The Virus album is an average Brotha Lynch Hung album at best which can be considered as your typical "run of the mill" Brotha Lynch Hung album.
At the very beginning of the album, Brotha Lynch Hung disses Black Market Records all over the track on an annoyingly repetitive catchy drum beat over this low quality production track called I'm Like. The track I'm Like is rather short. The track is too short to even enjoy.
Never Rode With Me is a track that came off the 2006 Greedy soundtrack for the Black Market Films movie called Greedy which came out in 2006. Brotha Lynch Hung along with Siccmade/Madesicc labelmate COS and Loki diss Black Market Records all on the track. The sample used for this track is a slow sultry soul ballad called Come With Me by Teddy Pendergrass with the percussion sped up faster to an upbeat tempo. Never Rode With Me is the best track off The Virus album. You can feel a warped negative upbeat vibe when you listen to this track.
Gotta Die Soon seems to have been an outtake from the Loaded album. In the mindset of a serial killer, one of us has to die soon. In the eyes of a killer someone's gotta die soon. People have to die. No matter what death is inevitable. A killer has gone on a rampant killing spree killing people in sight. Most slayings by killings happen Die Soon is very similar to the brooding dark track Die 1 By 1 from the Loaded album from 1997.
Now Chico was a 3 minute freestyle. Siccmade/Madesicc labelmates Phonk Beta, Tallcan G, and Loki join in and each spit a verse. The production sound is low quality though. It's a Siccmade freestyle.
Mindset of One Of Us is one of us has gotta die soon. One Of Us seems to be a leftover from the Loaded album. One Of Us is very similar to Gotta Die Soon, Die 1 By 1, Did It and Did It, Raw Meat, Deep Down, and Naked Cheese. One Of Us is a rap track filled with horrorcore sounds and lurid details.
3/5***

Brotha Lynch Hung - The Best of Brotha Lynch Hung album review
Brotha Lynch Hung - The Best of Brotha Lynch Hung is a “best of” album that served as the 40 oz anthology of his career back in 2001. Ced Singleton composed an album of Brotha Lynch Hung tracks from other projects to create a “best of” album. The Virus album was regarded as a "cut and paste" bootleg album composed by Cedric Singleton for Black Market Records. Brotha Lynch Hung - The Best of Brotha Lynch Hung is actually a legit retail album in the BMR music catalogue despite what fans and Brotha Lynch Hung say. This album is a must have if you are a completionist.
Brotha Lynch Hung raps using his Siccmade/Madesicc ripgut cannabalism rap style he is reputedly known for by his hardcore fans inside his cult following with his legion of fans. The lyrical delivery of his is insane. Still Brotha Lynch Hung manages to keep this album Siccmade with his siccness and horrorcore ripgut cannibalism style of rap.
24 Gone was basically a remix and continuation of 24 Deep but is more influenced by funk hence the heavy funk element that is used. What’s unique about this song of his is that he uses a Jamaican Patois accent on certain parts of his verses to the song. The song must have been recorded around 1994 given the sound quality and style. Brotha Lynch Hung raps using his Siccmade/Madesicc ripgut cannabalism rap style he is reputedly known for. He raps about slaughtering and murdering people.
Yeah, the nigga from the deuce is back and it's on. The deuce is 24th Street located in the Florin Gardens neighborhood of Sacramento, California. 24 gone. It's that nigga that went all the way nuts and spent his time after the 24 Deep EP rippin' up guts. And now he’s back. He has converted to straight slaughtering up people. The nigga that got the rep for eatin' them fried nigga nut. Lynch loads up his nine millimeter (.9mm) real fast to hang them spine and them liver guts up out that ass. Lynch has got the bomb niggas that'll back him up. And in his palm he has a nine millimeter that'll feed his gut. No matter what.
Lynch keeps packin' because everybody gotta die. Plenty of niggas in the city of Sac keep trippin'. Lynch told them motherfuckers he’s too old for Crippin'. But he is still proving he is down when his nine starts clicking. He ain't bullshittin'. Leave a cannibal nigga alone unless you wanna deal with a chrome. 25 years of living dead already and it's still on. Yeah, 24 gone. I thought it was known.
Once again out the motherfuckin' cut. It's the bomb. And now it's on to the full and his chromes on full. Lynch never knew true love until he saw brains leaking because of a .38 slug He had to get that nine millimeter. Something' that'll move a nigga back a centimeter. You know it just don't quit.
These lyrics explained how Lynch never knew true love until he saw brains leaking because of a .38 slug. “I never knew true love/Until I saw brains leakin' 'cause of a thirty-eight slug/But uh, I had to get that nine millimeter/Somethin' that'll move a nigga back a centimeter” True horrorcore rap right here.
These are the parts of the song where Brotha Lynch Hung uses a Jamaican Patois accent.
[Chorus]
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
So come twist one up
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky?
Twist it
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
So come twist one up
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
Nigga, twist it
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
So come twist one up
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky?
Twist it
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
So come twist one up
It's the nigga that got the bomb funky
The young nigga that got the bomb funky
So come twist one up
What me talk about, me load my nine real fast
And hang them spine and them liver guts up out that ass
I ain't gon' stop
When I'm in the block me go pizatt wizitabit pop pop pop
Is it that nigga that got that bomb funky?
So come twist one up
Me talk me 'bout me nine millimeter meter fuckin' that butt
Me sticka me nine in pussy, B-A-B-Y K-I-double L-I-N-G
On My Briefcase sounded like a leftover from Season Of Da Siccness or a B-Sides album with songs recorded when Season Of Da Siccness was being produced.
That is because some of the lyrics used in this song were used in other songs. Brotha Lynch incorporates the opening line from On My Briefcase from the Mr. Doctor’s song “40 Oz and Chronic Dice” from the Settripin’ Bloccstyle album. Compare the lyrics to both songs.
(Brotha Lynch Hung verse from Mr. Doctor - 40 Oz and Chronic Dice)
On my briefcase is some crumbled weed
Buckshot shells from a dead body
Got a whole bunch a 40's and a couple a hoes
A '95 Fifty sittin on Trues and Vogues
Plus I had a nine in my glove compartment
Cause everywhere I go niggas love to start shit
Five pound chronic dice, in my mits
Fifteen teflons, in my clip
Heard about a lot a sick shit in the block, so
I stay locc to the brain and remain incognito
With my twenty sack a the bomb
Money back guarantee, if you hit that shit and don't wanna kill yo' mom
Got the clip, Glock, Chevy Impala that don't stop
Stop the Glock, no you can't the Doc from the gangbang nigga
So up goes yo' trigga
Stayin high off the sinsemilla
And my nigga say
(Brotha Lynch Hung verse from On My Briefcase)
Now on my briefcase was some crumbled weed
A pack of Saravegas and a 24 ounce O.E
Might as well skeez these couple of hoes
In my 69 Malibu sitting on Trues and Vogues
For days you might have seen me in my cinnamon cut chrome shoes
With some you-can't-see-me tint on the windows indo syndrome
Smokin' it up, not givin' a mutherfucking fizuck
Sold the cut, my ex-ho said "that nigga's sqattin' what?"
Got at the homie Carl, and got me some of that bomb
Had me so fucking high I got off like Vietnam
Dead bodies and bitches clits simmerin' in the crockpot
And the shit don't stop until my motherfucking chronic or high drop
It's just that insane type of thing, let the MAC rain
Guts in the drain
Siccmade niggas, they make the world go round
And if you fuck with Siccmade Music you can get your ass gunned down
4/5****!

Teflon Don - Greatest Hits album review
Teflon Don - Greatest Hits is one of the most overlooked Memphis rap albums of 2018. His lyrics have actual meaning and truth behind them. He gets deep and political on this album with sons such as Black History, God The Government The Game, Lets Get It, and Lets Talk About. He showcases his awareness of his musical roots of Memphis on songs such as Memphis Blues, Memphis Grizzlies, and Lets Get It. The album uses that crunk Memphis sound and pays tribute to the Memphis sound in terms of rapping, style, delivery, and production.
Lets Talk About is a touchy conscious rap song with deals with the subjects of politics, racism, sex, and crime. This is one of his woke songs. He calls out all the politicians who be lying by saying, “Let’s talk about all the politicians who be lying.” and “Let’s talk about all the black people that they hated.” He talks about how people of color are treated poorly by the US government. Sit back relax and listen while Teflon Don teaches you (and us) knowledge.
The US government exposed saw people of color succeeding in life. For a minute the US government froze people of color. We fail to realize that the government is breaking all of the rules and laws they passed and enacted on. That is what these woke and conscious lyrics mean “We fail to realize that they breaking all of the rules”. They lift you up and tear you down.
We are confused by the television, radio, and gossip. The media is fiction. They lift you up and tear you down. It’s time to change the world. It’s time to think positive. It’s time to get these kids to study so they can get scholarships.
These are the most woke and conscious lyrics to the song. These lyrics are both politically and socially conscious.
The government exposed us
They saw us succeeding in life
For a minute they froze us
Fuck it we some soldiers
Rehabilitated but soon as we doing good
Uncle Sam gotta take it the government
The devil they took prayer out of schools
We fail to realize that they breaking all of the rules
We confused by the television, radio, and gossip
Sit back relax and listen while I'm teach you knowledge
Take your ass to college last choice the army
Whatever it takes for you to dominate the market
Play the fucking game learn from caucasians
Everyday I'm hustling for love and salvation
I teach my brother facts the media is fiction
They lift you up and tear you down
Picture this vision Michael Jackson R Kelly
OJ Simpson Kobe Bryant
They prime examples to the media subscription
It’s time to change the world
It’s time to think positive
Its time to get these kids to study so they can get scholarships
Don't tell me how I oughta feel
Our race is looking sad
Everybody growing up and they loving just to sagg
I ain't tryna sound perfect I'm just keeping it real
The crime rate is up and people's getting killed
No excuses for the lost souls
I'm searching for some hope
Lost a homie in the game
Black History is a politically and socially conscious rap song about black history in the United States of America made by people of color. This is another one of his woke songs. He talks about how people of color are treated poorly by the US government. Black history is American history is something the US government doesn't teach us. The US government doesn't teach us about our people. Sit back relax and listen while Teflon Don teaches you (and us) knowledge.
Teflon Don talks about how people of color were and still are treated poorly by the US government with these lyrics. “Before the Civil War, every race had slaves/Blacks were treated worst, I take this to my grave” Before the Civil War, every race had slaves. Black people (people of color) were treated the worst prior to Civil War.
People of color still have to live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred. This world is still racist. They just play the game. Teflon Don explains how people of color still have to live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred because this world is still racist in these lyrics, “Live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred/This world is still racist/They just play the game/See it in their eyes”
The US government has assassinated black leaders, they never found our weakness. Kidnapped them from their home land by forcing them to become slaves. Forgive them all but don't forget the past. History repeats itself. The bible teaches you that. We need to love each other and understand another.
These are the most woke and conscious lyrics to the song. These lyrics are both politically and socially conscious.
First chapter black history motivational speaker
American History don't teach us about our people
So I'm go'n have to teach ya
Knowledge yeah I feed ya
Cut the speakers up so we can play follow the leader
Before the Civil War, every race had slaves
Blacks were treated worst, I take this to my grave
God, Government, Game, 3 G's baby
Live, learn, adapt, and overcome all the hatred
This world is still racist, they just play the game
See it in their eyes, you can't fool me mane
I love white folks, I love black folks
I love all folks, Obama gave the world some hope
Young rappers come see what I see uh
The record companies make you downgrade your own people
Talk about dope, get played all day
Assassinated our leaders, they never found our weakness
Kidnapped us from the land, made us serve white Jesus
I forgive them all, but don't forget the past
History repeats itself, the bible teach you that
Define the word black, and its all bad
Define the word white, now that will make you mad
Black history black history please speak to me
Provide me with the word to teach a whole industry
One penny, one channel
B.E.T one month, February my pain and suffering no stunt
We need to love each other understand another
One white, one black, equals two brothers
One hater, 2 haters, equals dead busters
Let us build up the country, don't let it crumble
Take the ball and run it, try not to fumble
You obtained knowledge, now remain humble

Memphis Grizzlies is a song dedicated to the professional basketball team Memphis Grizzlies. The song shows the sport side of Memphis, Tennessee along with Teflon Don.
Memphis, Tennessee is on the map for those that don't know and don't nobody represent Memphis too often. Memphis, Tennessee isn’t just known for its music, food, and crime. Memphis is also home of the Memphis Grizzlies which is a basketball team. Coach Hollins put Memphis Grizzlies in the game. Watch them win it. That’s the business.
The Memphis Grizzlies are on fire and going hard. They force their opponents to retire. Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and OJ Mayo got the crowd saying, “There he go!” as they dribble the ball down the court. Watch them shoot another 3-pointer from half time. Allen Iverson left but they are still the truth.
5/5*****!
