Album Review
Spending five years on the shelf collecting dust, gruff and mush-mouthed rapper Black Rob returned with The Black Rob Report, a satisfying album even without a "Whoa." The sparse banger "Ready" is nearly as infectious as Black Rob's breakout hit, but like most of the album, it's more gutter than glitz, pleasingly more Black Rob than Bad Boy. Kudos to executive producer Sean "Diddy" Combs for giving the rapper the right kind of respect and support by enlisting complimentary producers (Mr. Porter, Scram Jones, and Buckwild) and saving the pop music samples for his glitzier artists. Smart move since Black Rob brings the label plenty of street cred, something that's been missing for — wouldn't you know it — the last five years. Even more genuine is that the album doesn't care about the five years that have past and Bad Boy drama, save for the tight sample of Biggie used in "Y'all Know Who Killed Him." "Star in da Hood" rolls along convincingly, "Watch Your Movements" is another successful Akon guest appearance, and "Warrior" is the best G-Unit track they haven't recorded. A little too long and slowed down by skits and interludes that are forgettable, The Black Rob Report still comes out on top courtesy of its freewheeling attitude, sharp beats, and charismatic rapper.
Customer Reviews
NO PROMO!!
HEY PUFF, WHERE"S THE PROMOTION? A hot album that no one's gonna know about! Best New York Album, EASY!
Black Rob Report: Buy It
First, I only reserve five starts for classics (The Cronic, The Low End Theory, Reasonable Doubt, etc). With that said, BR has delivered a great project to the masses. I highly recommend that you dl and listen to the Black Rob podcast interview on iTunes Street Official Real Talk. During which BR talks about his inspiration, the death of Biggie and life at Bad Boy not to mention his closing statement regarding Jay-Z. Afterwards you will not only appreciate the beats on Watch Your Movements and B.L.A.C.K. but also the true street vibe and flow on Ready, Star in Da Hood, B.R. and Warrior. It will take two listens before you get it but if this album and Kanye's are not on you iPod then you are not a Hip Hop fan. Hotep, RSZ
Black Rob's back with a report!
With hit single, "Whoa" Black Rob burst on the scene and went platinum with Life Story, with legal troubles, he finally releases his sophomore album, The Black Rob Report. They Heard I Got Life: Nice production, Rob tells it like it is. 3/5 Watch Your Movements: Another successful Akon appearance, hot track. 3.5/5 Star In Da Hood: Smooth production, Rob looks back on hood life. 3.5/5 She's A Pro: Average. 2.5/5 B.R.: New comer Cheri Dennis croons softly, with this rhyme and "BeeeRrrrr" song. 3/5 Ready: A banger that has a kiddy hook, the drums are rumbling and great, hot track. 4/5 B.L.A.C.K.: Hot production, feel good vibe, Rob does well. 3.5/5 When You Come Home: Uptempo and light, Rhea's hook is nice. 3/5 You Know What: Skipper. 2.5/5 Ya'll Know Who Killed Him: Biggie's sample is great with fitting production, good track. 4/5 Fire In Da Hole: Ness joins Rob on this fire filled track. 3/5 Smile In Ya Face: Production was good, nice track. 3.5/5 Warrior: Average with Cali Ranks. 3/5 Team: Young talent off Bad Boy helps with this pass the mic type track. 4/5 Help Me Out: Average. 2.5/5 Long Live B.R.: Good track to end the album. Storytelling shines. 4.5/5 Black Rob's second album is definitely nicely done. It's more street than glam, which is good and the bangers are worthy. Too bad mush mouthed Rob won't sell due to weak promotion. Rating 7.5 out of 10
