Fiddy

50 Cent War Angel LP


I'm not a Fiddy fan, he offends me in general... hence why this post is so late as I had to be sure I was ready to expose my eardrums to it but this is more than tolerable... I don't abhor it, I think I actually might venture to say I like it.

I was expecting expensive sounding showy off mahusive bassy beats, the over blinged backdrop to him being an egotistical gun wielding prick (not forgetting to throw in the occasional thick thighed girl). but War Angel is actually not overwhelmingly irritating and there appears to be an effort to reinstate in our minds that the man at one point did have lyrical flow and didn't always regurgitate repetitive questionable and soul destroying content. Get a bit of the fat kid loves cake humour with his interesting British accent in London Girl... amusing, makes for an easy to listen to LP.

Seems to have gone for dissatisfied older wiser rapper not impressed with current state of hip hop in C.R.E.A.M. he slates the skinny jeans and mohawk heads kinda like they're all to blame... and not at all anything to do with the guns, bitches and bling bullshit he often passes off as 'new' content.

Thought provoking? no it is not but definitely quite a few tracks you won't help but naturally gravitate to as the music and his flow culminate and form a classic time... Cocaine Feat Robin Thicke is just a pure and simple good time, C.R.E.A.M. is another track to look out for and the cheesy but entertaining London Girl don't know whether it's to do with the gashley he has in it to splurt out stuff about his penis in our great accent but I'm feeling it. The only problem I'm finding with this album is the more I listen to it, the more I like it so I find myself randomly saying shit like "Redrum redrum one sugar ten shots one gun" damn you Fiddy with your non amazing yet surprisingly catchy and dare I say 'class' lil LP.

6/10
