MF Grimm - American Hunger Review {CF Publishing}

MF Grimm - American Hunger

MF Grimm has been shot more times than 50 Cent, this clearly makes him a better rapper, right ? Well yes he is, but he doesnt need that statistic to make it so.MF Grimm has been around since 1992 and penned a lot of the lyrics for Dr. Dre's The Chronic, so like it or not, the majority of you have already had the chance to experience some Grimm lyrics. Shot 11 times and left in a wheelchair Grimm has seen it all, giving him perfect backdrop to be a gangsta rapper, some one who could rap his life story on every song and blow up big, but he resists temptation and doesnt sell out.

Roll on 2006. After spending 3 years in prison Grimm had a weatlh of material written, the result of this being the 60 track musical odyssey spanning 3 discs - American Hunger. As you can tell from the album artwork and title, Grimm is not afraid to cause controversy and he does so on many occasions over the course of the politically charged album making his feelings on everything from the treatment of blacks to the war in Iraq very clear from the outset (as early as the very first track in which he refers to America as 'the belly of the beast). Due to this lyrical onslaught of the American goverment on numerous track you are sucked in and will find yourself analysing each track in detail to hear if there is more of the same, and believe me there is.

Grimm also has the backing of his crew M.I.C throughout the album as well as guest apperances by highly rated artists ranging from Block McCloud of Brooklyn Academy (signed to DayByDay), Ill Bill and Large Professor. All this superb lyricsm and flow paired with steller production makes for a very enjoyable experience even if it can be tough enough to fight through all 60 tracks in one sitting.

So, a 60 track album with little or no filler, dope guest spots and very well crafted beats, what more could you ask for in a release in this day in age ? Its a new generation album created by an old school grandmaster who isnt afraid to say what he thinks, believe me, Mad Flows Grimm is NOT one that would beat around the Bush. Check this album out, its well worth it and i can promise you that with every listen it will grow on you more and more and with 60 tracks there is bound to be something on there for everyone. This is not just a hip-hop album, its more like a musical journey through so many different sounds and styles, one for any music fan, not just any hip-hop fan.

ILLogic · 01-05-2007, 06:47 PM

The dope ones. I don't hate Brother Ali that much, SOTS was decent, but the rest of his shit plus rhymesavers is whack as shit. and grimm is weak, and madly overrated.

Rebel INS {CF} · 01-05-2007, 06:52 PM

Really he is? everyone knows who Big L is? all the radio stations play his shit? No, so how the fuck is he overated?

Shyne · 01-05-2007, 08:21 PM

L's skill is overrated by just about everyone who knows who he is, he's dope but not even close to top 10 of all time.

His punchline skill was amazing, even genius, you can't deny that. He is at least a 10 on a top ten list. He is my personal favorite, so yeah, I'ma have him as 1, but you have to admit he is the punchline king and he is a minium of 10 on a top ten list

Shyne · 01-05-2007, 08:41 PM

punchline king maybe, it would most likely be him or Chino in my book, he also told amazingly detailed storys. But other then his punchlines he was kinda shallow, he was either flipping a punchline or talking bout his ho’s, it got old after a while.

[CC]Ratify[CC] · 01-05-2007, 08:53 PM

Chino wasnt on ILLogic's 50 Rappers Better Than Lupe. . .
