08/03/07 - Album Review: Keith Murray - Rap-Murr-Phobia



Walk Up (Intro) feat. Tone Capone
This is the intro to the track, where some guys walkd up to Keith Murrys door and knocks on it. He opens the door blasting and says. "Remember me from 98 Mutha Fucka!" Thats it and the CD starts. Interesting Intro.

Da Fuckery
Every rapper needs a hard intro song proclaiming who they are and how they be. Thats what this is. Keith doesn`t flow well over the average beat with his average lyrics. Its not that bad but its not somethin you gon wanna come back and listen too.

Beat: 3/5
Verses: 3/5
Hook: 2/5
Flow: 2/5
Replay: No

Weeble Wobble

The name makes you not wanna listen to the track in fear its a snap track, however its just a weed track where he talks about the various things he does such as smokin. He picks up the lyrics a bit in quality as the song goes on but its not that good, I like how he puts hit words together but its still average bullshit.

Beat: 2/5
Verses: 3/5
Hook: 2/5
Flow: 2/5
Replay: Nah

Don`t Fuck Wit Em'
Keith gets more conscious on this track than the others and the lyrics are pretty good even though the flow isn`t that good. He raps about how ya closest friends will turn on you and how you gotta peep out ya friends. His advice is just don`t fuck with em. Even though i like the concept and the lyrics its not somethin I`d come back for.

Beat: 2/5
Verses: 4/5
Hook: 2/5
Flow: 2/5
Replay: Nah

I Love It When It Rains (Skit)
This is a skit with Keith and the boys on the block admiring the rain, then something happens. Nice skit.

U Ain`t Nobody feat. Redman & Erik Sermon

On this track the three artist bring out their lyrical abilities talking about their hoods, how hard they are and how you ain`t no body to them. Erik Sermon starts off the track with some good lyrics, Keith follows up just as well with Redman bringing the best verse. This is a real nice head rockin track.

Beat: 2/5
Verse---
Erik Sermon: 4/5
Keith: 4/5
Redman: 5/5
Hook: 2/5
Replay: Yea

Do

This is a real good track where Keith goes into how he got his money and his daily life from kid to adult in the hood. This is the first track you`ll really like for the track itself as the beat, lyrics and finally the flow is matching the beat instead of him just rappin randomly. You`ll like this track cause its from the heart.

Beat: 4/5
Verses: 5/5
Hook: 3/5
Flow: 3/5
Replay: Yes

No Body Do It Better feat. Tyrese & Junior

Right here you got a bragging track, but its a good one. He talks about his past accomplishments and how he`s better than people. His word play and punchlines on here is also really good oh and Tyrese provides a good hook as well as Erik Sermon providing a good beat. I get more draws than a dresser... get it you put draws in a dresser and the dresser got draws... aahhh yea you get it.

Beat: 4/5
Verses: 5/5
Hook: 4/5
Flow: 4/5
Replay: Most def

Hustle On

Momman wasn`t rich, daddy was poor, guess I gotta get my hustle on. Oh here he raps about hos he was forced to hustle and what happened once he got into the game. This is a 'real' track right here and he provides a good image for his story over a regee like beat. However I still feel he coulda put more energy into his verses to make you wanna hear it again.

Beat: 3/5
Verses: 4/5
Hook: 2/5
Flow: 3/5
Replay: Depends on the person

Whatmakeanithinkdat feat. Lil Jamal

Someone didn`t hit space on the keyboard anyway, don`t push me, thats what kind of track this is. I`m not a killer but don`t fuck with me is what this track is all about. Keith provides very good lyrics about the gettin pushed situation but the other guy dosen`t do very good. Again he provides nice lyrics but his flow makes you not wanna lyrics to the track.

Beat: 3/5
Verses---
Keith: 4/5
Lil Jamal: 2/5
Hook: 2/5
Flows: 3/5
Replay: Depends on the person

What It Is feat. Method Man & 50 Grand

This is just an ignorant track about what it is they are doing and how they do it. Just random lyrics old school style. This is a real good track cause the exchange verses and lines, Method Man kills the track along with Keith and the 50 Grand guy does okay. This got a real throw back feel to it with the production and rhymes, fans of classic rap will love it.

Beat: 3/5
Veses --
Keith: 4/5
50 Grand: 3/5
Method Man: 5/5
Hook: 2/5
Replay: Yea

We Ridin feat. L.O.D.
This is just another ingorant track about how tough Keith and his crew are, but its real dope as they are lyrical real lyrical on here. " What you say about my crew? Oh Nigga i though so/ I`mma Sagittarius yo I work with the cross bow". Another old school feel here as well with all the rapper. Reminds me of Wu-Tang.

Beat: 3/5
Verses: 4/5
Hook: 2/5
Flows: 3/5
Replay: Yuh

Da Beef Murry Show (Skit) feat. Taya and Baggy Bones
This a real interesting track where he imitates Jerry Springer show, you`d think it`d be the Maurry show... anyway check it out.. cause you know you will.

Never Did Shit feat. Unique

This is just a track where Keith says what girls don`t do for him and where Unique says what men don`t do for her, both doin it with average lyrics. Thats really all, reminds me of Ain`t No Nigga from Reasonable Doubt.. even though they ain`t the same, you`ll see what I mean.

Beat: 2/5
Verses: 3/5
Hook: 2/5
Flows: 3/5
Replay: No

Something Like A Model feat. Junior
This is a girl song.. its kinda conscious but mostly its just sayin I love you and wanna be with you. Keith puts it on the ladies... but eh ya know its a girl song so I ain`t personally feeling it.

Beat: 3/5
Verses: 3/5
Hook (Junior): 3/5
Flow: 3/5
Replay: If your a girl

Late Night feat. L.O.D., Ming Bolla, Bosie & Ryze

Going back to the hood to kill someone and get revenge is what this track is about, Keith and the crew rhyme over here in a talking way as they all exchange lyrics about the code of the street and reienforcing it. This is a real violent track depicting the killing of one of their enemies very vividly. Its a nice track but the album could have ended with something a lil better.

Beat: 3/5
Verses: 3/5
Hook: 2/5
Flow: 2/5
Replay: Nah

Overall
The fear of real hip hop? Nah thats not what this is, this is actually a good CD but not the best CD. Keith goes into alot of aspects of his life but not in a way that would make you wanna go back and listen too it, mostly because his delivery is really bad at times and he repeats content on some tracks. He doesn`t really rap about much that would make you amazed but the word play and old school feel of some of the tracks are really more than I expected.

For those that havn`t heard any of his old stuff you`d think he was just another wack rapper trying to make it in the game but hes been here for awhile and he`s still got a lil heat left in him. Good job Keith... atleast for staying true.

Score: 3/5 - Average

Editor`s Note: Don`t just say propz, leave ya own views and opinions on the album. If you have an album of your own you want reviewed, send it to me.

Dont worry about him he's a fag he likes Veronica Mars nuff said. Thanks for the review I myself was pending on whether to give the album a shot and lmao I was wondering if a song Weeble Wobble would be worth my time too. Jw do you have reviews for old albums cause I just figured out reviews were going on in this section.

I might do T.I.`s but it ain`t that relevant anymore, neither is Fab n Buck. I do have the Common review up though. Sorry I`m gettin to you late on this.
