The CD is great but like that guy said above, there is too much treble or somethin on the actual CD. I even thought I had a bad version of the Cd so I bougth another elsewhere and it still sounds weird. It’s real annoyin actually cause when you download the songs individually off amazon they sound great. Anyone else have this prob?

Yeah anyone else have the actual CD? I downloaded ‘shake this’ off of amazon and it sounds great and then when the CD came out it sounds like theres way too much treble definitely. I thought I had a bad version of it so I bought another elsewhere and yeah it’s still the same… it’s weird cause if you download the songs individually off amazon they sound great. Anyone else notice this?

Can’t even compare this to D.I.C. Lyrically, Royce is at the top of his game. As stated, it would have been nice to see Premo contribute more but, this album here proved that without question Royce is possibly the illest MC in the game presently. You add this to his bar exam mixtapes and you have an MC who has been on a rampage. Seriously, I don’t think there is a better MC right now.

I thought this one was 4.5 cigs. Definitely one of the best albums this year if not THEEEE best. This one will definitely be tough to beat.
===============================================
Easily among the best albums of 09. It nearly edges out the Slaughterhouse album for me.

i’m going hands down best album of 09… that includes the horribly arranged BP3, the surprisingly tame Relapse, solid Blackout 2, and the few other B-List releases this year worth actually listening to. If for nothing elese its drastically different than all the other garbage rolling out of the industry these days – and deserves respect on that alone. buuut then again, i’m into lyrical & experimental stuff… and you dont hear too much of that these days (btw: techn9ne was a fun listen too)

Nice write up. I really don’t think the album lives up to the hype. Some of the more RnB’ish sounding tracks seem out of place (except the joint with Phonte). They don’t fit with the “Street Hop” theme so to speak. Really disappointed that Primo only gave him two new tracks (“Shake This” is old)…..Primo gave Blaq Poet 13 tracks for his album…. Plus, I have the CD, but the mix isn’t very great. Seems like too much treble and not enough bass.

Not hatin on the album…just doesn’t seem complete. Death is Certain is still top for me.

Death Is Certain found a more depressed homicidal Royce, whereas Street Hop is more a happily homicidal Royce.

LOL

The big question to me: is it better than Death Is Certain? Obviously the two albums are very different in theme. Death Is Certain found a more depressed homicidal Royce, whereas Street Hop is more a happily homicidal Royce.
