A Gangster and a Gentleman [PA] by Styles

Pros: Some very very good tracks. Styles easy flow.

Cons: Bad and long skits. A couple of weak tracks.

The Bottom Line: There is too many great tracks on this album to miss it, and if you cut out the weak tracks, its a solid 5 miccer.

Review: Come on, how many of you got excited by the prospect of Jadakiss's solo album, only to buy it, and t ...

Pros: This guy is probably the most underrated lyricist in the game and he shows why.

Cons: There are tracks he didn't need to put on the album.

The Bottom Line: I can proudly say I saw him coming. He payed his dues and dropped an album that deserves serious recognition.

Review: When you talk about Ruff Ryders, people will think about DMX. People will think of Eve. People will think of Jadakiss. But Ruff Ryders has a forgotten man. Quite a forgotten man. Styles drops his first solo album with A gangster and a gentleman. It is...

Pros: Solid lyrical display; decent production; deep and realistic subjects

Cons: Below-average songs and performances hinder final rating; worthless skits

The Bottom Line: If you're an open minded hip-hopper, then this is definitely worthy of a few spins.

Review: Nowadays, being a gangster is synonymous with mainstream appeal. I spoke pretty well on this matter in my recent Jadakiss review; commercial "studio gangstas" who always pack the radio with the essentially same song constantly, never once dropping ...

Pros: Good lyrics, strong production, emotional and heartfelt, guest appearances.

Cons: Not for those who don't like hardcore Rap, a few poor tracks.

The Bottom Line: This is only for those who feel the hardcore subgenre.
