Lame Ass Haters!! Jump Off The Nutz Already!

knoc isn't slip capone. from a REAL rap fan.......2006-03-11

i don't know much about knoc, but it's true that this cd is 3 stars at best. his homeboy slip capone is still one of the best featured artists out there and i'll buy and play anything with him on it. capone needs a lp bad.

the real reason i am righting this review:
as far as "Johnny Salzone" up out of nyc (read the below review first), i ain't defending drive byes in the slightest way, but by you glorifying walking up to somebody and shooting them in the face just goes to show that you have no clue as to what your talking about. it's ignorance like yours that makes it possible for pointless violence to still existed in rap. just keep your mouth shut about sh-t you don't know about. like to see how long your scary a-- last in the CPT talkin that sh-t, i can't believe you motherf-ckers are still hung up on that east vs west, get a life. Hey ya'll check out this fake fool's other reviews like the one on a book about the five points he calls a reviewer a "dingbat". this guy doesn't even know about his own local hip-hop culture. comment on somthing you know about, leave rap to those who actually follow it.

Typical Left Coast Mediocrity.......2005-09-24

I call it like I see it: the title track is bangin', but the rest of the album is pure garbage. I also checked out his previous material, which is also garbage. While most music out of the West Coast is whack, there are a few quality artists like Snoop (in his hey day), some of the Game stuff, classic Ice Cube, etc. This simply isn't in the same league as the material I just mentioned; not even close. This stuff might be good if you're a corny LA gang-banger who does cowardly drive by shootings (as oppossed to in New York where they walk up to you and shoot you in the face), otherwise I say stay away from this!

I AM FORCED TO KNOC THE HUSTLE CUZ THIS AINT BANGIN.......2005-07-02

Okay Knoc brings absoluteley nothin new to the table, and Knoc is not a good rapper neither, and man just read this:

Ratings of the songs (not intros and skits)

War (3.5/5) - Pretty solid raps actually but semycorny hook

Love LA (4/5)- Best song of the album, much becouse of the sick beat

The Way I Am (3/5) - pretty good, tight beat plus Snoop as well

Watch Out (2/5) beat is pretty good but I'm not feelin the lyrics

Peepin' Tom (1.5/5) wack beat and lyrics

Click-Click (4/5) short but good song

Love Slave (1.5/5) U have to be a real wack rapper to destroy this beat

What We Do (3/5) the bass sounds tweaked in my speakers but otherwise pretty decent

I Like (2/5) The first rapverse is bangin, the second is wack as well as the hook and the beat is wack too

Change This Game (2.5/5) - so so

Until the Day (2.5/5) - SO SO, GOOD RAPS BUT BEAT & HOOK IS SOSO

Have Fun (1.5/5) - pretty wack

Never Stop Thuggin (1/5) - wack , pop song

Why buy this man when u can buy XZIBIT's first 2 albums, or Mack 10's recipe? Answer: i dont know-...

The album has a couple good bangers on there but the rest of it has half decent songs and some of them are really short. Knoc came a little over average on his debut and hopefully next time around he'll do a lot better.
