GLASSES MALONE - BEACH CRUISER


GLASSES MALONE
BEACH CRUISER
2011

                                                               01 G Bo (Intro)
02 Kickstand
Wes' wes' to the fullest. Real rap. Malone does his thing. 4.5/5
03 Eastsidin f. Snoop Dogg & Nipsey Hu$$le
Typical club banga, but man it hooks you in. Sick beat.
Malone goes hard, Snoop is snoop o the hook and Nipsey 
steals the show. This dude is underrated. 4.5/5
04 Certified f. Akon
Took me some to get used to Akon being on this track
but it's really a nice track and G Malone makes it
his own. This dude is raw and i knew it first time
i heard him spit years ago. 4.5/5
05 Dope
Crazy beat, not really a hit but it grows on ya. 4/5
06 Off Safety f. Latoya Williams & Mack 10
Female type of track, but nothing watered down.
Nice lil song. Great to see Mack 10 making the alb. 4.5/5
07 Hold On (Rare Breed) f. T. Lopez
This is on some ol' skool funk type shit. Lil outta place
but i can dig it. 3.5/5
08 I Get Doe f. The Cataracs
Commercial track right here, but Glasses makes
it work with his verses. Likin the hook too 4/5
09 Rich N Thuggin f. Ya Boy
Not bad, but with Ya boy featuring i'd expect some more.
Love Malone's verses though. 4/5
10 Car Wash
Sick beat, that's what i'm talkin bout. Classic. 5/5
11 Call Me T.I. 
Not sure about this one. Not at all west coast fo real.
More like a Rick Ross song. Still allright though. 3.5/5
12 Til Da Sun Come Up f. T-Pain, Rick Ross & Birdman
Radio material, but it's a tight joint with Ricky starting
off strong. Since Malone is signed to Cash Money
it had to have Birdman on a track at least. Typical. 3.5/5
13 No Sympathy f. Jay Rock
Not a fan of Jay Rock and he takes down the whole track. 
Shit hook but Malone is still awesome though 3/5
14 Club Heaven
My favourite joint. Like the title, it's heaven. 5/5
15 Feel Good Muzik f. Latoya Williams
Another favourite. Love the breakdown at the end. 5/5
16 Just Waitin (Bonus Track)
Why would this NOT be on the album??
Awesome throwback joint. Sweet as saccharine 5/5
17 Stronger (Bonus Track)
This one could've been left out maybe, but it's
not a bad track per se. Grows on ya! 4/5


BONUS CD
01.My Turn (feat. Kam, Latoiya Williams, Lupe Fiasco, & Wyclef Jean)
02.I'mma Pray (feat. Tyrese)
03.Go Big
04.Fuck With Me (feat. Manny Fresh)
05.Haterz (Feat. Lil Wayne & Birdman)
Still to review this bonus cd!


REVIEW
Glasses Malone's previous collaborative alb with Mack 10,
Money Music, was one of the best albs of 2011. I'd expected
something similar, but it wasn't really like that. But this shows
the talent that Glasses Malone is. He made this album his own.
Rap will never die with cats like this bringing out quality raps.
Overall score: 8.8/10
