WUSSCRACKIN NIKKAZ!

A year ago,when Recovery came out,me and my dude forgot_about_matt did a track by track review of the album,now unfortunatly my dude is unreachable and i have no contact with him,so im gonna do this SOLO.

Welcome 2 Hell: The album kicks off with this dark Havoc beat,and Em goes INsane,this double time flow is excuted very well,rhyming is very impressive,vicious delivery from Em,than royce continues with the same flow,drops off some nice punchlines,then the back and fourth starts,the best back and fourth on the whole EP,great rhyming from both but Em kills royce on this track,classic hip hop right here folks. 9/10

Favorite line on the track:
Other words I didn't put a dent in a can compared to the damage I've yet to do

Fast Lane: Great Thumping drums here,Royce kicks in with some impressive rhyming and a great delivery,some funny lines here and there from Em,flow sounds tiring,some good rhyming though,chorus is very catchy,royce spazzed on his second verse,great jack Kevorkian mention,i dislike the stuttering part from Em here,but again verse is acceptable,funny lines at the end,good track,but royce takes it here,no doubt. 6/10

Favorite line on the track:
Me and Shady deaded the past, so that basically resurrected my cashflow

The Reunion: Great Nostalgic start,beat is amazing,that snare is deep,Em is very funny on here,the classic dialogue that Em does very well,delivery and voice are very relaxed,extremely funny lines,chrous is outstanding,royce does the same,great funny line from royce,Em comes in again,dialogue again but extremely great rhyming,praises relapse which i love,great switch from royce to Em,chemistry is there,royce is very funny with the mentions,good rhyming from royce,Its really good to be back in business,its very close here but Em takes it. 9/10

Favorite Line on the track:
Blew through the lights, spun out, hit a patch of black ice/Forgot we had trailer hitched to the back. We jack-knifed.

Above The Law: Great hook,awesome feel to the track,Screaming is done well,im liking it,The lyrics are good bar the punchline that was really not needed but tolerable,great end to the verse,royce's verse is average here,track is good,Em takes this,not much of a challenge put up by royce really,the hook and the beat were not done justice though. 7/10

Favorite Line on the track:
Terrible, but not rippable, invincible, I hung invisible.

Im On Everything: Great sample from Mike Epps,Royce was forgetablle on the first verse,just some babble tbh,good bridge from Em,dont like the fart noise,Em's first bars are poor than it picks up,rhyming starts to become great,Flow are delivery are relaxed and great,fast flow again but its done good,great punchline from Em,royce again,more awfullness here,get him off already,back and fourth starts,both pick it up here,great triple time flow from Em at the last bars,good track. 6/10

Faviorte Line on the track: Bitch, it’s on again yeah/ break that Klonopin in half/While I smoke some chronic in the cab with Donovan McNabb/And I dye my hair back blonde again and laugh.

A Kiss: Hook is really random,Royce kicks it,twitter mentions,this guy does it a lot,good verse though,Em comes,voice is calm,swag is on an all time high here,im really feeling the flow and the rhyming is good,kinda funny too,hook again,loving Em's second verse,funny relationshit line,good punchlines,i like that boo one,royce does good on his verse too,when royce is this relaxed hes really special,Em again,classic mentions of celebs,great gaga punchline,poking fun at katy perry too,song continues to be good,track is great,very enjoyable,beat could have been better,nobody outshines the other here. 7/10

Favoirte line on the track: My dick is as hard as a yardstick/What we gonna do? Ride around til we're carsick/Then I'm gonna put this shit in park/And you can blow me in the dark in the parking lot/Out of the trailer park by the garbage.

Lighters: Bruno Mars on the hook,not a fan of his voice,very irritating and innocent for my liking,cliche' lighters up singing,Em comes in,voice is calm and good,Em is rapping with a ton of melody here,verse is enjoyable,good rhyming,feels emotional,boring hook again,when will this guy shut up,here comes royce,sounds poor,rhyming is awful,bars are very badly structured,rhyming seems nonexistent,kisses Em's ass again,he needs to stop this,royce sounds so out of place,beat is poppy,smeezingtons did it,what can i expect,good track though,it just sticks out and feels very awkward on the EP,Em does alot better here,takes it EASILY.6/10

Faviorte line on the track: Cause it wasn’t that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, lustered/Cuz he couldn’t cut mustard, muster up nothing/Brain fuzzy, cause he’s buzzin’, woke up from that buzz/Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it?

Take From Me: Hook is eerie and awesome,Royce is terrible,bar structure and writing quality is abysmal and poor,makes some good points but still nothing worth a mention,Em comes in,working with a concept here,flow sounded choppy at first but by the second listen i picked up better on it,rhyming is good,very good points made,enjoyable verse,got chills at the end,i really felt the emotion here,very good track,where Em easily takes it again. 7/10

Favorite line on the track: Cause I break my back to give you my art/you steal my thoughts/It's like driving a spike through my heart/You might think it's not/that big of a deal to steal from me/But music is all I got.

Loud Noises: Beat is dope,Em's first verse has some funny lines but its all over the place,Crooked killed his verse,multies coming out left and right,braggadocio at its finest here,Joell's flow is very enjoyable,he killed this too,didnt notice that i skipped royce,maybe because he was THAT forgettable here,Joe on a fast flow,not a fan of this although he dropped some genius punchlines,average track,id take the 2 previous Em and SH tracks over this one,still good though. 7/10

Favorite line on this track: I’m a menace villain, my pen is sitting spilling, my lyrics killing/Then I let you witness shit when it hit the ceiling/The nikkaz willing to give the listeners the sickest feeling.

Echo: Khalil,very dope beat,hook is haunting and very awesome,Em kicks in,verse sounds so better than the leaked version,flow is good,the rhyming is good,delivery is fine,verse would have been better if Em didnt say some of the lines,royce now,wow,verse is awesome,flow is off the chain,rhyming is great,delivery is so strong yet so relaxed,Em looks like a rookie here,royce easily took this,great track,if this wasnt leaked id bust a nut. 8/10

favorite line on the track: Classical poems/battle my own/demons i need a glass of patron/bad as i need a horn/stabbing my clavicle bone/im at it or prone.

Living Proof: Beat is beyond sick,that "dont stop" in the background is awesome,royce's delivery and flow are top notch,not sure about the lyrics,Em sounds crazy here,drops off some sick funny lines,great flow,hook is dope,royce again,nothing special here,Em's screaming is very enjoyable here,Em took this. 7/10

Favorite line on the track: i will be screaming on these whore till im hoarse.

Final Thoughts: Really enjoyed this EP,its obviously randomly thrown toghether,i wonder how good an LP could be,these 2 are able to craft some amazing hip hop,thanks Em and nickle.

DA! SON!
