I was really into The Raven until Hoodoo’s second verse when he said he commands and gets whut he wants by cawing like a Raven lol, but overall I liked the song. Overall though, it’s a great release by Psychopathic that should be received well.Ĭomment posted on Friday, July 5th, 2013 06:45 pm GMT -5 at 6:45 pm
Big Hoodoo definitely can stand on his own and should be allowed to do so. While Juggalos appreciate the support by the Dons of the label in this case it almost seems as though Violent J feels like Hoodoo can’t stand on his own. The major downfall of the CD is Violent J singing on almost every track. Others will find that Hoodoo overcomes this and puts out a very solid effort in his debut. A lot of listeners feel as though this could have easily been a Violent J solo album due to the massive influence felt on every track. 7/10Ĭonclusion: Big Hoodoo makes his debut on Psychopathic records with this album. The verses fit Hoodoo’s style and delivery perfectly. The World Is Very Different– The beat in this track is really unique and that makes this stand out from the start. The lyrics are wicked and the hook work well. The delivery is once again slowed by Hoodoo. Detroit Murderous– Another really dark beat backs this one. This track should have lead off the album as it seems more like an introduction to Big Hoodoo aka The Jinx. The Jinx– The beat is good but doesn’t stand out. The hook is alright but could have been put together better. The verses are fresh and the sound works. Another dope old school style to the beat. My Homie– Sugar Slam leads off the track. The attempt to add another sound to counter the dark vibe of Hoodoo here would work if the singing was better performed. Happily Ever After– Another dope beat here. ICP’s verses work on their CD’s but here seem forced. I understand the collaborative effort here but it does not work in the slightest. Spells Ft ICP– The sound completely does not work with the vibe of the rest of the CD. The hook is easy to get into and brings the track up. The verses are good but are not quite as good as the rest of the CD. The verses don’t really stand out lyrically but flow very well with the track. The hook is sung by Violent J again, and it works. Darkside– A quicker beat here that lets Hoodoo shine with his style. A great track that will pull emotions out of the listener. The entire track is very depressing and makes the listener feel it.
The hook is not great but serves its purpose. The beat is slow and dark which gives way to very deep and dark lyrics of abuse and neglect. Never Had– This was the second track released on the album. The hook is not very complex but it works ok here. The verses are very well written and performed. Blitzed– A simple beat pushes this track. Awesome Dre finishes the track and does a great job of closing it out. Hoodoo’s verse is so different from J it makes him stand out and his style shine. Violent J has a really good verse and his singing in the hook is much better here. Mountain Climbing Ft Awesome Dre & Violent J– This beat is slower as well but it works. Violent J sings it and that really takes away from the dark feel a lot. The hook is where this track could have been better. The lyrics remind the listener of Mad Professor. The verses flow all around the beat and lyrically it is very wicked. Give it Life– Another slow beat with a ton of bass. The verses fit more into the style we are used to hearing from him. The Raven– Great beat in this track with a rock/rap hybrid sound. The delivery style is not like anything Doe Dubbla has done before. The hook is catchy and definitely fits the voodoo image well. The verses flow with the beat but it works. Hexed- The first single released off the album. A really nice beat and quick little hook give the album a nice start. Intro– Simple intro but has a dope feel to it. Mountain Climbing Ft Awesome Dre & Violent Jġ.
