Made Man (studio album)
by Silkk The Shocker

His rapping is as eccentric as it gets. I can understand some of the criticisms, but I don't know, I somehow have the impression that were he to emerge on the scene today, he wouldn't be as mocked, the modern direction of rapping seems to suit him slightly more. The "counterclockwise flow" analogy is a creative way to put it, though slightly inaccurate, as it implies there's a method to his madness, which I failed to discern, the man is simply a lunatic, he is all over the place. When a rapper dominates an album like that, it's usually a bad idea to fill it with guests. Here this wasn't a problem to the slightest, quite the contrary actually, they give you some valuable room to breathe before the next punch of the man hits even harder. The production is also questionable and bound to raise a debate, it seems to be going everywhere or nowhere depending on your perception. I would argue in favor of the former (the variety is incredible, it grabs you from the first second and never lets you loose, it's impossible to stop before it's over) and as a result thorougly enjoyed it - but I'm pretty sure I am in the minority here. Also, it's 70 minutes long and it still feels desperately short, give me some more.
