HMV Review

For all its action-packed Frank Stallone bombast, the opening track of Memphis Bleek's fourth album, 534, opens the door with a key instead of a battering ram. Things then get flat-out bizarre: a brief interlude lifted from an obscure folk artist (Lisa Koch, known for a song titled Beaver Cleaver Fever) sets up Dear Summer -- a (decent) Jay-Z feature with no other MCs present. The Swizz Beatz-produced Like That is T.I.'s rallying Bring 'Em Out at half power; Infatuated is the obligatory track for the ladies, containing the phrase You complete me in the hook. The album improves in its latter half, although it's usually the production work -- from the likes of 9th Wonder, Just Blaze, and Bink -- that attracts the attention. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

    シングルカットされてるものは良かったけど‥アルバム自体にはもっとメリハリが欲しかった。もう少しポップトラックがあればメンフィスの良さを更に引き出せた作品になったと思います。

    Like ThatのPV見て一目ぼれ。 ほかの曲はまだ聴いてないからわからないけど、とりあえず期待できそう。
