Music reviews of Yeeeah Baby

Music Review: (2-1/2 stars) Posthumous Pain
Rating: 2 Stars

The first three songs, "Watch Those," "Off Wit His Head," and "It's So Hard" are pretty good (in fact, "Watch Those" has one of the catchiest choruses you've ever heard). But that's about it. The rest of the album falls very short of what we know Big Pun is capable of. Songs like "Laughing At You", "We Don't Care" and "My D___" should have immediately been thrown in the garbage. And if you're ever having trouble falling asleep, try putting on "N S**t" or "Wrong Ones." It'll work wonders.

Many parts of this album are so violent it's ridiculous. The best example, "Leather Face," would make Eminem ask, "Are you some kind of psycho?" Also, the guest rappers do nothing to save this album. People like Prospect and SunKiss could be mistaken for any member of The Firm. And then there's the "new" female MC, Remi Martin, who is to Terror Squad what Lil' Kim was to Junior M.A.F.I.A. But that's not necessarily a good thing. You'll find that out when you hear her song "Ms. Martin" (I thought this was Big Pun's album). The only guest spot that almost works is M.O.P. on "New York Giants." The problem with that song is that it's too loud. Sure, it's the M.O.P. we all know and love, but all that loud scream-rapping doesn't sound right coming from Big Pun's mouth.

Posthumous albums are never widely accepted by many people, especially when one hears the quality of the songs. This album only has a few good songs, so there were three better choices here: make an EP, spread the songs across different soundtracks, or just forget about the songs altogether. But for some reason, people think these albums will resurrect the artist. Some people may say I'm not being fair because Big Pun isn't around any more, but let's be honest. If an artist releases a bad album and then dies, regardless of how he/she dies, that doesn't somehow make the album good. In fact, that's almost saying the artist wasn't important until he/she died. Otherwise, where were you when they were alive?

All in all, I'm not saying we should forget about Big Pun...I'm saying we should forget about this album.
