I'll speak from an UNBIASED point of view. Goldie is my nephew (yes my NEPHEW) and I heard SEVERAL versions of the album. Different songs, different beats , different artists (like the shit with KURRUPT). What I received (the commercial release you all paid for) was NOT what I expected. They changed it up in so many ways and I can't begin to tell you why. If you want that BAY SHIT (keak,quinn etc etc etc) You should look into RIDEZILLA, EL Dorado RED or the KIN SMOKE ALBUM (KINSMOKE IS THE NEXT RELEASE).



I'm not gonna apologize for them, I support my nephew, but I'm not really feelin the shit either...and No I'm not feelin the track with my sister on it (the MOMMA DOT track). It serves no purpose....these niggas talkin about bangin straps, pullin hoes, smokin weed and she talkin about Jesus.....

Federation - The Album

Artist: Federation
Title: Federation - The Album
Rating:
Reviewed by: Jozen Cummings

Bay Area producer Rick Rock has laced some of the finest rappers in the game with his head-nodding production. From Jay-Z to Snoop Dogg, Rock’s mix of southern crunk and West Coast funk has given Top 40 rappers a reason to still be loved by the streets, so it was only a matter of time before he brought some of his own men to the table. Enter Federation and their debut album appropriately titled, The Album. The Fairfield, Ca trio was handpicked by Rock to add words to a collection of beats that rival any other top producer in the game bar for bar.

Of course Rick Rock’s beats are the highlight of The Album, but Federation members Doonie Baby, Stres, and Goldie Gold prove that Rock’s draft skills are also to be admired. Federation spits gangster witticisms with enough passion to keep listeners attention throughout the album’s 19 tracks. The lead single, “Hyphy” (a combination of the words hype and fly), mixes record scratches and whirlwind sound effects with a drum pattern that sounds like a sonic spasm. Bay Area legend E-40 laces the track with his unique brand of wordplay, “They want to put me to sleep (nighty night)/but I’m gonna pull out my shit/I’m too hyphy.”

Other stars come in to offer their help, as is the case with Twista on “What If I Had a Gun” and Daz on “We Ride.” But even without the help of these fan favorites, Federation’s buzz in the Bay is proof that West Coast music can thrive on its own. Rock’s production is by far some of the most original Hip-Hop music being created today, and if Dr. Dre wants to lie in a studio and be picky about when he wants to drop some new shit, then fans of West Coast gangster rap should be turning their ears towards Rock and Federation. Simply put: The Album is gangster rap at its highest level. Stripped down to its bare essence, gangster rap isn’t about clever wordplay, it’s about effective wordplay, which Federation achieves through uncomplicated flows, and voices that emphasize the hard living experienced in the Bay Area streets.

I heard some of it at last, and got a fuckin headache. Must artists continue to pump up our peoples minds with ignorance and disrespect? I mean I didnt think it was gonna be no dead prez album or any thing but damn....why cant folks come anew and talk about some different shit! (but dont get me wrong I do love real gangsta shit, when its put together well)
I feel you pykillaman on this album is for folks that need the bump and some chourus to sing along to because lyrically I gotta say they are not doin it for me. But some folks love that, all they need is a tight beat and some thing catchy, but with me I need some thing thats going to inspire motivate and teach me a lil something and at the same time make me feel good.
Peace P

bought iut, listened to it pretty much straight thru 8-10 times already

i think the ppl who don't like this shit wanted an album of straight singles basically. it's a complete album and it's dope. (to me at least) probably overhyped, but i don't listen to radio so it's not that played out to me. if you got the cosmic slop shop album, you can compare that to this and see how they're kinda similar.

it's a good album, some people just aint ready for what rick is bringin to the table and that's the truth.

bay giants said it best, some people are stuck in the 90's waiting to hear some of that mobbed out rbl, 11-5, imp, udi shit.

u actually have to listen to the album a few times and u will see why it's a well rounded album.
