Review 1 for Distant Relatives
Great value for cost

What's great about it: Cost and Contents
What's not so great: Nothing
My two teenage daughters have been hounding me to get this CD for them for quite a while and I was reluctant because I do not purchase any music content that has "parental advisory" label attach to it. When one of them turned 18 I got it for her so they could both share and after listening to it myself, I am amazed that this CD did not garner the attention that it deserved since it was released. Musical contents are really uplifting. Again, it leaves me to question that maybe the PR department did not do a good job at promoting it. I do not see any reason why this CD did not get the nationwide attention it deserved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nas and Jr. Gong make an amazing duo.
What's not so great: I have no complaints.
This album is almost perfect. I never skip a track and it has been in my CD player since the day it was released. If you support good music and good musicians, buy this album.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The Lyrics, Beats and Rhythm of entire album...
What's not so great: Lil Wayne being a part of it....
This album is set to only sell about 50k in the 1st week? I cant believe real hip hop fans are not buying this album. I hope those who complain about the music today realize you have to actually go and buy an album to support their music of choice. I just hope the album at least goes gold. Im not even going to hold my breathe in anticipation of them winning a grammy (Real Music Doesnt Win 4 Some Strange Reason). Well the CD is worth more than $9 ( I bought 2). Enjoy and tell ppl about this truley gr8 album...

What's great about it: Album is more than a beat and a hook. It has substance and deal with past and present issues.
Album is more than a beat and a hook. It has substance and deal with past and present issues. Has a feel of classic Bob Marley and Classic Nas.
