Dec 20, 2011Radioactive is a mixed bag that has some outstanding tracks, while others fail from a lack of execution particularly in the production and hook department.
-
Dec 14, 2011The end result is an album during which the main protagonist seems unaware of what's going on, playing second fiddle to the ruminations of backseat A&Rs and misguided grasps at populism.

Nov 29, 2011For an uncomfortable seven-song stretch, the rapper seems so alienated from his own album.
-
Nov 28, 2011It seems a huge effort being expended to achieve so little.
