LA the Darkman - Heist of the Century (CD)

Underground Classic

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 21, 2006

Pros: Some Of The Best Lyrics You'll Ever Hear

Cons: Some Of The Beats Needed That Extra Sting

Although I Didn't Like 3 Tracks On The Album, The Rest Of The Tracks Made Up For It. La The Darkman IS one of THE BEST RAPPERS That Ever Came Out. His Lyrics Can Be Compared To The Likes Of Nas, Tupac, and Notorious B.I.G. Darkman II Should Be Co...ming Out Some Time This Year (2006), So Look Out For It Because I'm Sure It'll Be Just As Good As "Heist Of The Century" Or Better. Peace, Love, And Happiness.

If you where born & raised in New York like me, you would understand why I'd rated this album a 5(Classic)!

The Beats Were Almost Perfect!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 20, 2002

This album by La The Darkman had some of the tightest beats I've ever heard. If you like hardcore Wu Tang stuff like Raekwon's debut, you'll love this. My favorite songs are "Heist of the Century", "Shine", "Figaro Chain", "Wu Blood Kin", "I Want It ...All", "4 Souls" and the mellow masterpiece "Love". Your probably thinkin' why didn't I give it 5 stars if the beats are so brilliant?. Well La talks about the same stuff in every song, it's either drugs, money or mafia slang. He put one horrible song called "Spring Water"on there, just fast-foward that track. He showcases a one-dimensional flow and I also heard that Reakwon was writing his lyrics. Ummm.. I don't know for sure but if you can get past that stuff it's a slammin album. Read more Less

La took listeners by surprise. His talent shines through out this whole album. Chech out the track "street life" fo sho he rhymes excellent. Track number 8 iz a original so sit back and listen to him and reakwon spit on that one. Him and ghost 12 0'...clock have a slow tempo track that iz banging. Go and et it Read more Less

Carlito, from all over

every single track is wu-tang production at it's best. La paints lyrical pictures with colorful words. Very under-rated album. If you like the sinister wu-tangs beats that made wu-tang what it is then you need to go cop this cd. It is one of the few... albums I would buy again if I had to Read more Less
