What the internet is saying about Royce Da 5′9′’s new album “Street Hop.”

Drawbacks? Anyone that bought the Revival EP will give a little eye roll to the Rock City representer because all four songs are on this album. We also know that Royce can get a bit nasty especially with his scatological fixation, but the shit talk isn’t quite as pronounced on this album. Also, Royce spreads the “my mouth is a gun and my words are bullets” concept pretty thick at times. However, he manages to say it in a billion different ways. So at least you’re not listening to lethargic lyricism. Oh and there’s A LOT of features on this album. Too many to list.

Is it good? Yes. If you like sneaky metaphors and enjoy debating what exactly a rapper meant with all his cryptic bars, you will enjoy this. The production is provided by a who’s who list of top beat choppers including Premier, Nottz, Streetrunner and Quincy Tones and elevates many of the songs to cinematic status. Royce does retreat from his normal hyper aggressive, but it’s nice to see his layers and his fans already know wha’ts good with da 5′9″. Bravo sir. (Full Review @ Planet Ill)

Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.
