9th Wonder & Buckshot - The Formula

Another Dope Lp from 2 Magicians

The first album was crazy. Now 9th wonder and buckshot are back with an even more well rounded album in "The Formula". Buckshots lyrics even flow more perfectly with the hooks this time around which create more of a full length complete song type feel on every track. One of the best albums of 08.

A New Hip Hop Classic

This album is better than the first effort (which i gave 3-4 stars). Here both artists Buck and NInth improve exponentially on their weekness which is monotony. The knock against 9th wonder are the beats have a similar sound and that Buckshot mails in some of his lyrics and relies on his delivery at times. This album right here "The Formula" suffers from none of the above. I've been banging this album for over two months straight! This is hot fire. Chockfull of lyrics that the average cat on the street can understate and relate to without talking about bling and hoochies and endless gun talk, meanwhile the beats are all killer headbob or soulfull smooth sounding tracks. This album is certainly a classic of the new millenium era and if it isn't than i'm curious as to what elements folks think are missing to make it one. If you like Kanye, Common, Lil Bros, AZ, Lil Wayne( ie Katrina Song and the other joint with hip hop being on lifesupport etc), Freeway, Talib, Jay Live's latest efforts in terms of them being quality albums with beats and lyrics u will love this album. If u don't love this album you don't love the basic elements of hiphop in its rawest form. This album sounds like the best of golden age hip hop with no fake glitz, straight hiphop with no chaser, strictly for music lovers. June 23, 2008

9th wonder and buckshot the formula

This is true grown up hip hop not like that other stuff that the record companies are force feeding the youth today. Anyone that is not familiar with this album or any other albums that 9th wonder is involved with is missing out on a part of life that all true rap or hip hop fans need to experience. Not only is this album a must have you have to also get the "chemistry" album along with the " dream merchant 1 and 2". Just get anything that the 9th wonder is involved with. June 13, 2008

On Point!!
