i first heard about necro several years ago.some artists advatise necro on their site. and thats how i heard of him.but when i went to tha record shop.they had. i need drugs-sexcorsist-and pre fix of death. i bought all three. but i had to listen
to em to enjoy.coz it will grow on you,you know. but this album is brilliant. i like
some of the heavy metal tracks on here.death rap. and mutilate tha beat is awesome.i think necro should get with esham...my god. they will make the most horrific album to date, fackin ell. peace out.
Death Rap is Necro's 5th LP, and he's only getting better. The beats on this album are sharp and to the point and his lyric quality / flow is at it's best. A lot of people like to complain about the rap/metal fusion on some of Necro's stuff (some tracks on this album, and the pre-fix) but this is the smoothest combination of the two I've seen thus far. There is a good balance of pure hip-hop and metal fusion tracks on this album. The only complaint I have is the same as everyone else, the album is much too short. The "filler" (skits, intros, outros) of previous albums are missing, but on the other hand I can listen to this album on repeat over and over and it just doesn't seem to get old.
4.5/5
Buy it and we can get it percolating like the church of Satan.
The Prefix for Death was almost 2 hours long. this is barely past half an hour. Necro the jew is too busy worrying on how to maximize his profit by doing more shows and not paying fellow label mates. (what happened to the Secret Society Album?) On the plus side its 39 minutes of top shelf Necro with no (ok maybe a little) Filler.
But aside from that, the hard hiphop beats are sick. Necro at his darkest best. The lyrics are usual Necro genius.
The guest appearances were a plus. Mike Smith of Suffocation and Steve DiGeorgio of Death were the highpoint. Brian Flair was a yawn. The drumming was sick and for Necro to pull it off flow-wise was a plus. Mr. Hyde showed signs of vast improvement in Exploitation. Ill Bill was only featured on one verse, which is a shame because Bill always shines on guest spots. The 3 minute songs could easily have accommodated an extra Bill verse here and there.
THE HUGE DOWN SIDE--Necro may have lost some potential fans with some very lame hooks on the following songs,
Creepy Crawl-"stabbing and stabbing" ( repeat 20Xs)
STDBGS-"Im ambitious and determined with goals..." (for a mosh pit anthem?!)
Keeping it real= "Im keeping it real for the streets, you know the deal" (sung by Adam Jackson)
Evil Rules- "Death Rap. Extreme Violence and brutal Murder"
Please tell me Necro didn't write these hooks. C'mon now, extreme metal choruses are actually 100xs more creative and poetic than this. either that or they are growled and screamed so well that you wouldn't understand it without looking at a lyric sheet. I think the choruses were way better with John Tardy or even Jamey Jasta.
It is obvious Necro was trying to reach a broader fan base here. The problem is he's trying to appeal to the Black/Death Metal fans with his artwork, name dropping, and numerous references to Satan on one hand. But on the other hand his guest appearances are, aside from Mike and Steve, from mainstream metal or HardCore. I would rather see Deicide, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy represented in this crossover but Im rambling and who cares. You win some you lose some. Ill see you in hell.
CLASSIC NECRO SONGS WHICH MAKE THE ALBUM WORTH IT:
******NO REMORSE*****
*****PORTRAIT OF A DEATH RAPPER*****
Overall, a good album but not nearly as good as Prefix, Gory Days or I need Drugs. Some people may be turned off by the metal influences. Right Vos?
First off let me be clear that this in no way reflects on the group. This is a cd that from what I have been able to find out was never recorded. Secondly, this cd is being offered from ----spun---- buyer beware....it is a false representation and is not the said cd. I ordered it and recieved Death Rap by Necro. Last I checked this was supposed to be Secret Society by Secret Society. Don't be fooled!
