Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

If rap is a hustle and only the strong survive, then Cormega must be an ironman. The Realness is the debut album from Cormega. Better known for what he hasn't appeared on, 'mega's name first came to light when Nasty Nas mentioned during "One Love" that he'd been incarcerated. Then came his much-publicised non-tenure with Nas' supergroup, The Firm. After years of dealing with street-music biz madness, Cormega has taken his time to craft The Realness. Similar in theme to his friend Prodigy's H.N.I.C., The Realness mainly deals with day-to-day life in the ghetto, while throwing a sideways nod to industry drama and the art of rhyming. On first listen, this might seem to be little more than that ol' bittersweet thug reflection people love to indulge in, but the quiet beats and somber lyrics will grow on you. The real gem here is "American Be! auty," a succinct, multidimensional breakdown of the development of hip-hop at the hand of her creators. Are you listening, Nas? --Rebecca Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Debut album from Mega 2 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I bought this cd while in canada and I didn't know much about Cormega and he is now one of my favourite Mc's. This album is amazing the more I listen to it the more I like it. The production is excellent coming from Havoc, Alchemist and Cormega as well as others. The beats are varied and there is not a bad track on the entire album.

Mega's rhymes are ill and he has a great flow which suits almost any beat. The only bad thing i could say about this album is that it's quite short. The stand out tracks are 'get out my way' 'American beauty' and 'Killaz theme' (bonus track) Buy this album now and support the realist mc out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for any real hip hop fan. 2 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Cormega's debut album "The Realness" is a perfect example of Queensbridge hip hop. This album features well established artists such as prodigy of mobb deep and tradegy khadafi. In my opinion the highlite of this album is the song entitled "Fallen Soldiers" in which Cormega talks about loosing friends. In conclusion I think that this album is not for fans of commercial hip hop but fans of QB style real hip hop. Luke
