Termanology - Hood Politics

Man, there aren't a lot of dudes that can rap about crispy Jordans on their feet, pricy shades over the eyes and still be able to spit some shit with some knowledge.

Termanology does that cleverly on "50 Bodies," playing with his words and the number 50 by giving it several meanings. "...That's 50 pair of jeans you traded for 50Gs/ could've had a bank account and be whippin' a V." Ouch! He's talkin' about you Bape wearers with bad credit. "50 Bodies" is definitely one of those songs you need to repeat just to catch all those sly metaphors.

With standout production from a standout roster featuring the likes of Marley Marl, DJ Premier, Don Cannon, Statik Selektah and others, Termanology keeps your head boppin'.

On "In God We Trust," the beat is reminiscent of a Jay-Z track on Blueprint. You know, old school samples, squeaky sped-up soul vocals, hard knock beats and lyrics representing the struggle. Those things, undoubtedly, makes this track a new classic.

Easily switching up the steelo, Term goes on to spit lyrics glamorizing guns and bloody glory. On a track with a title that gives it all away, "Squeeze Ya Rachet," Lil Fame from M.O.P. hops on the track and ups the gangsta factor a few notches.

So, although the mixtape tends to be a bit bi-polar -from uplifting lyrics to shoot bang-bang songs- it just further proves that a true artist is able to deliver both styles flawlessly.

Many people may look at that and think it's contradictory but Term once acknowledged that by stating he's just human. It's a humanly thing to be diverse and have the ability to flip sides ever so often.

Cop this mixtape full of humane tales depicting the struggle and the vices of this emcee.
