In the early 90’s, hip hop was aggressive and in your face. This
collaborated with mainstream appeal of gansta rap. One of the pioneers of this
aggressive genre would be the group called ONYX. This intense
trio, introduced the urban world to gritty lyricists named Fredro Starr.
Firestarr is the debut release of this rapper turned actor.

For you listeners of sentimental and conscious hip hop acts like Common
and Black Eyed Peas take a step back and remove Firestarr
from your listening ear. Starr‘s new album does not abandon
the Onyx blueprint which entertained audiences and listeners
across the nation. Lyrically raw and thugged out vocals are his selling power
and forte. This album is definitely an extension of the onyx
era and mass underground appeal. The only distinguishing factor is the
progression of Starr‘s new vocal onslaught.

Firestarr is highlighted by the controversial thought provoking anthem
called What If, where this mic wizard displays his enhanced vocal
style. This clever track is a potential classic and it is definitely holding
weight. Breathtaking lines like Yo, what if Pac was still thuggin/ What if
he was alive/ Would all these niggas still be screaming out / Ride or Die?

. What if Eninem was Black/ Would he have sold five mil / or would he be
one out of five million rappers with no deal
. The other notable cut would
be Perfect Bitch where the Starr indulges in an
untouched novelty, by lyrically constructing his own tenderroni. The sleeper
track of his debut would be Shining Through which features the sultry
background vocals of SUNSHINE.

Some of negative aspects to Fredro Starr‘s debut would be that
the collabos are inconsistent and fall short from captivating the embodiment of
the album. Polished Stars like Cuban Link, Capone-N-Noreaga
and Ice-T only cause confusion to Firestarr. The
musical production on cuts like Soldier and I Don’t Wanna are
not up to par and are puzzling edition to otherwise decent album.

Firestarr will make you reminiscence on the glory days of intense
straight up hip hop that was representing the streets and the underground
radio. Fredro Starr has definitely made a positive transition
from movies, to sitcoms and back to the hip hop game. However, his maturity
would be the obvious key for his future success in the rap game.
