Guest Blog: Euro “July” Mixtape Review by @MrMitch401

Real Nigga Review
Euro “July”
“Just tryna make the city I grew in proud”

cover

Ev is back with another one of his reviews. This time he gives his thoughts on Euro’s July poject that recently dropped.

Hmm where do I begin? Well first and foremost I gotta say as a providence native I’m proud and excited for the young boy from OUR city, as you should be, and coming off of hearing “Induction Speech” for the first time I was hyped to hear what he had in store.  With that said, let’s get into it!

Euro opens up with his rendition of “Paris Morton Music” I have to say I wish he would have picked his bars up off of this track and placed them on a different beat. Not that the bars are wack I just feel as though they don’t fit the best on this beat. However, he gets my attention back on the very next joint “I Know My Name” another smooth joint full of witty word play and cleaver bars. Euro delivers on this one. BUT the flow gets a little boring to me on this tape overall, again the bars are there, delivery struggles at times IMO. I’m not totally sold on the whole off beat flow but when he’s on the kid got some shit. My favorite joint on this project is by far “Preach” son cooked on this joint I was impressed. At the risk of sounding like a stuttering dick head homie can rap, and rap well, but honestly I’m just not totally sold on him being the one to catapult RI hip hop to where we all feel it belongs. Not that it’s his responsibility. It’s just placed on him because of the position that he’s in. Anyway this project shows that Euro has the potential to be a good artist I just think he needs more time. He has the cosign of all of his YMCMB cohorts, now he just needs to continue to develop. But what do I know I’m just a fat nigga with an opinion and a my notes app on my iPhone. When it’s all said and done I give Euro’s July a 2.75 out of 5 real nigga middle fingers. Cool listen but not much playback value, AGAIN THIS IS ALL MY OPINION! If you don’t like it fight me.

HP Slate gets unofficially reviewed…

hp-slate-leak-review

Tech blobg, Conecti.ca, reportedly got its hands on a pre-release copy of the HP Slate and did a quick unofficial hands on review. The review, in Spanish and machine-translated by Google, is not kind toward the Windows 7-powered device. The review is peppered with negativity including the observation of ”a long and annoying load time operating system” and a final verdict upholds the less-than enthusiastic theme of the review by proclaiming that the device and its experience is “meh”. On the plus side, the device has “expansion ports ad-nauseum” and, though made of plastic, the slate “feels dense and tough”. Overall, the reviewers see this device as a portable competitor to netbooks and not necessarily the proverbial iPad killer that the device is touted to be.
