This Conjuring prequel is about as bad as the original. The conceptual focus this time is on Annabelle; a demon-possessed collectible not to be confused with Annabelle Wallis as mother Mia Form. The doll wants to take the “soul” of her baby and the plot is as silly as it sounds, especially when the supernatural happenings begin.

The cover, once you realize it’s not a birthday party promo, makes this seem like some kind of compilation, but it’s the new Suga-T album and it sounds better than you might expect. One advantage the rapper has over her brother (E-40) is that she can also sing, which does wonders for some of these hooks. Standout songs include Day Ones, JOB and We Made It Out.

Aside from novelty acts like Lyrically Lively, I think this album; Ice-T’s first in 20 years; makes him the oldest rapper to drop a new album. The fact that it sounds better than a lot of what’s out now says less about the 68-year-old’s skills than the current state of the genre.
“You wanna age niggas out in hip-hop?” he asks on No Competition, “Most you bitch niggas so garbage, why the fuck should I stop?” I don’t think he should; at least not until his teeth fall out or dementia begins to set in. Even then the OG title would’ve never rang truer.
Not that Criminal Migraine compares to Original Gangster. That was his magnum opus. This could very well be his last hurrah; he’s old, rich and not nearly as innovative; but he’s spitting more game (wisdom) than ever. The best songs include Keep It Gangster and No Regrets.

A quadruple album? Why not? E-40 already had more songs than almost every rapper. Here’s another 40 for what it’s worth, which, for My Money, isn’t much. His best songs are from his first few albums when he rapped with an array of flows/inflections. The substance is still here; nobody spits game like E-40; but his style; a major part of his allure; has dampered with age. These lazy beats and hooks also do him no favors.
