History in the Making

JR Writer finally releases a solo album on a major label. After alot of mixtapes he finally brings us a "real" album. Though I heard some of his songs on his mixtapes, some were good, others not so good, and the same goes for the album. Though I am not a huge fan of most of the Dipset crew (most are average, with Cam'ron being absolutely horrible), I give them all a shot and a listen, and the album is not all that bad. With 18 songs on here, you get 10 that are good, 7 are ok and 1 I skip. Guests aren't too heavy and are mostly Dip Set members, rapping on 6 songs and doing the hook on 1. Production is decent, nothing special though. Doe Boys do 5 songs, Knoxville does 3, Info, Antwan thompson, Justice League, Narcotics, Flaco the Great, Dame Grease, Nova, Pro V and Dutch beats all do 1 song. If you're a fan of the Dip Set I'd pick it up.#1 - 8.5#2 - 8.5#3 - 8.5#4 - 7.5#6 - 6 (annoying beat)#7 - 7.5 (f/ Jim jones & Hell Rell)#8 - 8.5#9 - 8#10 - 8.5 (f/ cam'ron -- tight beat)#11 - 9 (f/ nicole Wray)#12 - 8 (f/ 40 Cal)#13 - 5#14 - 7.5 (f/ Fred Money)#15 - 8#16 - 7.5 (f/ SAS -- who's not very impressive)#17 - 7.5#18 - 7.5 (f/ Paul Wall)#19 - 7R.

When it came out in 2006 I remmeber bumping this in my car for a month. Byrd Call, Riot Pump, Thuderbirds with SAS,Grill Em, every beat is fire, his rhyme skills and metaphors are rediculous. And to top all that off, he holds his own against Cam, Hell Rell, Juelz, Paul Wall, and Lil Wayne.

this cd is not as good as his mixtapes but i think it is still fire. i am surpriesed about the bad reviews. jr is one of the better lyrisists out. and he may sound a little like cam but every one in that set sounds a little like him. writers block 1 through 3 are very very impresive mixtapes so to anyone that is doubting writers skills needs to give thoughs a listen. the only big production name is develop on byrd call with camron which i was surprised that this was the only cam feature. and about cam yes his flow is a little dr susish but that is known thats how he is hes never tryed to change that. i personaly think its creative and at time comical. i do not think that dipset is over rated at all i mean besides d-block is there a better set right now in the north. they are a strong team of lyrisits that consistently put out enjoyable material.now more on the cd. the intro track starts off with j r tellin his story of the struggle and frusteration he went through to be down with the byrd gang. goonies has jime jones and the hardes out hell rell doin there thing and i think it is one of the tighter songs on the cd. grill em is like a dipset tear the club up song. pay homage has 40 cal flow on the track which i think he does a good job. why try is another one of my personal favorites with s.a.s. featuring. im glad they were on this dipset cd bc they were left off the last 2 projects. these 2 mc are gunna be the next big thing mega and myham are very lyrical sound mcs that strengthen the set greatly. and houstons paul wall is on track 18 raping about drank and dimonds like he always does. his flow is sick wat it dew paul.i think this is a good first album from an artist with a very bright future. if u liked this album check out writers block 1 2 and 3 it is a lyrical workshop that shows why i think j r has the ability to be one of the greats. buy the album he is sick

Why does this chick "Constant" even come to amazon this B_tch has never given a good reveiw to a rap album and its plain to see the biasness album average 4 1/2 stars yet you give it 1 star? We have a hater here plain to see but again you got a B_tch from Canada trying to crtique american rap music. How many rappers are from canada??????????? My point exactly But JR came wih some fire Killa Season was hot but not like ir should have been these dudes have too many songs to keep puttin mixtape songs on their albums but the set still puts it down Jr comes nice with the punchlines once again and the beats are different change is good sometime but the set makes their best music with the Heatmakerz yall need to get back together again and give us that fire of diplomatic immunity...

I love this LP.... Its been in heavy rotation every where I go. I ask that if you truly are a hip hop head or just wanna get somethin hot this is where ya wanna be. Is it better than his mixtapes? No. But it is a very strong following and is the best solo release from the crew at this time.

JR Writer puts out an extremely impressive debut mainstream album. He truly shows why he wears his wings. His lyricism and delvery are incredible. The beats are sizzling and there is no track that gives up. Every song is incredible. A few diplomats show up to lay down their lines, but the majority of the album is JR showing that he can rap with the best. My personal favorite is Goonies feat. Jim Jones and Hell Rell followed closely by Why Try feat. S.A.S. S.A.S. sounds eerily like Bone Thugs N Harmony on the hook on theis track. All the tracks on this album are banging placing History In the Making as one of the best albums of the year.

"History In The Making" speaks for it self. It is obvious that JR Writer has a lot of heart for music and his Dipset crew judging by this album. Every song on here is pretty good, even thought there is a few flaws here and there. Overall, a great album that shows JR Writer has potential. This album and "Killa Season" are giving Dipset a good rep. Be on the look out fot Hell Rell "For The Hell of It" after you get this one.TOP TRACKS:To Be A DiplomatGrill 'EmGooniesByrd CallPay HomeageThat's A Bet

Dipset has delivered yet another good release. I enjoyed the new albums by Cam and Juelz and J.R is most certainly a "writer". It's got good lyrics and bangin beats. I don't know if this will make my top 10 list for the year's best albums, but it certainly is good and should be picked up as soon as possible. J.R Writer is a very talented rapper that should get your supporting. Stop supporting down south garbage like D4L and Dem Franchize Boyz and get some quality hip hop.
