I think we can all agree that the quality of hip hop music in general has steadily declined over the course of the decade. That's because everyone is spending way too much time listening to the trash that is put out by mainstream artists instead of insanely talented artists like Wildelux. Wildelux a.k.a. Willy Stargel lays down an instant classic with his debut album "Hustlemania," giving us all what we've been thirsting for for years now. He's got pure talent, and that's the bottom line. He has the flow of Nas, the state of mind of Common or Talib Kweli, and the presence on the mic of 2Pac. His lyrics are simply incredible, his flow and wordplay are jaw-dropping and extremely consistent, and his rhyme patterns are genius. I honestly haven't heard such raw talent on the mic since Nas' "Illmatic".....................yes i said it, "Illmatic," arguably the greatest album of all time. If you've ever had the priviledge of listening to "Illmatic," that right there should tell you how great "Hustlemania" is! As great as Wildelux's lyrics are on "Hustlemania," the beats are also not to be ignored. I mean what's an album with amazing lyrics with terrible beats, right? Every beat is spectacular, and each compliments Widelux's flow greatly. Everybody that helped produced this album should be very proud of the work they did. Wildelux actually has real things to say on this album, unlike most artists in the genre today. From expressing his disappointment in today's hip hop ("Hungastrike," "Won't Die"), to the love for his son ("Journey J.B."), to displaying his incredible storytelling ability ("2nd Hand Smoked"), to his dedication and enfactuation for hip hop ("Here I Go Again"), you can't deny his commitment to the rap game. On the chorus of "Hungastrike," he raps, "What's with the songs coming out these days?/ Slapped together raps and rhymes, it doesn't pay." I know that everybody that listens to today's hip hop can agree with that, so that's why EVERYBODY needs to give "Hustlemania" a chance. Wildelux has been working on this album for 3 years now, and even though that seems like a long time, the quality of "Hustlemania" suggests that he's been working on it for much longer. I mean, the album is just THAT incredible. I think it's great that some artists out there are still keeping it real, and caring about the music that they put on the shelf. Wildelux is definitely worthy of extreme publicity and praise, but for that to happen, people need to open their eyes and realize what hip hop really is. If you are looking for real hip hop, then look no further. "Hustlemania" is the album you need. It is consistently amazing all the way through, boasting classics such as "Public Secret," "This 1 4 U," "Hungastrike," "Won't Die," "High Voltage," "Hustlemania," and pretty much every single other track on the album for that matter. Don't sleep on this album! Support real hip hop, and I promise you will not be disappointed. It is a real treat to listen to, and a definite gem in the rap game. Great job Wildelux!!!
