Hed PE - New World Orphans Music Review
By RipperEagle
Rating: 3.4

I guess I can’t say I am surprised by what I heard on this album: nothing has changed for Jahred and his soldiers since 2005, their first release since they left Jive Records which was entitled “Only in Amerika.” Released on January 27th, “New World Orphans” takes on the usual subjects: drugs, punk rock, hip hop, sex, rape, killing, taking on the government, and the future horrors of life. Not all of the subjects are good, but it could be done better if they were executed like they should be, but never are. Also, there is a discrepancy between the songs on the back of the case and the number of songs on the CD: the disc plays 26 songs, yet only 24 are present on the track listing.

1. New World Intro (N/A)
-The first, but definitely not the last, political samples introduction
2. Live or Die Free (4)
-Fight the power and the government song is just 1:59 which is good.
3. Bloodfire (4)
-Another fast paced fight the system song: ends with a near minute of MLK samples being used by DJ Product.
4. Ordo (AB Chao) (4)
-Rinse and repeat: features funny intro telling President Bush to come out because he is under arrest: chorus a rip off of “Suffer.”
5. Stay Ready (4)
-Featuring Dirtball, how about ANOTHER political song? Yeah, surprise I know.
6. Family (4)
-Quick 2:45 number, finally something not based on politics.
7. Stepping Stone (3)
-It’s time for our songs of rape! Chorus with the song title is the only saving grace.
8. Renegade (5)
-Probably the best song on the disc: just a song about beating the shit out of people!
9. Everything All The Time (2)
-Dumb intro, bad attempt at “rap”, chorus is lame, and yes, more rape!
10. Mortgage Crisis Intro (N/A)
-Ever wonder why we can’t afford a mortgage? Well, listen to this one, ha!
11. Middle Class Blues (4)
-Way too short (1:44) and it’s actually a good song.
12. Flesh and Blood (4)
-Fight the power, blah blah blah…sounds like “Let’s Ride”.
13. Nibiru Intro (N/A)
-Some science talk or something I think…
14. Planet X (4)
-Mainly an instrumental with some scat lyrics here and there.
15. Higher Ground (3)
-Uh, wow it’s time for hip-hop: featuring The Kottonmouth Kings.
16. A Soldiers Intro (N/A)
-A solider talking about what he saw in Iraq.
17. Tow The Line (5)
-Second most sincere song on the album: bring the soldiers home!
18. Self Aware (3)
-Very odd song, sounds like Jahred is about to die for the first two minutes.
19. Lost History Intro (N/A)
-War, gods, and space beings…uh yeah.
20. This Love (5)
-Most sincere song on the album, it SHOULD have ended here: hip-hop number.
*21. Work On This (2)
-Uh yeah…this features Tech Nine, but it’s STILL fucking garbage!
*22. Babylon Fall (2)
-More fucking garbage.
**23. Bucky Lasek (3)
-Only a three because it’s 1:33: good and features some words from Obama.
***24. Girlfriend (3)
-Not bad, but not good.
***25. 4SmokazOnly (1)
-This don’t even fucking sound like this band PERIOD. Fucking garbage.
**26. Don’t Fuck With Us (4)
-This is really good for only being 2:06: sounds like Biohazard.

*Bonus tracks
**Demo songs
***These songs are never shown on the track listing

Wow...thanks for the rating on that one...now I know which ones to download and which ones to stay away from....but I fucking love that Renegade song.......

What would you classify their music genre as....? You didn't put it in the title......I might say Metal.....even though there is rap...a lot of metal bands have a rap feel to their singing....

Sorry! They call themselves "G-Funk" which is actually punk rock and hip hop...so I will change that.

» Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown (Punk Rock)
» Saliva - Cinco Diablo (Southern Rock/ Hard Rock)
» Green Day - Dookie (Punk)
