This Album Is Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
From the beginning to the end, this album cranks hard!!! (Pause)! Too me, there is not one weak song on there, but he do have many tracks that stands out from the rest. I won't tell all of them, but a few to name like " Tell The World", "F... Rappers", "Bruce Lee", even "Dog on Outro" ends the album on a great note. Those are just a few to name out of 20 great tracks to listen too.I really don't understand the few people on here that got all technical about how the album sounds, saying it's not that great & that it doesn't have substance!!! It's Hip Hop at it's purest form. What more do you want???? I've realized that a lot of people act like spoiled babies when it comes to listening to artist who put their heart & soul into making great albums to hear a disgruntled person talk the bs that they say!!! Just saying! I have a passion for gh I should music & being a person who likes to write from time & time again. Just give credit for where it is due!!!

Planet Asia... BBT Digging The Concept
Usually I hate albums that have too many guest appearrances because that shows that an artist can't hold their own. well that isn't the case here planet asia has more than proved himself over the years and this was a concept album that was meant to have alot of features and i have to admit it turned out to be very enjoyable. Songs like "Diamond Life" feat Camp Lo and "F___Rappers" feat Willie Da Kid make this a Hip Hop outing you will never forget. Planet Asia is so slept on time to wake up!!!if you like Planet Asia check out this guy another california unsung lyricist Consider This...Your Final Warning!!! [Explicit ]

...a bunch of rap tracks about nothing
Black Belt Theater is nothing special and it is almost purely an album without substance; it is just a bunch of rap tracks about nothing but lightly touching on martial arts. The production is rather ideal for rapping, producing a couple of bangers and a lot of head nodders. The beats from some producers are little repetitive, and it is easy to identify that individual fairly easy. Planet Asia delivers a solid performance but as stated earlier, the album is not really about anything. Planet Asia is interesting to listen to but his flow is a little off and mere average, while he is sporadic with the topics and lacks focused direction. It is a decent listen but not much is missed if you don't.
