 The Rice Thresher Online | A & E | CD Reviews: fredro starr /Firestarr
Firestarr, the debut album from former Onyx rapper Fredro Starr, certainly wasn't the most anticipated of the three 2001 solo albums from the hardcore Queens trio.
Fredro was always the quietest member of Onyx, which is to say that his flow is calmer than the rantings of Sticky Fingaz and Son See.
On Firestarr, Fredro's flow is balanced with more complicated beats that fit his style better than many of the raw Onyx beats did.

Fredro has moved a bit from his angrier and grittier Onyx style on this release.
The great thing about a Fredro Starr solo album would be to hear this unheralded rapper have a greater voice in his music, but repeated cameos by other artists limit his exposure.
Fredro's beats are serviceable, and carry the album, but don't echo in your head for days the way an Evidence or DJ Premier production does.

One thing we notice is the lack of good collaborations on this album : take Mieva for example who appears on the jewelry anthem "Electric Ice" ; this untrained MC makes the track even worse.
On tracks like "What if " and "Perfect Bitch" (although the title is rather crude) Fredro Starr shows us another side of his character, more analytical and pertinent.

One third of the group Onyx, Starr is able to show off his talent more as a solo artist, and in my opinion this is a nicer release then Sticky Fingaz solo "Blacktrash The Autobiography of Kirk Jones ".
One thing that brought this album down a bit was the many guest appearances, Starr doesnt need them to carry his album, and in future releases hopefully he will have less of them.
Overall though Freddro Starr is a really gifted rapper, one of the most underated rappers in the game, and "Firestar" is a nice debut that leaves you looking forward to his next release.

However, despite this formidable hip-hop CV, for younger audiences Starr will be more readily recognisable for his acting roles in the Hollywood blockbuster Save The Last Dance and the critically acclaimed Sunset Park.

 Save the Last Dance (2001): Julia Stiles, Sean Patrick Thomas, Fredro Starr, Bianca Lawson - PopMatters Film Review
Similarly, you've also seen Derek's subplot, specifically, his longtime friendship with his boy Malakai, played by the magnetic rapper Fredro Starr (sorry, Firestarr), late of Onyx.
Starr here reprises a role he can probably play in his sleep by now -- after doing it in Strapped, Clockers, and last year's Light It Up, to name a few -- that is, the hyperactive, ever-ready-to-roll, bad-boy banger.
This business inevitably leads Derek to face a terrible choice, between his own future (college, the white girl) and loyalty to his friend during a neighborhood showdown.
