Album de la semaine: KRS One & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives (C'est tout chaud, une réunion de 2 anciens du rap qui en fera sourire quelques uns et qui en fera pleurer d'autre...)


Opinion de diction....

@@1/2

Lyrics: 3.25
Beats: 2.5


KRS & Marley Marl squash their 20 year old beef and unite to bring the real hip hop back. After giving us 2 hot singles the album looked very promising but it fails to deliver the goods. The problems are from both artists. On one side you have Marley Marl who's one of the most influential producers of all time but who hasn't really been active in the past few years. He's got to adapt his style to the new styles of the ever evolving hip hop genre, but can't really seem to make good beats. Apart from a few songs the beats are terribly average. On the other side you have KRS-One who's arguably the greatest MC of all time, he's had one of the best careers and he's still active hot off a pretty good performance from last year's slept-on "Life". I was expecting an equal or superior performance, since he's got the peoples attention with this project, but instead KRS brings one his laziest performances of his career. He still goes on and on about what he did he was there, I am real hip hop, blah blah blah, he's getting a little repetitive... Of course there is a few exceptions like "Kill a Rapper" which is a great track about all the unresolved murders of rappers. "Rising to the Top" has KRS explaining his motives being the whole beef and how it was stupid. I like the honesty of a now older wiser man. But most of the rest of the album falls up short lyrically, too much braggin about past achievements, it's not bad but it's not really the reasons why I loved KRS in the first place. This is one of those albums that could have been great but just ain't... A major dissapointment from 2 of my favorite artists.
