Album de la semaine: Kool G Rap - Half a Klip (Une légende du rap qui sort un album phat? Nice!)



@@

1st listen: YES NEW G RAP!!!... damn it's short
2nd listen: The beats could have been better
3rd listen: His rapping ain't as good as before


Well that about sums it up. Fans like me have been waiting for 6 years for some new Kool G Rap material and all we get his some little ass EP. It's true that Illmatic only had 9 songs but it was just classic after classic with much cohesiveness, 2 things that can't be said about "Half a Klip". Classic songs? None. Filler? Yes, especially "Turn It Out" which sounds like a G-Unit reject. The EP has no cohesion it's just one random song after the other, it doesn't have a flow or a purpose it's just new G Rap songs. That could be fine I guess if he had picked some better beats, but his beat selection is a little weak and there is absolutely no evolution since the "The Giancana Story". All these songs sound like they could have been released in 2001, it's not really my dream G rap for 2008. Fuck Premier and Marley Marl, he should have gotten some Waajeed chaotic War beats. Now that would have been a classic! There are parts where he runs out of breath, he's not rapping at his best here. As it shows on "With a Bullet" which is a remix from one of his 92 tracks, it's easily the best track with his old school awesome flow from the classic "Live and Let Die". There are some parts where he shows signs of greatness and his natural talent/voice automaticly makes him decent but it ain't the same old G Rap. But hey he's a 20 year old veteran, so why should anyone have any expectations? Actually I can't wait for the 2 KRS-One albums coming out soon, I guess I can never let go off my legends even if they always dissapoint.

Diction's review

I always wanted to check out this group's debut album ever since I found out they where all over Madlib's Sound Direction LP. I still haven't got around to listening to their debut but this new album is a very nice way to kick things off in 2008. Connie Price & the Keystones are among this new wave of "funk-revival" bands that stay true to the original sounds of funk music. I can't really compare it to their first LP yet, but one obvious difference is the presence of rappers on almost every single track. Tha band brings the funk while the rappers rap. It could almost be considered as a hip hop album since the beats have a strong hip hop feel, but then funk and hip hop always been related. The rappers do a decent job but the one who steals the show is Big Daddy Kane on the opening track "Across the Board". To put it plain and simple, he totally kills that beat and it makes me wonder when we will finally get another BDK album. The album is a little short at 32 minutes but it's only filled with dopeness so the small length doesn't really matter. Funk and hip hop fans don't miss out on this one!

Album de la semaine: Atmosphere - Strictly Leakage (Dans la lignée des albums gratuits...Check this out!)

Diction's review

Lyrics: 3.75
Beats: 3.5


A nice christmas present from Atmosphere, "Strictly Leakage" is a free download only album that consists of outtakes from the next album "When Life Gives You Lemons". They must have recorded a ton of songs, since in 2007 they also released 3 EP's of songs that where also not gonna make the next album. Slug must have kept his introspective stories for the album cause this is mostly him acting like an asshole over boom bap beats. That's fine with me cause he does that very well and ANT drops some bangers as usual. This is a dope album and if it's the stuff that's not good enough for "Lemons" then I think we are gonna get a great album from Atmosphere in 2008.
