Album de la semaine: Black Milk - Tronic (L'album de l'année à date selon Diction, ce n'est pas peu dire...)

Diction's review: @@@@

Oh Wee!!!

Now this is an album that lives up to expectations. Black Milk for president! Just last year he was "the new Detroit producer" to most but with Popular Demand being one of the highlights of 2007 he made a name for himself and he's been constantly dropping projects non-stop since, from Caltroit to producing whole albums for Fat Ray and Elzhi. He's often criticized for being a Dilla clone but he's just building off his sound like about half of the producers in the hip hop industry. Anyway being Dilla influenced is a good thing in my book, cause these producers are more eager to innovate than just trying to recreate some '94 DJ Premier style beats. The main difference in production style between Tronic and Popular Demand is that he's messing more with synths this time around, kinda like Dilla was doing on some of the tracks on "Welcome to Detroit". The production on the album is absolutely ridiculous, the beats are very hard and full of details, the whole album is just bangin' to the fullest. Black Milk caught a lot of flak for his rapping on the previous album, but I thought he was dope and was definitely feeling his style. Producer rappers always get over-criticized when it comes to their rapping, they'll never catch a break with the usual "stick to making beats". However, Black Milk really stepped up his rapping for this album, he's really mastering his flow now and he just spits some ill shit. He ain't about no complex storytelling or anything overly conscious, it's just some raw lines one after the after. I wasn't expecting Black Milk to drop one of my favorite LYRICAL performances of the year, but the cat just has many surprises in his bag. This album is thoroughly excellent, definitely one of my favorites of 2008 and one that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any hip hop fan. Make sure to play that shit loud as fuck so it can destroy your eardrums. BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK.

Album de la semaine: The Mighty Underdogs - Droppin Science Fiction

Diction's review

@@@1/2

Here we have a new collaboration between The Gift of Gab, Lateef and Headnodic (of Crown City Rockers) who all hooked up to create a hip hop album. It's a nice change of pace from the last Blackalicious album which was trying a little too hard at crossing over, this one is a more straight forward affair. There's a nice chemistry between Gift of Gab and Lateef, both MC's trade verses pretty well and it really sounds like they were meant to rap together. On the production side Headnodic brings a much different sound than Chief Xcel, it's hard to really break down his production style because he uses a bunch of different style of beats but the whole project does have a cohesive feel. The rhymes are pretty tight (altho Gift of Gab doesn't really go off), the beats are pretty good so on the whole I'd say that this is a pretty nice album. If you are a fan of the old Quannum material, I think this one is worth checking out because it brings back their style while updating it a bit too so it doesn't sound like the same shit but less effective.

Album de la semaine : J-Zone presents Chief Chinchilla - Live @ the Liqua Sto (Un album humoristique trop dope!! On est vendu aux beats de J-Zone)

diction's review:

@@@1/2


Yay!!! J-Zone hasn't retired after all, he's still here to bring some much needed humor into the hip hop game and this time he's brought his sidekick Chief Chinchilla from the Gator$-n-Fur$ show. This Chief is actually J-Zone with a modified voice sort of like Madlib and his Quasimoto alias, except that Chinchilla is much nastier than J-Zone himself. The whole album is based around St. Ides malt liquor, it's all little songs like the old commercials the rappers used to do in the mid 90's. The whole thing is absolutely hilarious, Chief Chinchilla really kicks some of the funniest stories and it really makes me laugh on every spin. The whole thing is produced by J-Zone and he drops some dope beats, his usual fucked up style and it works just as well for the Chief. What's fun about this is that with the Chief alias, J-Zone can really push his humor further by saying some really nasty shit that he wouldn't normally say. Overall this is a very well executed project, it's just very fun to listen and it's great to have J-Zone back.
