Album de la semaine: Oddisee - Mental Liberation (Un dernier bon album à écouter sous le soleil.)

Diction's Review:

@@@1/2


I'M MAKING HIP HOP LOOK COOL AGAIN!!!


About fucking time that Oddisee drops a real album, he's been making beats for everyone in the underground for about 5 years now. So he went for the producer/featurings concept that just about everybody is doing lately, but contrary to most albums like this Oddisee also raps on it. What makes or break these types of album is of course the production, and it's not really a secret that Oddisee can drop some dope beats. It's not easy being a good producer in 2009 as you can't just copy what the pioneers did, you need to innovate and be original all while sounding good. I feel that Oddisee really succeeds at that, his beats are a modern take on the hard boom bap NY style as he adds a special new touch to them all while keeping it banging. These beat are some real head nodders, he keeps it heavy and it just sounds great throughout the whole LP and he finishes things up with a jazzy cut which sounds like an Ave.To outtake. Lyrically is doesn't really have any theme, these producer albums never have any anyway, but the guests do a pretty decent job and offer some nice rhymes. But it doesn't really matter since it's a producer album and the production does shine which is pretty much all that's important here. It's definitely one of the better albums like this in a while, and also one of the better hip hop albums of 2009 so don't miss out!

Album de la semaine: El Michels Affair - Enter the 37th Chamber (Un album qui instrumentalise tout les vieux classique du Wu! Check this out)

Diction's review

@@@@

Hip Hop is a genre that has used and abused funk music, it's the foundation and without it the genre couldn't have existed. It seems like every single piece of worthwhile funk has been sampled, but what if we flipped things around here? This is what the El Michels Affair did here, a funk band playing covers of hip hop songs. Not just any hip hop artist either, the whole album features new revamped versions of wu-tang classics. It's about time that something like this happens, even if hip hop draws its inspiration from funk music, the whole funk revival thing would have never had happened if it wasn't for hip hop. What is surprising is how good the whole project is, the group is just re-creating the beats with instruments kind of like how The Roots do in their live shows but it sounds really incredible. They add a little extra touch of details in the songs, but never really too much to detract from the originals and even some of the times it sounds even better than the original instrumental. The group really knows how to use the right type of drums, music would just be much better if everyone used drums like these. The whole album is just excellent, it's not really useless like most tribute albums, this really brings out another side of the songs and it's just really fun to listen to. Anyone that digs funk, Wu-Tang fan or not, should check this out as it is simply one of the best albums of 2009.

Album de la semaine: Big Tone - The Art of Ink (Detroit is in da place! Check this out)

Diction's review:

I did check out Big Tone's debut album "The Drought" around the time of its release, but I can't say that I remember much about it. I'll have to eventually revisit it because this sophomore album is very impressive and it fits right in with the latest hot Detroit albums. Just like J Dilla and Black Milk, Big Tone is a producer/rapper that's from the D and he's got that sound of the city. While he might not be impressive as both, he can hold his own on the mic and he makes quite good beats for himself. The Art of Ink is rather short at 38 minutes but it doesn't contain any filler tracks and it just flows perfectly from one track to the next. I would definitely recommend this to fans of that Detroit sound, I don't think it will get passed its "overlooked" status, but it's one of the better hip hop albums of 2009.
