Album de la semaine: Percee P - Perseverance (Way better than Kanye or 50... cop this shit now!!!)

Diction's Rating

@@@@

I don't think any other title could fit better, Percee P has "Persevered" and finally put out his debut album after being in the rap game for 20 years. From the first single in 1988 to the various guests appearences over the years, this album has been a long time coming. He's not messing around either he hooked up with Stones Throw and Madlib to produce the entire album. This time Madlib is in "Boom Bap" mode, with simple hardcore beats to let Percee P go off. That doesn't stop Madlib from adding his innovative touch (Contra sampling!) but I would consider this one one of his "safer" projects. The beats are very dope, Madlib [dilla]that's whats up![/dilla]. For another year he keeps pouring out dope projects one after the other. Percee P rips all the beats with his rapid delivery reminiscent of Kool G Rap, very dope voice and flow. The album is straight forward hip hop, hardcore beats and rhymes. It stays true to the roots of hip hop but manages to be very current and fresh. The results are excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this album to any hip hop fan.

Album de la semaine: Y Society (Insight & Damu) - Travel at your Own Pace (Du vrai bon boom bap tel que vous l'aimez)

Diction's Review:

@@@@

Insigth is the most under-appreciated rap artist of the past few years. Every year he releases the sleeper of the year, starting from 2002's "Updated Software" up to Electric's album "Life's a Struggle" and his excellent "Blast Radius". 2005 & 2006 saw him release 2 japanese exclusive albums with his Solo Plexus project and the Shin Sight Trio project. Solo Plexus was Insight showing off his skills as 6 diferent MC's, while Shin Sight Tro was a more jazz-rap boom bap type of album. He dug up Shin-Ski for that one, a rather unknown japanese producer but with so much talent (as he displayed on the SST album). Y Society sees Insight once again hooking with an unknown producer, this time it's Damu the DJ from Panacea. That's rigth the DJ, not the producer. I don't know if I ever heard a Damu prior to this album. This guy might be unknown but his beats are fucking outstanding. Insight saw that and snatched him up I guess. This is another project where Insight doesn't produce, but once again I'm not dissapointed at all in the beats. The beats are thick & hard with dope basslines always and he compliments the tracks with dope scratching. A strong influence in funk and jazz, this would appeal to Tribe fans. Insight raps about everyday life type shit, he's easy to relate to. He's got excellent technique, a dope flow and I love his voice. The whole album has a really cohesive sound, especially with the little instrumentals to hold the tracks together (reminiscent of "Mecca & the Soul Brother"). All the songs are dope and Insight once again proves that he's the shit. Will people listen this time? Who knows... All I know is that I'm enjoying this album a whole lot.

Album de la semaine: Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens

Diction's review

@@@@

For the hip hop heads that are waiting for the mainstream to drop a classic, y'all gonna be waiting a long ass time. The best music is being released on independent labels like Stones Throw, Definitive Jux, Rawkus, Rhymesayers & for this one Sound In Color. This is where the real shit is at mostly and it flows under the radar of the average hip hop fan. You have to look for the good hip hop, but it ain't that hard to find if you are willing to put the effort to find it. Blu & Exile might not have an impressive track record but they really put alot of effort in this album. Exile has been making beats for years for his group Emanon, but he's only starting to get noticed with his own solo album last year. Production-wise this is some of the best beats he's done in his career, the beats are really impressive. Blu is a good MC, he's a down to earth normal guy MC. This MC/Producer collabo really feels like a modern Pete Rock & CL Smooth, they have great chemistry. I'm comparing them to a 90's group but in no way are they trying to recreate them, they really have their own unique sound. This is 2007 hip hop, this is west coast hip hop. While it stays true to the essence of beats and rhymes like it's been done for almost 30 years, there's quite nothing else that sounds like this. I'm proud of the new breed of producers that are stepping up and making great albums that are made to be listened from beginning to end. Nas put out a wake up call in late 2006, the underground soldiers are proving him wrong. "Below the Heavens" is the album I wished Common would have made... I feel the passion here. Definitely recommend to all hip hop fans, this is an album that shouldn't be slept-on. Don't be surprised if you start seeing more Exile in production credits, he could become a great producer.

Album de la semaine: Rugged Intellect - Renaissance Music (The Introduction) ("Un des releases les plus importants du hip hop anglais de montreal ever", comme dirait Diction)

Diction's review...

Lyrics: 4.0
Beats: 3.0


Poor Rugged Intellect, his album gets ripped the same day as Common and absolutely no one pays attention. Pretty much all the hip hop heads from Montreal have heard of Rugged Intellect, he's opened for alot of hip hop shows lately. What stands out the most with RI is his way of rapping, a fast delivery influenced by the likes of Kool G Rap, Nas & Big Pun. He can really rap his ass off with awesome technique. Normally hip hop albums from Montreal MC's don't have american featurings, but he reached out to many legends for this one. He's really put alot of effort for this debut album and it shows that he means business. My only problem with the album is the production which is not very innovative, just generic NY beats that have been made alot before. Some of them are tight, but a few could have been doper. While Rugged Intellect can rap very well, he's not very great for making hooks and many of the songs sound similar. There's definitely more than a few dope songs but overall the album is a little long. It's a decent album but it's not really up to his potential, I'm hoping for better production the next time around (if there is one...).

Album de la semaine: Wajeed presents The War L.P. ( DETROIT IN THE MOTHAFUCKIN BUILDING! )

Diction's review:

@@@@


Think Black Milk is the only "other" good producer from Detroit?Nope!Waajeed as been doing his thing for a while too, producing for Slum Village and his own group Platinum Pied Pipers. This album is an assault of that Detroit hip hop, only that rough & rugged sound pioneereed by J Dilla. The album is mostly instrumentals but there's a few featurings from his bling47 crew too. All the beats bang hard and are quite innovative and fresh. These beats bang the fuck out the MPC as Dilla would say. Waajeed doesn't mess around, he will quickly convince you that he's a great producer. While "Triple P" from the Platinum Pied Pipers featured a smoother soul vibe, this is the opposite with a total chaotic ambience. The whole album is great whether it's the mixed or unmixed version. I strongly recommend this to all Stones Throw and/or Detroit fans, this is some great innovative hardcore hip hop.

Album de la semaine: Talib Kweli - Ear Drum (En voilà un qui a appris de ses erreurs qui revient avec un excellent album)

Diction's review:

@@@@

Lyrics: 4.0
Beats: 4.0


I somehow didn't expect Talib to come back with some great shit after the dissapointing Beautiful Struggle. "Right About Now" & "Liberation" where signs he was back in the good direction but still I didn't expect much out of Eardrum. I was pleasently surprised straight from the first listen, this shit is really good. He hooked up with an incredible crew of producers (Madlib, Kanye, Pete Rock, will.i.am, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek) and they deliver the goods for Kweli to spit his raw heat. Kweli is focused on this, he does what he's supposed to do. He speaks on a whole variety of topics, this is political and human at the same time. He got he rid of his habit to abuse the word "like" which will please haters (altho it never really bothered me). You can feel the growth as an artist and this might be the album that will put him with the legends. There are no wack songs, this is an album that's playable front to back and I'm really proud of Talib Kweli for doing so. Eardrum defines what 2007 hip hop is... but where's the Dilla track?
