  • quality hip hop
    author: Nathan Poole

    great jams to get you that back in the day, old school hip hop feeling. Worth checking out if you enjoy listening to what their saying.

  • just an observation
    author: nc

    The DJ here has straight up stolen the beat for The Power of Words from Betrayal by Gang Starr.

  • DJ Alex J's delivery of Intelligence combined with musical textures and tones. C
    author: Mitchell Lopate-www.amazon.com

    This is where the dictation connection of rap can find its Higher Purpose: DJ Alex J's delivery of Intelligence combined with musical textures and tones. Consider this food for the Sophisticated Cool. Anyone who can throw "abacus" into a sentence has the tools that need your attention; that's U Dig Da Mental in the co-Pilot's seat. Pump it along with sound effects that are Cosmically Connected--and dig that machine-like whine keyboard on "The Power of Words." Want more mood? It's got a Carribean-like bass tone that supports the social philosophy of "What Is Black?" The D.O.R. use a less-is-more muted fluttering electric piano and jazz guitar to lend some air so you "Don't Sweat It": another great sample of a Thinking Man's creative touch. Follow the map of this rap and "Let it Go." That bird singing on flute is your guide; the Deviants are your Leaders. The percussionists take over on "Maxine" and the free-spirited happiness of "The Art of Mind Travel" was made to toss at a party. C'mon, slice it and dice it.
