Breakbeat Jazz and Spoken Word.......2006-09-09
People have been wondering how to combine estranged cousins Jazz and Hip-Hop. Here you have it: a jazz-influenced guru of rap, looped jazzy breaks from one of the best beat makers of the day.
Ra's voice flows through each piece like an expert jazz trumpeter; his timing is immaculate, his vocabulary superb, and his tone smoother Cannonball Adderly. THIS is how rap is done.
Or how some fine hip-hop is done.
This CD spawned two hip-hop classics: Know the Ledge and Don't Sweat the Technique. Listening to Know the Ledge will keep you honest, because Rakim is no lightweight compared to modern legends like Nas and Eminem. You have to respect the flow.
Other points of interest is Teach the Children, What's Going on, and the the opener, What's on Your Mind.
Perhaps clueless jazzers looking to update their medium shouldn't just take a hip-hop beat and noodle aimlessly and call it art. The compositional possibilities shown on this album, along with the amazing lyricism exhibits what jazz and hip-hop could procreate.
Eric B and Rakim at their Best.......2006-08-15
The choice of an acoustic bass, drums, and saxaphone as the groove and harmony for this record was an excellent choice. The song starts with a jazz harmony executed in a dance/soul rhythm. For "opponents" of this song's lyrics "it might take years." The lightning fast tempo yet subtle and relaxed phrasing Eric B brings to the song when he raps complements his sonic lyrical insights and the hard grooving feel of the record.
P.S. I am not sure, but in the video for this song, I think that might be Wyclef Jean playing the acoustic bass.
The Epitome of the Word CLASSIC.......2006-08-11
The word classic gets thrown around a lot in reviews, especially for Rappers and MCs who by no means come close in comparison! Don't Sweat the Technique is a CLASSIC!!! Masta Killas No Said Date is NOT. If you want REAL HIP HOP MUSIC, what better LP is there to give you the blueprint of it. From Lyrics to Beats this was incredible.
yall shud alreddy know.......2005-08-25
Rakim is the greatest rapper of all time and his 4 albums with eric b are classic. buy those albums if u want to know who true heads praise as a god of hip hop or where modern rappers always bite lines from. casualties of war was dope, i just saw the review on allmusic that was wrong. rakim spits about bein a soldier in vietnam and makes it so vivid and realistic, truly mind blowing. buy this.
thats my word
