WHILE NOT AS ENJOYABLE AS THE FIRST, STILL STRONG FROM THE PINK CADDY!!!!.......2007-01-25

now i did not enjoy this one as much as the first one, but it still hits in its own special way. i do not know what happened after this one, but i know this, they will never be forgotten by me. the one that does it for me is FIRE AND EARTH. this is like a bee with too much sugar at the right time. i wonder sometimes what more they could've done if they had kept it together, man. we will never know now. once again, RIP, professor x.

Some people man...just don't understand, you either get X-Clan or you don't.

Those that do will forever rock their praises for being among the best pro-black/afro centric/political/socially conscious groups ever (up there with Public Enemy and Poor Righteous Teachers). Those that don't, seem to feel that their music lacks tight lyrics and that Professor X is annoying...so be it, X-Clan didn't make music for you sissies.

The X-Clan's main members are the infamous "Grand Verbalizer Funkin'-Lesson Brother J" (lead vocals and production), "Baba - Professor X The Overseer" (vocals and production) and "The Architect Traxtitioner Paradise" (production). This trio made being pro-black funky, and "Xodus" their follow-up to the incredible "To the East Blackwards," picked up right where the 1st album ended. "Xodus" radiates the same messages found in the first album, but X-Clan seem more confident in this album. The beats are still super-funky (lots of P-Funk), but more smoothed out and less hard-hitting - don't get me wrong, I think it sounds better and as a result this album BUMPS smooth, funnky beats while Brother J tears the mic with more passion than ever. In fact, one of the best aspects concerning the X-Clan is that the two MC's Brother J and Professor X are very different and unique - I hate it when every member of a group sounds the same. Brother J has an incredibly unique deep-bass voice and despite the fact that his lyrics won't make you lick-a-shot in the air, his flow is top-notch. I know alot of people who hate on Professor X because "he doesn't rhyme," and/or "he just talks," etc. Sissies. Professor X is the X-factor that makes the X-Clan who they are. His smooth vocals add flavor and I find his unique presence fitting to the tracks. No other group has successfully produced a non-rhyming, Overseer who went on to release 2 (yes, two) solo albums.

So either you love it or hate it, personally I funkin' love this album. If you haven't heard "Xodus" (or the X-Clan) before and are a dedicated fan of old-school Hip-Hop, I strongly suggest you find a way to get your hands on this (and their first) album. If you listen with an open, prejudice free ear - I bet you'll be calling people sissyyyyyyy in no time.

Bottom Line: It's truly not for everyone, but I back the X-Clan and especially "Xodus" 100%. This album is a classic, 5 Stars, Peace.

PROFESSOR X ANNOYING?.......2005-01-26

YO never mind that other guy reviewing this and TO THE EAST BLACKWARDS on the same day as me, but this is a must have in the X-CLAN collection. DO NOT SLEEP on the solo releases, boy I'm telling you, if you are or were true to political hip-hop, don't SLEEP!
