Carnival Vol. 2: Memoirs Of An Immigrant»rank: 14197par: Wyclef Jean
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Because Wyclef Jean is a more skilled eraser of musical boundaries than most, his sixth solo record skips through pop, hip-hop, dance, reggae, and rock without sounding like some crazy, over-ambitious jumble. All the way through, context--this being a continuation of the 1997 disc The Carnival and all the keen-eyed social chronicling that came with it--keeps a listener on course. But don't dip into Carnival ll expecting to come away with a tweaked conscience and not a lot more; though the songwriting is all serious business ('What About the ... |

A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing»rank: 15809par: Black Sheep
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Dres and Mista Lawnge kicked off their careers in high style as the bratty kid brothers--the, uh, proverbial Black Sheep--of the Native Tongue family. lt's not a completely deserved reputation, since the pair's debut disc is a slickly produced effort with smooth rhymes and strong beats. The guest spots are kept to a minimum, though they remain choice, especially when kid MC Chi Ali raps, 'pass the 40, 'cause my mother's not looking.' The duo's style pulls toward humor, which they try to keep understated (in their sexual boasts), ... |

Laika Come Home»rank: 16024par: Space Monkeyz Vs. Gorillaz
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Sure, Gorillaz sounded original, but it was a pop project with all the constraints that went with it--can you imagine the six-minute remixed version of 'Clint Eastwood' making it onto MTV? But that's exactly what makes Laika Come Home so good. lt's a reimagined collection filled with bone-shaking dubscapes and enough reverb to transmit a message to the farthest edges of the universe. Listen to the 'De-Punked' version of 'Punk' with its meandering, decayed trumpet and computerized tweaks--hardly recognizable as the original--or the swinging old-school ska that crops ups ... |

Reanimation»rank: 14330par: Linkin Park
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Reanimation is the evil twin of Linkin Park's 2000 debut, Hybrid Theory. While plotting their next studio album, the Southern California band enlisted some of aggro rock's leading lights, as well as some of the more enlightened underground MCs and producers, to slice and dice all the songs on their debut (including a few bonus cuts that made it to their Japanese release). Linkin Park allowed their special guests--including Korn's Jonathan Davis, Staind's Aaron Lewis, 0rgy's Jay Gordon, the Roots' Black Thought, and Jurassic 5's Chali 2NA--to run riot ... |

Eleventh Hour»rank: 9388par: Del tha Funkee Homosapien
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Co-honcho of the Bay Area's legendary Hieroglyphics collective, Del the Funky Homosapien (Teren Delvon Jones) boasts a hip-hop resume of indelibly cred-soaked pedigree. But Eleventh Hour, his largely self-produced fifth solo album--and first in eight years--lacks much of both the lyrical and instrumental verve of his best records. Committed mostly to slap-schticky attack-rap targeting one unspecified 'you' or another, Eleventh Hour feels more like 1994's No Need for Alarm than Gorillaz' 'Clint Eastwood,' the iconic Deltron 3030, or he Funky Homosapien's seminal solo debut, l Wish My Brother ... |

Pete Rock & C. L. Smooth»rank: 15930par: Pete & C.L. Smooth Rock
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This duo's place in 1990s rap is perhaps best summed up by their namechecks for the likes of Heavy D; measured and commercial, but without the unflinching avariciousness that would make mainstream hip hop so stultifying by the end of the decade. The Main lngredient is produced with a light touch, and features plenty of the melodic samples from cult soul and funk numbers, making it easy on the ears. Pete Rock's calm, authoritative vocal style helps it along no end. Those unfamiliar with the duo might do best ... |
