Busdriver "Fear of A Black Tangent" Album Review
Saving grace
There are those who insist that "real rap" is dead, that it was killed by R&B and Gansgsta and Crunk. They are the ones who stopped listening.
Busdriver gives hip-hop a new direction with rapid-fire, esoteric lyrics with a sophistication and intellectualism that rises above the collegiate Chubb Rock; like Professor Griff without the agenda.
"Unemployed Black Astronaut" is the showcase track here, a catchy tune with a sing-along chorus that deep down unloads double cynical barrels on mainstream hip-hop, major labels, even racial and urban-cultural divisions. He continues his lament against both mainstream music and cultured music critics with "Reheated Pop Sensation", a song-length prostration parody.
Even Busdriver's own adoptive subgenre of music is fair game for the rap critic of rap, with "Avantcore" glibly mocking the contrarians of underground/alternative hip-hop. The album ends with remixes of three of the album's showcase tracks.
No, rap is not dead, it never died, you just fell off. Time to get back on the bus.
