VARIOUS ARTISTS - DEFINITIVE JUX
Various Artists "Definitive Jux" Album Review
Def Jux Presents, Vol. 3 - reveiw from New Zealand!
To start, EL-P aka EL Producto deserves alot more respect for his work on this record.
Unlike the vast majority of reveiws, I rate this album.
Its not just the efforts of 1 or 2 MC's that make it dope, its a good sample of quality jux as a label,and after a few spins you'll see why. I give it the 4 stars solely on the fact that it could have been compiled in a better order or maybe a couple of other tracks added to the mix. Overall its a must have for any indie hip-hop fan.
FETTES BROT - AM WASSER GEBAUT
Fettes Brot "Am Wasser Gebaut" Album Review
Brilliant German hip-hop
Some German hip-hop is borderline neo-Nazi and some is vapid mumbling about the artist's favorite sweater, but Fettes Brot is clever, tuneful, dancy, and thoughtful. "Emanuela" is unlike any hip-hop song from America--you'll have to invent a whole other form of dance to keep up with it! But note--you can get this for $8 on ITunes, and hear it beforehand...

SUBTITLE - YOUNG DANGEROUS HEART
Subtitle "Young Dangerous Heart" Album Review
This is what Mainstream - Hiphop should sound like..
Unfortunately, mainstream-hiphop is really bad. I really hated the whole genre 'hiphop' because of 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and the other clowns. This is sublime hiphop. Exiting and interesting beats and soundscapes, first-class-rapping and the experimantial feel these guys have. They have a few lesser tracks, but most of them are great. My favourites are 'Leave Home' with a guitar in it, 'Cray Grazy' wich is the most relaxing hiphop-track ever (great track to drive through the nights), 'Serial Boxes' wich has great beats and best for last: 'Killer Drones On Street' wich has an amazing chilling and mysterious sound, the intro gives me chills and scares me a bit, great atmosphere..
But don't worry, the other tracks are certainly great too, this is an album that every hiphop-fanatic should have in his collection, let those idiots listen to G-Unit and other morons, you have this!
