(featuring Wade O. Brown)

This CD is basically a collection of Maestro's best works plus his best new stuff (indicated by a *)

Any fan of Maestro will surly be pleased with this CD. Whether you grew up with his old school work (when he went by Maestro Fresh Wes) or you like his more recent rap style, like I do (now he just goes by Maestro), this CD offers the best of both. It has the best selling Canadian hip-hop single of all time 'Let Your Backbone Slide' (although its not my favourite), and other brilliant old-school tunes like 'Drop the Needle' and 'Stick to Your Vision'. You notice the changing of his style such as in 'Poppa Stro' and 'Perseverance' that is no doubt the result of rap evolution. Westcoast and Eastcoast 'gangsta' style rap is reminiscent in his new stuff like 'Heat Seekerz' and 'Criminal Mind'; these are the songs with the hot beats that you crank up your bass to! But Maestro isn't a gangsta, his lyrics are intelligent and thought provoking; such as his cry for peace overseas in 'God Bless Da Child'.

I only recently discovered Maestro when I heard his single 'God Bless Da Child' on the radio a couple years back. Since then I learned of his great influence on Canada's rap industry and knew I had to buy at LEAST one of his CDs. This is the perfect CD because it was just recently released and can still be found in stores (unlike his older releases), I'd advise those interested to buy it ASAP before it's gone. It was a great price and I was not disappointed.

Maestro is probably Canada's greatest rapper to date. He basically represents Canadian rap, the only other Canadian rapper I've heard on radio is Kardinal Offishall. However, Maestro has been in the rap industry since the 80s and he's still got it! Maestro is strong and able to adapt to the competitive rap industry. Like I said earlier, this CD is a collection of his best classics and his great new works. Hopefully this isn't his last CD and he'll still rock Canada for years to come!

If you found my review helpful, please vote yes. Thanks!

Common "Be" Album Review

Becoming
The lyrical sense of Common on "Be (Intro)" embraces time and hope of a future and freedom over an orchastrated arrangement of instruments. From the concrete jungle of the streets, "The Corner" featuring The Last Poets, give statistics of violence and the lifestyle of the ghettos. Including witty contents such as "...now I roll in an Olds with windows that don't roll / down the road where cars get broken in and stole..." give vivid images of the surroundings. "Go!" is one of the highlights of Be with the subject of exploring sexuality and experiences over high pitched keys. The two verse "Faithful" where depth unheard of in the genre with verse one Common questions spirituality and beliefs of God being a woman. The second verse is about monogamy challenges of men and the struggles overcoming temptations. The scene set in a court where a woman "Testify" has the verdict making front pages throughout the trial. "Love Is..." expresses the power of the word giving and feeling it to change lives missing in this genre as a message. Both "Chi-City" along with "The Food (Live)" highlights lyrical delivery as Common has long been noted for. The multi-layered horn section of "Real People" gives a jazzy feel to complete the feel of the album and its direction. Attacking gossip on "They Say" featuring Kanye West & John Legend directs anger of media and what listeners should believe. Closing with "It's Your World (Part 1 & 2)" featuring The Kids reaching goals and living out dreams. As nine of the eleven tracks were produced by Kanye West with strong singles for a solid album as a whole. Common showed on Be the growth and his maturity expressed in a genre that is oppressed and plagued with self-indulgence. Thank you.
