Jeru the Damaja - Wrath of the Math (1996)

"this album was created to SAVE hip-hop and the minds of the people who listen to it"

so it says in the liner notes and so i introduce the sophomore album of Jeru the Damaja produced entirely by the amazing DJ Premier. Premo laces up some funk nuggets on this album which Jeru thoroughly rips apart, torches and smokes. Like his debut album Jeru brings the conscious lyrics and never settles into any hip-hop stereotypes. Premier brings those characteristic boom bap drums and from listening to the beats on the album it is easy to see why Premo is Premo. Diving in...

First five tracks are all great especially, "The Frustrated Nigga" & "Whatever."

On "The Frustrated Nigga" when that guitar, or whatever that is, kicks a second after Jeru starts flowin theres not much you can do but let that head start noddin. Flowin without fear because yaa know

"nothin can scare a nigga, after 400 years of this shit."

"Bullshit" is one of many tracks on this album throwing some satire at money grubbing, materialism but on this track Jeru does it by rapping as if he has become what he most loathes in some kind of funky nightmare soundtracked by DJ Premier.

"Whatever" has a mellow ass beat with the topic of not getting dragged down by all the wackness. Whatever ya do make it clever. I mostly just like that vocal sample Premo uses "and to all ya'll crews.... whatever" good ass diss stinging like nettle

I got to say that my least favorite track on this album is pretty easy for me to choose. I just can't get into the beat for "Physical Stamina (ft. Afu-Ra)" it's a little robotic and eclectic for me.

"One Day" is about how puff daddy kidnapped "hip-hop"

Pretty much the sole reason I made this post about this album is because I've been diggin "Me or the Papes" so damn much. This beat right here is ridiculous and that piano loop just drives me nuts all day. from just thinking in my head how it sounds, it gets me smiling and thinking about some silly ass chick tryin to use me and me just laughing her away from me. silly imaginary skanks. if you gain anything from this album let it be that if you play this song when I'm around I'll melt.

Ending with "invasion" about racial profiling cops. even though I love cops to death, I somehow still like this track. especially because of that outro beat with that nice orchestral loop or wind section or something.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Slum Village - Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1

This here was a released in 1997 and is the debut album of Slum Village. Jay Dee, T3, and Baatin from Detroit all flow with impressive mic control over some of the smoothest and earliest J Dilla beats released. This album is part demo so it has that vibe but it is filled with awesome tracks. I think that almost anyone can find a favorite track on this album.

At this moment "I Don't Know"........

Perfect use of James Brown vocal samples throughout the the track intertwined with smooth flows along mellow groovin beats with those Dilla drums.




or "Rock Stuff"

Short but sweet . Savage song structure and some burnin flows "fuckin up instrumentals." Hard and bangin' over sweet guitar or vibe samples? who can tell me? keyboard!? i think thats what it is.

or maybe its "Beej en em"......

DJ Shadow

Heard of DJ Shadow? Hip/Hop producer and DJ. Excellent producer and DJ. Always brings some large beats to the table. Sequences them up so funky. Here are 3 EPs of his featuring some material that you might not have heard before and some that you might have. Two of these EPs, High Noon and Stem feature some tracks that appear on Shadow's debut Endtroducing... while the third, Lost & Found (S.F.L.)/Kemuri, is a split EP featuring the Japanese DJ, DJ Krush on the latter track. Definitely some gems in here.

"High Noon" is a sweet track featuring a guitar riff which drops out to a solid break and keys section. A fairly typical DJ Shadow instrumental which in my opinion is most often a good thing cuz at least you'll be able to hear some awesome drums.

The vocal sample in "Devil's Advocate (Heaven v. Hell - Bonus Beat)" says it all. It's all about the beat on this track. Many various other instruments and sounds come into this track but it is the drums that keep it going and when the track strips down to solely drums the track really stands out.

"Stem" features some more electronic sounding beats. The other version of stem, "Long Stem" uses part of the sample from "Organ Donor" and is a good alternate mix to the original. Much more drawn out and without the enormous drums in the original. Upgrade IMO. "Red Bus Needs To Leave" is once again another chance for DJ Shadow to show off his drum sequencing skills. Finally "Why Hip Hop Sucks In '96/Soup" feature the same beat but with different vocal samples. This time I'd have to favor the album cut.

The final EP features the awesome DJ Krush and you can hear his influence in both his cut and Shadow's. I'd have to say that DJ Krush's track gets my head nodding quicker but Shadow's track on this EP is one of my favorites of all 3 EPs.

Overall just a bunch of solid tracks from a couple solid EPs by a couple solid artists.

Ya'll know Madvillain right? Well ya'll best be knowin about the producer Four-Tet cuz its for your own good. And a nice easy way for all ya'll to do this is through a remix by the producer Four-Tet of the Madvillain track "Great Day"? Make sense? So ya'll should take a listen to this sick track because it is my favorite track off of the Four-Tet Remixes of Madvillain EP. The song builds incredibly and is powerful shit with some phatty breaks ya'll.

Project Polaroid - Project Polaroid (2006)

Comprised of Kool Keith (of Dr. Octagon) and TOMC3, Project Polaroid is one of my favorite Kool Keith releases. The production is similar in style to Dan the Automator so the album does end up sounding somewhat like Octagonecolagyst and that is definitely not a bad thing in my opinion.

The "Project Polaroid (Intro)" sets off the album right. Just from the intro you can get a sense of Kool Keith's lyrical style but mainly TOMC3's beatmaking and scratching skills. After about the 1:20 mark the track is an instrumental featuring TOMC3 on the wheels of steel and he tears it up. Solid. Real phat drums.

"Diamond District" has got that groovy bass line goin for it and Kool Keith just sounds so damn mellow on the mic. His flow is so relaxed and he drops creative ass lines that no one else could pull off.

My epidemic is formatted with static dramatic
The baddest P.I. supreme, P.I. with steam
The 104th Street walker, a.k.a. beat walker
The sharp unique walker
Overtonin drinkin Corona, sidestep a evolution scheme
Pro-calistheticssss... boost, credits from the duration
Illustration tough, illustration rough
The plaid stay sharp as a pencil, designed with a 3-inch
cuff
Operating drastically, I still active be
And octave see ozone
I'm comin through Technic trebles and pro tones
Actually in pro tone

"Rhyme That Quit" is similar in structure to the intro in that it starts with a flow and then breaks off into some scratching. Keith raps about a wack MC who is pushing his rhymes up a hill but his rhymes quit on him and roll back and crush him. Interesting topic and sick choir samples for the beat.

"Midwestern Shoe Calhoun" is another solid track with some piano and guitar samples. I just wish TOMC3 would loop that sick ass electric guitar loop a little bit more. It loops 2 times then disappears and I wish it would stay longer. The outro also features samples from that tight movie with Robin Williams in it "One Hour Photo."

I was impressed by the solid performance throughout by Kool Keith and this release helped restore my faith in Kool Keith after his more recent upsets. The production on this album is a departure from the style that Keith has been pursuing since Dr. Octagon and I like the direction that Project Polaroid is heading in. Good shit from TOMC3 and Kool Keith.

The Beta Band - The Three E.P.s (1998)

The Beta Band is a scottish group of fellows whose career together lasted from 1996-2004 with a discography comprised of three E.P.s and three L.P.s. This album is a collection of their first three releases (which by the album title you could probably speculate were E.P.s)

• Champion Versions (1997)
• The Patty Patty Sound (1998)
• Los Amigos del Beta Bandidos (1998)

One of my favorite tracks on this compilation is the first song "Dry the Rain." The Beta Band are often labeled folk-hop for their blend of mellow acoustic guitars and sick drum beats and "Dry the Rain is a very good display of the Beta Band's overall style. Starting off with some sick guitar and shakers until around the two minute mark those drums kick in and then it just keeps building. Adding in more and more guitar tracks more and more shit starts happening and the whole track seems to start swelling up and then around 3:30 that bass gets damn funky and then those horns come in and then the final layer comes which is the perfectly suiting lyrical refrain:

If there's something inside that you wanna say
You can say it out loud it will be okay
I will be alright, I will be your light
I will be your light, I will be your light

I need love
I need love

That build up is just so fucking religious at the end it makes the weight of the world feel just a little bit lighter.

"I Know" is a mellow song with a funky tambourine drum loop some guitar and some beeping sounds and thats about it and it rocks the whole way through.

"Dog Got A Bone" has no phat drums but does have a cool accordion sounding instrument and a bunch of vocal tracks on it. You can't really complain because the harmonica solo comes in after the three minute mark somewhere and the vocal tracks keep on layering and building up. A real chill track that builds up nicely without relying on the funky drumming.

"Monolith" is one trippy ass song that explores multiple genres. The beginning starts off with some ambient sounds and some vocal loops. Then the drums fade in and out and the song even goes into a Middle Eastern or Indian sounding beat and then they use like some scratched up dog bark to create the beat around 12 or 13 minutes. Sick percussion throughout this track.

"She's The One For Me" builds up until the 4 minute area and then those crazy altered pitches keep repeating the song title while the drums and guitar just go off. Good shit right here.

Overall, the Beta Band are a very experimental and creative genre defying band that explores many new structures, styles, and sounds. I think that my favorite E.P. at this time would probably be their first, Champion Verses, because lots of my favorite songs on the album are from this E.P.

The D.O.C. - No One Can Do It Better (1989)

Some classic old school hip hop right here on this album. Before Dr. Dre worked with Snoop Dogg or Eminem he produced this album for his very first protege the D.O.C. The D.O.C. previously helped ghostwrite and appeared in some skits on a few N.W.A. albums before starting his solo career. The production on the entire album is fairly similar in style to Dre's previous work with N.W.A. However, the D.O.C. generally stays away from gangsta rap topics despite his close relations to N.W.A.

Kickin off the album strong comes the banger "It's Funky Enough" and not to worry, the song title is misleading in no way at all. In other words, there is a damn funky ass beat and some fresh lyrics all over this bitch. Strong flow from the D.O.C. on this track and you may recognize the very first line of the album (Ya'll ready for this?) from numerous basketball games in the 90's.

"Comm Blues" is a song/skit that is a blues jam featuring a female singer and some other fools talkin. Semi funny and pretty damn bluesy. One of the better skits around.

Right after that nice interlude comes my favorite track of the album; "Let the Bass Go." What a funky ass beat Dre and what a stylish flow throughout. The halfway point of the song comes with some classy Beastie and other various samples and then guess what? Dre drops that bass again and its funky as fuck FYI. I really dig the acapella intro at 2:25 before the last verse because every time that funky beat drop again I go ddeeeeaaaaaamn son.

"Beautiful but Deadly" is a throwaway track to me but the little sound clip at the end is worth listening to though.

First track of side 2, "The D.O.C. & The Doctor," is another winner mainly due to the phat ass on this beat. The beat just kicks in so funky and Dre runs it.

Finishing strong featuring Ice Cube, Eazy E, and MC Ren, and DJ Yella (who contributes live drums) from N.W.A. comes "The Finale." All three guest MCs have strong spots but the standout verses come from Ice Cube in the first verse and the final verse by the D.O.C.

Unfortunately, this was the D.O.C.'s last album he recorded before his vocal chords were damaged in a car accident and his voice was permanently altered as a result. The D.O.C. is still rumored to be helping Dre work on his long awaited new album 'Detox.'

Count Bass D-Dwight Spitz (2002)

Count Bass D is a producer/MC/DJ/piano player hailing from Nashville Tennessee. If any of ya'll heard of him it would most likely be from the sick verse he dropped in Potholders on MM... Food with MF DOOM (who is actually featured twice on Dwight Spitz). You also can hear him mention DOOM multiple times throughout the entire album. He's got a sick ass flow and some production skills to match.

From the opening track "Jussa Playa" you can get an idea of the kind of awesome production that is all over this album. Dwight Spitz is comprised mostly of short songs and short instrumental skits. "Say No to Drugs" is a perfect example of Bass' humorous sampling style using a sample from a sugar advertisement. Count even sample his kids (Cana And Hezekiah) voices on a couple of these instrumentals.

"Sanctuary" has to be one of my favorite tracks on the album. Count Bass D totally rips it up on the mic over the hypnotic and mesmerizing beat.
EDIT: Zack just clued me into why this track might be so hypnotic and all. It's gotta be that Doors sample of Jim Morrison repeating "Can you give me sanctuary?" fucking legit shit man.

DOOM comes in on the track "Quite Buttery" and shreds like always but this time over some Bass D beats and pianos. Pretty short and sweet track.

Another stand out track is "Seven Years" featuring Dionne Farris. Count flows about his wife and three kids not trying to hide his status as a family man and tears it up at the same time. And those fucking oboe's he sampled are fucking genius.

A few tracks fall a little flat but overall Dwight Spitz is an amazing album throughout containing great production, fitting instrumental interludes, solid guest spots from Edan, J Rawls, and DOOM, and of course sick flows from the Count himself.

Can-Tago Mago (1971)

Can is a band from West Germany that was formed in 1968. They are often classified as a classic example of "Krautrock," an underground German experimental rock genre, although most bands which are clumped into this genre resent the term. But isn't that what usually happens with terms like that?

Anyway, the album is overall pretty much straight forward jammed out rock and roll. Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground, kind of rock and roll. You know the type. I guess you could even say these guys are a little prog rockish but you can say a lot of things. Most of the songs do feature some sick and funky drum beats as well, which are hard to hate.

"Halleuhwah" is an epic stand out track for the album. It originally took up a whole side of the vinyl edition of the record when it first came out. The song is composed of a series of build ups and then slowing down and returning to a groovy beat followed by another build up and so forth. In the first 5 minutes the drums are fucking ridiculous so look out for that. After the drum tangent, it calms down and then goes right back into another funky ass beat. Then once again is another build around the 7 minute mark this time introducing some gnarley as strings. Somewhere around 8 and a half minutes the vocals come in and fit in real well. blah blah. Pretty much funky drums and an epic 18 minute jam all in one.

"Oh Yeah" is another sick ass track with some backwards vocals at first then about halfway switching at the 3:20ish mark it goes into a mellow yet funky beat with some suiting vocals. Damo Suzuki (frontman of the band from 1970-73) has a pretty sick ass voice and I think it fits well on this track especially. And then once again the band breaks off into another jam session this time with the guitar taking the main roll, but you still can't deny those drums.

The beginning of "Mushroom" sounds a little like the Flaming Lips "Take Me Ta Mars" to me. I wonder if anyone else hears it? But later on there is some crazy percussion and like always those phat drums.

Well, enough talk more rock is what they so have a listen:

First Post

Benson Edles is starting up a music blog again folks. Gonna start putting some highly recommended albums on this blog o' mine. It'll probably be all over the place genre wise. I'll be posting about albums that I think people I know should check out and hopefully they will. Posts will be semi-frequent I'm guessing about 2-4 albums a week but I'm not making any promises. Could be more, could be less. If anyone else wants to post a contribution thats fucking swell so talk to me about it. If not, then that's why I didn't ask you. That's about it for the introduction so I hope you guess dig what I've been digging.

Peace.
