This review is from: 1982 (Audio CD)

I just picked up 1982 today and I only listened to it once, but after the first listen; sh*ts fire! I can't decide which is my favorite song on it yet. If any one reading this has never heard Termanology spit or even one of Statik's beats, go get this right now. I was expecting great things from this release because Statik Selektah's beats are always complex(one of the best doin it) and Term's lyrics just flow together. I don't know how Termanology is not on a major label yet. Even the guests list is nice. Cassidy, Reks, Xzibit, Bun B, M.O.P, Saigon, Inspectah Deck, Freeway(rips it), Styles P, Masspike Miles, and Jared Evan. Nice list and not too many people to take over the album, just enough. People need to stop sleepin on Boston hip hop and Term reps to the fullest as he always does. If you like this album, I suggest you pick up Statik Selektah's first album "Spell My Name Right". CLASSIC! Also pick up Termanology's "Politics as Usual". This is what hip hop should sound like, not that bouncin with a hook and garbage lyrics. Term and Statik you a SHOWOFF. Boston STAND UP.

Statik and Term are the sickest duo since pete rock and cl smooth. This album is one of the freshest cd i picked up in 2010. If you do not have this album, you need to cop it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, raw yet melodic hip hop from the heart, November 14, 2011

This review is from: Statik Selektah & Termanology Are 1982 [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

I first heard these two collaborate on the GTA 4 Lost and the Damned soundtrack on 'Here In Liberty City' and have been steadily bumping that since. An insane beat combined with deft lyricism dealing with the in-game doppleganger of NYC known as Liberty City resulted in a track far better than anything it needed to be. So when I found Statik Selektah and Termanology had a full album collaboration I figured they had earned enough good will to give them a try, and I was more than happy with the results. From the intriguing cover and title, the two set out to let you know this is a personal album invoking the year both of them were born - 1982. While reverent of the hip hop of yesteryear, they wisely decide not to copy a 1980s sound. Instead you have a very modern soundscape. Statik Selektah's beats are all excellent and Termanology is such an amazing lyricist that combines intelligence, humor, pain and love. With a journalist's eye for observing our society, Termanology drops insightful and real lyrics while perfectly rhyming Statik Selektah's diverse selection of beats.

Guest spots from Lil Fame of MOP, Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan, Styles P, Saigon, Reks, Xzibit, Cassidy and others are all exemplary as well. Get the first track 'World Renown' and try and resist checking out the rest of the album.
