3.0 out of 5 stars
So slept on that... well, this may never be read?!, September 22, 2007
This review is from: Fables (Audio CD)
The Nobodies are a North Carolina duo consisting of MC's Equinox and Apocalypse... this is DIY rap for those hungry to hear cats making music THEY actually would want to hear rather than what could get them a big record deal. The beats here are gritty and feature a nice use of samples from Nas, Mobb Deep, KRS and more laced throughout to give it a classic feel. Only one R & B chorus shows up on the album but even it's forgivable due to the strong balance of lyrical content. As far as the actual rhyming goes, Apocalypse and Equinox are both well above average MC's with distinct voices and delivieries(plus a guest spot by Esau on track 2... CHECK HIS ALBUM, you'll thank me later!) and spit on a few different topics but mostly about how underappreciated they are and how hard it is to make it (basically being "nobodies" in the world of rap). This is one of those albums that you like to pop in once in awhile but it never leaves any real distinct impression on you... it's just good solid beats and rhymes(and that's all you can ask for sometimes). They followed this up with an even better album called "Now Culture" in 2003 but haven't been seen anywhere except on a milk carton since? Fingers crossed for something new in the future.
