5.0 out of 5 stars REMEDY SHOWING AND PROVING WITH SHARP SWORDS 4.5 RATING, May 1, 2001

REMEDY'S ALBUM "THE GENUINE ARTICLE" SHOWS HOW EXPANDED AND DEEP THE WU FAMILY REALLY IS. REMEDY COMES STRONG FROM THE OPENING TRACK THE REMAKE OF PINK FLOYD'S CLASSIC "EDUCATION" WITH RZA. REMEDY'S SKILLS IS ILL, VIVID, DARK AND TRUE. HE ALSO PRODUCERS HIS WHOLE ALBUM EXCEPT THE LAST TRACK "WARNING" WHICH IS PRODUCED BY THE ALWAYS DOPE 4TH DICIPLE. REMEDY NOW JOINS A CLASS OF ILL WHITE BOYS TO MC(AND I DON'T MEAN LIKE EMIENM)INCLUDING EL-P, NECRO, HIGH AND MIGHTY, EVIENDENCE. WHICH ARE ALL ALSO ILL PRODUCERS. THIS IS TRUE HIP HOP AT IT'S FULLIST AND BREAKS DOWN COMMERICALISM IN RAP-HIP HOP MUSIC. THE ONLY NEGITIVE THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS THAT AGAIN LIKE SO MANY WU ALBUMS IS SHORT. ONLY 13 TRACKS AND 1 "NEVER AGAIN" IS ON THAT SWARM ALBUM. BUT REMEDY SKILLS AND PHAT PRODUCTION MAKES IT DOPE ANYWAY. I THINK THE WHOLE ALBUM IS TIGHT AND MAYBE ONE SONG "WHITEBOY" COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. GO COP THIS ILL UNDERGROUND JOINT IF YOU LIKE REAL HIP HOP. IF YOU ARE INTO THE MATRIALISM RAP CRAP(JAY Z JA RULE TRICK DADDY RUFF RIDERS CASH MONEY) THEN YOU WON'T LIKE THIS ALBUM AND MAYBE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DOES NOY LIKE HIP HOP. NEXT UP FOR WU-TANG CREW IS SUPPOSED TO BE KILLARMY, BOBBY DIGITAL, GHOSTFACE, MASTA KILLA NEW ALBUMS. IF ALL THOSE COME OUT THEN EXPECT WU-TANG TO BE RIGHT BACK ON TOP OF THE GAME. THE WU-FAM IS LARGE AMD WILL LAST FOREVER..... PEACE ALSO GO COP THAT CANNIBAL OX PRODUCED BY EL-P FROM COMPANY FLOW ON MAY 15 GOING TO BE A REAL BANGER.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow, a white Jewish rapper..., January 15, 2003

I would have never thought possible that there would be another white rapper besides Vanilla Ice. Eminem and Everlast came along. I would have never thought that there would be a white JEWISH rapper. Being a Jew, I gotta give this guy mad props.

I heard the "Never Again" track on the Wu-Tang Killa Beez album and it's one of my favorite songs ever. It's got such a great message and when I played it for my grandpa it brought tears to his eyes. I'd never seen him cry before, and he told me what a great song it was. And it is.

I also love the track "Hip Hop Music" cuz it's got a sweet beat to it, I love the bit of rock-n-roll mixed in to it. The track "Education" is another great one, I like the kids in the background of it. "White Boy" is a good track too, it's pretty funny. Good music video too.

If you're a fan of the Wu-Tang cru, this is a must have album by one of their best rappers. Also, if you're Jewish, I suggest peepin this too or at least downloading the "Never Again" track because it's a GREAT song.

REMEDY'S FIRST SOLO ALBUM "THE GENUINE ARTICLE" SHOWS HOW BIG THE WU FAM REALLY IS. REMEDY BRINGS YOU THIS NEW JEWEL AND IT IS BLAZING. FROM THE OPENING TRACK A REMAKE OF ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S CLASSIC SONGS "EDUCATION" WITH RZA. REMEDY HAS ILL LYRICS AND GIVES YOU MAD KNOWLEDGE TO LISTEN TOO FOR THE 2001. REMEDY ALSO PRODUCERS HIS WHOLE ALBUM HIMSELF EXPECT FOR THE LAST TRACK "WARNING" WHICH IS PRODUCED BY THE ALWAYS ILL 4TH DICIPLE(WHICH HE AS ALSO A NEW KILLARMY ALBUM READY FOR JUNE). REMEDY IS A HOT PRODUCER AND DOES AN ACCEPTICAL JOB ON HIS ALBUM. REMEDY IS NOW AMONG THE REAL HIP HOP WHITE BOY CLASS MC'S(I DON'T MEAN EMIENM)EL-P. NECRO. NON-PHIXION, HIGH AND MIGHTY, AND EVEIDENCE FROM DILATED. ALSO ALL GOOD PRODUCERS AS WELL. REMEDY'S WHOLE ALBUM IS BLAZING(COULD HAVE RHYMED A LITTLE BETTER ON "WHITEBOY"), BUT THE REST HAVE WU HEAD BANGERS ON IT. HE ALSO BRINGS NEW ARTIST TO THE TABLE LIKE SOLOMAN CHILDS, A GOOD FEMELE VOCALIST SWEETLEAF, LOUNGELOE AND CLOCKA. HE ALSO HAS CAPPADONNA ON TWO SONGS INCLUDING THE BANGER "GIRLFRIEND" AND HE HAS THE RZA ON A SONG. THE ONLY NEGITVE THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE ALBUM IS THAT LIKE MOST OF TODAY'S WU-TANG A LITTLE ON THE SHORT SIDE ONLY 13 TRACKS, INCLUDING A TRACK "NEVER AGAIN"(WHICH IS AN ILL SONG)BUT WAS RELEASED IN 98 ON THAT SWARM ALBUM, BUT REMEDY'S ALBUM IS CONSIDERED BY ME AS A WU-BANGER.(BETTER THAN CAPPADONNA'S NEW ALBUM WHICH WAS DISSAPOINTING). WU-TANG AS LOTS OF JOINTS SURPOSSED TO COME OUT SOON INCLUDING KILLARMY IN JUNE BOBBY DIGITAL AND GHOSTFACE NEW ALBUMS IN JULY. MASTA KILLA SOME TIME THIS YEAR AND NEW RAEKWON IN AUGUST. IF ALL THAT COMES OUT FOR WU YOU CAN COUNT ON WU-TANG TO BE BACK ON TOP OF THE HIP HOP GAME. GO PICK UP THIS REMEDY ALBUM IN THE MEANTIME BECUSE IT'S REAL HIP HOP UNDERGROUND FOR YOUR EARS TO LISTEN TOO. IF YOU LIKE ALL MATRIEALIST RAP CRAP(JAY Z, JA RULE, RUFF RIDERS, CASH MONEY AND TRICK DADDY) YOU WON'T LIKE THIS ALBUM AND MAYBE DON'T LIKE REAL HIPHOP AT ALL. IF YOU LIKE ILL LYRICS WITH JEWELZ AND PHAT PRODUCTION GO PICK THIS JOINT UP. ALSO ON THE UNDERGROUND SCENE COMING PICK UP THAT CANNIBAL OX "COLD VEIN" (WHICH IS PRODUCED BY THE ILL EL-P FROM COMPANY FLOW) OUT MAY 15. PEACE
