5.0 out of 5 stars Classic mix of funk and hip-hop, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Heavy Rhyme Experience 1 (Audio CD)

This CD is still one of my all-time favourites. There's something about the (still rare) mix of live instrumentation and rap that really blows up the funk. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. And how did they talk that hype lineup of MCs into the studio anyway? There's something magical about the whole project, and you can hear it in EVERY track.

If you can't remember what it was about Gangsta, 'Death Threat' has stood the test of time as an evil classic: "Bodies are thrown off boats, and doin' dead-man floats, Straight down the river, with a bullet inside his muthaf**kin' liver". Compare 'Soul Flower' to the mix on 'Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde' to hear what the Heavies bring to the table.

Holds its own with the best of The Roots and Digable Planets.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little known gem, February 18, 2000

One of my favorite albums. I've played it so many times and it only gets better. Interested sounding rappers [not like Mace] rap over some fantastically simple funky riffs. Just try to be depressed listening to the Pharcyde with 'Soulflower' and you'll be dancing round you're house by the end of it. Anyone with even a remote like of Hip Hop or funk MUST by this album, because there isn't a chance of a sane person regretting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD grooves! -- don't let EXPLICIT scare you away!, June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Heavy Rhyme Experience 1 (Audio CD)

I have listened to this CD very often for the last 6 years. One of my all time favorites. Good for those who aren't sure they like rap -- a jazzy background, and smooth (but edgy) lyrics and rhythm.
