5.0 out of 5 stars "a gothic approach to the Ultra Magnetic classic 4 horsemen", June 23, 2004

Wow! If I didn't know any better, I would say that Ced Gee was having an identity crisis. These kids have to be high. The album is different, kind of like a gothic approach to the Ultra Magnetic classic The Four Horsemen. Dopestyle 1231 is definitely in a league of their own. The beats remind me of what you might find on a Mo' Wax Heads compilation if it was remixed by DJ Shadow. Eerie head-nodding grooves that melt the lyrics into the wax as it spins. Dopestyle's rhymes are out there, but they fit the production perfectly. The cameos alone are enough reason to cop this album. Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox) lends help on the tribute to Billy Batson and other superheroes entitled "Sunz of Shazaam," while Del tha funkee homosapian rips on "Size Double D." Kool Keith also stops in urging you to relax and pull out your "Wedgie." If you're in the mood for something different, then turn to Dopestyle 1231 and see why smoking crack can be fun.

Dark. Just the kind of thing a Hiphop head, who likes Radiohead, would be into. A realm of underworld goblins or something like that. My favorite part about this record, is the groove. The record keeps a consistent pace and atmosphere. MC Dopestyle's style is like a character in a film. He refuses to change his concepts of rhythms he prefers, which is notable. This is definitely an underground record for all the right reasons. Dont expect ur "once in a while" hiphop friends to flip on it, but its a tight album to listen to and hang out with for a while. OF course, Props to KutMasta for bringing more and more to the table. I will have to say my favorite tracks on the record have the sound of Kurt's production. So I can see an influence on Tom C. Kool Keith rocks as always, mad persona. If ur on the fence, check out the climax track, Red Baron's Day, video on www.Threshrecs.com . Its quite entertaining. Pick it up if u can find it. I suggest ordering it online, though i have my quarls with Amazon, i will say hit it up here. Aight, Peace.
