5.0 out of 5 stars For Hip-Hop Fanatics, January 25, 2000

By 

Bebb (Los Angeles, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No Plan B (Audio CD)

This CD is one of the most exciting and brilliant pieces of musical art that I have heard in a long time. This album crosses all previously established boundries for Hip Hop. NO PLAN B encorporates a live band sound with the technology of music machines and melodic and hard core rap lyrics. This project is innovative and easy to bop your head to. Everyone I play the album for, across all racial, gender, and age boundries agree that the three lead vocalist's lyrics and the band's hard hitting music have led the group to a triumph at their debut release. The music is excellent (bangin' for all the Hip Hop heads)!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY!, February 13, 2000

This albulm makes no SENSE! I mean that in a good way. I have never heard anything so phat in a long time. This is a classic, no doubt! I'm sure it will be slept on too, but it is a definite classic. Take it from me, I am a music fanatic. Usually I like the mainstream regular air play stuff (Jay Z, B.I.G., Mary J. Blige), but I still love the underground concious music too (Mos Def, ROOTS, Common, Lauryn Hill, Eryka Badu). This is how you can capture both and be MORE than sastisfied. I kid you not DO NOT sleep on this ONE!

5.0 out of 5 stars The illest. No question, this album is DOPE., July 18, 2000

I'm not going to waste a lot of time or energy with this review -- because I want to devote more time to listening to the album.

Ahmad, is DOPE. His tenor delivery, his effective wordplay, his rhythmic control, everything. Dope.

Senoj... dope. His deeper voice counterpoints well to Ahmad's higher voice.

Tena Jones. EXTRA dope. Raps and sings with control, expression, and attitude. Lauryn Hill has nothing on this woman.

The backing band... dope. Still hip-hop, but with extra touches of strings and other live intstruments... keeps it sonically interesting without being too far out there. It's not like rapcore or anything.

I am a Christian, and I found Ahmad's lyrical focus uplifting. But it doesn't matter if you're agnostic, Jewish, Islamic... if you like good hip-hop, you will feel this album. PERIOD. No question.

I just wish they would come to my area!
