5.0 out of 5 stars finally...., December 23, 1999

By 

"maxshe" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rux Revue (Audio CD)

I often find myself liking the sound of hip-hop but the sentiment breaks my heart. I don't know if the kids would say that this is hip-hop, but whatever it is I like it.

Poetry and music. I mean daaaaaaaaamn.

This album makes me understand that I have been unknowingly waiting to exhale... what a relief!

It makes me hungry for more and I mean from many...next on my list of poets to make music CDs is Storme Webber, but as a NYer, my list is long!

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a must have cd, December 4, 1999

sharon bridgforth (austin, texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rux Revue (Audio CD)

most places list this cd as music, but it is critical that people recognize that carl hancock rux is a master poet/and rux review is a spoken word cd. carl brings the power, conviction, grace, and literary tradition of his foremothers and forefathers with new flavor and fresh funk. carl wraps language around the beat like a old-school militant word warrior with new-liberation sensibility, context and style.

i am going to buy as many copies of this cd as i can afford, and give them as gifts over and over cause i think this cd important to the future of poetry/and music (speaking of: the featured singer helga/wow what a voice)!

4.0 out of 5 stars tight, April 25, 2000

A powerful excursion beyond the cookie-cutter mainstream! There are so many artists stretching out; we must support them. Check out Bluezeum featuring Adwin, Only Child, Peace and Fire, Mos Def. 'To infinity and beyond, baby!'
