5.0 out of 5 stars i never would have believed that....., May 16, 2000

there would be any sort of variety in the world of Hip Hop anymore. Everything sounded so monotone, so blase, i was almost fed up with the whole genre. Luckily for me, my girlfirend's friend, kathy told us about her boyfriends group, The Visionaries. After chiding her for awhile, i decided to buy thier first album; you know, support the cause and all. And why not? I already bought a slew of below average Rap Cd's before. Galleries was definately different, and (finally) it was something new that i could get into. The new album Sophmore Jinx totally blew my mind with Creative abstract lyrics covering a multitude of topics. Let me put it to you this way: my friends who only listen to ganster rap and the (dare i say it) the hot boyz could get into their ingenious rhythm. Thank you, Visionaries for a much needed shot in the arm into a not dead, but a very sick body of hip hop

Visionaries always bringing just a little more to the table than the average bums who grab mics and think there dope and demand respect when no efforts to put in work for the cause, Simply this albums got ill tracks, from start to finish, with conscience rhymes and ill production. if you like this also peep LEXICON, SUBTITLE, BLAK FOREST, DILATED PEOPLES and more underground stuff from LA's finest... PEACE 2000 dont forget CUT-n-PASTE a sk8board vid with underground hip hop tracks from LA MC's 4 info>>> [e-mail]
