Official party record of '00,
This review is from: Vip (Audio CD)
Bumping beats, wonderfully lame rhymes, obscure, hilarious, and weird samples all come together to make this the one CD that should be spinning in the CD player at every party from coast to coast this summer. The Brothers totally succumb to their dance floor jones on this disc. They've obviously retreated to some alternate reality where someone is always warming up the hot tub and tapping another keg. The tracks are solid, technically stunning triumphs of style over substance... which in this case, is just fine. It sets out to be the ultimate good time disc, and in this capacity succeeds wildly. There's not a ton of depth in an absolute sense, but it's deep as far as party records go... it's a great all-ages, all races, all-world, hip-hop hybrid blast. Don't miss this one.

Rap is Music,
By
This review is from: Vip (Audio CD)
And the Jungle Brothers prove it with this release. Beyond the amazing old school flow, it's the music on this album that floors me. These tunes are structured (and properly, I might add) as actual 'songs', rather than the meandering flow of skittering breakbeats (or puffy-esque total tune theft) so prevelant today. Listening to this album for the first time gave me pause, and made me think back to when I first heard DJ Shadow. Not that the music is similar, but the feeling that whoever's behind it truly UNDERSTANDS music comes through loud and clear. I thought the Roots had pulled of the first real 'Rap Album for Musicians', but the JBeez just upped the ante. Frankly, I can't come up with a negative aspect to this album. Unless you're completely adverse to their old skool flow, you're best to buy this release asap!

Old School meets New School,
By Bryan Lazaro (Beantown, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vip (Audio CD)
I've heard bad reviews on this album and believe that it was completely unfair. People all to often claim that old school groups "sold out" (i.e. De La Soul, LL Cool J, etc..). Without a doubt this album is VERY different from the old school JB's. But listen carefully and ask yourself, "Does it lack the playful style reminicent of original hip-hop? Is it carefree? are the underlying messages the same?" Modern listeners (people who haven't listened to Gangstarr, Slick Rick, Special Ed and BYTW if you haven't then educate yourself) have their heads so far up their rear ends that they are ignorate of the roots and fundamentals of hip-hop. Hip-hop is all about progression and some people flip out if it's not directly in line with modern day rappers like Method Man and Jay-Z. JB's may not be "popping chris" or "busting gats" but they do know how to throw a jam for the summer and thats what it is all about. I mean who's to tell the JB's that they don't know hip-hop? So don't sleep on it. It's got a dance hall and house feel, and some tracks could have used a little more work but give it a listen I think it's worth your while.
