all i can say is that this album is amazing, this guys are too talented, if u have a brain u better get this album.
4/5 - come back from tha precipice.....
every now and then, your earz become subject 2 such an eclectic mix of sonic elementz that, conventionally, have no bidness interminglin' in such a way. and when u take n2 account that a tenured syncopated performance poet like ahmad iz one of tha facez of this movement, it kinda makez 4 a moment not entirely unlike tha mouse that standz with hiz middle digitz extended and skyward az tha eagle descendz upon him with deliberate and malicious intent.
<br />
<br />ion blame ahmad at all: interscope screwed him over royally not once, but TWICE when it came 2 supportin' hiz vizion. even after madd commercial success with "come widdit" and "back in the day", not 2 mention numerous freestylez all over cali, he waz disilluzioned with tha industry and opted 4 a change. this began hiz affinity 4 tha precipice, or edge of tha proverbial cliff. ever since then, hiz wife tena and other peepz over tha yearz have joined him in hiz quest 2 push tha so-called envelope, givin' tha average listener somethin' refreshin' yet uncompromized. enter tha "4th avenue jones'" experience: beginnin' with "no plan b" and movin' on thru tha independently-released "hiprocksoul", they revel in bein' tha mouse that standz in front of tha industry eagle on tha swoop, yet they live 2 do it time and time again az evidenced by an international fan base, major label distribution and recent re-releasez of their archived work.
<br />
<br />havin' said that, tha cliff can only hold so much weight, and "stereo" lookz 2 b tha demize that happenz b4 they even got noticed 4 bein' there in tha first place. 4 many, this CD iz a debut, and won't b fully appreciated without checkin' out a grand deal of their previous work. i'm not generally a purveyor of negativity or a chronic naysayer, but they don't conveniently fall n2 any one genre: not hip hop, not rock, not soul. in all truth, 2day'z general record-buyin' public ain't n2 multi-genred groupz or CDz. one can't take ANY one of theze songz on their own and use it az tha face of this release - it won't work. it HAZ 2 b all or nothin' here. that kinda courage can only do one of two thingz: push 4th avenue jones' over tha edge, or make u wonder in amazement az tha smoke clearz and u find that they EXTENDED tha edge and await tha eagle'z return. i PRAY it'z tha latter. listen 4 yaself and b treated. PEACE.
5/5 - Cant get it out of my player
I had never heard of these folks, but I was watching G4 TV one day and I saw and heard this amazing song (Stereo) and had to find out more about these folks. I went to their web site and heard many of their songs. (I stayed connected for hours listening over and over, then I bought the this CD, and I might not listen to anything else for months to come. Amazing lyrics, great beats, great singing and rapping. 'Take it away' is my favorite, but I love every single song. Just check it out at their site, and you will end up getting this disk. It is awesome. |
