Advantages: An energetic and musical piece of Hip-Hop excellence; near-flawless Disadvantages: Those couple minor flaws...
As long as I can remember, Mos Def has been one of the most respectable, entertaining, and skilled emcees ever. In the early 90s, Mos began to make a name for himself due to the legendary Soundbombing and Lyricist Lounge compilation albums; released by Rawkus Records. In 1998, Mos Def and Talib Kweli teamed up for Black Star, a classic album which would smash all barriers of creativity and hip-hop musicianship. Soon it came time for Mos to drop knowledge on his own, and in 1999 finally released Black on BothSides. Mos is one of the most talented emcees in the game when it comes to variety and creativity, and he was out to prove himself here.
"Hip Hop" is perfect. Diamond D's energetic and proud trumpets, precise sampling, killer bass, and skillful scratching serenade the listener into complete awe, and Mos Def's breathtaking lyricism ...
Advantages: Calm, mellow, occaisionally chilled album Disadvantages: One or two poor tracks
An interesting collection of tracks make up this album. The majority of tracks are slow, with a few being more upbeat. This album isn?t a happy album, mainly due to the fact that it was written at around about the same time as Phil Collins? marriage ended.
It is evident that Phil has spent a lot of time on this album and that he is one of a very small amount of artists who like their music to be perfect. Every instrument you hear has been played by Phil, which shows how fluent he is in different types of instrument.
THE TRACKS
There are 11 tracks on this one disc album. Most have a similar theme to another, that being the standard combination of love and life which we come to expect from Phil Collins.
1 ? BothSides Of The Story ? An upbeat opener to the album with the trademark Phil Collins drums, this is not a bad song ...
Advantages: Very relaxing and atmospheric Disadvantages: Maybe lacks a little variety
Phil Collins must be one of the most talented and respected people in the music business. I hadn't heard much of his music before except some of the material he recorded when with Genesis. I didn't expect what I got from this album. Its got a few good songs on it but the problem is that they do sound a bit similar. I don't really find this too much of a bothe rbut some people would. Theres a good deal of listening in the cd. Can't Turn Back the Years and Theres a place for Us are my two favourites but only a couple of the 11 tracks aren't worth listening to.
The lyrics are great. All the songs deal wiht either a story or a principle so even if you don't like the music it is interesting to listen to the words. Most songs take a little while to kick in and when they do its great. The effetcs on the keyboard really add to the whole sound ...
