"lyrically this isn't impressive at all, but the production is almost all live instrumentation and sticks mainly with the funk aesthetic. this is the type of music that i like to party to. it's got catchy hooks, funky beats, and is just fun! if you like that type of thing this'll be right up your all..."

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
CD
By:
radshoesbro on December 20, 2008
See all my reviews
"It's very rare that music comes along that is truly perfect. This is one of those rare glimpses at genius that, if you're a musician of any sort, makes you want to be better. The back and fourth between Phife and Q-Tip is better on this any ATCQ album, and the production is second to none. If for so..."

"A few of the tracks on here (That 'Ol Boom Bap Remix, School) are great! There are also some others that aren't quite as memorable but still good. The biggest problem with this album is the prevalence of Celph Titled, the guy just sounds like a dumb person that knows words that rhyme. The other prob..."

Juggaknots - re:release
CD

Gfunk on December 12, 2008
See all my reviews
"The Juggaknots provide nothing less than amazing hip-hop. Breezly Brewin is one of the illest emcees to touch a microphone, and their production is and always will be raw and original. It's so good to hear this record again. Timeless HEAT! ..."

The Foreign Exchange - Leave It All Behind
CD
By:
Gfunk on December 12, 2008
See all my reviews
"I just copped both foreign exchange albums, not really realizing what I was getting into. I thought it would be mellow vibed hip-hop, which it is, I just can't hang with all the R&B hooks and shit. I can't really see myself playing this stuff unless it was on the late night tip, but props to Nicolay..."

"I don't even know where to start... there is no way to even classify these cats, shit is on a whole different level. The only time I felt a similar reaction to an album being so unique might of been that old school Omid/Blowed album "Beneath the Surface". These guys definitely hone in on that feroci..."

Elzhi - The Preface
CD

Gfunk on December 6, 2008
See all my reviews
"This album is great. It just sounds really solid. I'm really feelin' this album! If you are a fan of Dilla/Slum Village, you need not to sleep on Elzhi's solo release. I'm loving all this Detroit shit right about now, the production being distinctly reminiscent/influenced by the original style start..."

Bicasso - For Rent
CD

Gfunk on December 6, 2008
See all my reviews
"Not as good as "Livin' Life Lookin' Out", but it's up there. I associate a lot of Bicasso's work with Legends collab. projects/albums, or on feat. crew shit. I've always thought Bicasso's style/delivery was really unique and his voice is just plain, raw dopeness. Often times I like his verses the be..."

Devin the Dude - Hi Life
CD

Gfunk on December 6, 2008
See all my reviews
"This is the album Devin heads have been waiting for! If you're a long time Dude fan, and "Landing Gear" was a little less than expected due to its overwhelmingly strong R&B influence (which I usually welcome as an accomplice to Devin's laid back style), you have got to get this album! It's just that..."

"I'm really glad I've become keen to Exile through the likes of Blame and Blu, because it sparked my interest in the Emanon album. Kind of slept on it for a while cause it's been hard to come by (even at Amoeba!). All I got to say is this shit is straight up amazing! Perhaps it's not for those who ar..."

"Much of Steven Ellison's initial but unaccredited exposure was on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. After migrating from Plug Research to Warp Records in 2007, Flying Lotus released a six track EP titled Reset. This debut album on Warp trademarked his futuristic style of using beefy drums and vibrant sa..."

"The Gaslamp Killer's third official release is mind-bending! This hour long mix is loaded with head banging breaks from Kutmah, Roots Manuva and Flying Lotus. If you're unfamiliar with GLK's unique style of mixing, just imagine the hardest hitting drum breaks you've ever heard combined with a variet..."
