Negative Positive
Title: i'm biased
Review: jay dee has always made ill beats...so when he decided to make an album, it was only a matter of time before i got it. this is not your average instrumental lp, much like the pete rock "petestrumentals" with beat generation, which is equally impressive in its own right. dilla enlists detroit rappers such as frank-n-dank, elzhi (slum), & blu for example, as well as himself, to provide the album with some substance. i've always loved the gritty sounds he brings to the tables, as well as his experimenting with new-age sounds. gems on the project for me include "think twice", "rico suave", "shake it down", and "y'all ain't ready". the lyrics may be a lil' bland, but if you can appreciate great beats, then you'll love this cd.
Is the review positive or negative?
