Coming off the Spit Kickers tour with De La Soul and Biz Markie to his new album, Like Water for Chocolate, going gold, it's clear that Common's message and his hip hop grooves are finally making it to a wider audience. So what is his message? That's what Nirav Soni found out, as they discussed politics, inspirations, and spirituality.
... For Life," Common's evolution as a stylist is easily charted. Like Water for Chocolate features a tribute to the late Nigerian afro-beat musician Fela Kuti ("Time Travelin'") and black nationalist heroine Assata Shakur ("A Song For Assata"). I initially spoke to Common on his way to a panel discussion ...

Talkatif (Ninja Tune). Review by Bill Campbell.
... still walks the Earth, of course; Jimi lives; and Tupac has released more albums in "death" than he had in life. But, when it comes to Antibalas, if Fela Kuti wasn't in the studio, writing the jams on Talkatif, then someone needs to get sued. Now, when I say Antibalas sounds like Fela, I mean it. I ...

Black Rio: Brazil Soul Power 1971-1980 (Strut). Review by Bill Campbell.
... late '60s/early '70s. But the dress, the attitude, politics, and music were contagious as units of Yellow, Brown, and Red Panthers sprouted up, as Fela took them back to Nigeria and invented Afro Pop, and Brazil's military dictatorship set about to systematically crush the will of its people. Under ...

Yakar (Tinder). Review by Bill Campbell.
... each stick of TNT on the track (the ballads do kind of put a cheesy damper on the whole thing, but hey!). This is the kind of stuff that makes post-Fela Afro Pop so fun. There's a verve, a joie de vivre that's damned near impossible to capture in the studio. Yet, Diop does so much more. He's released ...

March 2000 :: Page :: Mean (Kurt Channing)
... -course gourmet meal, from start to finish. Issue 6, which features Beck on the cover, has extensive coverage of Nigerian musical/political superstar Fela Kuti (including perspectives from the likes of Bootsy Collins, Ginger Baker, and Ian Mackaye, and tagged with a pretty comprehensive overview of Afrobeat ...

Volume 1 (Evolver / Kona). Review by Bill Campbell.
... , with strong African currents running throughout each note. So, don't expect exactly to get up on your down stroke. The influence here is mainly Fela (who changed his sound once he heard Brother James live and had his world rocked), especially on tracks like Mercury Dance Band's "Envy No Good" and Orchestra ...

The Bridge (Relaxed Records). Review by Bill Campbell.
... he does sound a bit like Lenny Kravitz (with whom he worked for years). And "Elephants" is a blindingly amazing Afropop cut that would really make Fela proud. At times, The Bridge can be a really enjoyable experience. At others, it just makes you long for those notorious "good old days." Denson has ...

Various Artists (Putumayo). Review by Bill Campbell.
... with their magical, left-wing touch. Supatone's "Yorulamento" belongs on every dance floor. Funkanzazenji's "Latin Flavor" sounds more like hip-hop Fela. And Los Aterciopelados' "El Estuche" is sheer brilliance. You can tell that Putumayo's working hard on a hipper, more dance floor-oriented sound, ...

In The Raw (Soul Fire). Review by Bill Campbell.
... , this disc sounds like a mixture of early, Free Your Mind Funkadelic with the benefit of later Clinton/Collins works and The Meters fronted by Fela. This is a brilliantly atavistic album that'll leave you reveling in the stank goodness of its supreme funk. Soul Fire Records: http://www.soulfirerecords ...
