Ink 19 :: Mr. Lif
Boston B-Boy Mr. Lif gives the lowdown on 9/11, the five greatest hip-hop albums, and the state of the world with Bill Campbell.
.... Ultramagnetic MCs, PE, KRS-One. These brothers were powerful black men, really saying something. And, of course, best of all time has got to be Rakim. OK, this is a debate raging with some of the fellas and me: what do you think are the five most influential hip-hop albums? Well, PE's Nation is the...
Ink 19 :: The Art of Noise
October 1999 :: Ink Spots :: The Art of Noise (Gail Worley)
..., narration by actor John Hurt, vocals by both Bradshaw and pop singer Donna Lewis, and a bit of stunning "modern poetry" from old-school rapper MC Rakim, Art of Noise then focused on "putting it all together in a coherent, flowing way." For this interview, Anne Dudley and Paul Morley met with me...
Ink 19 :: Goodie Mob
June 1998 :: Music G-L :: Goodie Mob (Michael Welch)
..., relates in a few rhymes and chuckles what might take self-styled intellectuals paragraphs and pages too say, making him the most talented MC since Rakim or KRS-ONE, but far more vocally expressive than either. Cee-lo alone is reason enough to buy the new Goodie Mob record, Still Standing. The rest...
Ink 19 :: Akrobatik
Balance (Coup D'Etat). Review by Bill Campbell.
...stuck her nose into the rap game, being "hard" was all about cadence and cleverness ("How do I plead to homicide? / Lyrics of fury"). The days of Rakim, Chuck D and KRS-One seem like a distant memory buried beneath the deluge of 50 Cent, Ludacris and Eminem. But, one day, their spirits -- if not their...
Ink 19 :: Funkungfusion
May 1998 :: Live :: Funkungfusion (Gregory Schaefer)
...layers. Beautiful music with a very dark and deep stream. The Herbalizer and some chubby guy played some soul and old school EPMD/Eric B. and Rakim hip hop for fifteen minutes before DJ Vadim took zee stage. Vadim started up all four turntables and mixed and scratched the shit out of them, before focusing...
Ink 19 :: Alec Empire & El-P
Shards of Pol Pottery: The 2001 Remixes (Digital Hardcore). Review by Kiran Aditham.
...today, El-P. The former Company Flow mastermind spits out verses so vehemently and fluidly, it's almost as if he were possessed by both old school Rakim and Zack De La Rocha simultaneously. If you can't understand, the a cappella mix is proof positive of this man's skills. But I was quite disappointed...
Ink 19 :: DJ DB Presents
Ever since it's inception, UK drum n' bass heads have kind of viewed the Amer...
...absolutely wicked - bringing things to a funky level, before coming down hard with a very memorable bassline, while Trade Secrets give's Eric B and Rakim's classic "I Know You Got Soul" a flanged out, hyperspeed drum n' bass workout. Acen's "Black Dawn" is a mind-blowing, hardcore jungle track with...
Ink 19 :: Supersonic
December 1997 :: Music P-S :: Supersonic (Michael Welch)
..., sensibilities often remain the same despite. There's some good stuff on Wall to Wall Moustache; some overdriven Moog snippets, some Eric B & Rakim samples, some awesome-sounding, straightforward, big beats. But the sensibilities, the way these good elements are worked in, haven't evolved. The approach...
Ink 19 :: Floetry
Floetic (Dreamworks). Review by Bill Campbell.
..., Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly Stone, etc., as distinct as the differences between Public Enemy, EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, and Eric B. and Rakim. However, sometimes, it just feels that producers working in neo-soul feel that if they take their originality down several notches from Erykah Badu and...
Ink 19 :: Brown Sugar
Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack (MCA). Review by Bill Campbell.
...mind-blowing pop song deconstructions with "Time After Time." The Roots, Hi-Tek, and Blackalicious also appear. For you old hip-hoppers, Eric B. & Rakim's "7 Minutes of Madness -- The Cold Cut Remix" version of "Paid In Full" has been added, and it still rocks the hooooouuuuse!!! There's a lot of Mos...
