Ten Years and Gunnin' (Columbia). Review by Rob Walsh.
... the Rules" from First Family for Life). Thug rap (or whatever the fuck you wanna call the East Coast's -- particularly Brooklyn's -- response to Tupac's thugisms) languishes today, and Ten Years and Gunnin' is a fine attestation as to why. The promise that M.O.P. evinced when they dropped To the Death ...

April 2000 :: Music N-O :: One Nation Under Yo! (James Mann)
... on the CD -- mainly cool as hell dudez, ranging from a duet with Fred Durst and Tori Amos -- "Check it Out, I Got a New Beeper" -- to an unreleased Tupac cut, the incredibly moving "Hell Ain't Got No ATM, Damn," will have you kickin' in style. The sooner you slap this shiny in your boom box and trip ...

Terry Eagan finds that there is no true beauty in the dystopia of the suburbs.
... At least once a year, one will kill another. The hipsters dream of being black, listening to "gangsta rap" in rooms under black light and posters of Tupac. The Mustang Petes spend all their money on getting their cars covered with Japanese decals from the state fair. The lumpy-faced daughters of hairdressers ...

August 1998 :: Columns :: The Return of the DJ (Julio Diaz)
... rap. In fact, since the original rude boys were gangsters, you could even call some of this old-school stuff the first gangsta rap, long before NWA, Tupac, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the like. The response record even used to be a big theme in hip-hop - our older readers will remember UTFO's "Roxanne Roxanne ...

Playtight (Look). Review by Bill Campbell.
... Legion is definitely in this fun-loving group. This Bay Area trio sounds a hell of a lot more like Sugar Hill Gang or Spoonie G. than Too Short or Tupac. Playtight is disco fun revisited. This is the kind of album that puts a smile on your face, a chuckle in your lungs and a terrible shake in your ass ...

Polarity (UTN). Review by Bill Campbell.
NORMAN POLARITY Stuck / UTN "Norman is the misguided kid from suburbia who thinks he's Tupac. The 28-year-old who lives at home with his mom and works in a comic book store. He's the kid who always gets clowned at school. Most of us can all relate to him on some level." Norman is Onry Ozzborn and Barfly ...

October 1999 :: Music A-B :: Dennis Brown (Phillip Haire)
... icon Dennis Brown. His recent untimely passing, shortly after Bless Me Jah was available, draws an eerie comparison to the prophetic nature of Tupac's swan song (not that there are any musical comparisons). The album cover artwork, song titles like "Take Me to the Top" and "If You Should Lose Me" suggest ...

Talkatif (Ninja Tune). Review by Bill Campbell.
... been many conspiracy theories about the supposed "deaths" of many of our favorite musicians: Elvis 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 ...

God's Son (Columbia). Review by Bill Campbell.
... Dupri, Ludracis, Jay-Z and Nelly, I would much rather listen to Nas. Sure, his thug thing (as it is, in general) is really tired (his "duet" with Tupac, "Thugz Mansion," is just abysmal). His beef with Jay-Z is just silly. I mean, he's much more talented than his rival. Why not just crack on Hammer ...

Remember the name. Shelton Hull brings us up to speed on Jacksonville's hottest rap property.
... Congressional hearings, had the Republican Congress of the mid-'90s not been preoccupied with Impeachment. Regardless of what happened to Biggie and Tupac, their deaths put many people in bad moods that lingered in the music and left mainstream audiences with a distinct concept of the industry that ...
