Free Music Notes for Enta da Stage
Free Music Review: A snapshot of a '93 Gangsta
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll Admit that it took a couple of listens to truly appreciate this, but now I hold this album in the highest regard. "Enta Da Stage" is probably the most consistent hip-hop album ever made in terms of lyricism, production, attitude, and overall quality. This came out before 36 chambers, illmatic, the infamous, etc.; and in my opinion it is better than all of them. A tall statement, I know; as I hold all of those albums in the highest regard, but this is a lesson in hip-hop and even with all the noticeable clones and copies of it's sound it still cannot be surpassed.
The production is incredible, and the brilliance of it is the simplicity. Almost all of the beats revolve around a drum'n'bass loop, with little mid-range horn and piano samples underplaying the mix. The thing is, it sounds so goooooood!!!! Everything on here is a sample off of vinyl and you can feel the warmth and scratches, adding incredible depth to the beats. Original Blunt smoking music is what it is.
The MC position is held down pretty much exclusively by Buckshot, with his partner in crime, the 5ft. Excel appearing on only 2 of the 14 songs. Buckshot's flow is incredible and original, mixing slurrings with sharp punctuations during snare counts that always give me chills when I hear them. The lyrics are all angry, nihilistic gangsta musings which vary between threats and battle rap stylings. There's none of the remorse, redemption, confessions or any of the other gangsta rap cliches on here, this is just buckshot threatening you with your life, and for some reason it sounds beautiful.
