Hit: 5 Stars
I remember coming home from middle school and running straight to the remote and changing it to channel 44....BET's RapCity with host Big Tigger. lol. Well they had a video to a song called "Luchini" by a group called Camp Lo, i was instantly addicted to this 70's style Coolie high type of song. Like I was blown away by the horn riffs and the catchy hook that I had to get the album. $11.99 was alot of money at 14 years old. But soon later after mowing lawns and cleaning toilet bowls I was able to save up and get it. But I can honestly say that it was worth sticking my hand in toilet water because this album CHANGED MY LIFE!. Growing up listening to 70's LP's my parents had, I was always a fan of the 70's sound ranging from The Commodores, Jermain Jackson, Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder that this album kinda brought the sound back with a more hiphop vibe. Sad to say this group ended up catching the sophmore disease and released a couple more albums quite mediocre to this one, but hey, cant complain, this album is beautiful.
Uptown Saturday Night Poster
While they aren't the first to do so, Camp Lo's Sonny Cheeba and Geechie Suede make a direct appeal from hip-hop's current generation back to the blaxploitation era on Uptown Saturday Night, which recrafts the up-tempo, party atmosphere of the swinging 1970s, resplendent in the musical and cultural iconography of Harlem- and Bronx-style blaxploitation. Even for listeners who never watched Shaft, Superfly, or The Mack, Camp Lo's songs carry themselves with a cool air of slick styles. As critics have noted, Cheeba and Suede's lyrics are often nonrhyming barrages of key blaxploitation terminology that--read conventionally--actually make no sense, but their spitfire pacing makes up in style what their verses lack in content (which is actually a pretty good description of blaxploitation, if you think about it). Much credit needs to go to producer Ski (who was also the musical mastermind behind Jay Z's impressive debut, Reasonable Doubt), who shows a smart sampling ear with bubbly pop tracks that are infectious enough to rock the party while still appealing to hardcore hip-hop heads. --Oliver WangPop Music CDs
