Free Music Notes for Electric Circus
Free Music Review: Inspiring streaks get worn down
Hit: 3 Stars
A few standouts, (usually when female interplay is utilized) do not erase the pervading mediocrity inherent in most beats, rhymes, and sampling despite the whole rock theme. Common is still way less (common) then most rappers around, and his feminist-tinged hip-hop manifestos are always refreshing, but he still continued to refine and pursue that masterwork he seemed able to achieve.
Electric Circus Poster
Rock & roll has grabbed Common by the neck and given him a good shake. With its heavy, multilayered sound, Electric Circus is steeped in the Chicago-born and Brooklyn-based rapper's newfound love for Pink Floyd, Traffic, and, above all, Jimi Hendrix. But, like many new converts to anything, Common goes a little off the deep end. His ambitious quest to expand the boundaries of hip-hop is crammed to the gills with a thousand motifs and is a little too busy to be a complete success. Perhaps not surprisingly, Common's rhymes (sample lyric: "my mind screams like Al Green to stay together!") take a distant second place to the complex musical landscape he's fashioned. In addition, a sidereal array of vocalists (including Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Cee-Lo, Bilal, and Common's main squeeze, Erykah Badu) and musicians (Prince, Bobbi Humphrey, Nicholas Payton) add to the sonic density. All in all, Electric Circus mightn't strike the universal chord that Common sought, but it's a bold, elaborate project that's definitely worth a listen. --Rebecca LevineRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
