Free Music Review: This is a slept-on 5-star classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
Where do you start with one of the greatest groups of all-time DE LA SOUL?? They came out in the late 80's under the mentorship of the great producer Prince Paul(who was in a great group himself-Stetsasonic)...they were part of the collective "Native Tongues"..which included A Tribe Called Quest...the Jungle Brothers....Queen Latifah and Monie Love to name a few....In other words this group has been "doing it" for a long time...This CD dropped in 2004 and thanks to the Amazon hip-hop forum I was lucky enough to be put up on it in 2007...it just took me a little bit to actually get around to writing a review and here it is:
First of all over the last month I haven't taken this joint out of the cd changer...and to think that I was one of the people who thought De La didn't have the passion anymore for this hip-hop thang....I was WRONG and big time at that:
Madlib,Super Dave West,Dilla(RIP),and 9th Wonder handle the production, that should give you a clue right there that this is going to be an extremely fun ride...
Hip-hop fans will gravitate towards,"The Future","Verbal Clap","Much More" with the DJ Premier intro,"The Grind Date","Church","It's Like That" with Carl Thomas on the hook,"Days Of Our Lives","Come On Down","Rock co.CaneFlow" with MF Doom.....these are my favorite joints on the album but actually there are no bad ones on it....If you notice I haven't gone into complete detail on the tracks and that is because I want you to form your own opinion on them...but I gave you an overview of the producers on it and the tracks I'm really digging...anyone that knows REAL hip-hop already knows that is an all-star line-up on the beats and when you combine that with a veteran supergroup like DE LA SOUL, then you understand that this MUST be a part of your hip-hop collection.....GET IT NOW!!!
The Grind Date Poster
Not only does De La Soul reach a milestone by releasing their seventh studio album, but The Grind Date is their most consistent, cohesive effort since 1996's Stakes Is High. For starters, the team of Supa Dave West, Jay Dee, Madlib, 9th Wonder, and Jake One create a gorgeous collection of tracks for them, ranging from the stirring soulfulness of "The Grind Date" and "Church" to the twitching tenseness of "Rock Co.Kane Flow" and the unabashed funky party on "Verbal Clap." Neither superficially commercial nor stubbornly underground, The Grind Date sounds as though De La have retuned to their own wavelength: provocative lyricism that's forward-thinking without sounding preachy, positive without sounding na?ve. While so many of their peers have fallen by the wayside, Posdnuos, Dave (f.k.a. Trugoy), and Mase sound more robust than ever, joined by guests from the underground (MF Doom) and the middle ground (Common). Fifteen years after their head-turning debut 3 Feet High and Rising, De La show renewed life and vigor. --Oliver WangFeatures Guest Appearances by Sean Paul, Spike Lee, Ghostface Killah, Common, Mf Doom and Carl Thomas.
