Free Music Notes for Strictly Business
Free Music Review: You know you have made a classic album when.......
Hit: 5 Stars
You have heard most of the beats on it and it wasn't from listening to this cd. It seemed every time I heard a beat I could link it to some rapper in the 90's. People have named a few the only one I didn't see was Warren G. He used the strictly business beat on one of his songs on his second album. I personally don't like 80's rap, its to corny to me. All that check one, two and you don't stop, sucka mc's, fresh in the place to be crap doesn't move me at all. The only 80's rap I messed with is Rakim, NWA, and Public Enemy. These rappers have a more agresive vibe to them, I like that. The 90's hands down is my favorite era of rap, Wu Tang, Dr.Dre, MC eght, Spice One, Deathrow Records period, Celly Cell, Redman, Bone Thugs, Scarface, Group Home, Boot Camp Click, Master P in his westcoast bad boy days, Mic Geranimo in his the Natural days, hell even Fat Joe first two albums before he sold out. I like that I don't give a F raps. But back to this, this is now added to my 80's rap I can stand list. For and album 20 years old it holds up really well the flow is still pretty good, they definatly seemed as though they where mold in the next decade to come than the decade it was released in. Good old skool joint,as people always say if rap could get back like this I would feel it more. Peace
Strictly Business Poster
Imagine a time in history when artists didn't have to clear any samples in their music. EPMD's 1988 debut, Strictly Business, like the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, was recorded during the clearance-free sample heyday, and we're all a lot better off because of it. Long before Dr. Dre and Digital Underground were doling out legal cash to George Clinton and Kool and the Gang, EPMD was sampling them--and others--brilliantly on tracks like "You Gots to Chill" and "It's My Thing." (They even double-sample "Jungle Boogie," using it on both "You Gots to Chill" and "You're the Customer"--that takes some damn nerve.) The EPMD production sound gets in your pants and moves things against your will, making Strictly Business an essential time capsule from the Wild West-era of sampling. --Todd LevinRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
