Free Music Notes for Blunted on Reality
Free Music Review: Not the Fugees you now know, but still alright. (3.5)
Hit: 4 Stars
When you listen to this album, it's just so hard to believe this is the same group who gave us The Score. That record was brilliant and is still one of my top five hip-hop albums that I own. Where that one had them showing a bigger range of songs and had social commentary-style lyrics, this is them making a totally different record, like it's another group maybe. Almost everything here is strictly hip-hop influenced, and of the early-'90's variety.
I would argue that this is not really that classic though, unlike aforementioned album. It's just hard to believe that this group is trying to pose as thugs here, although they hadn't yet gotten to where they later went, so maybe that's forgiveable. At 18 tracks, there's quite a bit of "interludes," although "Blunted Interlude" works more as a full song than an actual interlude. And it's one of the better tracks on here. There are hints of what to come, but it's not THAT obvious. "Vocab" has some acoustic guitar that we'd later hear from Wyclef, especially solo. "Some Seek Stardom" which is mostly Lauryn Hill, was the closest thing to a taste of what was to come. It's about the only song we get to hear her SING on. That one is one of the few with a message, one about knowing where you come from.
Overall, it's actually good, but just don't expect it to be overall AMAZING like what you had come to know. It's pretty cheap though, and I got mine for a nice used price. It's worth hearing at least a few times; just don't expect it to be quite as varied and groundbreaking.
