Free Music Notes for Pimps Don't Pay Taxes
Free Music Review: Experimental Hip-Hop
Hit: 3 Stars
If you're reading this review, then you already understand J-Zone is not your typical rap artist today. He's creative, untiring, and most of all, funny as hell. His album Pimps Don't Pay Taxes is truly an artistic hip-hop joyride. A break from the normal if you will. Why a three star rating then? It's simple, J-Zone is not a great emcee.
You can argue all you want, but the fact remains J-Zone is not as skilled as many would like to give him credit for when he's on the M-I-C. Sure, he's very entertaining, and yes, his storytelling is something 99.9% of other hip-hop artist could only dream of touching, but having an extreme gift off the M-I-C doesn't make up for his lack of skills on the M-I-C. Pimps Don't Pay Taxes is a really good album. It really is, but only if you're into creative and experimental hip-hop. Other greats like Kool Keith, MF Doom and even Outkast possess that ability to be creative both on and off the M-I-C.
As an ending result, I give J-Zone five stars for creativity, but only one star for delivery, flow and presence/charisma on the M-I-C. Thus my three star rating. This album is not a classic, so lets be fair here, and give this album a fair rating. Pimps Don't Pay Taxes is easily J-Zone at his finest, but even still, his best work isn't worthy of being "classic" hip-hop. J-Zone himself clearly calls out the "backpacker" type rap fans in this album time and time again, yet still, many of these fans give him extreme credit for making this album, and would go to the extent of calling this classic hip-hop. I simply beg to differ.
