Free Music Review: He was not kidding when he said he was "gifted like December 25th"
Hit: 4 Stars
I have seen KRS-One on television for as long as I can remember, talking about hip hop and rapping in his videos. Also, when people speak of some of the best artists hip hop has ever seen, his name is often mentioned. I never took the time to listen to him with my undivided attention because I was so young when his music was popular. I finally listened to his self-titled album and was truly amazed at every aspect.
There are no weak songs on this album. Here you will find real hip-hop. Real hip hop beats that will have you bobbing your head uncontrollably. Real hip hop lyrics about both positive and negative aspects of life. For example, in "Squash All Beef", KRS is telling his listener the virtue in dealing with confrontations without violence. This is such a positive message because in hip-hop, there is a vortex of negative energy. Rap artists are constantly talking about who they have killed, who they want to kill, and who they should kill. It becomes sickening after awhile. To hear KRS say "squash all beef" was so refreshing. That song is very real and positive; I commend him for his maturity. "Out For Fame" and "Ah Yeah" are good tracks, too. "Ah Yeah" is definitely controversial, but the lyrics are so powerful.
I highly recommend this album to fans of hip-hop/rap music. I finally see the difference between a hip-hop album and a REAL hip-hop album. Because, in essence, hip-hop has more than one aspect. There has to be a certain energy in the artist's voice, the beat has to sound a certain way, and the lyrics have to hit some in some way. KRS-One passed the REAL hip-hop test with flying colors. I will definitely be listening to much more of him. 4 shining shars.
