Free Music Notes for Righteous but Ruthless
Free Music Review: When Hip-Hop Was Civilized
Hit: 4 Stars
As a member of the Nation of Gods and Earths (aka 5% Nation) I was VERY proud of this brother when he came out. This album is, for the most part, a solid piece of work. Stand out songs are "Be Black", "The Gods Are Taking Heads" the collaboration with another group I highly recommend, Poor Righteous Teachers (PRT), and my perosnal favorite, "Universal Flag" which is so hot I HAD to go out and get this album.
I gave this album a 4 because it's not a perfect 5 in my book; it's very good, but not great. Songs like "Stunts" and "Soft Shoe Booty" take away from the overall quality of the album.
That being said, it's still a worthy purchase and brings us back to a time when Hip-Hop was not about Cadillacs and Grillz but righteous talk, teaching those who would listen, about the knowledge of self.
Peace!
