Free Music Notes for Mecca and the Soul Brother
Free Music Review: The One and Only Mecca and Soul Brother
Hit: 5 Stars
Alright alright lets get through this.
This cd is a classic cd no doubt with the tight production matching CL smooths laid back flow. He dwells on so many topics to keep you interested and has a big enough vocab to keep himself away from profanity(one of the biggest reasons why I like CL so much). Another good thing is that mostly each song is at least 4 minutes and theirs 16 tracks but after your going to be craving for more lol. Their is no flaws on the album and you mind as well forget it if your trying to find something this cd is immaculate. I would go on and on about the cd but their is no point to, people already said why this cd is so good.

Mecca and the Soul Brother Poster
Pete Rock loves horns the way other DJs and producers love drums. It's this obsession with funky horn breaks that sets Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth apart from regular hip-hop bassheads. With its crucial James Brown breaks layered between trumpet and sax loops, coupled with the laid-back vocals of Smooth and Rock, Mecca and the Soul Brother--their first full-length--struts back and forth on that line between rap and soul. Rock's production style is peerless, funky on "If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" and sexy on "Lots of Lovin'." Smooth's liquid freestyle delivery (notably on "Straighten It Out" and "They Reminisce Over You") has been echoed in other skilled MCs (see Common's work). And with their combined skills, Mecca stands up without ever really dating itself. --Todd LevinJazz Music CDs
