Free Music Notes for Desire
Free Music Review: I'm disappointed in you Pharoahe!!!
Hit: 3 Stars
I am a slave for real hip hop. Pharoahe has been off the seen for almost a decade. However he comes back with his new album "Desire" where we see Monch attacking different topics such as guns, violence, terroism and girls can't leave out the honeies!! But my knock on this album is that we have fifty million conscience rappers talking about screw Bush, and the war on Iraq, and freedom its like I get lost in this album because I myself don't support none of that stuff (but that's a topic for another discussion let me get into the album)! The production on this album is a little inconsistent and the choruses on some of the songs like "Desire" and "What it is" were kinda over sung and irritating. However, this still is a solid effort from Pharoahe with songs like "Free", "Welcome to the Terror Dome", "So Good", and "Bar Tap" keeps the album respectible. "When the guns are Drawn" is the biggests highlight of the album as he draws closely into the mind of a gun. However, clearly falls short from his first classic album, but still a good cop and a solid effort from Pharoahe.
3 1/2 stars. Still better than this RINGTONE MUSIC that's out now!!
Desire Poster
From its short, choral intro through the plodding opening cadence of its first proper song, "Free," Desire clearly shouts out Pharoahe Monch's topical preoccupation with freedom. The track progresses predictably enough, dropping references to Harriet Tubman and emancipation with the recognizable delivery Monch's been developing since he entered the scene with Prince Poetry (on the eponymous Organized Konfusion) in 1991. Borrowing from Public Enemy, the criminally under-sampled Millie Jackson, and others, Monch's rotating stable of producers supports his lyrical workouts with compelling variety. "Push" and the nine-and-a-half-minute closer, "Trilogy," feature stacked and wandering horn lines, respectively. "What Is It" omits the beats for a hissed chorus out of far left field. "Body Baby" bounces along on hand-claps and finger-snaps like a contemporary Will Smith cut. Erykah Badu adds oohs n' aahs and a lovely chorus to the feel-good message of "Hold On," the album's most radio-ready song. Elsewhere, a few forgettable fillers--"Bar Tap," "So Good"--stud the latter half of Desire, but after the eight years of singles and guest verses since his solo debut, Internal Affairs, these 13 songs combine for a welcome return to the Pharoahe Monch catalogue. --Jason KirkRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
