Free Music Review: This Album Was Ultra Hype
Hit: 5 Stars
I have heard Ursala's voice on The Roots albums and Slyk 130 and I always wondered if she had produced her own material. I stumbled on this album and is was worth every nickel. Every track on this CD is hype. This CD straddles the nexus between Spoken Word, Neo-Soul and Chill Out Music. If you buy this album you will be playing it over and over again. This album is supreme.Free Music Review: Ridiculous.
Hit: 1 Stars
Def poetry spam on plastic. You wade through each selection'spreachy diatribes wondering when/if the music is going to start-this is simply not my cup of tea. Talking loud, but saying
nothing. Bruthas if you come home to your lady and hear this
cd on in the background or Sade's Lover's Rock, just turn around
and come back when the drama clouds blow over....

Hit: 5 Stars
A wonderful melange (her word) of feelings,thought,voice,and music. Ursula Rucker has compiled a very powerful and soul felt series of songs that touches on our past,present,and future experiences as Black People in America. Her poetic justice is to be applauded and her rhythmic beats grooved upon.I came across a website reading the back cover of the newly released JazzyFatNastee CD and went to see what the site contained..and there she was..I clicked and listened and immediately went about the business of purchasing Ursula's CD. I was very disappointed to find that it wasn't to be released for a week or two. *sigh* So I pre-ordered it and patiently awaited its arrival. MUST I SAY THAT I AM EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THIS CD! I have become an avid fan of Def Poetry and for those of you who are as well this is one you MUST have in your music collection! It's ALL THAT and more. She is a very skillful poet,fluid,and concise. Her message is of hope and dilligence and brighter tomorrows along with a deep reverence for our past. I've told everyone I know to buy it..NOW!Free Music Review: A spoken word CD for people who don't like spoken word CDs

Ursula Rucker gives us a downright interesting record here. If you think you've got her all figured out base on her slight offerings on a few of the Roots records, you're missing out. Here, she is fully produced and stretches a lot more than a poem a year on a hip-hop record might lead you to believe. In fact, her music really makes the record, lifting it well above the pale of poetry CDs on the market (what few there are) when her poems don't.Is she the greatest poet in the world? Of course not. Her messages are often a little too obvious and preachy and her voice doesn't hit too much above her regular monotone anywhere near often enough, but man, does she know how to pick the song for the job. On tracks like "Womansong" and "7" she is working fully within her range and making great tracks out of good rhythmic and stylistic ideas.
In fact, the music on this record is so consistently good that you'll often find yourself circumventing the poem for a soul music fix. Her tracks are informed by the recent bump in attention to actual soul music like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and D'Angelo. The tracks are smoothed-out funk, and you can tell she's from Philly by her choices. Great stuff here, and not radio pap. You could put the music for "7", "Brown Boy" or "Letter to a Sister Friend" against almost any groove on the radio right now and watch her sales soar. Alas, radio's not that brave, and the record is just this side of too old for the short-attention span of the medium anyway. Sad. On the strength of the music on this CD, the album made it on my list of the best of 2001.
The King Britt-co-produced track "Spring" is almost worth the price of the CD by itself, and considering you probably won't get it anywhere else but off this CD, go ahead and treat yourself. It's a beautiful song amidst an album of pretty great grooves anyway, so you really can't go wrong here. This is the album that Saul Williams should have had, or at least had its theories applied to.
