I used to dig this group. I had this on cassette and lost it - I refuse to buy it again - meaning, if I lost it, I probably don't need it again, unless someone wants to buy it for me! hint, hint!!!Free Music Review: TO THE EAST MY BROTHER.........AND THEN SOME!!!!!

PXO & Sugar Shaft [5 Stars]

There isn't a whole lot that I can add to the other reviews. This album is definitely one of the best albums (rap or otherwise) to come out of the 90's. I could go into specific songs and talk about how funky they were, but if you were around to experience their sound when they dropped in '90 (or have bothered to read the other reviews) then you know how dope they are. Grand Verbalizer, Funkin' Lesson, Shaft's Big Score, Tribal Jam.....I mean, the list just goes on and on.
As far as imperfections, there are none on this album. It may sound a little dated, but in my eyes, that's a good thing. I mean, really, when is the last time you were in a club and heard a funky jam that also tried to uplift who you were? My only beef is that the album is only 11 tracks deep and just under 48 minutes long.
Anyone that knows hip hop acknowledges the X-Clan as one of the dopest acts to come out of the 1990's. It you haven't heard To The East Blackwards, then go pick it up and quit sleeping
As many of you already know, Professor X died from complications from Meningitis this past March [3-17-06]. I wonder if X-Clan will still drop the material recorded during their comeback attempt this year (the Return From Mecca LP). I'd love to hear what they would sound like in 2006. Though Sugar Shaft (who died from complications from AIDS in '95) wasn't as vocal in the group, it's all but impossible to imagine what they'd sound like without Professor X The Overseer. R.I.P. PXO [Aug. 4, 1956 ~ Mar. 17, 2006].
Standout Tracks: Verbs Of Power, Tribal Jam, Raise The Flag, Earth Bound, Heed The Word Of The Brother, Funkin' Lesson, Verbal Milk, Shaft's Big Score (My Favorite), Grand Verbalizer What time Is It?, and In The Ways Of The Scales

Classic material, if only they had made a 2nd classic. Brother J had a good flow.
