Free Music Notes for To the East, Blackwards
Free Music Review: ill
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this album when it came out I was a junior in high school and this album literally sounds better than 90 percent of the music out now. Krs-0ne and x-clan had sort of an intellectual beef when this album dropped they went back and forth on some philosophy type rebuttal records (SEE "Sex and violence" by KRS) that was crazy. Anyway album is a great buy if you want to know where hip hop was 15 years ago. Buy the way this has been protected.....you know the rest.

This album is a must for anyone who wants a great rap CD in their music collection. You can't X-Clan on any online music store like iTunes or Sony or MSN. When I first bought this on cassette when I was in high school/college, when it originally came out. I was probably the only white guy in my City listening to X-Clan. I just found out that I lost my orignal cassett copy I bought back in the day. I just purchased it on CD without hesitation. This is album is THE JAM.Free Music Review: SCALES OF THE BLACKMAN WEIGHS IN THE LIVING!

When I was 17, this was it for me and my boy james, we lived X-CLAN. I still have this on tape and cd as well as XODUS. In the words of Brother J and Professor X, " This is protected by the Red, the Black, and the Green, on the road again, SISSY" ! GO COP Brother J solo, Professor X solo Queen Mother Rage solo and Isis solo releases, SISSY!Free Music Review: One of my old school favorites
Hit: 5 Stars
X-Clan's To the East CD is classic old-school pro-black hip hop. It's also one of my old favorite CD's from my hip-hop-only teenager days.
The group was pro-black and very militant in their look and attitude. The militant part doesn't really flow into the songs so much as the pro-Africanism does.
Brother J is a great frontman; a great mc with a great delivery. Professor X was the group's version of a more-educated more-pro-black Flava Flav.
X-Clan was never too popular even in their best days, but it was still good stuff. A personal favorite of mine...this one is better than Xodus, which is still good too.

Wow. I was on my way to lunch with a co-worker when she popped this CD in. It was familiar sounding to me. I vaguely remember seeing X-Clan's video on The Box back in the day so I was intrigued. I dubbed a copy of my own and have been playing it like it was produced last month. I thought after listening more closely to my own copy the music would sound dated...it doesn't. It's intelligent and I find it refreshing to hear some hip-hop, rap lyrics that are talking about booties, ho's and bling-bling with the latest R&B singer doing the hook - so played out and the reason why the whole genre has turned me off lately.
One must take the lyrics with a grain of salt. X-Clan is definately in touch with their "Blackness" to the point of being militant. But their focus is on everyone, including persons of color who have a "gansta" mentality.
Now I'm off to support the group and buy a real copy.
