老实说，《The Minstrel Show》是听过几遍才喜欢上的。大概是先入为主的影响，认为Little Brother（LB）转投大公司Atlantic后不会有什么作为。我想我是忽略了LB最为关键的一个人：Super Producor本名Pat Douthit的9th Wonder。《The Listening》让LB迅速窜红，而9th Wonder同时晋升为一线的制作人，颇像“地上”红人Kanye West。《The Minstrel Show》中，9th Wonder调整了步伐，将整张唱片旋律化，增强了LB驾驭全新路线的信心。而形式上的变化并非关键，关键词却是来自标题“The Minstrel Show”。The Minstrel Show意指带有明显种族歧视、十九世纪由美国白人扮演黑人演唱黑人的歌曲的剧团演出，而LB取此名称正是带有反击之意。唱片中截取了大量的Old School素材作为拖衬，尤其当那首动人的“Cheatin”响起，好像回到了那段真实的历史中。《The Minstrel Show》设计为2005年9月11日一天于urban（UBN） TV stations的演出，又有自创的男女皆宜的5th&Fashion服装品牌为广告，确实把人搞得啼笑皆非。而仔细聆听下，Big Pooh和Phonte的歌词力度依然不变。LB就像是上课不听讲，一提问就懂的同学，搞《The Minstrel Show》就是那种玩着弄出来也比你强。 我琢磨着是不是要评个《The Listening》,,不过我目前听这张还是以纯粹听觉享受(beat忒爽)为主..

Album: Snowflakes
Artist: Toni Braxton
Release Date : October 23, 2001
Label : Arista/BMG
一代青少年性幻想对象Toni Braxton终于在2000年《The Heat》之后成婚,并很快做了妈妈.2001年的年底,Toni复出了,带着一张《Snowflakes》,圣诞专辑.
说到圣诞专辑,其实就和我国的贺岁片一个道理,因此同理它们大部分也都是应景之作,虽然历史上出过圣诞专辑的人不少,但大部分都有些粗制滥造的嫌疑.《Snowflakes》是极少数的例外之一.:shy:
"Holiday Celebrate","Christmas Of Jamaica","Snowflakes of Love",这是这张12tracks专辑的开头3曲,Toni扎实的唱功和Keri(她老公)的编曲能够让你马上感受到圣诞节寒冷中的温馨的那种气氛 .一般这三首还没听完我就睡着了,因此后面就不评了,其实也相当不错.比Ashanti2004年发的那张强251395803859230158320598倍.
而且我这日版后边还写着"妊娠后..声音变化"之类,小日本真TM变态啊,不过仔细听听,还真是这样,Toni的声音确实有变化
喜欢呀,,,,,:shy: 一般这三首还没听完我就睡着了,因此后面就不评了,

Album: Beats, Rhymes & Battles, Vol. 1
Artist: DJ Red Alert
Release Date : August 7, 2001
Label : LOUD
Hip-Hop的历史是beef的历史,源于黑人好斗的天性.这张《Beats, Rhymes & Battles, Vol. 1》像是一本教科书,带给我们的是那些已经发黄的历史残片.一上来就是UTFO vs Roxanne Shante和MC Shan vs KRS-One,首先是Roxanne挑衅UTFO,背后指使者是Marley Marl和Mr.Magic,然后KRS挑衅MC Shan,都是草民挑战大明星,然后迅速获得名望.(当然实力也是重要因素,虽然Roxanne一介女流,但Big Daddy Kane操刀的歌词能量绝对不容小视)看来diss是娱乐圈中最快的成名方式,中外莫不如此.
接下来一节是Kool Moe Dee vs LL Cool J.这是天王之间的对抗,类似后来的Biggie vs 2Pac,Nas vs Jay-Z.糟糕的是Red Alert居然没有把Kool Moe Dee的名曲"How Ya Like Me Now"选入.不得不说是整张中的最大遗憾.最终的胜者是LL,因为他留存在了历史舞台上,"Jack The Ripper"是历史上最有力度的diss track之一.虽然十数年之后LL对Canibus的行径有些让人不齿,但能够将自己长期维持在永不过时的主流,也算是他的本事.
剩下的我不感兴趣,女人的争吵.唯一的价值就是"The Show"的完全版,值得一听.至于Salt N Pepa,MC Lyte和Antoinette,跳过. Originally posted by Raffaello at 3-18-2006 02:37:

Album: Legend Of The Liquid Sword
Artist: GZA
Release Date : December 10,2002
Label : MCA
GZA是hip-hop圈中的另类 睿智而冷静.从他最喜爱的国际象棋就可见一斑.
2002年底,GZA个人的第4张《Legend Of The Liquid Sword》面世,通过名字可以得知这是对95年那张经典《Liquid Swords》的回顾,
事实上《Legend Of The Liquid Sword》确实包括了很多《Liquid Swords》的元素,Intro中对95年intro的remake就是一例.接下来的"Auto Bio",头一句就是"I was born,with a mic in my hand",真是天生MC."Silent"是和Ghostface以及Method的protegee Streetlife的collaboration,还不错,"Knock,Knock"的beat牛比,"Fam(Members Only)"是Allah Mathematics的作品,很标准的Wu Track."Fame"是人名大串烧,GZA玩文字的能力真恐怖啊,! "Rough Cut"是唯一一首RZA的作品,还算一般
整张水准虽然低于《Liquid Swords》,《Beneath The Surface》,然而仍不失为低迷的2002年的亮点之一,GZA在Wu-Tang全明星的老大地位也不言而喻. 今日论坛之星 badbrain - 发帖数 12 :v::v::v:

既然小jj都让挖坑r
那我也刨一个 LB新的初听很不错.
不知听了几个月之后会怎么觉得 http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf400/f434/f43414dwe8t.jpg
要不是看见FEAT.KUTMASTER KURT,估计打死我也想不起来MOTION MAN是谁.这张在THRESHOLD下发行的CLEARING THE FIELD也是其唯一的个人作品.不过MOTION MAN在其中的表现确实很值得圈点.
除去SKIT整张专集一共有17首歌,全部由KUTMASTER KURT制作,FUNKY的令人手舞足蹈.STRAIGHT FLOWIN ON EM中MOTION MAN如流水般的FLOW确实让人惊诧,KURT的BEAT也很冷静,一股阴风哇!相比他的搭档KOOL KEITH,MOTION MAN要来得更加柔软,不过他们俩都喜欢乱搞!其后的HOLD UP FEAT.BIZ MARKIE和WINNER TAKES ALL就说明了这点.而COME YA'ALL那有点儿OL SKOOL的BEAT也很有趣.而之后的FACE 2 FACE,MAKE IT N SELL IT都非常有趣.相比其他的BAY AREA MC,MOTION MAN明显要更加聪明.最后的BEOTCHES是典型的BAY AREA STYLE,为专集画上了一个不错的句号!

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc300/c337/c33794yhpr1.jpg
很多同学会奇怪，为啥又写这三个老家伙的老专辑呢？更有个别小朋友的心理肯定在说：他是不是为了凑数超过我呀？我们就带着这些疑问首先参观一下附件的封面和上面的有什么不同，特别要注意下面的黄标（不是盗版那种黄标！！！）
恭喜你，答对了！这就是我新dig来的2005《Raising Hell》的Remater限量版。带有5首未作发表的加歌。一首无伴奏的“My Adidas”，真实记下了Run DMC在录音室的原始录音，Raw and Power，这是最值得购买Remaster版的重要原因之一。两首Demo分别是“Walk This Way”和“Lord of Lyrics”，前者倒没什么可多说的，大家都很熟悉这首crossover的歌曲。而后者一定会很陌生，实际上“Lord of Lyrics”就是歌曲“Raising Hell”的初期版本，在录音的最后被diss掉。“Lord of Lyrics”和“Raising Hell”一样属于火力十足的歌曲，而前者在音乐和歌词上稍显工整和细致、还有结尾拖沓的吉他solo，显然不能和“Raising Hell”的粗暴与霸道相抗衡，直接导致该歌曲未能发表。剩下两首歌，实际上也算不上加歌。一首Rainsing Hell巡回演出时的电台片花剪辑，而另一首竟然是阿波罗录制的商业宣传录音的再现。即便这后面的两个Bonus稍显画蛇添足，倒也真应了铁杆儿DMC迷的口味。
Lord of Lyrics (Demo) By Run DMC
Getter of girls, master of men
("King of Rock") and I am him
Lord of lyrics, duke of discussion
Ruler of rap and king at cold crushin
And I'm DJ Run, commander-in-chief
Dictator, and hater of those that beee
Puller of people (controller of crowd)
Lingering lyrics (long) lastin' and LOUD
Droppin MCs, with just one punch
'cause it's the baddest of the {?} so call me Captain Crunch
Slayin MCs', make 'em walk the plank
(What's next?) Swappin' decks then I count my bank
Sophisticated sounds, not soft or sour
Servin you suckers sellin' dreams in the shower
Rockin this party, hour after hour
If a girlie try to diss me (Oh my God!) I won't allow her!
Wizard of words, ruler of rap
Not soft, not a sucker, could never be a sap
You might get jacked, 'cause you talk crap
When I bust my rap, they all step back
(The) microphone (master) D.M.C.
'cause it's one, two, three, four casualties
You'll be praisin D, down on your knees
'Cause I'm poppin and joppin, stoppin' all MCs'
{*guitar solo*}
W-w-wel, w-w-we-well
I'm rhyminand climbin beat-makin every day
The synthesizer sound, so silence when I say
that I am great, get it straight, cause that's my fate
My name is Run I'm number one, that's how I rate
He's in the place with the bass, and style and grace
His name is Jay, he's here to play, and win this race
He's off the wall, on the ball, his name is D
Kind of tall yes y'all and he's down with me
I'm talked about because I turn it out
You cannot count this large amount
of rhymes I got that rock this spot
'cause I am def and you are NOT
If I was fake, I would not break
If the titles at stake, then I would take
?Paving? the title, will be taken
I'm for real, I'm not faking
Suckers are shivering and, dead shaking
I think ya scared if I'm not mistaken
I gain respect and if I'm correct
They'll awe like a ball that I have check
If the shots they take have no effect
The punk tried to dunk, but he broke his neck
'cause I rock harder and I, get farther
You wanna battle D, hey please, don't bother
to waste your time, messin wit my rhyme
The only kick you get out of it is in the behind
{*guitar solo*}
Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings
We're Raising Hell like a class when the lunch bell rings
The king will be praised, and hell will be raised
S-suckers try to faze him but he won't be fazed
So what's your name?D.M.C.! The King is me!
Your High-ness, or His Majesty!
You can debate, c-c-c-concentrate
But you can't imitate D.M.C. THE GREAT!
