Sunday - November 19th, 2006 It doesn't take a smart guy to know Hip-hop is as Jay Z says is in a "STATE OF EMERGENCY." It makes you want to pull out a wedgee board and resurrect the dead to get good quality emcees back. Look no further!! Big Lou is here... Strait out of Camden, NJ (worst city in the U.S.) Big Lou is a combination of your favorite rappers favorite rappers! All you young bucks reading this let me break it down 2pac, BIG, Pun, Big L, all the greats that passed and all the greats that are in the shadows (the God Rakim, Kool G Rap) the list goes on.If you want to judge a book by its cover then when you see the album art for this mixtape you will be intrigued from the start. Before you pick up your next bootydance strip club recycled rendition cd spend ya money else where. Pick up Big Lou's new mixtape "Resurrecting The Dead" which is hosted by the drama king Kay Slay. The mixtape opens up with Slays trade mark intensity. It's an intro that makes you ready for the storm about to break. And "Paying Homage" does that! Maybe is the live spitting accapella and the crowd going crazy that sends chills up your spine or maybe its just been a while since good Hip-hop has been this close to mainstream. Songs like "The Resurrection" and the U.M.A. SONG OF THE YEAR "Takin Ova" are pure hiphop in its form. This mixtape has alot of different feels and angles. Another highlight has to be "Never Turn Back" and "Poppa Poppa", if these songs dont make anyone with some type of struggle in there life relate then nothing will. The raw emotion and bitter reality of these 2 tracks make you rewind more then once. The Camden stamp on hip-hop has to be placed when you listen to "Spiritual Metaphysics", one of the most creative songs of 2006 and the diamond of the album. The hook on this song and the ripping strings that follow in the background mesh as good as milk and cookies .It makes you remember what we lost. You have to appreciate what Lou is trying to proove.Spiritual is one of the biggest tributes to hip-hop you'll ever hear. If you ask someone whos the king of the east coast 4 out of 5 would say Hov....now when you listen to "Ride With Me" which is identical to Jayz' "Kingdom Come" beat it almost makes you wonder if they went Toe to Toe would it be an equal match? Its definately another banger. This track was recorded and played by Kay Slay before the Jay record was ever released,so dont think theres no originality in the production. A wiseman once said Great Minds Think Alike. And make sure you dont overlook "Jackin 4 Beats"... WOW!!!! On the other hand the downside to the album is "Shoot", its not a type of ear candy to hear that many gunshots in a song and subject matter was laxed."Hey,Hey,Hey" is another take it or leave it track.The good outweighs the bad indefinately on this project. Overall this mixtape is solid and is the first aid kit for hiphop right now.There are too many good tracks to mention,Props to Big Lou and everyone involved in this project.This is definately worth your time. "Resurrecting The Dead" was definately masterplanned and it shows throughout the record. » BECOME A WRITER » DISCUSS THIS TOPIC |
