Let's Do Away With the Coastal Restrictions For a Moment: Part 1 of 2

I’m going to have to step outside of my jurisdiction for a second here today, so forgive me. But as a fan of hip hop in general, this is one of those situations where the issue at hand is more important than the fact that this is a West Coast Hip Hop blog.

Being from California, of course I have love for a lot of West Coast hip hop that your average cat from NY or Philly or Atlanta or wherever might not be feeling. But I also have a lot of love for good hip hop from every other part of the U.S., because it is what it is: good hip hop.

Today I got advances for two albums in the mail that made my whole month. One album I’ve been waiting on for the last few months, ever since a buzz started to build around it. The other album, I’ve been waiting on for four years, with no idea as to what the release date would be until finally a date was given around a month ago. The two albums are both from New York artists, but they are as different as could be. And I’m mad excited about both.

I’ve only listened to about half of Sean Price’s Jesus Price Superstar, but it’s already 10 times better than Monkey Barz, which wasn’t even that bad of an album. If the rest of the album is as good as the first tracks were, then all of the hype surrounding Superstar was well-deserved. This album is just about everything that hip hop is missing right now.

The production (5 tracks from 9th Wonder, as well as production from PF Cuttin, Khrysis, Ill Mind and others) is on point, and Ruck sounds as hungry as he did when Heltah Skeltah dropped Nocturnal. And apparently Ruck and Rock are planning on teaming up to drop D.I.R.T. sometime soon, although there is currently no release date set. That said, I can’t wait to hear Rockness Monstah go for broke all over a new album... shit is going to be crazy.

Next up, we have the new album from El-P, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, which drops March 20th. You’ll have to tune in tomorrow for the full review.

  • Good shit man!!!
    I like seeing when someone just recognizes talent.

    I think we are gonna see a good year in HipHop. You got this dude Sean P. coming out thats gonna make it hard for these wanksters to breath. I really think Nas' "HIPHOP IS DEAD" album opened mafuckas eyes a little. I'm not sayin that the east coast is gonna start smashin on other regions, I just mean that folks are gonna be more critical of who they allow to shine, that goes for the East the West and the Dirty.

    If you wack then you aint gettin no shine.

    This what niggaz up north fail to realize, it doesnt matter how much "of a MONSTER" a nigga is. Yall beats is wack so well never listen to it to find out how much of a "MONSTER" he is. When will yall niggas get it thru yall heads that we not into "lyricism" like yall. Yall niggas need to stop with the metaphors and get some rythym.

    -------------------------

    Speak 4 self. I'm from the South and lyricism and a "decent" beat is what I look for. Lyricism first and foremost. So stop generalizing Southern hip-hop. Dude you from the "A" home of Kast, Goodie Mobb and Killer Mike, how can you make that statement unless.. you're under 21? Fuck a dope beat if the emcee is not saying shit. Sean Price been getting good reviews so I'm going to check dude out and see what he's talking bout. With 9th producing 5 tracks it must be worth a listen.

  • I have never heard his stuff so I am glad to hear an honest opinion. I listen to the radio little because hop hop died but have now been peeking in now and then. Sorry to say I find myself still listening to shit from the mid to late 90s and a bit of early 2g's. But I am finding my way back to modern songs as long as the quality isn't what we started this decade of 21st century off with. Gonna pick homeboy up.

  • Sean P is THAT dude... Monkey Barz was just crazy and if you sayin' Jesus P is better, then all us Hip Hop heads are in for a feast!

    Much respect for throwing him up on the west coast blog too... good music don't have no boundaries!

    Now I just gotta figure out how I'ma cop the new joint out here in Oz...
