LAST MAN STANDING--more dope shit--Black C. stays "pump pump!"
Hey, Black C.!
I just received LAST MAN STANDING from Frisco Street Show on Thursday, w/ Y.T.'s debut, too. Another dope CD! I'm glad that you're still in the game, staying true to the RBL style that you and Mr. Cee laid down, while coming w/ something a little different each time in terms of production.
Musically, LMS has a more stripped-down sound than the tracks on HOSTILE TAKEOVER and PRIME FACTORZ, which often had more echo, making the keyboards "swim", so to speak. But that's cool--I think that a more basic sound is more appropriate for the particular types of lyrics that you were spitting on LMS. I hope you continue to work w/ some of these producers in the future, especially Big MoMo and Hermanata. It's always cool to hear what new cats can do when they get behind the production boards.
I also liked how you incorporated some lines from old school Rap songs into your verses--it gives them an "old school meets new school" identity! Right now, "Pioneers", "Gangsta Party", "It's A Rap", "Keep It In The Family", "Boss Of The Ghetto", "Hustlin' Regardless" and "Kill A Man" stand out the most for me. But I'll most likely gain other favorites as the CD grows on me w/ repeated listenings. Good cameos from the Military Minded members, Alias, Prime, Y.T., Sleep Dank and the VERY slept-on Lil Ric.
I haven't had a chance to play Y.T.'s CD yet, but if his appearances on "Gangsta Party" (LMS) and "Lie Lo" (PRIME FACTORZ) are any indication, I imagine that I should prepare for another dope CD. Take care, and keep bringing us more Right Way shit to bump!
