Tha Last Word

on the same label is just 1 year later, after his million-selling Dj Quik back on the front of the stage, more confident than ever. As a direct extension of what he did in 1991, accompanied by the same clique of departure, which he repeats again an album that looks like old Shcool and always funky. Always reflected in these low raw and fast, very supported and dry flow, we feel that remnants of the old school is always present in his diction ( Niggaz Still Trippin '), such for those who accompanied him in that feat of madness which is actually a nod to direct Niggaz Trippin first album 2nd II None.

Quik wants and then proves it with his message so arrogant about America'z Most Complete Artist, showing that it really has nothing to prove to all rappers on the same wave sailing G as the NWA, Above the law or the crew of Mc Eith. There's only to see the front cover with a big blaze posting Compton reppin 'his hood with pride.

Again productions like and use are based on a sample of large abundant that rocked the 70s and 80s, there easily find a dozen pieces stamped funk / soul classic from shake of Gap Band, but mostly Convoy for the title of Blowfly Mo 'Pussy which is kind of remake of the song Sweet Black Pussy Quik Is The name. Quik player or mark of respect to Blowfly? Other samples more or less known then give the tone to different tracks (Roger Troutman, Con Funk Shun, or Brass Construction for the most known)

But if we must talk about this album, do not forget, however, a figure of renown that will show the full extent of his talent with his guitar playing was more than remarkable. Fonksta with Rob Bacon, DJ Quik really find the true gem. Participating as co-producer, alchemy with Quik will be very fruitful. The one supporting the other during the whole process of the album acting as a kind of natural amplifier, the duo will lay the marvels such huge Juice Lyke Compton where he talks about his trip at all the promotion of his first album with a simple constant "LA Is The Place to stay" , a second edition of a long series with Quik's Groove II (the magic flute always effective), the much reggae Me Want to Rip Your Girl, the very orchestral Let Me Tonite RIP, or the jazzy When you're a gee with an apartment in Playa Hamm we find the same year the album Penthouse Player Clique.

Still as effective Quik assures build on this second branch which is a result of this logic more than he did a year ago. A vision of greater things, greater commitment and especially the arrival of Fonksta Bacon will enable him to improve his talent advantage of producer / Sound engineer / composer / arranger / lyricist, and touais just that, self Proclamation of America'z Most Complete Artist appears donc pas dupe.

14) It's All Right


On change de courant musical to tackle the middle of the R & B and more particularly that of New Jack. Kreuz, a group formed in the early 90s, with a first attempt in 1993 with the album New Generation is really gone unnoticed (I have not had the opportunity to listen), the group of compounds Sean Cummings, the lead singer, Ricardo Reid and Wayne Lawes involved both vocal and production on the album, returning to the music scene Londoner with a type of sound, still very little known in the musical landscape of the country.

is with the single
Party All Night style that broke out in broad daylight with a host well welcomed by the public, even positioning themselves in the top chart dance floor the first week, style, very salacious, can only think of another group coming from across the Atlantic very active since the early 90s, the kind of monster, I am of course talking about the lyrics Jodeci very sour.

All the style of the album while taking root in a game modeled on a slow pace, sometimes with a low soft ballads, sometimes fast securities more up-tempo and dance floor with choirs on a reggae assets or more traditional.

Among the various instruments found some notes of piano, horns, synths, a moog and a siren behind but rather effective (especially for Hump Hump Da ) guitar riffs for walks, and even the presence of games played vocoder ( Slap 'N Tickle). Suffice to say that production has not been spared.

ultra spicy texts were essentially a common theme: the kiss, charm, sex, and yeah nothing is done in half measures, without falling into the poor misogyny as seen currently with the crunk, the tone is still very provocative in form.

Here is an album so rich that we offer this group 100% Londoner even if some unscrupulous people will not make the direct approximation (see a copy) with Jodeci as the similarities are striking. It remains that reaches Kreuz bring a lot of freshness in a stream which will unfortunately deteriorate over the years to make way for a much more influenced by R'n'B productions Hip Hop.

Fill In Diagram Of A Boat

Dawn Silva - All My Funky Friends (2000 Sacramento CA)




















Tracklist:

01) As Long As It's The One
02) Break Me Off
03) Red Light District
04) Close To You
05) Shake It Down
06) I 'd Rather Be With You
07) Whole Lotta Game
08 All My Funky Friends
09) Disco To Go
10) Calling Out Your Name
11) Do You Remeber Them
12) On The One


If Dawn Silva do evokes perhaps not much, yet she has participated for many years mouvent P-Funk, in close collaboration with the holding of the movement, such as George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie, but also Worrell.

So in this new millennium, that Ms Silva takes the microphone after a last attempt shunned by the public, however well received by critics, with her late Brides Of Funkenstein Group. This new entrant 20 years trying t is completely produced by the studio and Twinlab Silva Sound Recordings in Sacramento by D'La Vance and overall made arises from the first moment, the album is extremely powerful. One wonders how such a production could be born as late as the movement ran out of steam Funk traditional for many years.

Taking all aspects that have made successes in the Funk 80: powerful bass, a guitar with funky accents, synthesizers, a very powerful set of keyboard, some brass here and there, plus other instruments stacked to make his very own, one is in awe of such a work.

To be honest on first listen I thought the songs were played as Funk times of the day, like the title I'd Rather Be With You Bootsy Collins , but it is not all productions are fully worked and one can only rejoice advantage.

Make a selection of songs is really difficult as, I repeat, the work is remarkable for the year, each offering its sound as well giving it distinct and special status of absolute classic of the genre without a doubt.
