Review

Hip-hop has changed tremendously since Brand Nubian's heyday in the early 1990s, but Grand Puba, Sadat X, and Lord Jamar have stayed the course with an impressive commitment to making meaningful music. Fire in the Hole feels anachronistic at times, and not only because the crew hasn't really revamped its flows. Their attempts at social relevancy on songs like "Still Livin' in the Ghetto," "Momma," and "Soldier's Story" mark a welcome throwback to a different era. They also show that they can box with their contemporaries on songs like "Always Mine" and "Whatever Happened?" as they flex lyrical styles that can run with the young. It's not the most polished album in this group's long history, but at a time when most of their peers have faded out or fallen off, Brand Nubian suggests that hip-hop's retirement age might yet last beyond 35. --Oliver Wang
