Review
There are two ways to approach this album. If you take it at its most literal--a collection of beats--there's a good chance that you'll find it damn snoozy. You never quite realize how monotonous and downright boring hip-hop tracks can be until you remove the lyrics and are subjected to four minutes of the same bars looping over and over. Pete Rock is a great producer, no question, but he doesn't do much to vary the pace, concocting an album's worth of mid-tempo grooves that go nowhere fast. Which, of course, is the pleasure of listening to it. This is music to stick in the background as you go about your daily routine--cruising in the car, chilling at home, weeding your garden, whatever. There's few better than Pete Rock to compose these simple sonic scores of relaxed, warm tracks that blend funk and a touch of jazz to perfection. There's hardly a flat beat anywhere to be found, and repetitive as they get, the endless, comfortable aural pleasure they give makes up the difference. --Oliver WangThe second solo release of recording artist/DJ/producer Pete Rock of Pete Rock and CL Smooth fame. A fusion of reggae, jazz, pop, rock and soul with a scattering of MC tracks. All three MC cuts feature a new crew called the UN (featuring Rock Marciano of Busta Rhymes posse - Flipmode Squad and more. Packaged in a unique gate-fold digipak. 2001 release.In early 2000, Pete Rock agreed to produce an eclectic beats album that would reflect the rich variety of music he inherited from his father's record collection. The fusion of Reggae, Jazz, Pop, Folk, and Soul underline this intricate project and compliment the Hip-Hop formula. A scattering of MC tracks are present to whet the appetites of Pete's traditional fan base which feature a new crew called UN (Comprised of Rock Marciono of the Flipmode Squad and newcomers Divine, Godfree and Laku).
