Review:This is like the 19 release or something from these guys and through they seem to be getting a lot close I felt that this one lacked something too, while they continue further into that whole G-funk west coast thing they do try and switch things up a bit mixing some R&B style stuff in some of the tracks. One song reminded me a lot of the Ultramagnetic's which was kinda cool cause I used to be real into them. I guess if your hurtin' for some new rap to listen to this one isn't bad buy, but overall I didn't listen to this one too much.

Review:On their fourth release, PsychoTheoSocioGhettoPathic [The Escape] E.T.W. turns their rap/hip-hop music toward the hard realities of life on the street. Their goal was to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable," with respect to inner-city life. They offer understanding to this audience, taking a "'90's deliverance message" to those caught in "'90's life." Clocking in barely under an hour, there should be plenty to appeal to fans of hard rap to more soulful hip-hop.

Review:De End Time Wariors waren het getreiter van satan beu en genoodzaakt om uit hun dagelijkse functies te ontsnappen om zo een meesterplan uit te denken en op CD te zetten. Ze hebben hun stijlen en delivery verbeterd, een hele relaxte West Coast stijl. Ze brengen hun rhymes met geboterde stemmen en pakken de onderwerpen aan die in de ghetto's van Amerika afspelen. Ze maken duidelijk dat er maar ‚‚n oplossing is voor rasisme, tieners die zwanger zijn, ganggeweld, criminaliteit, kinderen met wapens, enz. De tracks bestaan uit rustige beats, weinig samples, keyboarddeuntjes en instrumenten. De jazzinstrumenten zijn de redenen dat de CD speciaal en origineel is. Zonder deze zou de CD niet erg opvallen tussen andere CD's. Live-instrumenten maken het geheel toch wat levender. Een bekende naam van de instrumenten bespelers is Otto Price (Gotee Night Out/GRitS) die de bas verzorgt. De baslijn is erg zwaar en ruig. In diverse tracks komen er ook soulzangeressen aan te pas om nog meer laid back te maken. Een van de beste tracks vind ik 'You're Gettin Played'. Hier zijn de beats wat dikker en minder relaxt. Het gaat over gangbangers, criminelen, hustlers en players: "A diabolical scheme who's next to get clowned? The devil took your soul to pick you off from the playground. Nine-year-old wannabee gangsta in a schoolyard. At eightteen you're doing time in a prisonyard", een pittig onderwerp. Yep, hun nieuwe CD is DopeHolyHipHoppusAlaWestCoastology.

Review:out of all their recordings this is by far the best. the others dont seem to have the power of this one- they just basicly quote scripture and use cliches. but this is different, it applies the scripture to real life circumstances, giving it deeper meaning to an unsaved world. sure cliches may work, but rap is a special unique vehicle to minister to a specail group of people(and its more conducive to describing real life issues not just tid bits of truth) that more traditional methods(including cliches) just do not work. the very best song of em all is it's real. full of scripture during Johnnie williams turn, this particualr song employs a style before its time,; it kind of relates to say a KJ52 of today.
