Rhymes Monumental - Back 2 Earth
Rhymes Monumental had been floating around the solar system
infecting any kind of life form with Hip Hop music and has
now landed back on his home planet. In 1998 it was time to
Target Earth with a full platter of rhymes and beats and two
skillful friends named Blake Knight and Playdough. In the
year 2000 Rhymes visited earth again but this time brought
us a message that there is A Lie N Science. Earth had
embraced his friends Ill Harmonics so he came back even
stronger with the Wild 7 showcasing more emcees such as
Freddie Bruno, Phat K.A.T.S., Tecknowledge and BPM. Now in
2003 Rhymes has decided he has been gone too long and that
its time to come Back 2 Earth.
The biggest difference from Rhymes first two albums is the
change in production. The first two albums were handled by
Blake Knight, Harry Krum and Sir Roc and had a more
futuristic approach to the beats. Back 2 Earth has every
track except one done by Fatheads and the sound of the album
is more old school which works in Rhymes Monumentals favor.
The album starts off with Streets that has Rhymes rocking a
raw beat that takes you back to simpler times. This song
shows that less can be more when it is done well. Selling
Lots O Hip Hop talks about the fakeness of the industry and
how there is rap music for everyone's tastes from Dirty
South to XXX. Over a Jazzy horn sample this track comes off
tight with both the emcee and production come together as
one. The halfway point of Back 2 Earth produces the hands
down best song on the album. Rhymes teams up with Playdough
which is the only guest spot on the LP and rocks the track
F.L.O.W. to shreds. There should be a warning on the album
cover about whiplash because after this track makes its way
into your ears your head starts bobbing uncontrollably. This
track alone is worth the price of the album!
You will find that this is not Rhymes Monumentals strongest
overall effort, but it has arguably his strongest song with
F.L.O.W. The production has its highlights and is strong but
does have the tendency to be too simple on certain tracks.
Rhymes can flow but sometimes you wish he would try
something new with his flow, before the song starts you know
how he is going to sound. Back 2 Earth is a solid disc that
will take you back and give you some good old fashioned Hip
Hop.

| Review: | Hint on a gym .you can get a membership at the Sheridan
College gym. Last time I woekrd there is was something like
$100 a year just sayin. You don't get all the services like
at an expensive gym, but you get a towel, a locker, there
are showers and they have all the equipment you might want
plus a running track outside. | | source: Jenilyn, added: Oct 29, 2015 | |
