| | Review: | "How do you like your hiphop?" Sup The Chemist boldly
requests an answer to this question on his latest CD, simply
yet profoundly entitled Dust.
For over a decade, Sup The Chemist has been a dominating
force in the ever-developing genre labeled ChristianDust CD
hip-hop, garnering respect from the Christian as well as the
secular industry. Hailing from the West Coast, one would
assume that his style would be confined by the sound of
fellow artists emerging from California; this is not the
case.
Sup never ceases to "shock" his audience by masterfully
changing his style, techniques, flows and beats to introduce
a new flava to the listener. With fork in one hand and knife
in the other, picture yourself at your favorite restaurant
about to indulge into a mouth-watering meal. So are the
elements that compose Sup's latest rendition. Tantalizing
beats, scrumptious lyrics and creamy flows overly-excite the
tastebuds of the average hip-hopper's palette.
Dust has the potential to surpass his previous work
considerably. This 15-track LP containsSup The Chemist
God-exalting, quality lyrics, beats reeled in from the
rivers of life, enjoyable vocals, and rhythmic flows from
out of this world. The introduction confirms this perception
by declaring his return, after a 5-year sabbatical, to the
rap game. Even the CD sleeve gives a visual display of his
comeback through cartoonism, once again allowing the
consumer to lounge in the pool of his imagination.
Track #2 interprets "The Language of Imagination" by
displaying Sup's lyrical skills attempting to translate
hip-hop's broadness and scope. "My Shot" is a rapper's
delight with a beat that screams for its place in the
Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.
Another of Sup's strong arguments is found in the song
"Venality". Sup The Chemist sheds light on the emcees that
rap strictly for monetary gain lacking skill and moral
conviction. With the help of the L.A. Symphony crew, this
explosive, illuminating track explores the crooked part of
the industry— that distorted, degrading lyrics are the
result of "money hungry" motives. He signals that those
taking this approach of "monotonous material" be displaced
from pioneering status. Sup desires to remain consistent to
his credence that real hip-hop is birthed from originality
given by God.
Sup then exhibits his ingenious originality and creativity
on "Fresh Coast", featuring Ahmad from 4th Ave. Jones.
Many will attest that this is the "tightest" song on the
album. The addictive beat and the marriage of flows of the
two artists challenge any secular rapper to deliver.
On "Photographs", Sup the Chemist invites the audience in
to take a 'stroll down memory lane' and reminisce with him
important events that transpired in his life such as the
death of brother and the birth of his son. Accompanied by
vocals supplied by S.P., Sup demonstrates his talents to
transcend hip hop's "edginess" and flow to a mellow
groove revealing intimate moments in his life.
Other noted tracks are "How Do You Like Your Hip Hop?",
"Art", and "Here" (which contains splashes of scratches
performed by DJ Melo-D). "As The Sun Rises" features
B-Rite Music recording artist, Jon Gibson (see sidebar),
which identifies the album title in its chorus, a smooth
flowing track which is a remake of "Dust In The Wind."
"Top Raimen Nights" sympathizes the trials of a rap artist
dedicated to his craft. Finally, "Is This A Dream?"
chronicles the apocalyptic climax found in the book of
Revelations, story-telling at its finest.
This album is a definite item in any hip-hop addict's
collection searching for current hits. It is not one to pass
up, as it possesses throw-off styles, a play on words that
Sup is famous for, and guest artists that spark the
album.
After hearing this album "How Do You Like Your Hip Hop?"
will be easily answered...Sup The Chemist style. | | source: GospelFlava.com, added: May 14, 2006 |  |
