Review:
The Thesis
Artist: The Ambassador
Label: Cross Movement Records
Time: 14 tracks/1:10:41
Five years after releasing his first solo album, The Cross
Movement’s The Ambassador is back with his most recent
release, The Thesis, an album with fifteen cuts full of
energy and passion.
Excluding the track “Amba-ss-ador” (Why do rappers always
feel the need to spell out their name in a repetitive
manner?), the album is full of creativity and positive flow.
In “Feels Good,” the first single off the new album, The
Ambassador spits out rhymes while a female accompanies on
the chorus, creating a unique blend to add to the already
catchy song.
“Get You Open,” though somewhat repetitive, is a clever song
that discusses the impact hip-hop has on our society and how
important Christ is in our culture. The Ambassador even
makes a witty reference to Snoop Dog’s “Drop It Like It’s
Hot.” Other tracks, like “Body Talk” and the compelling
“The Fall,” also have inspiring and thought-provoking lyrics
combined with intriguing overall tones.
One negative aspect that stands out to me, though, is the
little hints of repetitiveness. I understand that songs are
repetitive in themselves (chorus are repeated, main lines
are repeated, etc); However, some of the songs (i.e. “Thesis
Pieces,” “The Elements”) fuse together a never-changing beat
and an over-repeated hook that only make me ready to change
the song half way through. None-the-less, I still consider
The Thesis to be a good Christian hip-hop/rap album.
The Thesis is a quality sophomore project that was almost
well worth the wait.
