So once again for the sake of Sniper's request:) I listened to this record once again and my opinion hasn't changed unfortunately. I still think that it has much to show on the beat level but also a lot to prove on the lyrical side. The beats are fine, sometimes very dope, but the MC's style is very poor and sometimes rather boring. Nevertheless, let me know if anyone liked it.

DJ Automatic Presents Common – Theater of the Mind (Mixtale)(2010)



Link

No Tracklist Available

The reason I chose Common for this project is that he is not only one of my favorite MC’s of all time,” says Automatic, “but he has an entire career of music behind him that young music lovers don’t necessarily know. They see him in movies and have heard his newer releases but have no idea that Common was one of the rawest MC’s throughout the 90′s. Although I have followed his career from jump, it was still an honor to sit down with him in person and let him take me on his personal journey.

Building on the momentum from their critically acclaimed debut, Friday Night returns with an epic sequel that is a culmination of raw musical ambition and overblown Hollywood absurdity. Saturday Night picks up the story of tragic figures Dave and Umar several years after the violent wreck that would change the course of their lives and ultimately make them marked men.

With each other as their only allies, Dave & Umar embark on a strange journey to clear their names. Through alligator-infested swamps, and lonely country roads, to the mean streets of Memphis - they race to stay one step ahead of the vengeful forces and jilted wives hot on their trail.

Featured guests include Son Doobie, Playa Hamm, Micah Saint James, TeLuv, 87 Stick Up Kids, Black Spade and more.

Teaming up for collaborations tends to sound like quite the chore; especially in the rap world. Somewhat rarely do you find a collaboration that doesn’t seem forced, awkward or at least something to rush back to your used CD store, begging to sell it for whatever you can get that’s better. Can Cymarshall Law & Skit Slam better that perspective? On the dancehall reggae-tinged Freedom 2, don’t let sequels fool you, it’s still good music.

Cymarshall & Skit Slam focus on what most underground rap focuses on; trials, tribulations, misfortunes, and ruminations of the bullshit present in hip-hop and the positivity within it. One could also say pretty much anything in between. You can hear it in the weed love song “Ms. Liquor Spliff”, the spiritual savior like flavor in “Waiting Too Long” and “Hook Them”, and the true to life themes brought out in “Credit Crunch” featuring C-Rayz Walz,”. There are definitely several other big tunes, such as when we hear the re-appearance of El Da Sensei on “Elements” and the skillful rhyming brought by Hakim Green on “Crack and the Electric Chair”. All these tunes, though, refuse to match the energy and intensity still brought by Cymarshall Law. He continues to remain hungry, and if the rhyming on these newest set of tracks along with his Creator’s Kid EP are any sign, he’s beginning to be more and more the franchise player of the underground world.

One section that cannot be overlooked (in a good way) is the production of Sweden’s The Beatnikz. They provide a palette of different textures in the production here. While not all of it is dancehall influenced, the good bulk of it still sticks itself in ’90s golden era hip-hop goodness, which is something to be blessed for. You can hear it in the smooth and effervescent keys on “All Right”, the chopped up elements in “Come Correct”, and the use of vibraphones and oboe in “Sun, Moon and Stars”. The Beatnikz continue to give beat after beat of interesting selection. But the crowning achievement rests in “Follow My Lead”, with its clever usage of organs and harp, both melodic and pleasing to the ear.

The disc isn’t without its faults. There are times you wonder if Skit Slam showed a little bit of the energy Cymarshall had on a couple of the tracks, or maybe wondering if Cymarshall brought it down to a similar tone as Skit Slam vocally speaking, how it could change the dynamic of Freedom 2. Other times there are instances where the subject matter doesn’t match up with the specific beat, but again that tends to be a common fault among most collaborations. Regardless of these faults though, Freedom 2 does provide for an entertaining and head nodding experience. Though overbearing at times, it’s going to be interesting to see what Cymarshall & Skit Slam have for us next go round.

Kris “KRS-One” Parker was the driving force behind the group Boogie Down
Productions, purveyors of a politically conscious rap style dubbed Edutainment.
KRS-One, which stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme, began his solo career with
1993’s RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP, and devoted himself to defining, promoting, and
preserving the true spirit of hip-hop. (The Blastmaster even went so far as to
start the Zulu Nation-esque Temple of Hip-Hop Kulture in the late 1990s.)
Though controversial, and occasionally inconsistent in his politics, KRS-One
remains one of the most respected and sought-after MCs ever.
