CD ReviewsMarley Marl - From Hiatus To Hittin' Us....With Gems. uptownkid | New York, NY | 11/07/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "It's been a little while since Marley has dropped an album under his name, but if you remember the days of "In Control, Vol. 1" to "In Control. Vol. 2", to the whole essense of the Juice Crew allstars, to the likes of LL Cool J, Lords Of the underground, Screwball, etc., etc., etc (the list goes on for pages) you'd know of the man, the myth, the legend. Well, if you take all of those artists, all his production efforts, with all of those beats, scratches and lyrics and mix them up in a pot, you get the end result which can be the equivalent of "Re-Entry".With "Re-Entry" (on BBE records), you get the true essence of Marley Marl as well as the new essence of Marley Marl and his talent behind the production, which can only be seen as a him taking all he's done in the past 17 yrs, updating his techniques and taking it to the next level/tier. If one is familiar with other recent BBE releases (Pete Rock - Petestrumentals & Jay Dee - Welcome 2 Detroit), then you can appreciate why these TOP producers are going over to the England to lay down these tracks/albums and show the masses, from a world-wide prospective, that there's more to beats and more to Hip-Hop than and iced-out, platinum-filled materialistic image. There's a combination, as recorded on this album and experienced by the listeners, of taking it back to the true essense of Hip-Hop/Rap Music with real beats, stimilating lyrical fluctuation, and on various tracks the element of non-typical rap music but collaborations with Jazz/R&B artists on Jazz/R&B tracks. Hopefully releases like "Re-Entry" will inspire other producers in the Hip-Hop community to think "outside of the box" and outside of current production trends/repetitiveness and see the other dimensions of making music for us by us (appreciated by all), and perhaps acheive the longevity in the industry as Marley Marl has done. Peace y'all!" VETERAN Marley Marl makes 'new'music uptownkid | 11/07/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a great album (with just the right ingredients for a good listening experience) With guests like BDK and Roy Ayers it got just the good balance betwen music and lyrics.
It's jazzy, funky, old school, just great HIP HOP.Just like music should be!" |
