CD Reviews

Paul comes thru real Nice!

B. Berry | San Luis Obispo, Ca. United States | 12/02/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm surprised that no one else has reviewed this (yet) so I will. Once again, as with his somewhat scarce "Soul on the Grill" mix, Paul puts it together very well. Not only does he possess excellent D.J./production skillz but he has an ear for quality that shines through. Think D.J. Shadow but more fun and accessible (to my tastes). The album starts out with some good newer hip/hop (Kweli, Black Thought, Masta Ace, J-Live) and then transitions into an old school funk early days of rap "megamix" with Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill, Biz Markie and such. Then it effortlessly flows back into more contempory stuff like Clipse, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, etc. At all points Paul's style and flavor are heard with snipets of any number of obscure samples and a small amount of scratching. It's always just the right amount of tech wizardry with great track selection. Check it and see."
