Soul Position - Things Go Better With RJ & Al

March 15, 2006


I JUST got done listening to this. This is by far the speediest review turnaround I've ever done here. But this is that awesome. I think i might have mentioned Soul Position before, and their other stuff is indeed good, but oh man... this one is even better! My only complaint about this album is that one of the songs uses the same sample as one of the songs from Dan The Automator (and friends)'s Lovage - Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By, and Automator used it better.... but that's really my only complaint. This album has awesome and always-interesting production, worthwhile lyrics with a good sense of humor and intelligence, and, perhaps most importantly, the best song about cellphones ever (which just so happens to have one of the best choruses ever). Oh, and the album opener is basically the definative essay about the stupidity of popular hiphop (a.k.a. 'pop-hop' a.k.a. 'radio hits' a.k.a. 'utter crap'). so, if you can even find this CD anywhere (it comes out april 4th), you need to hear it. and you will enjoy it. i think. maybe. if you're awesome.

    This album is several orders of magnitude better than 8 million stories. Soul Position features on track 5 of RJD2's album Dead Ringer. I went right out and got 8 million stories after that and was extreamly disapointed. This has restored my faith though. to quote:

    "In this corner, we have the undisputed champs of hip hop Soul Position, RJD2 on the beats, Blue print on the rhymes... versus.... everything that sucks about music in the other corner."

    back up off my minutes.
