| Review: | S.O.H.L. ( Straight Out Hard Lyrics) 4UR Tribe's Syke and
Sevin have entered the Christian hip-hop arena with 2Tha
Bazix. They also may have set a record for the most uses of
"JC Junkie" on one album.
Their use musical melodies helps draw an immediate
comparison to D.C. Talk. Where D.C. Talk brings their sung
choruses to the front, Syke and Sevin hand several of the
choruses to Eden. Her vocals are excellent and blend in well
between the raps, leaving the choruses more in the
background, letting Syke and Sevin pack the punch with the
verses. While they use plenty of beats, breaks, and
scratches, they avoid the overuse of samples.
The raps tend to speed by, but they are quite easy to
understand. "Sohl 4UR Tribe Iz Funky" talks about reading
the Bible, Christ's Salvation and how we need to be devoted
to Him. "Funky Hometown Pinnochio Blues" makes the analogy
of Satan as the champion of lies--Pinnochio. They show how
we need to stop ourselves when we become angry and are
tempted to curse to ask "Lord Have Mercy." "Heaven Sent"
reminds us to wait for a mate given by God and avoid
unwholesome relationships. "Let The Love Flow" encourages
us to let God's love flow through us when we are deeply
hurting inside. Syke and Sevin diss "puppet" government
officials, urging them to wake up in "Stix and Stones" and
sum up their feelings in the statement "stix and stones may
break my bones, but politicians can never hurt me," and
then diss selfish televangelists in "Nonsense." "Papa
Dios" speaks of the realities of life on the streets and
how it would be to die on the streets without securing a
place in heaven. They wrap (or is that rap) up the project
with an up-beat gospel-ish tune about how they use their rap
in ministry to their friends.
Like D.C. Talk, they add several humorous tracks such as
"Introduction," "The Producer Didn't Show," and
"Intermission" which really get old after the third time
that you hear them. Stick to the rap music, and leave the
humor to comedians. Also, once you remove these tracks, the
album comes up well under 40 minutes--a little short. Apart
from that, it's a great hip-hop project. | | source: J. Warner Soditus, THE LIGHTHOUSE March, 1993, added: Feb 24, 2005 | |
| Review: | This album was a bright light amidst a lot of darkness in
the Christian rap scene. They were unique, original,
danceable and lots of fun. | | source: J-Man, added: Feb 06, 2010 | |
