The Documentary $4.45 If the Game’s G Unit-fueled debut–the most anticipated CD of early 2005–is supposed to be the Answer like Iverson, then what was the question? Well, when an emcee gets to rifle through 50 Cent’s Rolodex to handpick top-flight producers (Timbaland, Just Blaze, Kanye West), it’s a can’t-miss scheme, right? In this case, uh-huh. “Westside Story” is Game’s opportunity to remind crunk-come-latelys th… |

Gangsta Rap $14.38 Ice-T’s first solo rap CD since 1999′s 7th Deadly Sin is a mixed bag. Lyrically, the Iceberg hasn’t changed much. He’s still hard — much harder than you’d expect a VH-1 regular to be — and he’s still uncompromising with the language and his attitude towards women (ladies, unless you want to learn how to go from “ho” to “pro,” avoid this album). The word-filled and moving “Dear God Can You Hear Me” displays some growth and on “New Life” he sounds suitably reborn. “My Baby” is a worthy sequel to the nasty “Girls L.G.B.N.A.F.” from his 1988 album Power and the fascinating beat laid on “Pray” is as icy cold as the lyrics. Problem is, “Pray” is the only time the production is excellent and the B-list beatmakers rounded up for Ice-T’s comeback seem much less enthused than they should be. T’s protégés and guest stars aren’t that gripping either and you’d think the Bush Jr. years would set the man on fire. Instead, he macks on about money, ho’s, and the game for 16 tracks, and with no sweet beat to latch onto, the results are numbing. If you’ve been pining for the stripped-down, ball to you fall attitude of his debut, go for it. Otherwise, this is a hardcore fan’s album, and a spotty one at that. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Ted Birkey – Keyboards |

Gangsta Lean $12.72 In the 1990s, countless R&B acts incorporated hip-hop, but not many of them incorporated outright gangsta rap. Hip-hop-minded R&B artists — who ranged from Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, and Lauryn Hill to Erykah Badu, Janet Jackson, and Aaron Hall — steered clear of gangsta rap’s violent, bloody imagery. But on two rare occasions, West Coast groups brought gangsta rap to R&B: first was D.R.S. in 1993, then came G.A.T. in 1995. While G.A.T. managed to bridge the gap between N.W.A. and classic soul groups like the O’Jays, the Chi-Lites, and the Dramatics, the equally obscure D.R.S. (whose name stands for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) was coming from more of a new jack R&B perspective. If Babyface, Johnny Gill, Bobby Brown, or Prince had been singing the lyrics of N.W.A., Ice Cube, the Geto Boys, or Ice-T, the results might have sounded something like Gangsta Lean. One of the high points of this overlooked CD is a cover of Prince’s “Do Me, Baby,” but much of the time, the Los Angeles quintet doesn’t sing about love or romance, it sings about gang violence, drug dealing, carjacking, and other problems plaguing the inner city. Like Ice-T, 2Pac Shakur, or Ice Cube, D.R.S. embraces a first-person format and gives you the perspective of the gang banger, the criminal or the thug, which, of course, makes its violent accounts all the more disturbing. Gangsta Lean was among the most unique releases of 1993, but unfortunately, D.R.S.’ experimentation didn’t pay off commercially. It does pay off creatively, however, making Gangsta Lean a gem that’s worth searching for. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi |

Dr. Dre $78.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Andre Romelle Young (born February 18, 1965), primarily known by his stage name Dr. Dre, is an American record producer, rapper, record executive, and actor. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and a former co-owner and artist of Death Row Records, also having produced albums for and overseeing the careers of many rappers signed to those record labels, such as Snoop Dogg and Eminem. As a producer he is credited as a key figure in the popularization of West Coast G-funk, a style of rap music characterized as synthesizer-based with slow, heavy beats. Dr. Dre began his career in music as a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru and he later found fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A with Eazy-E and Ice Cube which popularized the use of explicit lyrics in rap to detail the violence of street life. His 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, released under Death Row Records, led him to become one of the best-selling American performing artists of 1993 and to win a Grammy Award for the single “Let Me Ride.” |

Fight the Power $19 Like the hard-hitting sounds of a Public Enemy jam, the words of the band’s lead singer, Chuck D, excite the mind and senses. In his first book, Chuck D pours out commentary that takes on Hollywood, race, the music industry, the murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G., drugs, and the three E’s–education, economics and enforcement. Likening the challenge to scaling a slick mountain on roller skates, Chuck D lets no one off the hook, putting celebrities and street kids alike on notice that the future is up for grabs…and the only way to be part of it, to be players not victims, is to work together. As an insider’s view on Hip-Hop culture slides into intimate revelations about his own life, as lyrics from his songs bump shoulders with top ten lists like The Greatest Rappers of All Time, Chuck D has his say with verve and electrifying energy, with anger, love and truth. A book that brings light into darkness, Fight the Power speaks for a generation. It is a powerful and prophetic message that America, both Black and White, urgently needs to hear. Nightline with Chuck as the featured guest. His rejection of celebrity and his constant community activism have made him a hero. For the past five years he’s been touring colleges and universities, delivering three hour lectures on everything from the music industry’s corruption of young talent, the history of black music from Blues to Rap, his own controversial lyrics, problems in the black community, self-empowerment, contemporary culture and current political leaders to Public Enemy’s rise to international stardom. All while maintaining his solo and Public Enemy’s recording careers. Fight the Power examines a multitudeof complex social, racial and artistic issues. In his unmistakable voice, Chuck discusses the role of heroes and role models in the black community, Hollywood’s negative images of blacks, the effect of gangsta rap, its images on the country’s youth and the war between east and west coas |

The Holy Profane $32.61 The Holy Profane explores the strong presence of religion in the secular music of twentieth-century African artists as diverse as Rosetta Tharpe, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Tupac Shakur.

Reed examines the link between West-African musical and religious culture and the way African Americans convey religious sentiment in styles ranging from blues, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and gangsta rap. |

The Holy Profane: Religion in Black Popular Music $49.7 Winner of the 2004 ARSC Award for Best Research in Recorded Rock, Rhythm & Blues or Soul The Holy Profane explores the strong presence of religion in the secular music of twentieth-century African American artists as diverse as Rosetta Tharpe, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Tupac Shakur. Analyzing lyrics and the historical contexts which shaped those lyrics, Teresa L. Reed examines the link between West-African musical and religious culture and the way African Americans convey religious sentiment in styles such as the blues, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and gangsta rap. She looks at Pentecostalism and black secular music, minstrelsy and its portrayal of black religion, the black church, “crossing over” from gospel to R&B, images of the black preacher, and the salience of God in the rap of Tupac Shakur. Traditionally, west European culture has drawn distinct divisions between the secular and the sacred in music. Liturgical music belongs in church, not on pop radio, and artists who fuse the two are guilty of sacrilege. In the West-African worldview, however, both music and the divine permeate every imaginable part of life — so much so that concepts like sacred and secular were entirely foreign to African slaves arriving in the colonies. The Western influence on African Americans eventually resulted in more polarization between these two musical forms, and black musicians who grew up singing in church were often lamented as hellbound once they found popular success. Even these artists, however, never completely left behind their West-African musical ancestry. Reed’s exploration of this trend in African American music connects the work of today’s artists to their West-African ancestry — a tradition that over two-hundred years of Western influence could not completely stamp out. |
