Now, what up fam? I know it's been quite a while,
but you know how that get. Let's push this right
along. I hope ya'll recall the rating scale? You
got it? Good!
The next artist up to bat is a cat by the name
of "big Lo". The title of this predominantly
self-produced project is "Where am I going?"
The project contains 15 tracks, of which Big Lo
produced 8. Several of the tracks were produced
by people from the Netherlands, Alaska, Germany,
and New York.
The high of the project has to be big Lo's delivery.
The boy sounds very comfortable in the booth. Big
lo seems to ride the beats with ease. Big lo gives
a few metaphors here, some intellect there, a zig
in ya zag. You get the picture. I have to say this.
I did find a lot of the string samples, and some
of the production to be tight. Big lo infused some
mid eastern strings, and overseas flava. It was
cool.
The caution and concern about this project is the
contradiction of the material. Somewhere, someone
made the decision to pull in opposite directions
at the same time throughout the entire damn project.
Either Big lo is trying to be a corny, spiritual
intellect, or he is a fake ass wanna be thug. Therein
lies the flaw. On one song it's about saving hip-hop
and the children from "unnamed artists"
that speak on drugs, bitches hoes and killings.
Then on the very next take, he does an entire song
to drugs, numerous references to bitches, hoes,
killings, and thugism. I would say, "NEGRO
, PLEASE!", but he's white. Big Lo pushes the
envelope of a Muslim jihad, anti-America, anti-Zionism
rebel thug, who will peel ya cap and "f@#!"
ya "bitches" if you cross him. Look. Either
this cat is a confused ex-military fanatic, or current
intelligence operant. I'll put this project in a
nutshell by quoting the beloved disciples Dead Prez:
"if you a liar liar/pants on fire/wolf crier/agent
with a wire/I'm gon' know it when I play it/It's
bigga' than HIP-HOP. This project gets flagged with
a 3, and a 4 respectively.
