Music reviews of Thesis
Music Review: 6 years waitin' for what's been marinadin'
Rating: 4 Stars
The last solo album from Cross Movement's Ambassador had some great moments but overall it didn't scream "buy me". This one is much more consistent. There's truly nothing on here that I feel is poor...even the lesser cuts are pretty good. The best stuff on here is leaps and bounds over,say, "Products of the City Life" from CHRISTOLOGY (which I thought was one of the better cuts off that album).
HIGHLIGHTS:
See if you don't end up chantin' "A-M-B-A SS A-D-O-R" along with him before the song's over. It's here he states his manifesto: a love for hip-hop culture and those involved and a hope to introduce them to Jesus. ("I'm rappin' as long as I can till the chasm is gone/I know a God who'll put a Lazarus on 'em") S.O.U.L. and Cross Movement bandmate Da T.R.U.T.H. guest on "Feels Good", a celebration of the Christian life. ("It feels good/when you don't have to run from the cops/And duck when they come to the block/It feels good/not to be duped by a lie/But know how to use the truth to survive") "Get You Open" says he'll use the tools of hip-hop to "get you open" to the Gospel. ("And life after the casket's real/And since that's the deal/His word gets spilled when I grasp the steel/Forget mass appeal my heavenly Dad can deal/With making His word something that all cats can feel") "Elements" sends big ups to the "parts" of the hip-hop sound. "Body Talk" asks ladies to be modest in a non-legalistic way. ("I know you can blame it on the weakness of men/But the weakness is made weaker when we see your skin") "My Clothes, My Hair" points out the error in making cultural preferences "God's law". ("They elevate their own/they celebrate/They make their own what's right/They say it's what you like") "Back Home" reminds club bangers that God wants to know them,too ("You, in the Maybach/Laid back with the wave cap/Make your way back home/You, in the Von Dutch/Louis Vuittoned up/Girl, your times up-come back home..")
LOWS:
I could do without "intros" and "interludes"...they're just a pet peeve of mine on hip-hop CDs. But they're entrenched and probably will never go away. Out of the real songs, I think "We Worship You" is fairly repetitive and not up to the standard of the best tunes here, though it's not "bad".
BOTTOM LINE:
This is one of the best Christian rap CDs I've heard to this point...up there with John Reuben's ARE WE THERE YET? (ASIN B00004T9SY) and DeepSpace5's NIGHT WE CALLED IT A DAY (ASIN B00005UMSP). As far as that goes, I'd put it up alongside stuff like Jurassic 5 and Ugly Duckling, too. Recommended.
