Music reviews of Ny's Finest
Music Review: Solid Material (Rating: 6 out of 10- -3.0 stars)
Rating: 3 Stars
Of course you know that Pete Rock is one of the greatest producers in this hip hop game, so there is no question that the production is going to be banging. All the beats here are going to range from good to excellent on the 15 tracks on this album, so I really won't go into much detail with that.
The problem is the obvious: Medicore lyrics. With the exception of maybe three tracks, the lyrics here are nowhere near impressive. Of course you know Jim Jones and Max B are bad, and they waste a great beat on "We Roll". I agree that even Pete Rock has been slippin on the mic as well, and it really shows since he himself rhymes on almost every song. Many sources told me "Till I Retire" was the best track on the album, but I only see it as okay (dope scratching of Run DMC on the hook though). Styles P. and Sheek Louch of the LOX comes in for a dope "914". "Questions" is nice from Royal Flush, someone I haven't heard in over a decade rhyming. Redman does his thing with LD and Pete on "Best Believe" with a great beat. Some other people I haven't heard in a while are Chip Fu (from the Fu Schnickens) and Renee Neufuville (from Zhane) appear on the solid reggae sounding track "Ready Fe War". Pete Rock can prove that he himself can waste great beats too, with bad rhyming on "Don't Be Mad". Little Brother and Joe Scudda appear on "Bring Y'all Back", one of the better tracks on this album. The Lords Of The Underground make "Best Kept Secret", a track that should have appeared on their last album. "Thats What I'm Talking About" featuring Rell, is my favorite track on this album. Pete's lyrical ability shines on that song as well, redeeming him from bad lyrics on earlier tracks. "The PJ's" featuring Raekwon and Masta Killa is a solid track. "Made Man" features Tarrey Torae is another okay track. "Lets Go" has a spectacular beat, and Doo Woop sounds alright. Unfortunately the track itself is under a minute and a half. The album closes off with "Comprehend" with Papoose, who sounds wack on the track.
Overall, Pete Rock's latest album is good. As mentioned before the beats are good, but the lyrics are not. Only a few rappers bring something new to the table (Royal Flush, LB, Redman), but outside of that, there is very little to offer for on the lyrical side of things (I hate to bring this up, but where is CL when you need him). This is one of the times I would say search for the instrumentals for this album, and download the tracks that I said stood out. Peace.
