Music reviews of Soul Survivor
Music Review: On The Solo Tip (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
Rating: 4 Stars
Years after Pete Rock and CL Smooth broke up, Pete would decide to go on and produce a solo album. Now if you're unfamiliar with ANY of Pete rocks credentials, I suggest you go cop Mecca and the Soul Brother & The Main Ingredient before getting any of their solo albums. There you will see why Pete is and has always been such a gifted producer.
So in 1998 we have this Soul Survivor LP. Let me first start by saying that the production here is excellent. Now, you take the hottest, non-over exposed artists around that time and let them rhyme over some of Pete Rock's production, and you have this here. Check out the chemestry shown on "Tru Master" (you don't even have to hear the song and you can guess who's vocal sample is on there) featuring Kurupt and Inspectah Deck.
Now some of you guys (including myself) are completely focused on Pete Rock's production, that you actually forgets that he rhymes too (as heard on the afroementioned albums). He's pretty decent behind the mic, as he rhymes on almost every song. An outstanding song would be the title track, "Soul Survivor" featuring miss jones on the hook. But Pete is at his best, when he is paired up with other rappers, such as "Truly Yours '98" with Large Professor and Kool G. Rap, as well as "Tha Game" with Raekwon, Ghostface, and Prodigy (like how Pete sneaks in his verse at the end of the song). After hearing "Da Two", many people should be begging for him and CL to drop another album together.
More than likely, fans of Pete Rock should already have this album. It was unfortunately slept on tremedously back in fall '98. If you don't have this album, do yourself a favor and pick it up whenever you see it, because you'll be glad you did. And while you're at it, pick up a few more Pete Rock solo releases and CL's solo album. Peace.

Description of Soul Survivor
Debut solo album, released in 1998. Features collaborations with, Method Man, Raekwon, Kool G. Rap, Black Thought, MC Eiht and Heavy D. Features the original 17 tracks. BMG.With his first solo album, Pete Rock reminds us why his past work with partner CL Smooth resulted in some of the most luscious hip-hop beats the art form has ever known. While Rock's lyrical presence falters, his musical craft makes up the difference as the Soul Brother No. 1 switches from the sublimely soulful ("Mind Blowin'") to the ultrafunky ("Da Two") to the dramatically sinister ("The Game"). Soul Survivor may lack the lyrical credentials to contend to be the year's best hip-hop album, but it easily ranks as one of the year's most listenable efforts. Sit down, max, and relax to the sultry sounds of Pete Rock. --Oliver Wang
