Presents Maroons: Ambush album
 $8.09  
Diamond D had quietly provided some exciting production work and made strides within the rap music industry and community throughout the early '90s, but his name didn't become immediately recognizable until his classic guest appearance rapping on A Tribe Called Quest's "Show Business" ("Take it from Diamond/It's like mountain climbing/When it comes to rhyming/You gotta put your time in"), off their masterful second album, The Low End Theory. Even amid vintage verses by such lauded hip-hop company as Tribe's Q-Tip and Phife and Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar and Sadat X, something about Diamond D's forthright and rock-solid, but totally laid-back, style stood out. Hip-hop heads waiting to hear more from him were rewarded with a veritable wealth of treasures when Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop, Diamond D's debut album, was released the following year. The album instantly became -- and remains -- something of an underground masterpiece. Stunts is a hugely sprawling, amorphous thing. Nearly 70 minutes would generally seem far too long for a hip-hop album to sustain any degree of good taste, especially one that is mostly song-based and keeps the de rigueur between-song skits to a minimum. There is, in fact, a fair amount of filler here; but even that filler, after several listens, is so ingratiating that the album would seem incomplete without it, and it helps the album to actually be listenable in its entirety, as a single, long, whole statement.

| | Pete Rock Petestrumentals CD (2001) (Import) United Kingdom
Presents Maroons: Ambush CD music
$8.99 
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
PeteStrumentals follows Jay Dee's Welcome 2 Detroit as the second offering in BBE's producer spotlight "Beat Generation" series. If you approach Pete Rock's joint as a song-oriented pop album, you may feel disappointed. Only two tracks ("Cake" and "Nothin' Lesser - Jamie's Mix") feature MCs and the repetitive, consistently mid-tempo beats get somewhat monotonous by the end of most tracks. If you approach the album as a radical work of sonic architecture, you may also feel disappointed, since Rock's relatively old-school sensibility isn't likely to make you hear music in a completely new way. But if you approach PeteStrumentals on its own terms -- as a laid-back collection of atmospheric beats ideal for late-night chilling or freestyling over -- then you may enjoy Pete Rock's soulful funk-jazz grooves, which are first rate for this type of recording. The deep bass and whispered "play back" vocal sample on "For the People," jazzy piano loop on "Hip Hopcrisy," big-band sax on "Smooth Sailing," layered horns and vibes on "Pete's Jazz," and strings on "Give It to Y'all" (as well as the scratching that starts about two minutes into the song) all fit together to form a first-rate instrumental joint. The MC tracks with Rock Marciano, ...
| | J-Live Best Part CDs (2001)
Presents Maroons: Ambush music CDs
$13.89 
After early singles "Braggin' Writes" and "Longevity" earned J-Live a spot in the Source's Unsigned Hype column and inclusion on DJ Premier's NY REALITY CHECK 101 compilation, the then-SUNY student was heralded among underground heads as the next big thing. Recorded between 1995 and '99 while he earned his degree, worked as a public school teacher in Brooklyn, and collaborated with big-name producers like Prince Paul, Pete Rock, and Premier, J-Live's debut LP was shelved due to label complications until 2001. An entertaining ...

$11.35
Not since the glory days of Eric B. & Rakim has so much hip-hop intensity exuded from one MC & one DJ. With a voice echoing the measured sermons of KRS-One and Black Thought, and with just a hint of Kool Keith dementia, Blackalicious MC Gift of Gab unfurls his narratives with an inspired mix of deliberation and fire, throwing out a flurry of ideas so immense it takes multiple listens to absorb them, but with a delivery so appealing as to never overwhelm. Meanwhile, DJ Chief Xcel throws together beats both familiar and far-flung in a manner that, even when he experiments, no listener is left behind. Their third offering, THE CRAFT, is one of those rare records (like THINGS FALL APART ...
