Self Scientific Change CD

 S.S. is The Truth!
Been a fan from day 1 and I knew they wouldn't dissapoint. Once again it's all here, the beats(nuff variations for everyone), the flows and everything else in between. Peeps been sleeping on these cats for too long and it's a damn shame. People need to wake up from the mental death they're livin in and listen to the real/positive/inteligent ish. Props to S.S. and all of Allah's children, bless!!!!!!!!!

 Understand me, Love Bird, this is what you need.
I have been listening to Self Scientific since i was in Grad School at the University of Maryland on WMUC (the campus station). They used to play cuts from "The Self Science" during a show on Friday nights called From Dusk Til Dawn. I remember listening to "The Return", "Opus", and "The Long Run" and thinking that it was incredible, and eventually i picked up the CD (once I found out who it was). Since then I've been waiting for over five years for a new full length CD. Luckily, "The Works" and "Gods and Gangstas" gave me some food for thought in between, but I have been craving this one. There is no arguing that this CD is up there with Common's "Be" and Little Brother's "The Minstrel Show" as one of the best hip-hop cd's this year and probably the last five years since...well, "The Self Science". Khalil's production is elevated and Chace's rhymes are pure poetry. This CD is an overture, a symphony, an opus. Every time I listen to it, and i've already listened to it through multiple times, I find something new. I thought they would be hard pressed to equal the Self Science and even songs like "One" and "Changes, Pt I", but they have done it. My expectations were high, but they've definitely been exceeded. And its not formulaic or redundant, this is something completely new, something changed. Obviously this CD is about growth and building, but hip-hop needs to stop and listen. These are real platinum artists, representing real issues in an incredibly lucid way and, as Chace puts it on "King Kong", "...I'm guessing what makes me a little bit different, I figure why rap and say nothing significant." The songs that have, so far, made the most impact on me are "Change", "Weight of the World", and "Chace's Theme", but I can't even bring myself to skip through any of the songs...even "2 Step" which i've read the most criticism of on the internet. I find "2 Step" interesting in the context of how they introduce it with King Tek's request for a club anthem. Its kind of like the Percy Miracles track on "The Minstrel Show". Its almost sarcasm, but I can definitely say, i'd love to be at a club in LA and hear it come on. My guess is it will definitely work well with the ladies. Basically, this CD is the Truth...period. Self Scientific is the best duo in Hip-hop since Gang Starr.
