Dilated Peoples are one of the most creative and compelling underground crews in West Coast hip-hop, consistently striking a balance between laid-back grooves and intelligent street-savvy rhymes. 20/20 offers more of the same, albeit in a loose and freewheeling format. The album plays with a variety of styles and beats (some of which are provided by Alchemist), giving Evidence and Rakaa a chance to freestyle rather than stick to a script, and letting DJ Babu cut up something fierce on the turntables. While it may lack the focus of some of DP's other outings, it is still a fine example of L.A.'s underground sound, and guest spots from Talib Kweli and dancehall star Capelton help sweeten the pot.

Audio Mixers: Manny Marroquin; Dilated Peoples; Richard Huredia; Troy Staton.

Recording information: Al Gibbs Mobile Studio, Capelton's Room; Ameraycan Studios, North Hollywood, CA; Daddy's Room, Corona, CA; Soundproof East, Los Angeles, CA.

Dilated Peoples: Rakaa, Evidence, Babu.

Personnel: Dodee Westbeach, Simon Rex, Noelle, Kenny Morrison, Phil Da Agony (vocals); Jeff Babko (keyboards).

Additional personnel: Talib Kweli, Capleton (rap vocals).

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Rakaa and Evidence spit rhymes that get political and social without skimping on punch lines, while DJ Babu cuts up beats generous enough for hip-hop connoisseurs."
Uncut (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Consistently one of hip hop's finest live propositions, Dilated have refocused on the 'skills'..."

20/20 is a good album. Good beats come along with some decent lyrics. Typical Dilated. If you like their other ones, you'll find some heat here.

2 stars Dissapointing
I'm a huge DP fan but this was a huge dissapointment as it is not a patch on the music that they were putting out around the time of 'The Platform' or 'Expansion Team' where anything with their name on it was a sure purchase. 'N'hood Watch' was different but good but them 'seeing clearly' on this one is bordering on a joke. they need to bring back the better beats and lyrics next time round and step it up.

Talib Kweli Beautiful Struggle CD  (2004)

20/20
CD $12.59  3.8 stars Audio Samples
Talib Kweli, as with the finest artists, is possessed by a love of his medium--in this case, rap and its history. Applying his thoughtful words to music, Kweli revels in hip-hop, and his adoration of the genre is clear in all his work. Each of Kweli's records, whether alone or with Mos Def (as part of Black Star) or Hi-Tek, incorporates hints of melodies past, lines plucked from the performers who preceded him, as well as deeply studied lyrics created by his own fertile mind. So it is with Kweli's third solo outing, THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE, which alludes to the history of many forms of music while the rapper muses eloquently about revolutions and poverty and their relation to war and shattered dreams. Kweli tells an intricate story of struggling, succeeding, and failing on "Broken Glass," and jumps around from one frustration to the next on the ultimately inspirational title track. On the latter, ...

Love & The Russian Winter
Simply Red Love & The Russian Winter CD  (1999)

20/20
CD $9.29  2.3 stars Audio Samples
Any CD whose booklet includes a lengthy quote from Plato's SYMPOSIUM (huh?) can probably be accused with some justification of at least flirting with pretension. That said, Simply Red's last album of the millennium is more or less of a piece with its previous work--a modern take on '70s R&B and disco soul, heavily influenced by Gamble and Huff's songwriting and production style and (vocally) by Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke (Mick Hucknall's keening tenor has deepened a bit, but if anything it lends him a certain becoming gravitas). The one obvious departure ...
