Release Notes: ░██▓
██▒
Another Dopefolks Sureshot!! I continue to be impressed with ██░
every release. Recently they dropped the Legion Of D.U.M.E ██
EP and the Courageous Chief "Warpath Reissue" both super ██
quality material. Now the latest, straight out of Philly ██
██
Prophets Of The Ghetto are Norfstar, Neet Mata, Ken Cut, DJ, ██
Dyce, Ben Ellis, Gamez Masta & DBLà ██
██
This record is no nonsense from the opening second, with a ██
quick message from Sista Souljah before setting it off with ██
ôThe Battleö, an excellent introductory track. It showcases ██
their laidback but assertive nature, casually unique rhyme ██
patterns, Islamic path, and their serious mannerisms with a ██
hint of humor. ██
██
Thru out the EP, the production is nicely done, with only ██
one clearly noticeable break-beat (ôImpeach The Presidentö ██
on ô$Kurrency$ö) and packed with blunt drums, jazzy samples, ██
an occasional keyboard, and the frequent appearance of ██
subtle-ly loud hi-hats. ██
██
The MCs have a range of deliveries and approaches, but each ██
puts thought into their writing and utilizes their own brand ██
of aggressiveness. ██
██
Some of the material here was officially released ██
previously. In Æ96 they released the ôDa Expansionö 12ö (b/w ██
with ô$Kurrency$ö and ôSave Da Chit-Chatö) on Rock On ██
Records. Then in Æ99 they dropped ôThe Battleö b/w ôSuave ██
Soulö on Soul Hole Records. All of those tracks, save one, ██
are included on this Dopefolks release. However, if you can ██
track down the originals you get blessed with the ██
instrumentals as well. ██
██
The other 4 tracks all appear to be previously unreleased. A ██
couple of those are definitely my favorites on the EP. ôWest ██
Philö is certainly a highlight. It starts of lovely with MCs ██
just trading lines backûn-forth while outlining their ██
history in the game. In the 3rd verse, the listener is given ██
a nice quick overview of the Philly Underground Hip Hop ██
scene. In terms of Hometown/Neighborhood anthems this one is ██
a great and well-rounded representation. ██
ôBlock Is Hotö displays the crewÆs skill for visual imagery ██
and storytelling. ██
██
ThereÆs something super ill about the phrasing, nonchalant ██
demeanor and details to the second half of the first verse: ██
██
ôAround my block, yo, the strangest things be happening/The ██
other day this kid caught one in the abdomen/First they was ██
wrastling, playing around/But shorty got mad when he got ██
brokedown/He got up off the ground,/Looking at everybody ██
laughing/Caught feelings, left, and then came back like an ██
assassin/Starting blasting/on his whole entire squad/But the ██
things is, he didnÆt even get slammed that hard/Life is ██
odd/I mean they grew up side by side/But pride invaded and ██
turned love to hatred/I guess I take it/ just a lil bit too ██
close to heart/He banged me in the arm and blew my mans ██
chest apart/But now he marked/ the beast is looking for him ██
black/But IÆm tell em I donÆt know jack, donÆt know where he ██
at/And on the low keep my hammer cocked and ready/Run up in ██
his hotties spot and make the block hot/I kid you not/I got ██
17 shots waiting/Hollow tip with his name on the ██
casing/Waiting patient, patiently ██
waiting/Contemplating/Whether or not the glockÆll pop when ██
the block gets hot.ö ██
Even though the story sounds the most outlandish on the ██
track (who knows, itÆs probably the true oneàha), thereÆs ██
just something about his approach that makes it seem the ██
most heartfelt. ██
██
ôMuffled Micsö flips a slowed down version of the same ██
sample source as Mental Giants ôGood Foodö. ItÆs purely on ██
the freestyle battle tip and contains what is probably the ██
best verse on the record, ôI Grab the mic with greatness, ██
confidence and patience/people come to shows, their goalÆs ██
to imitate this/Rap basic, stay on tracks like Asics/I ██
should a write a manual on microphone maintenance/First ██
Less(on), donÆt throw threats to the audience/cause they get ██
stressed when you express phoniness/ Two Jewel, this rule ██
stay violated/forget the words to your verse? YouÆre not ██
concentrating/Third, moves in with the force of a elephant ██
herd/state what you relate with no saliva spitting ██
slurs/amateurs who need weed to proceed/should be sliced to ██
death by guillotine machines/itÆs DE-pressing to see you ██
need the herb essence for progression for your verbal attack ██
lessons/The forth shouldÆve been taught when you entered the ██
sport/DonÆt bite what someone else write, follow your own ██
thoughts/catch my drift, the fifth, you ainÆt got the ██
gift/of rap/, got put on cause of your man from way ██
back/What a lame excuse that just got put to use/I was ██
passed the torch and told to executeö ██
██
Honestly, everyone comes off nicely on ôMuffled Micsö, itÆs ██
stock full with quotables, making it a definitely jewel on ██
the EP. ██
██
All in all, nothing is lacking here. Every joint is quality ██
and well worth a listen. They undoubtedly take their ██
lyricism and the Culture extremely serious and express it ██
often and skillfully, but without being preachy. Instead, ██
itÆs delivered with veteran like confidence and matter-of- ██
factness that makes it easy to want to follow them on their ██
mission with no questions asked. ██
██
Various members of the crew are still active and making ██
music and/or moves. IÆm definitely looking to build with ██
more in the near future to uncover more of their story and ██
current path. -Kevin Beacham ██
██
Suprised the "all-stars" haven't done this up. Oh probably ██
cause this LP took a PROFESSIONAL to rip! All mixed, volume ██
levels everywhere. Took the time that this LP deserved to ██
get the best possible rip. This one was in another league ██
than that mcdonalds highschool shit! Oh and once again, FUCK ██
THE SCENE and you faggot ass scan dick suckers. I'm a ██
sodomize ya'll when I get ahold of ya! ██
