RELEASE NOTES:
Dealing with the A side first we have "think", produced also
by himself this is the shizzle! Apollo
comes with something lacking from records these days,
comedy. From the opening line "I carry foot and mouth
disease in a thundferbirds lunchbox, moving through peckham
like a Japenese black OX" you know you're in for a ride, and
trust me, vocally, you won't be disappointed. Whilst
proclaiming to be the black David Hasslehoff, and being
Dwight Yorke's street dentist mashing up his teeth whilst
eating meat fray and bentos, Apollo will have you in
stitches with his word play, infact some of the best i've
heard in a while. The beat itself is nothing extroadinary,
but it's all about the lyrics this track for me. The beat is
simple and effective, straight drum patterns so you can
catch all of the lyrics. All in all this will keep most
people happy, except those expecting a street anthem.
"Nar not me" seems to want to set the record straight about
a few things, as an example "i never compromised my style
for the label cats". Apollo is certainly telling it how it
is about a number of subjects, which if certain people
listened to, i think they would do well to listen to
Apollo's example. This track produced by Jehst has an almost
oriental feel to it. Again the beats are tailored to let
Apollo spit his verse's, which makes the track.
This 12" is currently one of my favourites at the moment
with regular play on my show, it always goes down well.
Something for the more discerning Hip Hop listener, this is
straight up good Hip Hop.
