███▓  The general topic approached by rappers has continually changed      ▓███
███▓  since its initial rise to fame in the early-to-mid 80's. In its      ▓███
███▓  early days, hip-hop was more about boasts concerning technical       ▓███
███▓  skills or simply exploration of the genre (Erik B. & Rakin); in the  ▓███
███▓  late-80's, gangsta rap and crime-related subjects got in vogue       ▓███
███▓  (N.W.A.); in the early/mid-90's, the gangsta image grew more         ▓███
███▓  sophisticated (Notorious B.I.G.); by the time the 2000's came        ▓███
███▓  around, I have no idea, things just snowballed from that point on.   ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Now, when I talk about the general behavior of an entire genre, I    ▓███
███▓  am either 80%+ sure that I'm not talking shit or I'm explicitly      ▓███
███▓  making a guesstimation of what was going on instead of checking for  ▓███
███▓  myself (turns out you don't learn that much about music history      ▓███
███▓  from just listening to music), so here goes: unless groups that I    ▓███
███▓  haven't checked out, such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul,    ▓███
███▓  completely fuck up my theory, then it wouldn't be incorrect to       ▓███
███▓  believe that most of the hip-hop around the 90's had serious         ▓███
███▓  undertones. Many popular songs and albums were fun to listen to,     ▓███
███▓  but the context surrounding the fun was often much less joyous.      ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  So, why talk about "fun"? Well, one peculiar rapper appeared in      ▓███
███▓  late 1991. To contextualize, Public Enemy had released Fear Of A     ▓███
███▓  Black Planet a year ago, and N.W.A. had already released             ▓███
███▓  EFIL4ZAGGIN earlier in 1991 before splitting up. A Tribe Called      ▓███
███▓  Quest and De La Soul (both groups that I have yet to listen to)      ▓███
███▓  were in full swing that year. Where hip-hop was going was yet to     ▓███
███▓  really be figured out without the entry of power players like Nas    ▓███
███▓  and Biggie Smalls, but in 1991, Ice Cube's cousin decided to make    ▓███
███▓  an album.                                                            ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Teren Delvon Jones, also known as Del The Funky Homosapien (or Del   ▓███
███▓  Tha Funkee Homosapien), released his first record, I Wish My         ▓███
███▓  Brother George Was Here, at the age of 19, with Ice Cube as          ▓███
███▓  executive producer; he put out a good half-dozen albums or more in   ▓███
███▓  the following decades, and has most recently released an entire      ▓███
███▓  album on Soundcloud for free on the 2nd of January this year. As     ▓███
███▓  far as I'm informed, he remains a small but still fondly regarded    ▓███
███▓  footnote in music history. I think I understand why.                 ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  The Album                                                            ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  I'll be honest here: this might be in my top 20, or maybe even my    ▓███
███▓  top 10 favorite hip-hop albums of all time. I'd even dare say        ▓███
███▓  without a doubt that I find it superior to N.W.A.'s entire           ▓███
███▓  discography in terms of albums and EPs. There are a bunch of         ▓███
███▓  reasons too: it's one of those albums where there are tons of        ▓███
███▓  things to say, which is definitely good for me! To jump a head a     ▓███
███▓  little bit, I already count a good 6 masterpieces minimum in this    ▓███
███▓  record off the top of my head.                                       ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Let's talk about the most important element of this record first:    ▓███
███▓  the identity. IWMBGWH has an incredible identity: instead of         ▓███
███▓  playing out like the usual party rap/gangsta rap stuff that          ▓███
███▓  Straight Outta Compton and other records introduced, it's a whole    ▓███
███▓  different beast altogether, as Del explores the party rap lifestyle  ▓███
███▓  in a much more solitary way; there are no actual parties depicted,   ▓███
███▓  but the energy you'd get at a party is still in there thanks to      ▓███
███▓  Del's energy and the sampling.                                       ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  In that regard, it's kind of like the hip-hop equivalent of a        ▓███
███▓  really good children's cartoon where they actually explore deeper    ▓███
███▓  issues and introduce your kid to something more profound at a young  ▓███
███▓  age in a well-done manner: the record depicts the West Coast inner   ▓███
███▓  city life (generally not represented as a very pleasant one) in a    ▓███
███▓  more tranquil manner, with tracks about particular assholes          ▓███
███▓  pretending to be someone they aren't or jobless friends who keep     ▓███
███▓  sleeping on Del's couch instead of getting a job, but he doesn't     ▓███
███▓  necessarily deny any of the context in which the hip-hop scene is    ▓███
███▓  mainly based in.                                                     ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Another cool thing about this album is the sampling: I imagine it's  ▓███
███▓  not so surprising it's this good, since Ice Cube was a producer,     ▓███
███▓  but the sampling is pretty much like a much more laid-back version   ▓███
███▓  of what we saw on AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted: it's all punchy and       ▓███
███▓  groovy and fun, and just as complimentary to the album's mood as     ▓███
███▓  with AmeriKKKa. An interesting tidbit is that two of the             ▓███
███▓  principally sampled groups in this album are Parliament and          ▓███
███▓  Funkadelic, two seminal 70's funk bands led by the same guy named    ▓███
███▓  George Clinton (the album's name is a reference to George).          ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Del's rapping isn't particularly special: I imagine what makes that  ▓███
███▓  aspect still very unusual is how banal it sounds, though that's      ▓███
███▓  certainly in a good way. Actually, that makes up a large part of     ▓███
███▓  how he talks about things in the album: he's mostly chill through    ▓███
███▓  the course of the record, even when he talks about the less          ▓███
███▓  pleasant aspects of his routine, as if he's used to it at this       ▓███
███▓  point, and I find that really adds to the credibility. As for the    ▓███
███▓  rapping itself, not much comment: it works, his diction is spot-on,  ▓███
███▓  it's actually quite pleasant, even.                                  ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Now, we get to the songs: most of them are incredible, and most of   ▓███
███▓  them touch upon an interesting subject or another. "What Is A        ▓███
███▓  Booty?" serves more as a sort of introduction, and it's perfect in   ▓███
███▓  that regard. When the sampled backbone comes in, you are             ▓███
███▓  immediately met with the quirky, but simultaneously funky            ▓███
███▓  atmosphere that permeates about all of the record (that atmosphere   ▓███
███▓  being if the world had the same color scheme as the album cover).    ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  We quickly meet the best song, "Mistadobalina": a scathing lyrical   ▓███
███▓  beatdown of fraudulent douchebags who hog whatever fad is in these   ▓███
███▓  days so as to feel like they belong even though they don't know      ▓███
███▓  what actually goes on (you know, like a hipster or the closest       ▓███
███▓  thing to a hipster that the 90's would have), it's an irresistible   ▓███
███▓  number that succeeds in every single aspect, whether it's the        ▓███
███▓  amazing percussion, the somewhat thick (less is more?) melodic       ▓███
███▓  sampling, and the unforgettable lines that you can find all over     ▓███
███▓  the place.                                                           ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  We carry on with "The Wacky World Of Rapid Transit", where Del       ▓███
███▓  attempts to use public transportation while doing his damnedest not  ▓███
███▓  to fuck something up and while trying not to get harassed, all to    ▓███
███▓  the beat of a particularly driving sample. The frantic speed of      ▓███
███▓  this one makes it an instant winner: tons of things are going on,    ▓███
███▓  but it's still entirely focused (yes, it only lasts 3 minutes, but   ▓███
███▓  there is room for fucking up a 3-minute song via too much shit       ▓███
███▓  going on at once).                                                   ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  "Pissin' On Your Steps" is a really good one also, where Del         ▓███
███▓  straight up talks shit about MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice: already I    ▓███
███▓  would be repeating myself if I were to talk about how phenomenal     ▓███
███▓  the sampling is, but when you got the lyrics at hand, the song's     ▓███
███▓  loads of fun. We also have yet another great song, "Dark Skin        ▓███
███▓  Girls" is much more groove- and beat-oriented in terms of sampling,  ▓███
███▓  which fits the more beat-driven flair that Del's rapping takes on    ▓███
███▓  as he talks about the differences between lighter-skinned and        ▓███
███▓  darker-skinned black women (as the title implies, he prefers         ▓███
███▓  darker-skinned women a lot more).                                    ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  So, I've already gone over 5 songs, and I almost feel like just      ▓███
███▓  quickly going over to the conclusion because I'd rather listen to    ▓███
███▓  this album than to talk about it, so I'll make myself briefer and    ▓███
███▓  look over the best remaining tracks: for instance, we have "Dr.      ▓███
███▓  Bombay", which seems to be a kind of continuation of                 ▓███
███▓  "Mistadobalina" (the two were released as singles), and while it's   ▓███
███▓  not a particular highlight, I still like it a lot, if only because   ▓███
███▓  of the sampling again.                                               ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  "Sunny Meadowz" is a very mellow song, which makes sense because     ▓███
███▓  this is a track about Del's morning routine: I guess you can         ▓███
███▓  consider it a breather, but the beat still has a lot of the punch    ▓███
███▓  that you hear on other tracks. Either way, it's a comparatively      ▓███
███▓  relaxing doozy, followed by the more active "Sleepin' On My Couch",  ▓███
███▓  where Del says he's getting fed up with friends ending up on his     ▓███
███▓  couch for a whole bunch of reasons/excuses, offering us along with   ▓███
███▓  that another cool musical backbone along with the hilarious end of   ▓███
███▓  the song where he throws a couch potato out the window. No           ▓███
███▓  transcribing could make it justice.                                  ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  The other tracks I haven't mentioned are all very good. Subjects     ▓███
███▓  range from wearing Vans to saying that much of hip-hop is the same   ▓███
███▓  old thing.                                                           ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Conclusion                                                           ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Oh, yeah, also, Del was on Deltron 3030.                             ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Now that I got my hip-hop-loving demographic's attention back, I     ▓███
███▓  can proceed: I Wish My Brother George Was Here, like a lot of other  ▓███
███▓  hip-hop albums (including AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, incidentally)     ▓███
███▓  might only appeal to you on the same level as me due to context,     ▓███
███▓  i.e in comparison to other hip-hop records, but definitely not on    ▓███
███▓  the same level as something like Illmatic. In fact, you might        ▓███
███▓  actually like this one a lot on your first listen.                   ▓███
███▓                                                                       ▓███
███▓  Either way, this album is worth the try: it's loads of fun, it's     ▓███
███▓  well-produced, it doesn't require the same kind of preparation as    ▓███
███▓  whatever other heavyweight hip-hop masterpiece out there, and it's   ▓███
███▓  a good piece of energetic music that's sure to add just that little  ▓███
███▓  extra kick of flair and personality to your general collection.      ▓███
███▓  Look at that, that almost sounded like a concise sentence you'd      ▓███
███▓  read in an actual music magazine!                                    ▓███
