Got to be my album of the week, feels like I should be hearing it off a tape deck. Kept the vinyl crackle and the soul sample strong but still feels fresh and new. Doesn't cut up a sample like Dilla did but its clear the Motor City is still leading the way when it comes to the nicest production right now. Its good to hear a producer who has actually got some bars too. Black's not a poet but still has enough lyrical ability to carry his beats, although the tracks with Slum Village, Baatin, Phat Kat and Guilty Simpson show how an emcee can really damage his production.Saturday, 10 November 2007

Hey Ben, nice blog...glad to see you like Black Milk. Tune of the year thus far - The Victory (KRS1 + Marley Marl feat Blaq Poet & Premier)...
nice but not sure I could put it down as the tune of the year, guess I just wish KRS could make up his mind wether he's a preacher or the bragadocious type. But this is hip hop, home of the contradiction.
