![]() ![]() Flawless to the point I started to cling to each line, giving my undivided attention to what would be said next. There were only a few lines on the entire album that I found rythmically awkward in comparison to the flawless execution of it all. The lyrical delivery is what really sets Intuition apart from the pack. And I found myself actually caring about the characters because they often defined undesirable traits in people I knew, or even myself. Tracks 2 & 3 are where Intuition starts to show the depth of his craft He truly is something of a word-smith creating intricate and sympathetic characters in each of his songs. Was that real guitar, bass, and he's not using a drum kit? Were those bongos? Surely not not since People Under the Stairs, had i heard something so real and engaging. A snap driven, jazzy little number, I was amazed at the audacity of the sample. ![]() The first track, "story to tell" immedietly grabbed my attention. So upon first listen, I went into this album a bit skeptical, not really expecting anything i hadn't heard before. ![]() If I can't get into the beat, chances are I wont give a *** about what the artist has to say before he even says it. As a casual rap/hip hop fan, (i stress casual) it is important that the samples are enjoyable for me to like the song. And frankly, maybe they're right.īut before I get into the actual rapping, I'd like to make a point about something. I can't name any Tupac or Biggie songs, and I've even bought into the naive concept of Lil Wanye being the "best rapper alive." I grew up on Dylan (Bob) and Young (Neil) so perhaps some might say I'm out of my element that I lack the frame of reference to throw words like "classic" around at any hip hop album. To be completely honest, I don't know dog*** about the history of hip hop, beyond what I've seen on VH1. The immaculate sample selection and disgustingly impressive verbiage make for an enjoyable album with few to no flaws.Įvery once in a while, I get ahold of an album that proceeds to shatter any pre-concieved notions I've had regarding what a particular genre should be. Review Summary: A true classic in every sense of the word, in that the album will appeal to fans of any genre. ![]()
