Galactic – Ya-Ka-May Reviewed by Sadie O., 2/10/10 Fantastic, super-funky New Orleans “Bounce” Hip Hop with guest artists from back in the day to now. Proves that Nawlins doesn’t have to rely on its standard musical forms – but is more than happy to incorporate them into whatever killer new ideas it’s coming up with today, and it’s come up with a monster with it’s one “Bounce” style of Hip Hop. Awesome! Multiple FCCs on tracks 10 and 15. I like 3, 5, 7, 13 best. 1. 1:17 *midtempo scratch and funk with announcement about neural talent transfer. Sounds a bit like Jimmy Stewart. 2. 3:16 ***big syncopated march with a Latin tinge. Party! 3. 3:24 ****midtempo hip hop bounce, chanting. Funky and upbeat. 4. 3:28 ***downtempo afro-funky beat with claps – and Irma Thomas! 5. 2:08 ****midtempo monotonal electronic funk with sick funky vocals by Big Chief Bo Dollis. 6. 2:54 ***jelly roll piano meets new breed hip hop, with pulsing double-time back beat. After a minute switches to pure funk. Oh yeah! 7. 3:01 *****nuts! Second line beat with completely crazed hip hop vocals. 8. 3:15 ***electronic bass, a bit of second line groove, great horns. 9. 3:11 ***downtempo forceful blues strut with a modern twist, female vocals. 10. 2:31 FCCs – “hey muthafucka” repeated at intro and near end. Midtempo electronic funky hip hop with rather crazed vocals and pulsing electronics. 11. 3:23 ***electronics and downtempo drum line, bluesy vocals. 12. 0:34 half a minute of funky electronic instrumental. 13. 4:04 *****big horns, big roared blues vocals, funk wah-wah guitar, midtempo march with plenty of syncopation. This KILLS. 14. 3:51 **odd, horror-movie electronics and blues vocals/guitar. Downtempo, deeply bluesy, but with fractured funky/clubby beat. 15. 1:08 FCCs – same as track 10 only more of them. Great beat, though. | ||
