They don’t pretend to be Native Tongues or try to imitate the output of D.I.T.C., but they come off like the logical antecedent of those artists, as if the lineage from one to the other has remained unbroken by the last 10 years of capitalist confusion, or at least as if the reigns of those artists had continued uninterrupted.
DJ and producer 100dBs kills the beats and dusty loops throughout, but sparkles acutely on joints like “Killer Combo,” “Must Be Love,” and both “Get Down!” and “Hustle” where he freaks some of the most clever and expertly integrated vocal samples I’ve heard recently. Some of emcee Ryan O’Neil’s better moments come on the same tracks, especially the non-stop slick-talk of “Get Down!,” the crate-digger references of “Killer Combo,” and the love-letter to music “Must Be Love.” And when they get a little naughty on tracks like “Do You Feel Me,” “Get Low” and “She Got a Body” the result is some of the most original pimp shit since Dres was kicking it with his “Similak Child” back in 1991.
All I can hope is that the way our music is presented changes enough so that when some aging Hip-Hop head listens to a group like 100dBs & Ryan O’Neil 10 years from now they can just listen without feeling compelled to point at the speaker saying “this is why I can’t listen to Rap anymore.”
