Reviews3.5 Mics - Dope - "It's easy to see why Guru plucked Bahamadia from the underground Philly scene and enlisted her in the venerable Gang Starr Foundation....a strong intelligent Black woman, something that is much needed in hip-hop today.", "...Her restrained, low-key confidence makes some of rap's ranters and ravers seem uncool by comparison." - Rating: B+, "The album's soulful soundscape -- etched with funk-filled valleys and jazzy peaks -- was constructed by SkiBeats and fellow Illadeph crew The Roots....Simply scintillating.", 8 (out of 10) - "...To mention the fact that she's a female is unnecessary....Pay attention to the fact that she can chuck 'em with the best MCs known to man--after all she's one of 'em...", "...half-produced by Premier and that's pretty much how it breaks up, the Premo tracks overshadowing everything else, the lyrical flow best served when running up against his anti-linear beats and loops. Worth checking for these but beware of filla...", 6 - Reasonably Good - "...The main romance on this album is between Bahamadia and words, the pleasures of hip-hop lyricism--alliteration and internal rhymes...", "...she comes off flirty but intelligent, lovely but serious. Her rhymes are tricky circles of metaphor and illusion, a mesmerizing mix of unbelievably consistent articulation and snappy whispers....she's breaking ground with mad skills and style..."
Additional InformationMuch-lauded 1996 debut from Philly rapper with unique monotone delivery, features some of DJ Premier's best beats.
