 Rating:  - AmazingI really enjoyed this cd, it has a hip hop flavor that talks about real topics instead of the usual bling & hoes lyrics that artists talk about now. Don't get me wrong, I love 50 Cent, Akon, Lil Wayne, and T-Pain, but it's nice to hear something real for a change. I would recommend buying this album, it's definately worth it. I'm the poorest law student there is right now and even I coughed up the $16 to get it. Rating: - Unexpectedly AmazingI ordered this expecting something comparable to most U.S. rap, and instead discovered a very tribal, interesting rap. If you are a fan of Hip/Hop and enjoy a positive message willing to poke at popular culture this CD is for you. His message of survival and desire to be different are refreshing. Rating: - Jal Goes WestEmmanuel Jal's 2005 CD, Ceasefire, was a musically brilliant and daunting collaboration with Northern Sudanese artist Abdel Gadir Salem. With lyrics a mashup of Arabic and Nuer, segmented by occasional outbreaks of English, the music carries a heavy load. For those of us stuck in the land of English, it brings the message through.

Most of the songs pertain to trying to effect peace in Sudan and other African countries. This time the album is mostly in English which gives it a different sound and feel from Ceasefire. I like Jal, but he needs to work on his delivery when using the english language. I understand that he is sharing a message of peace and sharing his story and that of other Sudanese lost boys, but for it to be effective he has to be an effective performance. Jal seems effect great responses from live crowds, but its not the same on wax. |
