I have been listening to a lot of 90's hip-hop again recently, after a break of a couple of years. A lot of the stuff from the era sounds dated now, you notice how the samples are "flying" in and the production skill is less of a mystery these days. However this LP is one of a few examples of an opposite nature. Just like "3 feet high and rising" from De La Soul for it just refuses to sound abused. This second LP of Organized Konfusion totally rocks me, but it doesn't try to rock production wise. The snare and drum sounds are kind of thin compared to other things from 1994, but it leaves the instrumental tracks a lot more space to breath and develop their full jazzy deepness. It also feels less loop based than other LP's from around that time, but uses the jazz and funk samples like they tried to create a proper jazz LP with hardcore rap's over it, definitely one of the most creative hip-hop LP's out there. No fillers, all killers and great to listen through, until the end without getting boring or too loopy.

The raps from Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch fit the nature of the music very well, pure creativity in the vein of what hip hop is all about, bringing the definition of skill and style to the next level. The colourful language and rhythmic finesse in their flow strike a balance between the peacefully blunt and raw and street.
Just listen to "Bring it on", "Black Sunday", "Let's Organize", "Keep It Koming", "Stray Bullet" or the single "Stress" to hear for yourself.

The cover is pure dopeness and was released on the obscure Hollywood Basic Label. This is one of the classics from the golden era of hip hop.
In my book, it rates alongside
Main Source "Breaking Atoms",
De La Soul "3 feet High and Rising",
Diamond D "Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop"
or
Gang Starr "Step in the Arena"

Thank you Guys for giving me a good time listening to this again and again!

This is simply one of the best Hip Hop LP´s from the golden age.

I remember comming home from the record store, light a splif and put the record on, it completely blow me away.
Somehow most of the old DITC stuff is totally classic material that is still more relevant / timeless than other production of that era.
No gimmick's here. This is raw, straight to the point hip hop with funky sampling and dope raps that will put you into the zone.
