guilty simpson- ode to the ghetto
Stones Throw
Do we really need another ghetto-centric rapper rhymin’ about crime on a record? How about another Detroit MC doing it? Guess what? Guilty Simpson pulls this concept off with a righteous throwdown that even honors his idol Kool G. Rap mightily. Here, often concussive beats accompany a burgeoning wordsmith (a couplet discloses, “They wanna see the crew with cases/they tell me that I’m too abrasive”). Guilty even respects Detroit’s musical roots with a bit of techno on “Footwork” on this laudable album.
