Return Of The Wild Cowboy…

nate love

The lineup for the ‘Lo-End Theory just keeps getting better. The addition of Sadat-X brings us that much closer to a Brand Nubian reunion at the event. I’m keeping my fingers crossed…

On Tuesday I caught up with the god at a release party for his latest album ‘Wild Cowboys II’. This is an appropriate name for this disk. There are 16 tracks and each one has a feature. Some have multiple features. Other than the four(4) tracks produced by Will Tell every track boast a different beatmaker. Instead of the album being disjointed Sadat-X anchors the album as the constant throughout.

Sadat uses his veteran status to travel all across the country recruiting rappers and producers. Pete Rock, Rhymefest, Kurupt, Shawn Black, Shabaam Sadeeq, Buckwild, ILL Bill, Minnesota, Vast Aire along with Lord Jamar and Grand Puba just to remind you ain’t a damn thing changed. Sadat-X rocks with each soundscape as if he were trying out for a job interview. He passed the test years ago, but he still rhymes like he has something to prove.

Sadat-X and Rhymefest trade hilarious verses on this track…

‘Roll That’

I fux with this joint featuring Shawn Black…

‘We Kewl’

Awww shit. Brand Nubian is in the building. Is that Game on the hook?

‘Long Years’

Old man rap is still valuable in Hip-Hop because with these veterans comes the perspective of living life in the industry for ten, even fifteen years. Those experiences need to find the ears of today’s listeners. Sadat-X represents boundless, borderless Hip-Hop. No city, no region, no country. From the Bronx to the universe. With two L’s up.

    On Long Years, I am pretty sure that the hook is just a slightly distorted Nas sample from Nas Is Like.

    ^ Yup, you’re right. Does NaS still rap?

    ^I don’t get it. Anyway Sadat’s album is terrible. He’s one of the illest though, but those beats didn’t suit him IMO. I was really dissappointed by this and Deck’s album.

  5. NaS should (w)rap his hands around his ex-wife’s throat. Poor guy…

    I chose not to review this album since it would have required me to disrespect the god on a number of levels.

  7. the_dallas says:

    ^ What were your expectations for the album? The joint has a lot of features with rappers putting up real verses and not throwaway lines.

    Everybody is shitting on these albums and I don’t understand why. The effort put into making them wasn’t subpar. The Wu Massacre album however…

    @DP: The music was horrible on most of it. The track-listing looked promising, but most of the people involved didn’t deliver their best. It was good to hear Shawn Bliggy again though, and Money Boss won as usual.
