Bad aspect is Action Bronson’s awful verse in “Club Soda”. Specific examples is the “MORE FOR US!” ad-lib, and Danny Brown’s wacky singing. The beat literally sounds like some ADHD, gothic, cartoony march through a ruined city. “Drug Parade” sounds like some wild freaked out whimsical parade from the lyrics, the beat, the delivery, everything. Like I said 10000x before, the Zombies are just so thematically potent. I’d be making a book if I were to describe the good aspects of all the songs on this tape, but some of them need to be stated. Additionally, each member of the group has their chance to have a song of their own. That wouldn’t be an easy task, though as there really isn’t a single bad song on here. If it was an album, it would’ve done better shaving off a few of the less impactful songs. Erick is also incredibly expressive in his lyrics like, “The first time I did drugs, it was making the beats”īetterOffDEAD does run a little long though, at 19 songs and about an entire hour worth of music. Throughout this entire album they show you over and over and over again that they are incredible with their flow. Meech just commands so much power with his voice on the track.
Juice can alter his delivery to fit the song and the message so well, like with how aggressive he is on “Thugnificense”, but then how smooth swaggy he is on “Regular And Complex”. These dudes spit with such exciting rhythms that could hype you up on your worse day. Meech and Juice tag team on the drops in the beat with effortless teamwork. LiveFromHell literally sounds like the soundtrack to vicious rush of an army of demons escaping the gates of hell in a sick “rock-n-roll” type of fashion. Other conceptual excellence is represented in songs like “Bliss” which seems like a rhetorically and boastfully invective and “ignant” song, but is in fact a philosophical look at society and how they react to the issues plaguing it.Īs far as their rapping skill, it’s nothing for the Zombies. This sort of awareness is a nice change for the group and shows them progressing as artists. On top of that, the Zombies seem more like these ruthless hippies from hell instead of these dark druggy guys, however there is a bit of ambiguity to their personalities, like their honoring of fellow BeastCoast member, Capital Steez. In this one, the group is a bit more socially aware, evident from the get-go with “Amerikkan Pie” and throughout the tape with “Palm Trees” and peeks in other tracks. That project had a real semi-gothic, druggy, spatial vibe to it. Literally almost every single track was about narcotics, particularly weed. This tape is a great continuation of their superiority.ĭ.R.U.G.S. “Mini Van Dan” “Just Blowing in the Wind”) and releasing great singles like “MRAZ” and “The Hangover”. Slaughtering all of their feature verses (i.e.
and their feature on Bath Salts, the Zombies have been wreaking havoc all over the rap game. Additionally, they both have incredible delivery, and Erick also is pretty skilled in rapping, being more lyrical and introspective than technical.
Additionally you have L.S.Darko and Zombie Juice, who are both mostly technical spitters but Juice is a bit more capricious and dynamic while Meech (another name for Darko) is really aggressive and conceptual. The architect crafted nearly every beat on this project, and their last (D.R.U.G.S.), and none of them fall short of awesome. Erick is massively talented and his productions should be incredibly coveted. I figure this is because of their skillsets. Read the Flatbush Zombies – BetterOffDead Reviewįlatbush Zombies is one of the few truly effective rap groups out of recent time. Like you rarely hear someone go ham with their cadences like this. LS/Meechy Darko of the Flatbush Zombies does so with his usual raspy delivery and brain-boggling flow. Always fun to listen to dudes kick rhymes over some jazz.Įvery rapper has to address his haters and fake friends. I suppose him and Sophisticated are building an alliance, but you never know. Inko follows up his Supreme Being joint with this collab with another young rapper. MENT is really advancing at his singing ability since I first heard him back in ’12. Not rap per se, but still great to listen to. MENT Nelson of the almighty OXYxMORON crew croons some soulful tunes that he didn’t wanna show us at first. This song is an interesting story with a lil twist at the end that you’ll catch if you’re familiar with Ace’s work. “TwoThousand40”, we bout 26 years from there now. Let’s wrap up 2013 with some cool tracks.ĭa Legendary Masta Ace has this new track with the Kid Tsu.
