MC900 Ft Jesus' stuff is kind of hard to categorize. I've got the
first LP "Hell With The Lid Off", and it's not strictly speaking
a hip-hop record. Some of it strays into house/techno/new beat
sort of territory (if you use the 1990 definitions of those words.)

There's some real funky grooves on there, and the rapping/lyrics
are umm... unconventional. It certainly doesn't fit into the 
standard rap categories.

	The new Galliano is pretty good but, like the first LP, suffers
 from a lack of drive and direction and sags in several places. Some

Make that the *Fresh* 4 (I rechecked the label). Haven't seen anything new
by them but there is a new Smith and Mighty that is actually pretty
weak. They've gotten into a house beat plus sample mode that is really
boring (repeat every sample 4 times).

With the addition of "Prince Of Peace", I'd agree with that, having
listened
to the LP a few times more. Like the first LP, I guess - one to go back to
and play a few tracks from, but not the whole record.

I guess ICE-T better get out his tape off LETHAL WEAPON, so he can
retaliate against the Brotherhood of Dumb*sses....

Why make a stupid threat like that, what is that suppose to prove.
Obviously this brotherhood was sleeping when all these movies and other
T.V. shows came out SHOWING people how to kill police officers. They
must have been rolling over while NWA & BDP was steaming up the
underground music stores with there songs that make Cop Killer sound
like a nursery ryhme. And I guess, after all that sleeping they finally
woke up and made themselves look even more stupid by reacting in this
fashion. Think about it!! Someone is more likely to repeat(imitate) what
they SEE (LETHAL WEAPON,TERMINATOR,GODFATHER 1-3) than what they hear.

That threat is just like say:
   If the temperature goes up one more degree, I'm gonna F*** someone
   up!  
	   That feeble threat hold no weight and should make policemen
	   everywhere feel shameful.

Soul II Soul would be my favourite group that has been high on pop charts and I
have always been on the look out for similar sounds.

I have got all the albums mentioned so far, most of which do sound similar to
Soul II Soul but I am suprised that 'Innocence' has not yet been mentioned.
Their album 'Belief' from 1990 would have to be right up there with the best, 
and would have to be the closest I have heard to the Soul II Soul sound.

Other albums that have a Soul II Soul sound :
            - 'The Chimes' : The Chimes
            - 'Contribution' : Mica Paris
           

Question 1: was Innocence very big in Europe or the States. Down here hardly
            anyone has heard of them.

Question 2: Does anyone know if Mica Paris has any more albums coming out. On
            most of her 12"s she has new songs on the B-sides. On the B-side of
'South of the River' is song which is really hot. It's called 'Should've known
better' and is produced by Omar. I wouldn't mind getting this on cd.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cher.

P.S. To the dudes or dudettes dissing Soul II Soul, Get a Life !!

I asked a couple of days back if Mica Paris's 'I should've known better' was
on cd. Forget it.
I found it on a compilation called 'The Rebirth of Cool'.

This cd is goddam funki. It features :

Galliano - Welcome to the story (remix)
Dream Warriors + Gangstarr - I've lost my ignorance
Young Disciples - Step right on (vocal dub)
Outlaw - Kickin' Jazz
McKoy - Family
Mica Paris - I should've known better

All hard out Acid Jazz on a soul tip with hip-hop stirred in.  There are 14
tracks in all, the above listed being my favourites. This is unavailable here
in NZ but the bro got it from Aussie so it should be on local release everywhere
else.

The answer is, well... some of the time. But as well as the funky stuff
(Apparently Nothing, etc.) they also do downtempo stuff like "As We Come
To Be" 
and "Freedom Suite", which are just deep. Carlene Anderson, though she's

1. It seems like Ice-T and Time-Warner stand to make out good on this issue.
I say that is good and more will probably follow. That seems like the way to 
fight the system to me, beats riots, don't it? Does a purchase of Body Count
serve a good cause? Send a good message?

2. I wonder how much of this can be attributed to a fear that the culture of
the inner city may somehow spread or cross-over into the mainstream. After all,
why raise this issue now with a rapper who is crossing over into metal? Will
he insite the masses? What is there to be insited about? Insited to do what?

The answer is, well... some of the time. But as well as the funky stuff
(Apparently Nothing, etc.) they also do downtempo stuff like "As We Come
To Be" 
and "Freedom Suite", which are just deep. Carlene Anderson, though she's
left
the Young Disciples, is definitely a songwriting talent to look out for...
