The "Magnum Force" sound jerk last works did not have much to do, so it will probably be one of the primary issues in which direction "DIRT" drifts. Producers list indicates a typical 2008-spec release: Illmind, Khrysis, Marco Polo, Evidence or M-Phazes - all ready for a banger, but also all caught up in the big drawer of more or less uniform sounds, in which the maintained underground scene has even stuck. And what a great miracle: on this album overtake us no groundbreaking surprises. This begins with the mediocre and known in advance entry tracks "Everything Is Heltah Skeltah" and "The Art Of Disrespekanization" and runs like a thread which is as red as Sean's Superman costume, by the first part of the album. Far worse, however, the fact that the two "Twinz" not show a full 100% appears. When Sean Price you miss the eagerly insanely good lines that made his solo albums as well as rock over most Instrumentals can not even get started fully. What happens if it then but a beat counter is showing "Since Beginning Of Da End" or the title track, which is through and through a further "Boot Camp Clik Yeah Song". After Illmind extremely disappointed with his second post in "Too Damn Tuff" (and Buckshot showing off to what sort beats he absolutely does not fit) may also Marco Polo's Beat are depreciated. In the second half then improve the situation: "WMD" is limited to bärenstark simple sound that recalls the first time to the old BCC Sound. The subsequent balance reserves, despite an appearance of improper newcomer Flood, the finger pointing at the listener and brings a successful exit.
Conclusion:
The career of Heltah Skeltah cover (I hope the present chaotic here Superheldenbildchen with fat lettering appears not only me some ... unfinished) goes hand in hand with the music. Because "DIRT" unfortunately is not the album to have been hoping the fans. Too bad beat choice, too little involvement with rock and jerk himself (no surprise that even in the presence of feature zweiterem) - three years after the "revival" of Duck Down evaporates the momentum. Moreover Heltah Skeltah have to compete on its own two albums from a golden age. However, contrary to all the criticism an album with a streaky first half and a strong second remains in the suppression of those self-defined yardstick - a solid album So, which one reclaims much more when it in the light of 2008, and not in that of "Nocturnal" and "Magnum Force" considered.
