KRS-One & Buckshot, 'Survival Skills' (Duck Down)
Famed New York MCs stay ruggedly relevant.

Bronx iconoclast KRS-One and Brooklyn hard case Buckshot hold a hip-hop revival meeting on their debut duo album, inviting Mary J. Blige, Talib Kweli, and K'naan to help protect the world from Auto-Tunin' "Robots." The beats by producers Black Milk, 9th Wonder, and Havoc are strictly no-frills, but just hot enough to keep these cranky yet lovable old MCs' joints from stiffening up. Thankfully, their oratorical skills remain undiminished. As KRS puts it on "Connection," "When you get older, you get better / I'ma take this to the grave / Ever stop? Never!"

you suck survival skill is a 5 star album no less (starving for hip hop)
This is a FIVE STAR ALBUM
3 stars?
Should be 4 stars at least. Probably not a 5 star as a song/hook lets it down, but the rest is very meaty and good for music this side of 2000
Got something to say?
