Here we have an album that is a musical version of a found poem. There is no original material here, only samples, and as far as I know, this is the only album on the List with that particular claim to fame.
I think this is a good thing, I'm never as interested in samples as original music, which is one of the many reasons I struggle with hip hop so much. The arrangements were interesting as a sort of collage of sound, but I didn't think they were particularly engaging samples.
Not offensive, but not very compelling either.
RATING: 2/5
