About three songs in, after the baleful Return of the G flips into the rousing Rosa Parks you realize Aquemini is the best rap record in years, a late-decade answer to Tribe Called Quest's Low End Theory that's as rich, raw, musical and unpretentiously visionary as anything from NYC.

I'm not sure if I'd call them breakbeats, but this madhouse, fast moving, compilation of hard funk and as the sleeve says '70's funky rock', sits on the leading edge of the more controlled disco beats. At times there's a real Beastie Boy thing... Click to Continue...
