Western Carolinian February 2, 1995 Features ©ur §£@tes? James Qray starts digging Fiis ozun pCanet, and you might, too. James Gray Staff Reporter Several months ago I was watching MTV's Alternative Nation (which not so coincidentally rhymes with buzz clip saturation) and Kennedy, the oh-so-hip VJ, dryly introduced a video from an album I had been eagerly awaiting. "This is the new Digable Planets, you might remember them, they scored it big with their debut album Reachin' (a new refutation of time and space)" — and that was that. Shamefully "Blowout Comb," the Planets' second offering, has been treated like a bastard child by EMI records (i guess the Sex Pistols were right about them). There has been no promotion for one of the best conceived and executed rap albums to come down the pipe in quite some time. This album, including the "live" music, was written and produced with no outside help, a self-evident bonus. How else would you expect to get something this far from the monotonous "just anutha gangsta" hog- wash being churned out, in the tired West Coast style, by today's corporate music mill? I went to the store to buy this album right after Christmas. It was discounted, but labeled with a "SALE" instead of a "HOT" sticker. "Is this album good?" asked the sales clerk. "I sure haven't sold. many copies of it." When I heard that, I knew I had stumbled onto something bound to actually be hot. After listening the first song, this was definitely confirmed. The Planets started the album with an intellectual intensity that never let up, not for one line of lyrics or a single bar of music. The packaging is very keen. It adresses the black community, urging unity and a stop to infighting to overcome the holdups of society. The Digables have the charismatic gift of being strongly pro-black without being anti- white. Cover messages call for the freedom of militant "political prisoners" and announce the formation of Doodlebug's management and production company, Seven and a Crescent, which is bound to spawn some really great talent that we'll probably never hear about. The writer of the Seven and a Crescent announcement urges "Support for ALL people's revolutionary endeavors." Musically, "Blowout" cannot be touched by another 1994 rap release. Highlights include the interesting guitar work on "Black Ego," a seven-minute psychedelic jazz groove, courtesy of Huey Cox. Tracks four and five, "Dog It" and "Borough Check," show a Beatie Boys-ish affinity for old Waiting together with a warmth that only love for country music can provide, several people camped out for tickets to see Lorie Morgan and Clay Walker.

Track nine, "K.B.'s Alley(Mood Dudes Groove)," is a manic brass instrumental backed by a programmed beat and featuring David Lee Jones on tenor sax and Tim "T-Bone" Williams on trombone. Are any of these guys in other bands? Lyrically, this album packs quite a punch, too. The opening track, "Slowe's Comb," proclaims their zeal for enlightening their fans — they realize their potential to compel their listeners and accept it full on. Topics addressed include the need to educate yourself, the plight of the urban underclass, raising one's own social and political awareness and their home borough of Brooklyn where they say "you might get hurt if you come from out of town." In addition to a top-notch assemblage of studio musicians, eight of the thirteen songs feature up-and- coming singers and rappers. Most notably Suliaman: The Bronx Ripper, who not only adds vocals to the last song "For Corners" but lays down a scratch bit on the end of "Borough Check" Only by being self-produced, could they have included such promising young upstarts. This is arguably the best "total package" rap release to date. The cerebral vision of their acclaimed debut has increased tenfold with this latest release. What more could you ask for: thought-provoking lyrics, grooves galore, brilliant fusion of samples with "live" music, liner notes that make interesting reading and a perfect blending of jazz, blaxploitation era and early 80's funk, and rap with a twist of old school flavor. Plus, it is among the top 10 percent of rap releases. So that means, like all other rap created with a motive besides going triple platinum, you won't hear it ten times a day for six months.
