5.0 out of 5 stars Good showcase for underground rappers, Mar 5 2002

This review is from: We Came From Beyond (Audio CD)

"We Came From Beyond" is a good compilation of hip hop acts that (except for the Beastie Boys) are not mainstream successes. (I'll warn you now: the Beastie Boy song is just a remix of "Pass the Mic" from "Check Your Head"). Freestyle Fellowship, Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious and Jurassic 5 are some of the established luminaries in the underground scene and they each contribute a good song to the CD ... "Unified Rebelution" by J5 in particular is a great slippery track -- the best on the album in my opinion. The CD is also great for helping to expose new acts (or ones I'm not familiar with, at least). Eyedea, Pep Love, Mighty Casey, Count Bass D, Atmosphere, AWOL-One, Fat-Hed, and Motion Man all have tracks with a distinctive sound ... it's great to be exposed to so much new talent. The highlights among the new artists are Pep Love's forbidding "Relief" and Mighty Casey's loopy "Liquorland", but they're all worth hearing. The album finishes with a 17-minute tribute to Rob One, and it's a credit to the production that the track uses the same loops throughout and doesn't get annoying or boring. I bought the CD because I like Blackalicious and Jurassic 5 but I'm happy with the whole disc. If you're at all interested in new sounds in underground hip hop, then get it!

This review is from: We Came From Beyond (Audio CD)

maybe, just maybe its not too late for you... buy this cd, get it home, lock your door, rub the cd all over your body, put it on, listen up... soak up some cool...and maybe, (no promises), just maybe, it'll get rid of all that WACK in you!!!
MOTION MAN is ridiculously ill (crushes most current MCs).
MIGHTY CASEY is just too fresh (what more can i say).J-FIVE,DILATED,AWOL ONE,BLACKALICIOUS,FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP..
who could ask for more?
now take off that thong already.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Came From Beyond compilation is DOPE !, Nov 7 2001

William J (Indianapolis, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: We Came From Beyond (Audio CD)

I just picked up the "We Came From Beyond" compilation.
I really like it.
The new (underground) artists are GREAT!
There are some big names on this album; J5, Beastie Boys, etc. However I bought this CD for the underground acts it features.
I like new stuff.
Pep Love,Motion Man,FatHed,& Mighty Casey are the best lyricists on this CD. (all of whom i had never heard of before this record)
I rate this compilation a 9 (on a scale from 1 to 10)
I would like to see more subculture music for sale on Amazon.
