Admin Hero1 Posted March 19, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE, CODE RED, (Jive) THESE rappers show flair, hot riffs and annoying inconsistency. What might have been a substantial and comparatively mellow album is marred by a sort of musical landfill to bulk out the good songs. Why this striving for quantity rather than a solid, but abbreviated CD? Who knows, but such questions don't seem to preoccupy Jazzy and Fresh, as the single, `Boom! Shake the Room!', illustrates. A vacuous ditty, it has some charm with an interesting bassline, but it's hardly one for philosophers. But Jazzy and Fresh reveal true splendor with fabulous vocals reminiscent of the Disposable Heroes on `Can't Wait to Be with You', a rich soul number with nifty guitar, and `Just Kickin' It', a moodier, but just as worthy, work. Things are not so well-crafted on `Twinkle Twinkle (I'm Not a Star)', a dreary and very irritating mutation of all the other mutations of the playfully innocent work by Mozart. from an ozzie paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 A very weird worded review. Who the hell says "vacuous ditty"? Its a Rap album, use some real english lol I guess the context of that could be taken positively, possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 yeah it was quite difficult to understand half of it, im guessing it was bad, i picked out words like dreary lol. if it wasnt from so long ago, i would complain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ha ha...yeah. I thought it waz weird cuz they'd say something postive then something negative. Interesting none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash trey Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 That was pretty ridiculous...not just because I'm a fan...but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Code Red was a very complete album! And the track he critisized most "Twinke Twinkle" was near perfection...and to further prove that this guy doesn't know what he is talking about he refers to JJFP as "these rappers" when if you listen to the music with as least a little attention you will most probably realize that Jeff doesn't rap.

ash trey Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 3 out of 4 is pretty good. Well numerically speaking, of course. But it does sure makes some ridiculous points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Twinkle, Twinkle.. I'm sorry, I never understood what ya'll like about that track so much. Sure, the message is cute.. But the song as a whole comes over as a song for lil children, about 7 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Listen 2 the beat. The beat alone is flawless, but then u have FP droppin' lyrics that go against what every other rapper says. Instead of bragging about being all that, he's saying he's down 2 earth, reguardless of the success in music, TV, and movies. The concept and lyrics are great. And his flow is straight and 2 the point. Then u got Jazzy on the catchy hook. For someone who loves a rapper who likes 2 poorly sing on half of his songs, i can't see why u would think this song is "cute" and for "children."

Definitely the same reasons why I think that song is great and still sounds fresh to this day.
