JOELL ORTIZ-”Covers the Classics”
Posted on May 15th, 2009 by ekko
And so it arrives: The first really great mixtape of ’09. Joell Ortiz’s “The Brick” was one of the best rap debuts of this decade, but since then I haven’t been all that impressed with his work. Here, he redeems himself.
Joell hits classic beats by Naughty By Nature, Public Enemy, and kills LL Cool J’s “Goin’ Back to Cali.” He raps over “Rapper’s Delight,” “Mass Appeal,” and Eric B and Rakim’s “Know the Ledge.” All classic beats. I recommend you cop it and listen without reading the song titles, see if you can identify it all.
Even casual rap fans should get this and check it out.
