Synopsis

Product Description

Jedi Mind Tricks have defined their own niche sub-genre in independent hip-hop. Having collaborated with the best and brightest of the indie hip-hop world, including GZA (of Wu-Tang), Sean Price, Killah Priest, Kool G Rap, Canibus, ILL Bill (of Non-Phixion and La Coka Nostra), Mr. Lif, Esoteric & many more, Jedi Mind Tricks have not only solidified their star-status in the indie-world, but have also helped to launch the careers of innumerable affiliated artists. Now, for the first time since 2003, their highly anticipated (and formerly out of print) EP, Animal Rap, is again available. The stunning Cuban-jazz and string inflected production of Stoupe The Enemy of Mankind, paired with the aggressive flow of Vinnie Paz and the consummate storytelling of Kool G Rap combine to make this release a must-have classic hip-hop collectible.

CD Reviews

Can't wait for new album!

02/05/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a big JMT fan since "Violent By Design" dropped in 2000, and i even consider it an underground classic. So fast forward 3 years later and the duo of Stoupe and Vinnie Paz are ready to drop the long awaited follow-up LP "Visions Of Ghandi", despite Jus Allah (unofficial third member) leaving the group last year. But for now we're treated to the highly anticipated first single, "Animal Rap" which features a guest spot from the legendary Kool G. Rap! And with 2 seperate Stoupe mixes (one which won't be on the album) you know it's gonna be hot. Anyway first up is the "Arturo Gatti Mix" (original version), where G. Rap and Vinnie Paz drop vicious verses over a deadly orchestral beat by Stoupe, complete with Mike Tyson samples between verses. Nice track, but the remix ("Micky Ward Mix") is even tighter...both verses remain the same, but Stoupe shows why he's easily one of the best producers right now (on a side note check out the recent tracks he did for Canibus - "Liberal Arts" and 7L & Esoteric - "Terrorist's Cell"). He adds a more mellow but even doper beat, and an incredible vocal sample for the hook...the single should be copped on this track alone, and it's the mix that won't be on the new album! There's also both instrumentals and a 10 minute Vinnie Paz interview, another reason why you should get this. Now let's hope "Visions Of Ghandi" drops soon and is as good or better than "Violent By Design"."
