Synopsis

Product Description

The Army Of The Pharaohs crew is the archetype for the hardcore indie MC collective. Spawned from the Philly scene that saw the genesis of Indie Hip-Hop's most fabled act, Jedi Mind Tricks, Army Of The Pharaohs is the fledgling brainchild that's taken on a life of it's own. Army Of The Pharaohs is the premier supergroup in indie hip-hop. With verses from Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Outerspace, Apathy, Doap Nixon, King Syze, Des Devious, Reef The Lost Cauze, 7L & Esoteric, Celph Titled, Demoz & many more, this collective continues to produce at the highest quality, never disappointing.

CD Reviews

Solid album, but not the Holy Grail of AOTP releases

James C. Janssen | portland, or | 04/13/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"My problem with the 2nd album was the lack of Apathy. Well, Apathy is back, but now Esoteric is missing (one of my favorite AOTP members). I just don't find Des Devious, Demoz, Doap Nixon, King Syze, etc. to really add much to AOTP. Sure they can deliver some great lyrics, but the other more talented emcees could do that better (Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Apathy, Esoteric, Reef, Planetary). This album still feels like it has a lot of "filler" emcees on the roster. Not saying that anybody is particularly bad, it's just that I'd rather hear more Apathy, Vinnie, Celph, etc. (like I mentioned above).

I thought the beats on the second album sounded a bit too "commercial" on a few songs, and this album seemingly ups the ante. There's some great beats on this album, but it seems like AOTP is slowly shifting towards a more mainstream sound (unintentionally). Don't get me wrong, this still oozes that underground vibe, but some of the newer artists coupled with some of the newer beats seem out of place when compared to the sound of the first AOTP album. Again, this is personal preference.

Still, a very solid album and worth a purchase.
