专辑介绍

by Marisa Brown

The debut full-length from Masta Ace, and only one with the Juice Crew (with whom he rapped on &The Symphony&), Take a Look Around is as much a testament to Marley Marl and DJ Mister Cee's production as it as to the very able rhyming skills of the collegiate-looking Ace. Though the album never gave the MC the success that other Juice Crew members -- including Big Daddy Kane, to whom he is often compared -- had, it's still a great representation of what early hip-hop was and could be, both light-hearted (&Can't Stop the Bumrush,& &Me and the Biz,& which, contrary to popular belief, does not feature Mr. Markie, but instead an impersonation by Masta Ace) and socially aware (&The Other Side of Town,& &I Got Ta&), confident without being ridiculous (seen, for example, in &Letter to the Better,& which was also the B-side to his first single, &Together,& also included here). It's not groundbreaking stuff, but it's consistent and a lot of fun, high-quality rap that shows off the Brooklyn MC's easygoing flow and storytelling skills, a solid hour of music without any filler, and a definite must-have for any fans of old-school hip-hop.
