专辑介绍

PeteStrumentals follows Jay Dee's Welcome 2 Detroit as the second offering in BBE's producer spotlight &Beat Generation& series. If you approach Pete Rock's joint as a song-oriented pop album, you may feel disappointed. Only two tracks (&Cake& and &Nothin' Lesser - Jamie's Mix&) feature MCs and the repetitive, consistently mid-tempo beats get somewhat monotonous by the end of most tracks. If you approach the album as a radical work of sonic architecture, you may also feel disappointed, since Rock's relatively old-school sensibility isn't likely to make you hear music in a completely new way. But if you approach PeteStrumentals on its own terms -- as a laid-back collection of atmospheric beats ideal for late-night chilling or freestyling over -- then you may enjoy Pete Rock's soulful funk-jazz grooves, which are first rate for this type of recording. The deep bass and whispered &play back& vocal sample on &For the People,& jazzy piano loop on &Hip Hopcrisy,& big-band sax on &Smooth Sailing,& layered horns and vibes on &Pete's Jazz,& and strings on &Give It to Y'all& (as well as the scratching that starts about two minutes into the song) all fit together to form a first-rate instrumental joint. The MC tracks with Rock Marciano, Divine, Godfree, and Laku are located near the end of the album; this makes them seem almost like bonus tracks, or perhaps a late attempt to ensure that the listener hasn't nodded off, but they still fit fine in the overall flow of PeteStrumentals.
