I just got this CD before I went on a road trip in Sept. But this CD shows how timeless GRITS is, that a CD released almost a decade ago still can feel hip and fresh. '07, and I must say I'm enjoying every minute of it. Well, almost every minute. If you are getting bitten by the GRITS bug, be sure to add this CD to your collection (in my mind, even better than "The Art of Translation"). You're not going to be dissappointed.
I've read a few of the reviews already, and some of them I cannot aggree with. Grits is a very talented Christian Rap Group, whom I have been a fan of for some time. With songs such as They All Fall Down and Supreme Being, Grammatical Revolution brings a strong message with great beats and lyrics. And a word to those who say they are lame, not talented, or not rap, I have one thing to say to them: Let's see you do better.I give Grits five stars
Dre serve up, check out Gospel Gangstaz instead. If you're into innovative rap and want something else besides a few guys sitting in their bedroom with a drum machine, then don't buy this album. If you're like me and are into tight beats and wicked hooks like the kind Warren G and Dr. These guys are wannabees with sloppy ryhmes. OGG's is tight.
The message may be good, but the delivery is weak. Their style is sloppy. PID's original album Here We Are (a-la RUN DMC), and 2). Still, people like it because it is "Christian". Beyond that, I'll take Warren G. DC Talk was perhaps the greatest travesty ever perpetrated on rap. How come every Christian rapper thinks they can roll out their drum machine, write a few lyrics that are stale, and fire up their Rolad DX-7 and call that rap. In my opinion, there were two great albums in Christian rap history: 1).
Shame on them for even calling their music rap (not to mention their marketing-based rock/grunge crossover act). These guys are no exception. Gospel Gangstaz, Gang Affiliated. any day over this garbage.
Every album they release is more mature and innovative than its predecessor. I for one am disappointed with 'Here We Go.' This single is not nearly as innovative as 'I'mma Showem' and does not have the depth or quality of 'They All Fall Down.' Instead, it is indicative of GRits last release, 'Journey Through My Mind,' where the arrangement is catchy while the lyrics are just average. I expect nothing less with the new album, 'The Art of Translation'. Besides, the song is just way too short. That being said, I am a huge fan of GRitS. In fact, these guys are good enough to compete with any hip-hop group in the secular market today. The lack of airplay on radio stations probably means that Gotee is not doing a good job of marketing them.
