The Eyes Have It<\/em>, in which the dialogue plays like a vote (“everyone in favor say eye”).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe album starts with an intro skit called Green Trees, featuring Mr Greenthumb (who, from Cypress Hill?) and ends with the title track 20\/20, running through a few memorable tracks in between like Alarm Clock Music and Olde English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the production is solid and clean and most of the lyrics are auto-biographical, which seems like a competant decision for any hip hop lyricist these days. The album starts with Back Again which Vibe calls a backpackers anthem<\/em>, which effectively sets the tone of the album; nouveaux hip hop. I don’t know if anyone else uses that word, but to me it means middleground hip hop artists (underground artists on mostly independent labels, but getting some mainstream exposure). Most of the tracks struggle to be really memorable, but The Eyes Have It, Satellite Radio, and Rapid Transit (feat. Krondon) are all atmospheric, wordy, and exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDilated Peoples
