Okay, I gotta vent, y'all.This quote admittedly angers me on several levels.I'd slap my publicist for drawing up that gimmicky statement, it would suggest that I'm attempting to emulate the sound of a prevalent, popular sound, which to Nac One's credit is something that does not occur on this release.Fugees, Nas and fellow Bay representatives Ab Rude, Freestyle Fellowship and the omnipresent Living Legends crew, Natural Reaction is his virgin attempt at forging a dent in an underground rap scene that seems to be nearing saturation.In all earnesty, Nac One is a decent emcee.Nac One would have done better with delving into other dimensions, for he lacks the vocabulary, charisma, insistence and wit required to craft an interesting battle rap, let along an entire album oriented around battle rap.Instead, we find Nac One stumbling over syllables, punctuating his flow with awkward pauses and littering his album with unimaginative punchlines:
"Now these emcees wanna get personal
but don't know my history first of all
you're playing a game of pain that's irreversible
when I strike the mic, I'm not merciful...I'm pronouncin'
'cause now I hold it down there's no testin'"
If I were to name an emcee that Nac One reminds me of, I suppose I'd reply that I hear a little Kool Moe Dee, and a little Jeru Tha Damaja, although Nac One has neither the wit of KMD nor the depth of Jeru, what he does share with both of these emcees is their rather straightforward execution and lack of pretense."With my rhymes pumpin' in your cardiovascular, ambassador of vernacular, words smackin' ya, all spectacular per capita"
What on earth is that supposed to mean?Vocabulary is straight when you flex it properly, as opposed to merely throwing together a litany of words that rhyme in a vain attempt to sound sophisticated."Natural Reaction" sounds like a crash collision of the Alchemist and the RZA, "Goin' Through It" exudes an irrepressible, organic funk, punctuated by punchy staccato digital blips.P, the second a darker, sinister beat with insistent bass and raw harp.So what's to complain about?Nac One and guest Cam.The Gang Starr funk of "Hand Crafted" is marred by a stale hook (though to his credit Nac One delivers his best lyrical performance on this track):
"It's hand crafted, original classics, traditional rap hits, with lyrical tactics".What's even more disheartening are the record's misguided attempts at crafting anthemic dancefloor tracks.Funk (while lacking the dimensions and understated elegance of a Dre track), as Nac One's trite exclamations of "Put your hands in the air if you have no fear.."Summertime Joint" comes the closest to sounding definitively West Coast than any other track on the album, only it is once again stifled by a horrid hook: "I got the sun shinin', in my mind I'm feelin' fine, 'cause it's summertime, it's summertime".Once again, independent emcee disease part 380, utter inability to write a good hook.This is not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination.At the same time, there aren't enough redeeming qualities for me to justify a purchase.Hop strangely attempts to focus their energies towards.Music Vibes: 6 of 10
