Jedi Mind Tricks - The Funeral & The Raven - Vinyl

Laced with Intricate Voice-samples and Top-notch Production, Jedi Mind Tricks Use a Different Kind of Force to Deliver a Record that Hip-hop Heads Can't Stop Themselves from Feeling. From the Gritty String-laden "Retaliation" to the Creepy Piano and Bass on "Contra," this One is Strictly for the Streets and the Underground Beneath. The Pianos and Guitar on Cuts Such as "i Against I" Provide a Mellow Contrast to the Record's Mainly Up-tempo Pace. But Throughout, the Stars of the Show Are the Vocal Samples, which have Origins in Everything from Vintage Television and Film to Professional Wrestling. The Theme is Total and Complete Lyrical Warfare. Every Rhyme is Filled with Exploding Similes and Metaphors that Are More Than Complemented by Beats that Will Never See Mainstream Radio. But the Message Isn't About Drugs and Thugs. Instead the Themes Are of Revolution, Survival, and Overcoming Obstacles in the Face of an Evil Society.
