“Coroner Music”
~Guilty Simpson - Coroner Music
Fuck yeah, Guilty Simpson is back and he’s still as awesome as ever. He’s been fucking great since “Jungle Love” off of J Dilla’s ‘The Shining.’ Yes, he was previously on Jaylib’s ‘Strapped’ and J Dilla’s ‘Baby.’ But, he was so fucking raw on ‘Jungle Love’ it was ridiculous. Not, to mention rapping over the best damn beat on 'The Shining’ this guy was fucking gold to start.
How can one describe Guilty. Easy, he’s as smooth and deep as Barry White but he raps about guns, drugs, murder, and sex. Now that sounds like it wouldn’t work. But, it fucking does and it’s brilliant. He rhymes like he just came off a drug deal that went bad and saw 12 people get hacked up with a chainsaw but since he’s such badass he talks about it like he was at his cousin’s birthday party.
This album’s has to be the spiritual successor to ‘Madvillian’ it has to be. It’s the same style, giving equal time to both Madlib (the producer) and Guilty. And Madlib is in top form. Mixing his style of chopped up beats and Richard Pryor comedy routines with Guilt’s rhymes about drug kingpins and sending people to their grave. It works so well and it’s such an improvement from Guilty’s last album. Guilty sounds as focused as he’s ever been, rarely misstepping, and doing he’s best rhyming over songs like ‘Coroner Music’ and ‘Trendsetters.’
This is the album Guilty was supposed to make and, to be honest it, revitalizes my faith in one of the hardest rappers out now.
