Soul '69 (Aretha Franklin, 1969)

Haha, soul in the late 60s is a lot different than in the early 70s.  I dunno, every song's the same and not that good.

Choice cuts: The Tracks of My Tears, So Long, Elusive Butterfly






Big Hitt Rising (Hittman, 2008)

It's a shame this short project is all we've gotten from him since Hittmanic Verses, but it's not bad at all.  His perspective is more mature and way darker than his earlier work but that flow/lyric combination is still out of this world.  What he's lost in rawness and energy he makes up for with that fresh take on his old subject matter.  Heavens Hell is one of his best tracks.

Choice cuts: Scope, Who Got That (Ack 2), Heavens Hell (Righteous Path)
