Easy Mo Bee- Now Or Never: Odyssey 2000

New York hip-hop owes a lot of thanks to the legendary producer Easy Mo Bee, and this album is no exception to that rule. Having worked with everyone from Miles Davis to Tupac, Mo Bee is a certified vet in this business and has always had great foresight when creating for the artist. This Album is a must have for any real east coast hip-hop conouissour and basically anyone that enjoys Mo Bee's multi layered, rusty sample laden, boom bap masterpieces. Few cats in the game (with the exception of maybe Premier and Rza) have a more distinguishable sound, and Mo Bee's honestly, has always been the most well thought out and determined....A DJ that grew into production, Easy mo Bee's life has basicly mirrored the plight of Hip-Hop itself....starting out bagging groceries for peanuts so he could afford his first piece of equipment, Easy Mo Bee came up the rough and rugged ol' school way. Working his way to the top, only after experiencing heartbreak and failure time and again. Odyssey 2000 provides many loyal Mo Bee fans with some pleasant surprises, and a view into a life that exudes the music he loves. A few times on the record we find Mo Bee rapping, a la Pete Rock. It's not really that bad at all and he holds his own despite a clumsy delivery. Odyssey 2000 also provides a few comical moments, due to a handful of skits that are guaranteed to make you snicker. All in all this album delivers on many levels, any true head needs to pick this up, if not for the musical value, than at least for the fact that most record stores only have this on vinyl. With appearances from Kool G Rap, Rah Digga, Snoop, Cee Lo, Flipmode Squad, Prodigy, American Cream Team, Da Ranjahz, Goodie Mob, Kurupt and Da Cocoa Brovaz and Da Nation, many of the verses on this album go overlooked, but remain solid as well.
