Celph Titled & Buckwild - Nineteen Ninety Now (2010)
is the story of a common frustration, misunderstanding of the world today and two free electrons will cross to make the most of this fatalistic conclusion.

Behind the scenery marred by darkness and stench of radicalism lies a world where joy is shared between producers Insider by older brothers prepared to offer their expertise and meticulous mcs worked and improved the flow force of intense practice. Meanwhile in NYC, Buckwild with his SP-1200 (eternal faithful) is the little prince of the Bronx. After years of training under the wing of his master Lord Finesse, Buckwild stands on its own wings spreading his own dough into compliance with the values instilled by the Bomb Squad , Pete Rock and Large Pro , the arrival of Word ... Life and ov da Poor and Lifestylez Dangerous permeate the movement to life.

For all his dreams of adolescence seem to vanish, or is past the aura of the movement? Around him the report is morbid, Hip-Hop is dying, the duplicate current beatmaker old sounds with new beats, CD bins remain desperately empty while on blogs, new music fastfood, the user scrolls and download additional cartridge pulling on the branch of mc indies. Among the labels are trying to cut costs, why do yearn to refine a beat on a SP-12 8-bit 808 so that efficient but soulless beats will be produced in 10 minutes. "Everything gets faster, the project was out yesterday and not in 3 years." So why get into a solo that eventually will suffer from all its flaws ...
Meanwhile, Buckwild looks behind, the Treaty of has-beens and take away his throne is gently laughter, ridicule does not kill these days especially when self-proclaimed producer with its paltry Akai MPC. "Kid, you think you're superior because you leave a sample for a beat on Fruity Loops? I'll lay 60 on one beat, the difference? My MS-1200? Not old stew unions, talent. " And if Buckwild seems less present in the game, this is not a motivation but just a severe lack of talent outside of his crew DITC . which prevents it from being as active. A reason for the mcs are just carbon copies of their ancestors, only able to put words on an instrument without learning the basics of mceeing. Where did the desire to excel when everyone does the minimum, how to have a character with starving when the mailbox is filled with synthetic beats?
While their personal universe does not predispose to meet, a speck of dust in the machine name No Sleep Recordings played by James DL will enable them to fulfill their lack . What we call in the 90 turns into an album project today. Each with its frustrations will bring their stone to the building. 3 years of work, a new beauty beats against dust left behind by Buckwild work and thinking and writing for Celph Titled to ultimately give birth to 25 tracks (including interludes and a total 7 of 24 beats) appointed Nineteen Ninety Now : a childhood dream for Celph and a homecoming for Buck .
Gossips talk of a nostalgic product blinding objectivity of a base in constant expectation of old school supplies. If they want to ... In the meantime how many projects in recent years as the sweaty joy of work well done in its content? And then we are not talking about the earpiece but the two protagonists from which this small inconstant variable that transforms the soul and without synthetic living organism and sincere.
So what to expect when pressing the play button of the reader? A haunting musical atmosphere and amp darkness punctuated by jazzy and funky baselines well between a handful of Boom Bap and a pinch of soulful. Mic level, story with a beginning tellin and an end, the punchlines sometimes aggressive and often humorous all together guests from different eras but with a unique vision of what should be the Hip-Hop.
Funky and jazzy as The Deal Maker where the tornado Celph Titled forms leaving the listener into four pieces. Soul Sauce Bronx as Out Of Lunch where the sorcerer's apprentice can learn what a Master of Drums ( Jake One, I See You) and where Treach brought honor to his guest. Intensely raw and dark amplified by a battery as ubiquitous on Eraserheads for a 100% working with AOTP Vinnie Paz where both pros desoldering lyrical take their foot to decapitate anything that moves. All elements are embedded in a homogeneous smart As. If the cutting Buck does not vary the use of various samples and varied take an interest in each track.
Even the smooth vibe is highlighted with the simple but addictive Funkmaster Sex , golden opportunity for Celph to prove that his world is not limited to massacres in bazooka when given something to eat. And if that still seems irrelevant, it will be in bad faith to say the same on all four beats that make up Swashbuckling . A cut that allows Apathy, Ryu, Esoteric and Celph to grab a musical stage with their vibe. No compet 'when we take pleasure in releasing its verses, clearly the most impressive track of its shape this Nineteen Ninety Now . Lord Finesse should be proud to have initiated his pupil on the slopes of The Awakening because the funky tribute made by Buck on I Could Write A Rhyme is directly addressed. When the delivery Celph , it will fill in the blanks left by the introduction of this column (from Tampa to NYC).

After the leading Native Tongues is the turn of Big Shug to pass into the sampler on Tingin '. Air atmosphere and schizophrenic who again demonstrates that the work of Buck is worthy of a goldsmith in the matter and that few producers can claim to have capacity.
Butcher announced There Will Be Blood can count on using the standard bearer of DITC Diamond D, OC and AG, Sadat X and Grand Puba of Brand Nubian , if not simply the result may not be quite the enormous expectations of listeners, benefits downright lyrical give a smile (call your mama !!!).
soulful vibe, love of hip-hop, introspection and intimate discourse for Celph , Miss Those Days fills the last missing piece to the puzzle music issued by Buck . Need altitude and a breath of oxygen, Step Correctly and revives the fucking beat becomes more addictive than crack cocaine dose. Few tracks stand out by their greatest weakness compared to others, but which do not detract from their quality in this area Wack Juice one hand, would probably be cited due to instru provided too and I Are Where, on the other, who owes his loss of interest from its very painful hook.
