Synopsis

Amazon.com
An outstanding compilation of Los Angeles-based hip-hop, Afro-soul, and funkdafied jazz, The Funky Precedent is more than just your run-of-the-mill underground comp. Its talent and diversity of sound captures the myriad styles of music that runs through L.A.'s Southland, from the rebellious riddims of Afro-Latin fusionists Ozomatli to the resurrected hardcore funk of Breakestra to the old-school/new-school hip-hop meld of Divine Styler. An album designed to appeal to more than just deep-underground heads, The Funky Precedent personifies L.A.'s past, present, and future. --Oliver Wang

Tight as can be

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hip hop fans unite. This is one of the best, if not the best hip hop compilation of the year. I am feeling this start to finish. The Ugly Duckling and Black Eyed Peas tracks are the standouts if there is such a thing. Breaking New Artist Alert: Miles Tackett has 3 contributions on this album and he proves himself with the true hip hop elite. He jams on a cello like I have never previously heard. If you are truly feeling hip hop this is a must buy."

"Hip-Hop compilations are plentiful, but rarely does one come along with just the right mix of Hip-Hop, Funk, and Jazz all blended into one. Not only does the Funky Precedent accomplish this mix, but it perfects the blend.Songs like Cut Chemist and Miles Tacket of the Breakestra - S.N.T [Live at Peacepipe] are upbeat jam sessions with funky bass and cello solos as well with Cut Chemist from Jurassic 5 adding skratches to compliment the whole sound.If you enjoy Jurassic 5 as well as James Brown, if you prefer DJ skratching and top-notch lyricism, or if you are a fan of Hip-Hop in general, this is a compilation that is not to be missed."
