![]() Ross Fuller has a clear appreciation of our chosen genre, but that doesn't mean that the guy should ever rap again. Ross fills in the empty space with bars that prove that he may have actually had talent behind the mic, albeit not without the Wu affiliation, which would have still been a necessary requirement for anyone to give a damn about him.įINAL THOUGHTS: Remedy's The Genuine Article is a technically competent hip hop album, but that isn't a compliment: this was annoying as hell to actually listen to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although you two shouldn't get so excited about the guest list (Prince Rakeem, who isn't properly credited, only introduces the track, in full-on Bobby Digital mode at that), “Reuven Ben Menachum”, named after Remedy's original rap moniker (which he apparently shared with the co-founder and chief executive officer of Fundtech, a leader in global transaction banking, which made this a really fucking weird Google search), was still strangely enjoyable, and I say “strangely” because, even though this uses the exact same formula as “Words To Live By” (three verses, no guests, simplistic instrumental), it isn't nearly as exhausting, thanks to Remedy's beat, which sounds like something The RZA would either have crafted himself or would have stolen from True Master in exchange for a dime bag and a fried Twinkie. ![]()
