Original Lab review:
I ll be honest: I m a huge De La Soul fan. These guys are the main reason I fell in love with hip-hop. But the two Art Official Intelligence albums just didn t do it for me; they felt too calculated, lacking the spontaneity of their previous LPs, not to mention laden with some questionable production. With The Grind Date, I regret ever doubting them. As their seventh studio album, this is also their most consistent and satisfying effort in recent years. Give ample credit off the bat to their production team which includes themselves along with Supa Dave West, J Dilla, Madlib, 9th Wonder and Jake One – there s nary a flat track on here. From the ridiculous, tempo-shifting sickness of Rock Co.Kane to the pumped up funk slaps of Verbal Claps, and the uplifting energy of Church, De La leaps into The Grind Date with a renewed vigor. There s just a tad too much give us our props, we re pioneers! on songs like The Future, but hell, few have earned the right as much as these three. Neither cloyingly commercial nor stubbornly underground, De La moves with a forward vision and leave the preachiness of past efforts out of it. Instead, songs like Church, The Grind Date, and It s Like That reflect the crew s mature perspectives on life and struggles. But just in case heads need to be thrown, they ll still hit with straight missiles on Days of Our Lives (feat. Common), and No. Other guests include MF DOOM on Rock Co.Kane, and Ghostface for He Comes, but this is still the De La Show, front and center. Includes bonus instrumentals, recommended.
