Enjoyed this more than most early hip-hop. Maybe it's because of the rock aspects. I wish I enjoyed this sort of thing more, but it gets really repetitive. The focus is on the lyrics/vocals, and that is just not my focus in music. 3.25/5
Pretty damn primitive by today’s standards for hip-hop- in some ways, it’s really closer to rock than rap, and I don’t even mean just “Walk This Way”- but it also feels like a refinement of the first wave of rap. Like a peak of the classic style, a sign that it was time to let the music grow. Full of bangers that I think would still get people hyped today, even if it’s firmly a product of its time. A-
