My Field Trip to Planet 9 By Justin Warfield

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Justin Warfield is the son of an African-American father and a Jewish-American mother in L.A., and he tries to combine progressive hip-hop with Beatlesque bohemia on his debut album. The crude boast that he's "a beatnik mack ready to attack" illustrates how little he understands bohemia, and the boring, static beats underneath exposes how little he understands rhythm. Warfield's fiasco is the clearest example possible that there's a lot more to integrating disparate musical elements than simply throwing them together. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Musical.......2006-08-01

This man has been inbetween and everywhere around the music industry. With his father a big timer in the music industry with making people like Sade famous, Justin Warfield is just pure amazing. He went through bands like One Inch Punch to Tape and now to an amazing alternative/new wave band called SHE WANTS REVENGE. He appeared randomly around and there. From the Romeo and Juliet movie soundtrack to being a guest MC with Placebo in "Spite and Malice". This guy has pure talent and you should all definately check out his new band called She Wants Revenge. Collaborating with Dj Adam 12 (whom is even as amazing as Justin and very sweet guy not to mention) My Field Trip to Plan 9 is a GREAT hip hop album.. upbeat and twisting ryhmes. For fans for A Tribe Called Quest/De La Soul/Eric B & Rakim/Public Enemy.. this is for you..

....Are why I come her to buy music and not find it. They shouldn't let people who are outside of a genre write reviews for them. This album was definately a contender in hip hop's "Golden Years".

Don't listen the the herb that wrote that review, this album is smooth, tightly produced and hella funky.

I have to agree that the Amazon reviewer missed the boat on this one -- this is considered a bit of a lost classic. I don't know if he was writing that review back in 1993, or more recently, but it exposes how little he understands Justin Warfield (or Prince Paul for that matter).

OK, so this isn't the best rap album I own, but it holds its own against "De La Soul Is Dead" and "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde". This was released during rap's early-90's golden era, and the production and smooth rhyming style reflect this.

All the name-checking of random countercultural references gets a little annoying, but on the whole this is pretty solid album. And why "Thoughts In The Buttermilk" didn't become a hit, I'll never know.

Oh yeah, and check out his new band She Wants Revenge. Apparently he's REALLY into Interpol lately.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best rap albums i own.......2005-02-15

Instantly, I took to the music. Acid trippy, but not Cypress Hill exactly. The production is AMAZING, and songs COOL LIKE THE BLUES and DRUGSTORE COWBOY will have repeat visits on your computer/cd player.

Groovy, but never hippie, cool but unpretentious, it's perfect chillout music with a funky verse flow.

I was not told at the time of ordering a CD from this seller that the version I was buying was edited for radio. Extremely misleading and definitely requesting a refund.
