Have Slum Village become the Destiny's Child of rap? They certainly are survivors. As VIP group members fall by the wayside with each new release--this time around Baatin's gone MIA, last time around it was Jay Dilla—-they keep putting out the hits. "Selfish" is classic SV, with the banging beat supplied by Kanye West and soulful hooks courtesy of John Legend. Certainly, the combination of T3's clever disjointed rhyme patterns, Elzhi's smart, punchy flows, and a stellar production formula makes one miss Dilla's beat brilliance a bit less (although he does appear on the closing "Reunion"). However, the duo falls short because they fail to craft rhymes beyond predictable SV subject matter. Doesn't "Hood Hoes" sound strangely familiar? Outside of "Old Girl/Shining Star"--a unique spin on the pros and pitfalls of womanhood--Detroit Deli is light on themes. Oddly enough, guest contributions from Ol' Dirty Bastard ("Dirty") and fellow Detroit legend MC Breed ("Do You") don't add much to the lyrical mix. It's an extremely enjoyable and highly listenable album, but it sure ain't looking to enlighten the world with its lyrical content. --Dalton Higgins

3 out of 5 stars Nice selection on this DELI's meny........2005-02-23

Its like hiphop's answer to blackstreet with these cats, the way they lose a member everytime they release an album. With the addition of ELZHI on the last album, at least lyrically, they're are better group. However musically there's something missing. Im not sure if it was the exit of super-producer J-DILLA cuz on "trinity" the music wasnt really an issue. This time they've come on a more mellow vibe that doesnt always come off. "Count the ways", "keep holding on" and "closer" are all borderline r+b and not that dirty soul funk you come to expect from the vill'. However there's enough here to bring it up+tantalise the tastebuds. Worth copping, not that bad. If J-DILLA does return then the next album will be pure heat!!!

3 out of 5 stars 3-1/2 stars -- Tastes pretty good, actually.......2005-02-07

You know how Kanye West spits "I switch my girls around like 3L-dub [3LW]" on "Selfish"? I'm not exactly sure you should be talking about switching people around when you're rapping with a group that has a different lineup on each album. Slum Village is now only down to T3 and Elzhi, but they still manage to put out some decent work on Detroit Deli: A Taste of Detroit.

I was a little skeptical when I discovered that the first song, "Zoom", is about cars, but that song actually works pretty well. Another good song that uses otherwise played-out subject matter is "Keep Holding On", a track about hard times. The aforementioned "Selfish" is also pretty decent.

Lyrically, Elzhi is still incredible on the mic. T3's rhyming has actually improved, too, even though you may still find a weak lyric here and there. And that still can't save them from a few missteps; particularly when guest stars come around. "Reunion" with J Dilla is great (although it's really only a reunion with T3 because Dilla and Elzhi were never in the group at the same time), but the Dirt McGirt-assisted "Dirty" suffers from a rather stupid chorus. And when usual crooner Dwele comes onto the scene with SV, they hit ("Closer") and miss ("Count the Ways").

I also think the chorus to "It's On" is overproduced, and as another reviewer mentioned, the "Late `80s Skit" is pretty pointless. Despite all this, SV still emerged with a pretty solid album, making you want to stop into this deli more often.

Anthony Rupert

P.S. In response to another reviewer, I don't recall a song on here called "Hood H**s". Maybe it was on an earlier release?

4 out of 5 stars not bad! worth the 63 cents i paid on allofmp3.......2005-01-13

enjoyable album that maintains interesting and real lyricism and the beats are not third rate! but they arent kanye west, either. nice album, worth it

5 out of 5 stars Typical SV...........2004-10-21

This is a very good album. It is typical Slum Village ( even w/ out J - Dilla covering ALL the production ). The album has great production, and skirt-chasing, playboy Slum Village lyrics. No need to point out any favs, the album in its entirety is overall good, and well thought out. Cop this !!
Peace

4 out of 5 stars Solid and funky, despite line-up changes.......2004-08-15

After their lukewarm sophomore record, I wasn't sure what to expect from this record (especially with yet another line-up shake-up). Turns out somebody's been working on their beats after school; this record JAMS. It's a funky car-party in a box, and the few guest appearances don't take away from the album's main characters.

It's a tight 13 track record, no fluff, and set to play you through the season.

        5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Family Traditions.......2005-03-13

        Under Ballaké Sissoke's fingers the kora's twenty one strings come alive with inimitable resonant sounds in a way that few can match. This unique harp-like instrument of the Mandigue people has its roots in the 15th century. It is best learned at a young age as it takes tremendous skill to master it and mature talent to create the complex compositions designed for it. Cascading sounds of the kora blending into gentle melodies are inviting the other three instruments to explore the tunes and rhythms. It reminds me of a jazz jam session. The harmony between the musicians is evident.

        The pieces, all arranged by Sissoko, show great variety in beat and mood. The accompaying musicians on "Déli" are well known soloists in their own right - two are also sons of famous musician fathers. They play the ngoni and the balafon. Both these instruments have an even longer tradition than the kora, being mentioned in the 12th century - the time of Soundiata Keïta, founder of the great Mandingue empire. Sissoko and his friends successfully bring the sounds of traditional Mali music into modern times.
        The majority of the pieces are instrumental: kora solo, kora and balafon or compositions for all four instruments. Three songs feature Sissoko`s wife Mama Draba. Less known internationally than Oumou Sangaré or Kandia Kouyaté, her strong voice resonates with traditional "griot" stories and beautifully complements the sounds of the instruments.

        Ballake Sissoko, distant cousin of Toumani Diabaté, and like him, a son of one of the great kora musicians of Mali, has distinguished himself as a virtuoso musician. Fans of kora music like "New Ancient Strings", which features the two masters of the younger generation, will want to add "Déli" to their collection. Highly recommended for newcomers to West African music too. [Friederike Knabe]

        I don't know much about African music - but this is definitely an album that everyone can enjoy.

        4 out of 5 stars A new take on old-fashioned griot music.......2002-01-01

        Fans of West African kora music may be familiar with "New Ancient Strings," the wonderful duet recording made by two Malian kora virtuosos in the late 1990s. One of the players on that session, Toumani Diabate, is certainly the most famous kora player alive today, and has made a slew of recordings in his own name and in collaboration with nearly every major Malian musician, as well as some Western ones (Taj Mahal and Bruce Cockburn to name just two).

        The other player, Ballake Sissoko, is much less well-known, but with "Deli" he demonstrates that he's Toumani's equal in many respects. His playing is just as magical, and on this disc he adds other colors to his musical palate. The kora, balafon (marimba), and ngoni (lute) make up the "big three" of traditional griot instruments, and on this disc they are joined by the bolon, another kind of Malian harp with a deep bass sound. All the musicians in Sissoko's small ensemble are amazing players, and the blend they achieve is marvelous. This recording may lack the lush reverberation that marked "New Ancient Strings"--it was recorded in a studio instead of a hall--but its crisp sound allows the other instruments to come into their own.

        Sissoko varies his arrangements so as to cover a range of different sounds. His wife Mama Draba contributes vocals on three of the 11 tracks; one track is solo kora, while another is a kora-balafon duet; the remaining six feature the instrumental quartet. It makes for more diverse and engaging listening than Toumani Diabate's "Djelika" (which featured his trio of kora/balafon/ngoni).

        "Deli" is a must for kora-lovers, and makes a great complement to "New Ancient Strings." It's ironic that instrumental recordings like those that we have previously heard from Diabate and Sissoko, and which are considered by many as the epitome of "traditional" West African music, aren't widely listened to in their home country. Malians generally prefer to hear singers, not kora, balafon or anything else, as the musical centerpiece. "Deli," with its mix of stylings both vocal and instrumental, might be an effort to gain a wider audience in Mali. I hope it succeeds in that respect.

          More streamlined than The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock or Crime Slunk Scene, Pepper's Ghost features the same crisp guitar sound and unmistakable "Buckethead-isms" that makes his music so unique. More structured and with catchier songs, this album is a masterpiece from start to finish and shouldn't disappoint.

          Don't waste your money on buying this one here, buy it through TDRS Music instead, should be easy to find through Google. And for $15 at that!

            Crime Slunk Scene is one of buckets latest, and I would have to soothsayer may be one of the most epic tunes written by the man. I mean the song just totally shreds! Then there is King James which is probably the second best on the cd and he rips it up greatly! You can get this cd at TDRS MUSIC Google that. The cd is only 15 bucks!!!! cant get a better deal.
