Ghetto Pop Life

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
When DJ Danger Mouse (DM) blew up with his Jay-Z-meets-the-Beatles underground project, The Grey Album, the furor around DM's illegal mix all but overshadowed the release of this full-length album with rapper Jemini. On Ghetto Pop Life you won't find the Fab Four rubbing sonic shoulders with Hova, but you will find DM's excellent production skills at play behind the adroitly flippant Jemini. The creative producer is willing to draw from everything from old '50s pop tunes to smoky funk, underscored by his intricate drum programming. Jem's presence is immediately felt--his distinct voice, acrobatic verbal skills, and quick wit make for a memorable combination. The album is mostly filled with playful bravado on songs like "Omega Supreme" and "Take Care of Business" (the latter featuring irreverent rapper J-Zone). Even a song like "Don't Do Drugs" flips on the standard public service announcement and manages to dish out sage advice with a lolling tongue. --Oliver Wang

Best Hip-Hop CD!!.......2007-08-02

This is the best CD I have heard in along time...I'm so tired of all the hip hop they play on the radio..This is some real down to earth hip-hop!!!! It's really sweet!!!!!

This Is What's Up!!!.......2007-06-10

To all the heads out there that say "hip hop is dead" .... kick rocks! This is some hott sh****t that plays seemlessly from beginning to end. The beats are tight ala Danger Mouse and the rhymes by Jemini & guests make all that top 40 bull**** just that. Witty and political, retro and futuristic, light and dark, who could ask for more? Cop it today.

If you have not heard this album you are missing out.......2007-05-18

I know that Danger Mouse is a house hold name now that he ripped and re-did the Beetles, but Ghetto Pop Life was his first commercial album that nobody knew about but one of my friends in 2002 through digging, and it was done with a great Brooklyn MC named Jemini (who is still virtually unknown) but this album embodies hip hop - not rap as its know today, BETTER, and if you have any interest in Hip Hop or just good music then cop this album!!! I only knew the name of the album starting about 2 years ago after wondering why some of the best albums of our time are never known....it was only known after Danger got popular.

Incredibly Underrated.......2007-01-15

I stumbled across this album while searching for Danger Mouse stuff (was a big fan after The Grey Album and St. Elsewhere). But this might be his best work yet. Jemini's flow is simply intoxicating, and he carries a confidence that feels far from bragadocious, even though in truth it is. DM's production here is jaw-dropping in its creativity and in its listenability (something that I felt wasn't the case on Danger Doom). Easily one of my favorite discs in recent memory and a definite must-have.

DOPE CREATIVE MUSIC!!.......2006-06-30

I love this album for its beats. The MC wasnt my bag, but the music was definitely something I can play over and over. I want an instrumental of this stuff!! The MC holds the album back from getting a 5 star rating from me. I can't find any faults other than that. But that is just my taste preference. Just listen to the audio samples and judge for yourself!!

bathroom locks.......2005-03-02

sad to say, I was misled by all the 5 star reviews and bought this cd. I was expecting something extraordinary. this is not it. i am a true reggae believer and my ears are always wide open for something new. this aint it. its soft and boring. hate being negative about postivie music, but this album just doesn't add up.

a good album from jah cure.......2004-04-24

i like this album. it is different in the sense of jah cure being so young yet very talented. he is a rougher version of gregory issac. beres hammond's production touch on the album is nocticeable and welcome. some heavy rasta messages are here. j.cure also sings of love, inlight of the situation he currently faces. i definitely like: zion await, every song i sing, western region(brothers, stop killing each other!!!)., and vibes man a build.

...WAKE UP!!! FREE JAH CURE!!!.......2003-06-20

when i first heard , "Free Jah's Cure" i was totally blown away.
a modern rasta album in which every song is a real gem.
his voice reflects inspirations from Yami Bolo and Beres Hammond.
when i heard his latest release, "Ghetto Life," the first thing i noticed was the production...Lord have Mercy! the bass is so deep and the kick drum hits so freakin' hard!!! the song selection for this album is slightly different in style compared to the first one. i was already familiar with the track that includes Sizzla, but when i heard "Western Region," i thought
he might have run out of ideas due to the fact that i heard a reworking of a previous melody. after listening a few times, all the tracks really started to grow on me. i enjoy this one almost as much as his debut album...
his music is so beautiful, i have a hard time believing he is guilty.
Om namah Shivaya

Great Album.......2003-04-01

Jah Cure has done in again! This is indeed a great work of reggae vibe. You can tell that he had some assistance from two of the baddest reggae artist around (Sizzla and Beres Hammond) to make this album. This one is just as good as the first. Go get it!

WHAT CAN I SAY?.......2003-03-15

I've always likened Jah Cure to a singing version of reggae great Sizzla Kalonji. They both just seem to be on the same level of consciousness lyrically and the way they seem to be easily able to get their message across. Speaking of Sizzla, I find it very interesting that the first voice that you hear on this album is that of Sizzla, on the opener and possible best track Every Song I Sing, very very good on the lyrics. If Every Song i Sing is not the best tune here then certainly Hail to My King is, that is a song that everyone, every religion from Rastafarian to Atheists can appreciate, really powerful. All 15 tracks, not a bad tune amongst them, also really love the combinations one with the aforementioned high priest Sizzla Kalonji on the older King of the Jungle, if you've never heard it, then you'll probably love it, and if you have heard then you'll relish in having it on cd (that is if you neglected to get Sizzla's Greatest Hits Album last year), with Jah Cure providing the amazing vocals and Sizzla stepping in with the very meaningful verses. Also really lie Zion Way, Zion Await, How Can and Trust Me and also Vibes Man a Build, and Hanging Slowly, and i could go on, every track is nearly perfect in its sound and of course, its lyrical point.
Jah Cure is an album artist, only having 2 albums so far i know that may sound weird, but i have never had the experience of seeing him perform, i can only imagine, but his voice is soooooooo powerful on this album and his first that I am convinced that he can do what he has done so far in his career which is releasing albums every 2-3 years, and that works. His first album was critically acclaimed as this one is destined to be, he sounds excellent on album, and his writing prowess ranks right up there with lyric king Sizzla, he is truly on that level. As he is currently serving a long term prison sentence, a young singer might be wise to hire him as a songwriter because i assure you it gets no better than this in lyrics. AMAZING! GO GET IT

Great Hip Hop album.......2007-05-29

No doubt about it. The album has earned it's cult status as a great hip hop album, both in terms of content and all around originality. Well that and the fact that it's been discontinued for many years. Which brings me to another thought. Would you sellers consider lowering the price for used copies of this album? $70.00 for a used (very good) copy of this album? That is completely outrageous. For that price, I'd like to purchase some blood along with the CD. Stop abusing the marketplace and keep it the same respectable and reasonable place to buy the music and films we all love. Long live the marketplace.

ESSENTIAL 90S HIP HOP!!!!.......2007-01-28

i was trying to find this gem at your ordinary everyday music store, and when i looked this up, it said that this was OUT OF PRINT!!!!! WHAT!!!! why is it that the best and least appreciated ones are always out of print? from beginning to end, this right here is one of the most enjoyable hip hop albums of the early 90s. when i think of this album, which i recently FINALLY found here, i think about BUG A BOO and destiny's child. i also love DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT WINGERS, SPEAK UPON IT, SHE SAID IT WAS GREAT, and of couse, I GOT TO HAVE IT!!!!! when i had to give up the cassette of this, i absolutely hated myself for it. now that i got it again, i will hold this close and dear like a faded memory come back to clarity.

OFF DA CHAIN!!!!!!.......2006-06-28

most rapper r known to be from new york or new jersey, but this cat here from boston, mass........this is an mc ppl have slept on! this album was one of the tightest i had heard in 1991, i was still in high school at the time. too bad he didn't get the airplay nor the props he deserved. i bought the tape when he first came out, years later, i bought the cd and i still listen to it to this day. my personal fav on this album besides "i gotta have it", is "gotta have money", he's speaking of nothing but the stone truth on that track! i believe if he made a comeback with his rappin skills and had somebody like swiss beats, kanye west and or the neptunes putting their hands on the album.....it'll definitely go platinum!

It's different, so don't compare it to another..........2006-05-12

Get it? Good. Now ignore any criticisms of this album that say its too "nice", or "soft" or "cheesy"...because that's just the ignorant view. "Life of a kid in the ghetto" is one of the best albums to come out of 1991,along w/Main Source's - Breaking Atoms, with Ed O.G.'s inspiring councious lyrics and Teddy Tedd,Special K & Joe Mansfield's fresh beats this album is undoubtedly is one of the most slept on hiphop albums yet. Ed O.G. Touches upon so many important issues here, that are told like it is. "Be a father to your child" is my favourite track on the album, speakin upon the issue of father's leaving their children to be cared for by the mother, and not carrying out their responsibilites as man. This is one of the most hard-hitting and down to earth tracks ever, regardless of genre. Then, you have "speak upon it" where Ed decides to talk about the injustices of being a black man, and uses examples like Charles Stewart to emphasise how biased the court system can be. Tracks like "I'm different" talks about why they are different to other groups, and what makes them. Similary "I got to have it", which samples Big Daddy Kane's "Aint no half steppin" is a timeless classic, with its unforgettable funky beat & flawless flow. This album is too slept on, and needs to be checked out by mainly people who are a fan of hiphop back when it meant something, and was used as a way for opinionated black men to express their views. Do not sleep. (By the way Edo G is still doin his thing 13 years later with pete rock on "My own worst enemy"...check it out) PEACE

Album Description

You might still hear Yiddish songs today, in concert or at social gatherings of Yiddish speakers. But their natural venue was the village or shtetl of Eastern Europe or America where you could hear them through open windows in courtyards, or from busy people humming their way from place to place. They were born and flourished in a world that is no more. They represent the joys and sorrows, dreams and aspirations of ordinary folk, the Jewish mother's dreams for her child, the poverty of the rebbe, the Jewish teacher, the freshness of young love and revolution, the joy of Jewish holidays which provided a welcome respite from the drudgery and hardships of daily life for Eastern European Jewery. Yiddish song reflects the richness of Jewish folklore, as old, vast and varied as the numerous regions which the thousand-year-old language and culture inhabited. It reached its greatest artistic expression in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. There are songs of work, love and lullabies; songs about great Jewish heroes and parodies about the same, songs about Hassidic rabbis, pogroms, the Messiah, the longing for redemption and the return to Zion, and of revolution. Political parodies abounded in the 20th century as did Yiddish theater songs in various genres: operetta, art song and Vaudeville. There were writers, poets and musicians throughout the ages who created this treasure trove, much of it still waiting to be culled. The Yiddish street singer was a common sight in the cities and towns of Eastern Europe, well into the 20th century. The broder zinger from Galicia heralded in an age of Yiddish folksong creativity that reached every continent on which Jews lived in the 19th and 20th centuries. The poet Itzik Manger and, of course, Mordechai Gibertig, the most famous and popular of the Yiddish folk-poets, were heirs of that tradition. Gibertig "S'Brent," a vision of burning cities and a call to arms, written in 1938, proved to be all too prophetic. During World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews were confined in ghettos across German occupied Eastern Europe. In the ghettos and even concentration camps, members of the terrorized Jewish population engaged in remarkable, organized acts of defiance. Determined to leave a record of their history for posterity, they secretly created archives, diaries, drawings, photographs and songs to document Nazi crimes against their communities. During the same period many European Jews defied their Nazi oppressors by actively taking part in an underground war of resistance. This partisan warfare, carried out by clandestine, irregular forces operating inside enemy territory, was particularly widespread in the dense forests and nearly impassable marshlands of Eastern Europe. In 1942, the Supreme Partisan Headquarters in the Soviet Union extended its authority over the majority of partisan units in Eastern Europe and young Jewish fighters who escaped the ghettos joined the Russian partisans. Jewish partisan units were established in 1943, and the Yiddish language was now used for military communication, as well as for cultural and folkloric expression, such as poetry and song. This is a delightful album, full of energy and wit. The singing is magnificent and infectious. The CD booklet contains full texts of each song in English.

A must buy.......2005-06-09

We love this album! The songs are soothing but not saccharine, invigorating but not forced. Our four year old loves to dance to it and I can't get the songs out of my head so it ranks ten/ten on our scale.

When the Rabbi danced.......2005-06-04

This wonderfully performed collection of familiar songs from the once vibrant Yiddish culture of Eastern Europe is a great addition to my music library. While many of the songs are classics which I remember well from my childhood, the sweetness and elegance of the presentation by Counterpoint add significantly to their impact. Even though most of the European Jewish community was destroyed in the holocaust, these wonderful melodies survived to inspire us today, and to remind us that all was not lost. The arrangements, harmonies and solos are marvelous, and the Yiddish and Hebrew pronunciation are flawless.
It's obvious that a lot of work by some very talented people went into creating this album. Listening to it brings back many bittersweet memories that stir my emotions - It is my sincere hope that Counterpoint will continue to perform such music in the years to come.

You must own this CD!.......2005-02-22

What makes this collection of melodies unique is the marriage of traditional tunes with the less frequently heard songs of resistance and longing from the dark time of the Holocaust.
The beautifully arranged and performed vocals are, by turns, haunting and spirited, mournful and whimsical, taking the listener through the full range of emotions. To hear Counterpoint in concert is an unforgettable experience. This equally stirring CD will leave you feeling just as proud and uplifted, as expressed by the closing words of the final song (Zog Nit Keynmol)..."We are here!"

A superb collection of songs!.......2005-01-03

This collection of Hebrew and Yiddish songs, arranged by Counterpoint conductor Robert de Cormier and Viktor Ullmann, offers a unique view into Jewish life of the shtetl to the Nazi-used Czech town of Terezin and the underground Jewish resistance of WWII. From the "young widowed mother sitting by the cradle" in "Rozhinkes Mit Mandlen" ("Raisins and Almonds"), to the uplifting "Zog nit Keynmol" ("Never say that you are on the Last Road"), the 25 songs on the CD are superbly performed by Counterpoint. Skillful instrumentals accompany a first-rate choral group, and the stylistic arrangements retain the flavor of the genre. "When the rabbi danced" deserves a place in any collection.

This CD is a must-have!.......2004-12-27

I don't speak Yiddish. I am not a child - or relative - of Holocaust survivors. But this CD resonates for me in a unique way. I keep it in my car CD player and play it over and over. The evocative cumulative effect of the quality of Counterpoint's voices, the arrangements and the obvious poignancy and humor of the lyrics is hypnotic. I've given the CD as gifts to friends- to both Jews and non-Jews -and have not only received enthusiastic thanks and praise for the CD, but requests for information on how to buy more for their friends and family!
