Organized Konfusion

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Few artists have managed to have such an explosive impact with their debut album as Organized Konfusion. Showering listeners in a hailstorm of rapid rhymes, Prince Poetry and Pharoahe Monch showed that verbal styles could be both fast and deep. Funked-up party themes like "Fudge Pudge" and metaphoric monsters like "Releasing Hypnotical Gasses" were dense in their lyricism. But O.K. still had a sense of humor--shown on songs like "Who Stole My Last Piece of Chicken?"--as well as a meditative side, as on "Walk Into the Sun." The grooves were soulful, yet frantic at times, jumping from the midtempo cheer of "Audience Pleasers," to the hyperactive attack of "Releasing Hynotical Gasses." In fact, the only real flaw in their debut was an abundance of input--too many lyrics to decipher, too many beats to absorb. Maybe that's why they waited three years for the sequel--to give us time to take it all in. --Oliver Wang

Before Pharoahe Monch started playing party games, he was working with partner Prince Poetry to put together three of the best albums in hip-hop history. Stress: The Extinction Agenda is the best of this musical triple crown. Every song has an ace beat that mixes loose, jazzy samples and tightly coiled snares. And every song features two of hip-hop's all-time greatest MCs doing their best work, using their voices like instruments to create performances that are intellectually stimulating and rhythmically bangin'. Pharoahe's verse on "Bring It On" is raw enough to force even the hardest MCs to consider careers as accountants. One warning: Q-Tip's alleged guest appearance on "Let's Organize" consists of him repeating the words "Bounce, let's organize" over and over again with minor variations as the song fades. And it's still a great song. --Joe Schloss

Hip Hop For Adults and Prodigies.......2006-08-04

Stress: The Extinction Agenda is a mature album by two emcees that are highly under rated and under appreciated. While I can imagine that this album didnt recieve much commercial success, this says nothing about its genius and its emotive expiremintation with metaphores and anecdotes. Its an energetic album that flatters the listener by exposing them to smart lyrics and unconventional production.

After having listened to this album Pharoahe Monche has proven himself to be one of the best lyricist ever.

CLASSIC ALBUM.......2007-07-08

Classic cd. You must cop this but be warned the cd has audio problems. You can only hear it out of one speaker. I am not sure what is going on. I bought my copy at Virgin in Times Square.

DO NOT BUY THIS CD.......2007-02-28

This is an awesome album. Sadly, I have the same problem as others have reported, the audio plays out of only 1 channel. Completely atrocious that the label would press a bunch of faulty CDs and continue to sell them after people have reported problems.

BACK TO BASICS.......2006-11-05

I like this album but to me it's a little to "polictical" their skillz get covered up in the "message". IT'S ALRIGHT.

In one ear and right out the other........2006-06-06

Ya'll got wack repressings or boots; 'cause my og pressing is fine in both ears.

This LP was a great introduction to Organized, but the second joint was their masterpiece. If your reading this, you already know who this group is and who Pharoahe Monch is. Even in his chubby days, he had lyrics that I only wish I culd write. Hot spots on this CD would be "Hypnotical Gasses." Pure lyrical wizardy.

Not the duo's best work, but still amazing.

Prince Poetry and Pharoahe Monch = HIP-HOP GODS.......2006-05-24

I find "Organized Konfusion" (1991) to be one of the most rewarding listens to grace the hip-hop lexicon. Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch redefined lyricism with their relentlessly impenetrable styles. Whether it be odd time signatures, pitch fluctuations, or break-neck speed; these guys possessed all the skills to execute a brutal, but conscious gem that will live on forever. "Organized Konfusion" is arguably the first "underground" hip-hop album that was ever released due to it's cult status that has lived on since day one. At first, I wasn't sure if this was East Coast or West Coast rap. The brutal delivery and strong mic presence led me to believe that it was East Coast at first (which it is). On the other hand, they have such refined styles, and the ability to change pitch and tone in a piercing manner, even singing for a second or two at a time. They simply had flair and style that they pushed like West Coast emcees would. But no, this is seriously the best of both worlds. The album is superb from front to back, and well worth several full listens. In recent memory, I can't remember getting more excited while listening to an album than I have "Organized Konfusion". Hands down, in my top 5.

(I have not experienced any sound/balance problems with my CD that many of the other reviewers have. I bought mine from a marketplace seller and haven't had a problem.)

Organized Creativity Throughout It's Equinox (5 Stars).......2006-06-17

Well the guy below me just basically summed up the whole concept behind this album. I also want to add that there were credits on the back of this CD (like the ones you see on movie posters), so that was a big giveaway on what exactly it was that they were trying to do.

Now the songs themselves are spectactular. Trying to compare this to other O.K. albums (except for their self titled album and Prince Poetry's solo album, I don't have those yet), they come with a more harder edge towards battle rhymes in songs like "Questions" and "9 Times Out Of 10" unlike "Stress..." and "Internal Affairs" which was aimed a little more toward comercial rhymes (not saying they or that concept was bad). When you go along deeper in the album, you get more songs like my favorite "Numbers" in which they throw numbers into their rhymes aming for more creativity, which makes it a plus. "Sugah Shorty" adds on to the whole Equanox concept as Hurricane G would briefly play the sugah shorty, and does a decent job. Song "In Vitro", is another song that goes with the albums concept lyrically as talking about a child being born and comming up despite many obsticales. The dark tracks "Sin" and "Hate" comes off with some word play that will gurantee to make your head nod. "Some How, Some Way" which carries over from a drive by that character Malice was involved, comes to realize what life has to offer in life than selling crack, going to clubs for women, and violence, involving the characters, which wraps up the whole story. "The Essance" is the bonus track of the album that comes off nice featuring Xtreme and O.C. Production wise fits the rhymes as well as the concept like a puzzle that makes it a plus. Either way, I've yet to hear one wack rhyme from anyone in this.

I think this is Organized Konusion showing their creativity making this album "The Equinox". The concept and skits could be hard to enjoy the first time around, but if you're one of those people who listen to albums all the way through, sit down and be open-minded/approach differently than other albums, you will like this one.

The only album I can think of that has a somewhat similar concept up to date is Little Brother's "The Minstrual Show".

This album is an Innovative, Epic Classic & it's OVER YA HEADS..........2005-07-21

This is the best & most creative concept album ever made, hands down - no question (Prince Paul's "A Prince Among Thieves" comes close). How can you true Hip-Hop heads & loyal OK fans (casual listeners & bandwagon jumpers have no say in this matter) possibly believe that a duo as intelligent & ingenious as Pharoahe Monch & Prince Po (former art school students) would produce a 'failed' concept album? If you know OK, you know that failed albums simply aren't in the cards. You REALLY have to read between the lines to see & understand it (as you do w/ deciphering ALOT of their tracks & lyrics), but if & when you do - you'll see how truly brilliant this concept-album is.

99.5% of Hip-Hop albums are just collections of tracks (nothing wrong w/ that). The other .5% step outside the norm and try to create something abstract & different ie, the concept album. These albums are usually met w/ confusion, disdain, whatever, the point is we as Hip-Hop heads are so used to one way of doing things, that to experience something so familiar in a different light is sometimes hard to digest. When I first heard "The Equinox" I knew something was up, but I had idea what they were trying to do. Like most of the other reviewers, I just enjoyed the tracks and ignored (and was annoyed by) the skits and intros. It doesn't help that 90% of skits on Hip-Hop albums are pointless and intrusive...so naturally we've learned to ignore and skip-over them. It wasn't until I committed myself to ACTUALLY LISTENING to the album in it's entirety w/ an open mind, that I fully understood and appreciated what it was OK was trying to do here.

Take for example, a movie. Now chop it up into 21 scenes. Now watch only 14 of the scenes, in any random sequence. This is what you're doing if you listen to "The Equinox" just for the tracks. There's nothing wrong w/ this, I do it all the time, 'cause sometimes I just wanna hear certain dope cuts off the album. BUT if this is what you do w/ this album, then you have no right to call it a 'failure' of a concept-album 'cause you don't get it.
It's easy to see why people think the tracks have nothing to do w/ the plot of the story. OK wanted to make a movie outta "The Equinox," but didn't have the support or resources to do it, so they opted to make the album as movie like as possible - check the front and back covers for instance. Each track is like a scene in a movie, where each individual track means very little on it's own. But as a collective, each track builds on the story and thickens the plot. See what I'm sayin'?

"The Equinox," follows the lives of Life (OK's manager, Xtreme) & Malice (D.I.T.C. member O.C). The two wily young hustlers, one good, one bad, are followed as they grow from young punks into men. Basically, it's a Hip-Hop coming of age story. A prominent concept within the concept is the album's narration by a older voice, the character Life reflecting back on his youth.
The equinox is the two times of the year when light and dark are in perfect balance in a day. This is the sustained-metaphor in a the story which indulges itself in the duality of good and evil and the balance of morality in one's life.

The quick synopsis is this; the two kids start out by just livin' like young punks, doin' drive-bys, rebelling against authority figures, goin' to clubs, etc. As they grow-up they decide to go into the money-makin' business (a corrupt cheque-cashing store). The "light" side of the album ends at track #11 "Shugah Shorty" a classic track about flippin' it on girls, but this is where the fun ends.
The following skit, track #12 opens the "dark" side of the album. They get deeply involved in the underworld as other problem's arise in their lives, pregnancies, betrayal by a crew member, the provocation of self-hatred between two best-friends and eventually gettin' driven-by.
A voilent lesson nails down the moral, and w/ "Somehow, Someway" the two are presented w/ a fork in the road and emerge changed and (luckily) alive into men. The "Epilogue," tells of how they've come 180 degrees, realizing there's more important things in life. The hidden final track "United as One," combines Pharoahe (the world's best asthmatic MC), Prince Po and the characters Life (Xtreme) & Malice (O.C.). I think of this as the track they'd play over the closing credits.

So that's that. As for the musical content of the album, I've never heard OK better than this. The often dark production is stellar and fits the album's vibe perfectly. Lyrically, OK are at their best, bringing supremely intelligent and creative lyrics we've come to expect. My favorite cuts are "Questions," "Hate" & "Invetro." Even through the concept, OK still keeps it true to form, "Questions" contains my favorite hook that I've ever heard them spit: "Yo Pharoahe, brother why don't you explain, how did Hip-Hop get caught up in this ill rap game? I got a question, in Hip-Hop, who they followin'? Them n*gga's with skills or them n*gga's who be hollarin'? Them n*gga's that be hollarin' is subject to modelin' n*gga's with skills, always and forever keeps a followin', swallowin' pride - never, we be imperialistic, who rips sh*t w/o being materialistic?" Classic.
"Hate," has the two MC's flippin' perspectives and rhyming from the viewpoint of racist Aryan skinheads commenting on the black community. It's severely powerful and disturbing, especially Prince's last verse. The track figures into their severe depression in the story.
My favorite cut on the album, has to be "Invetro." This track is mind-blowing in it's originality and effectiveness. They rap from the perspective of a fetus in the belly of a cracked-out single mom, each MC taking half the soul: Monch, w/ the chip on his shoulder, wishing he wasn't going to be born and Prince as the optimist just lookin' for a chance at life. It's incredibly moving, and done over a beautiful Buckwild beat.

Bottom Line: This album is a breath of fresh air. It's unique, has a great underlying meaning and is lyrically perfect. I think it's their best work ever. Call it a home-run, it's outta the park and it's over ya head...but hopefully now you can appreciate it in all it's glory. It's time OK got the full props they deserve for this epic. A 5 star masterpiece, Peace.

Coulda been a classic, but it's bit too ambitious.......2005-03-11

No question, Organized Konfusion will go down as one of the most lyrically tight rap groups ever. There third offering was definitely there most ambitious effort yet. While the group had tackled and practically redefined the concept track, they took on the feat of creating a concept album "The Equinox". Unfortunately this ends up being the major flaw of the album. Probably the oddest choice in making a concept album was the fact that the actual songs make little or no reference to the story/concept. The songs do nothing to add to the skits and vice versa. But, strip the album from the skits and the story and you're left with a 12-track album from OK.

The self produced "They Don't Want It!" serves as a warning for the listener (look at it as the real intro for the concept-less album). Unfortunately, no rhymes hear on this tight beat, but the duo finally drops it on "9xs Out of 10". While it's all too short at 1:48, it's still enough time for the crew to drop several killer lines (PM: "I'm hitting you harder than Nancy Kerrigan on the shin/ F*** if you can't comprehend").
"Questions" is the first full-length track on the album (produced by Diamond D), which was the `single'. This is classic OK, over an up-beat jazzy production, the lyrics are just dense with quotables. There's really no way to describe either flow, even if you see their lyrics. But, if you've never heard Pharaohe Monch rip the mic, here's a taste ("I'm movin on all you punk Bambino bastards/ Your style's depleted like muscles without amino acids/ I blast kids with mass times matter/ Forever clingin to endeavors defined, clever words/ thus waiting never, frustrating verbs to rip/ My rap ratings eradicate/ For me to take rhythms and mate 'em with rhymes in mating season/ Creating s*** never before made it/ I'm makin hybrids, created potent enough to open eyelids/ and leave pupils dilated, stress is alleviated/ Now it's easier, plus economically feasible/ for me to leave rap listeners queasy and inebriated/ We made it we came, dedicated we rated supreme/ Even with or without the cream").

The Rasheed produced "Soundman" is about as `club' as OK ever gets. Over the thumping base and hard drum snap both rappers choose to show the audience why they're the self-proclaimed "God's gift to vo-cabulary". Similarly "Move" tells of club exploits, using their spoken words to move the crowd instead of beat (which is pretty stripped down to its base). "Confrontations" is a bit more slowed down, although still driven by a hard bass and basic drums provided by Showbiz. The chorus is not quite as compelling as the others, and while this may be the weakest track, I'd still rate it a 7/10.

"Numbers" has an ominous feel as echoing bell tolls roll over another hard thumping bass line. OK's mathematic raps make even the greatest MCs look inferior (Prince: "20 thousand Leagues, extra deep/ Runnin with the number 13 with my 40 Below's upon the feet/ Now Adam 12 got me in this 20-20/ so I'm double O seven about my 4-1-1/ 74 catch my 83 degrees of heat/ We merkin four-twenty eat island three five N2Deep/ Mack 10 under seat for carjacking Passenger 57's/ A Product 19 who gets the dumpster behind 7 Eleven/ 4-1-0-8-0-9-1-5-9/ Same 2-2-7 style with one nosy b**** in the blind/ Hit, one-five-five for twenty sacks and better/ Nothin but love for this n****, Mr. 16th Letter"). This proves to be another album highlight.

It's good to see OK save most their sex exploits for one track "Shugah Shorty", which allows them to be completely focused when they completely rip the track. Thank goodness Hurricane G's verse is held to only 2 lines, because based on those 2 she could have seriously ruined this stellar track (and it's one of the only tracks that goes along with the skits). Buckwild follows with the introspective "Invertro". The xylophone is a perfect match for the tracks subject matter as OK spits their usual quick paced rhymes about their upbringings and faith.

"Chuck Cheese" has a dark cinematic feel. Prince Po, on his own, weaves a story-telling rap that would make Slick Rick proud. Po shows he can definitely hold his own, as this turns out to be another solid track. While the concept of "Sin" is on point and the lyrics are pretty tight, it's hard to listen to repeatedly. Nevertheless, you can't fault Pharaohe for being creative. Maybe the concept album didn't work, but they still know how to bring a thought provoking concept track. The best example of this is the absolutely chilling "Hate". The track actually has Monch rapping from the point-of-view of a racist and Prince Po as a Neo-Nazi. Prince Po's verse was so disturbing and thought provoking; he was given Hip-Hop Quotable for the source. You won't sleep easy after this one.

The final track closes this album on a strong note. An untypical Rockwilder beat for "Somehow, Someway" compliments stunning performances by both rappers (PM: "Pharoahe, eager to see feeble intermediate MCs/ Immediately, deleted repeated-ily/ Y'all know the unprecedented/ without herb every single word'll be verbally demented/ Presented, so that when it disintegrates/ no sentiments, are imminent/ Standin alone against your tenement"). There's a bonus track here as well, "United As One" which is merely ok, cause it never allows either member of OK to really get into a full verse.

So, the overall concept of the album failed. Masta Ace, Prince Paul, and even Sticky Fingaz came through later and were successful. Here it really impacts "The Equinox" negatively though, making it nearly impossible to go one track without skipping through a skit. Furthermore it takes up a lot of time on the album. Of the 21 that span 62 min, you are actually left with 1 intro and 14 songs (I included the bonus track), which span only 45 min!! (I actually went through and calculated this by taking off skits that came at the end of tracks too). That really is really quite ridiculous.

Despite the concept aspect of the album, the lyrics are practically perfect. The duo never ever spits anything that's remotely wack and their rhymes are great at WORST. The beats are some of the best that they have ever had to rip the mic over. If "The Equinox" dropped the 20 min of skits and filled half that time with two more great tracks, this would be pushing underground classic status. Instead it'll have your fingers blistering from track skipping. Whoever was the exec producer dropped the ball, and simply the group made a mistake by taking on too much with the concept album idea. I'd still recommend this album, because quite frankly the lyrics are absolutely sick at times and it's some of OK's best stuff... you're just gonna need a bit of patience to truly enjoy it

Equinox as is: 6.5/10
Equinox without the concept/skits: 9/10

The equinox....it rocks!!.......2005-02-14

In my opinion this was definitely O.K.'s crowning moment which makes it even more frustrating that this was their last outing as a duo. Where as their debut was more intellectual+their 2nd album was dark, deep and sinister, this is their most straight forward, no nonsense, battle orientated hiphop album. Laced with the hardest+funkiest beats in their entire catalogue and blessed with top notch airtight party jams+battle rhymes this is a true b-boy's dream. With production handled by DIAMOND D, BUCKWILD, SHOWBIZ and ROCKWILDER aswell as O.K. themselves all the tracks are blazing!!! These 2 mc's were never really giving the backing their very obvious talent deserved (just like ARTIFACTS around the same time) so the inevitable happened and they split up shortly after this, their 3rd album. Its a shame 'cuz with anthems such as "soundman", "move!" "questions", "numbers" and the perfect "somehow, someway" aswell as high charged battle tracks like "confrontations", "sin", "hate" and "chuck cheese" added to the melodic "invetro" and "shugah shorty" the album really is tight from start to finish. Dope album, no question!!

Greatest Group Ever.......2004-12-13

These two should get back together and make another album. All three albums: Organized Konfusion, Stress Extinction Agenda, and The Equinox, should be in all collections before you buy anything else.

If you loved Word..Life or Jewelz, this is for you. Its full of remixes from those 2 classic LP's and some unreleased songs and a few songs from the DITC- Worldwide album

OC is a legend and he deserves all of the props he gets.He doesnt get all the credit he deserves for helping make rap what it is. The only thing that i was hoping for that I didnt get was a "Times Up"remix. I would highly recommend this to Diehard OC fans but if you are new to OC start with Jewlez or W..L then if you like what you hear( im sure you will) cop this.

These two should get back together and make another album. All three albums: Organized Konfusion, Stress Extinction Agenda, and The Equinox, should be in all collections before you buy anything else.

One of the most underrated rap groups of all time!.......2007-02-28

Organized Konfusion should go down as one of the Top 5 rap groups of the 1990's. Combining some of the most innovative lyrics to go along with some of the dopest beats, Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po never quite got the credit they deserved. Their self-titled "ORGANIZED KONFUSION," "STRESS: THE EXTINCTION AGENDA" and "THE EQUINOX" were groundbreaking albums. Of course, Monch's first solo effort, "INTERNAL AFFAIRS" is a hip-hop classic!

As far as this CD-single goes, "WHO STOLE MY LAST PIECE OF CHICKEN?" was a clever hook that works unlike other gimmick-type songs. As good as "Chicken" is though, the other cut featured here... "THE ROUGH SIDE OF TOWN (SOUTHSIDE) is in my opinion one of the best songs lyrically you're going to hear! Here is one their lyrics:

Your man wants to get rid of ya
Cause now you're the number one neighborhood pharmeceutical distributor
How could you ever expect this
From your man that he would plant product inside of your lexus
Today you're having lunch with a cutie
You gotta hunch you're the type of brother that's moody
So instead you drive a sterling, lime green
To match the colors inside of your eightball sherling
So today he escapes fate, to live another day
To pick up scale weight inside of a ghetto

Reading it doesn't give it as much justice. You have to hear it to appreciate the flow and you have a chance to by copping this single. As rare as this is, you shouldn't miss this one because you may not see it again for a LONG time!
