Global Warning

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
With MCs Red 1 and Misfit, DJ/producer Kemo, and b-boys Zebroc and Dedos, Vancouver five-man crew the Rascalz admirably represent every facet of hip-hop culture. Evidently their purist stance has attracted positive attention, given the participation of veterans KRS-One and the Beatnuts on their third long-player, Global Warning, an already successful release in their native Canada.

The cameos are only bonuses, as the contrasting deliveries of lead MCs Red 1 and Misfit hold down certified bangers like "Can't Hide," produced by reputed beat-layer the Alchemist. They prove their versatility by drawing on everything from wrestler Bret "the Hitman" Hart to New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" for inspiration. But the chemistry between the MCs and Kemo's quirky, moody beats really gels when they explore diasporic realms. Whether trading rhymes with Francophone MC Muzion ("Bare Witness"), tapping steel-pan flavor on "Population Control," or featuring legendary reggae crooner Barrington Levy on the spellbinding "Top of the World," their effortless blending of influences subtly expresses the global nature of the hip-hop nation. --Del F. Cowie

3 out of 5 stars Rascalz- Global Warning.......2003-06-18

The Rascalz (Red 1, Misfit, Kemo, Zebroc, Dedos) dropped "Global Warning" there third album in 1999 (Previous Albums: Really Livin (1993) Juno Award winning (Cash Crop), later albums: Reloaded (2002). "Global Warning" was a momentual album as it helped put Vancouver on the hiphop map, and was widely popular in Canada and became well known internationally. I remember watching some of these guys play ball back in the day, and years later seeing them, at a local restraunt/bar, it is always good to see people from around your way make it. Guest appearances from artists like KRS-ONE, The Beatnuts, Choclair, K-OS, Barrington Levy, Kardinal Offishal and more, helped promote this album alot as well. Twenty tracks total some of the ones that standout for me are: "Top of the World" feat. reggae singer Barrington Levy, a melodic track which benefits from Levys sick vocals, "Fallen" Feat. Toronto mc K-OS, a song where the Rascalz reminisce, and K-OS drops addictive vocals, favourite track on this album. "Priceless" feat. Esthero has got a sad feel to it, and Rascalz kick some important knowledge: like theres more to living then money we have morals, love, hope, peace, so even though song has a sad feel to it, there are positive messages within. Beats throughout the album are fairly good, and theres variety in the music dropped, however there are some songs that just dont cut it, and others that are average. Noticeably some of the best tracks are the ones with guest appearances. Another thing I do appreciate about this album is the Rascalz willingness to diversify there music whether it has west indie flavour, Wu-Tang Sampling on "C-IV" or simply using concept of getting a WWF wrestler on the track "Sharpshooter". All though this wont go down as a great hiphop album, it did have an important effect on Canadian Music, and for that Canadian Hiphop Fans should be very grateful, hiphop in Vancity went from relatively unknown to mainstream thanks to pioneering groups like the Rascalz. 3.5

The rascalz are one of hip-hops most influential groups. They are a great inspiration to us all. Their work as musical artists and as people is outstanding among the rest. The lyrics throught the songs they sing help give us a new perspective and for me a new found respect for them.

4 out of 5 stars Blah Blaaaaaaaah.......2001-07-21

The beats on this album are varied. The tempos and feel change drastically from song to song. The lyrics are thoughtful. The two MC's have awesome contrasting voices. The Beatnuts kick. The Rascalz party hard, and make you think at the same time. If you like anyone from the Beatnuts to Common and The Roots, you'll love this album. Sounds sort of like early Fugees (Tranzlator Crew)

3 out of 5 stars CANADA RAP REPRESENTING.......2001-05-27

The Rascalz coming straight out of van city, representing for all of canada. This is a pionering album and it showcases the rascalz skills and diversity. If you want something totaly different than gangsta rap, this is definatly a good choice. You will be seeing more and more of the Rascalz as they continue thier invasion of the u.s markets.

5 out of 5 stars this album rules.......2001-04-29

I love this album. It is one of the best rap cd,s there is. Rascalz rule! this album rules! I can't wait for there next album.
