LA's very own.......2005-06-09

2Mex is an LA underground hip-hop staple. He's from the original Good Life Cafe, the legendary spot that spawned Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, Pigeon John, Volume 10 to name a few...

2Mex is also in the super-group Visionaries, is down with the Shapeshifters, and Project Blowed. Basically, this is one of the hardest working artists on the underground.

He's influenced by everything from Public Enemy and XClan, to Dr. Demento and They Might Be Giants, to even the Cure. Clever wordplay, punk rock attitude, mosh pit energy, and head nodding hip-hop bangers is what best describes this Mid-City LA lyrical matador.

This album is a must get, and if you haven't heard the new SONGODSUNS "Over the Counter Culture" album, which is 2Mex's new alter-ego album, he's stepped it up even further with Visionaries style production, and more of his 2Mexish lyrical tattoing.

2Mex is the Man.......2004-07-22

This album is dope. 2mex is one of my top 5 favorite mcs of all time. This is every bit as good as the classics Mind Clouders and B-Boys in occupied Mexico. The production is fantastic, done by Omid and Liferexall.

On "Only as Good as Goodbye" 2mex flows over "Shreem," a track from Omid's "Distant Drummer." (Omid, by the way, is just about the dopest producer in hip hop today. Check out Beneath the Surface and Monolith.) A few of the tracks are really upbeat and hard-rockin', and others are really chill and melodic. The last song (binary numbers) is like 10 minutes of experimental beats, sirens, rhymes from several mcs, and a "Falcon Gentle" remix.

Check out Busdriver & 2mex's "Live Radio Concert" CD for live versions of "Falcon Gentle" and "Baby I Ain't Joking."

finally coming together for alex.......2004-04-24

For starters, I probably would have given this album 3 1/2 stars if that were an option. Still, this is a VERY solid effort from the Visionary and ShapeShifter member. The album starts a little slow, but definitely picks up momentum throughout, and ends in stellar fashion, probably peaking at 'escape from the toyota matrix' w/lmno. lyrically, it is solid as a rock, but some of the beats are a little plain for my liking, but regardless if you are a fan of the west-coast underground sound, this album is a must have. 2Mex has definitely improved over the years, if you told me 3 years ago that 2mex would bring enough heat to carry a solo effort of his own, i would have told you to get off the pipe. Props to this hard working and humble mc for a worthy release.

2 MEX.......2004-03-02

Dope hip hop, 2MEX is the sickest lyricist,
fat beats combined with hellafresh word play,
My favorite songs were Dreamin under preasure,
and the underground hip hop love song "baby I aint Joking"
with Labelmate Awolone.
It looks like he has hit his peak with this album the production by Omid and Life Rexall is a journey thru sound and I must end it with 2MEX Lyrics

My name is 2mex I'm not afraid of the cops
I just live, check to check and I play hip hop
I got a brand new cd that I know you don't got
I got my own fat section in the mom and pops

I'm the reason your little brother is not a gangster
I'd like to take a little bit of time to just thank you
for buying imitations to weak toys
you've spawned a new nation of b-boys

the bling bling stuff was a mirage
I got your sister doing head spins in the the garage
you can pass the xo and the hennessy
Pass me the x clan and public enemy

you might catch me in an escalade
but i don't make hip hop to have sex and get paid>
when you feeling down like you dont belong
and you actually care about lyrics to song

I got this brand new drug and its the bomb
It called run back home and hug your mom

Very sweet.......2006-07-11

It's a nice collection of Malagasy music. I think the traditional harp, the valiha, which I love to hear so much, is more often played in this volume 2 than in volume 1. The two country & western songs come as a surprise, but I suppose that just goes to show that there are "world music" fans everywhere, even in Madagascar!

Better than #1.......2006-04-09

I would disagree that this is weaker than the first record. This one is more consistent, and it is the one I listen to most often. Both are good, though.

Still good, but the weakest CD in the series.......2002-06-04

In 1991, guitarists Henry Kaiser and David Lindley brought a digital recording studio to Madagascar and spent 2 weeks recording as many top musicians as they could, sometimes playing along with them. Of all the world music I've heard, the music of Madagascar is by far my favorite, and this series is the best introduction you're going to find. That said, this CD is the weakest of the series--all the best material was used on Volume 1 (a second recording trip was made to produce Vol. 3). The best stuff here is by Dama Mahaleo, who the Shanachie label's liner notes invariably refer to as a cross between Bob Dylan and John Lennon. The tracks by his band Mahaleo, and his flatpicking on "Sambo de Gera", a duet with D'Gary, are splendid. Rossy and Tarika Sammy, a couple of my favorites, are here, but except for Rossy's "Tsihai Akory Atao", these are not among their best songs. Rossy provides a cover of Merle Haggard's "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive", with Lindley singing the lead vocal. Roger Georges provides a salegy, a Malagasy dance beat in 12/8, with the accent on the second beat in each triplet. Sylvestre Randafison, a master of the valiha, a tubular zither with a harp-like sound, contributes the standard "Afindrafindao". The album opens with an accidental project by the recording engineer, who inadvertently taped a test drum machine recording onto a tape of lemur noises, and found they fit in perfect time together. You can't go wrong with any CD in this series, but to develop a proper love of Madagascar's music, go with Volume 1 if you can find it.

Great variety of artists and talents.......1999-07-27

The producers of this CD really went to great length to find the talents on this CD. The music is varied and from many parts of Madagascar. This is part of a 3-CD collection and is a "must-have" for Malagasy songs addicts, like myself. The last track (n. 17) is the loveliest for me, which just happened to be recorded because the microphone was accidentally left ON. I imagine the American Producers getting their first taste of Malagasy music, with Tarika Ramilison singing and dancing a dihy Gasy... cultural shock and all. Then realize in the morning that it was all caught in tape... Just plain old and wonderful Dihy Gasy uncut. But there are also the other artists: It starts with the beckoning calls of the Lemurs, followed by my all time favorite "O Isa" by Rossy& Rakoto Frah ( It makes me cry) Of course, it has to contain Mahaleo with "Tany Boribory" and a welcomed twist of a foreign song (I think American but I am not sure) by Rossy in "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive." Yes, Rossy can deliver quality work in English! Tarika Rakoto Frah sings the all-too-familiar tune of "viavy Rozy." Of course, no collection is complete without the famous "Afindrafindrao" played so wonderfully by Sylvestre Randafison & Germain Rakotomavo. "Sambo De Gera" is a great tune for a Dama's fan. Rakoto Frah even invented a song at the recording station, just like that, on the spot... how about that. He is just so great! Voninavoko is a household name in Madagascar. "Tadidiko" is Mahaleo's way of thanking their fans through the 1972 event (grevy)... through thick and thin. There are so many more songs that you will have to find yourself.

Album Details

This Record Will Do Just as Well. A Horribly Compelling Grab-bag of 70s Jukebox Hits Covered by South Texas Moravian, Bohemian and German Bar Bands. The Ellinger Combo Sound Stoned Out of their Brains Droning Out the Anti-hippy Anthem "Okie from Muskogee". Joe Patek's Orchestra Are a Righteously Groovefree Oompah Band Hilariously Lurching their Way Through Hank Williams's "Fraufein". Even More of a Nightmare, Adolf Hofner. And his Pearl Wranglers Transform "i'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time" Into a Threat from a Manic Depressive. In Some Ways a Wonderful Collection, but If You Identify with this Music, Just Don't Move Into My Neighbourhood.
