Secondary Protocol

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Compared to the slow-roll flows of most West Coast rappers, Wildchild rhymes in wind sprints. Every exhalation races to the finish; as Wildchild explains in "Code Red," "build momentum/gain it/to pass you like Marion Jones." It's an exhilarating, though at times exhausting, experience to take him at full force, but guests like Aceyalone, labelmate Medaphoar, and fast rap legend Percee P provide some respite from Wildchild's lyrical storm. Though this is supposed to be Wildchild's solo moment, the entire album is produced by his Lootpack partner Madlib and Madlib's younger brother Oh No (talented family, that one), although Madlib never actually cameos with his funky, clunky rhymes. Instead, the prolific producer and baby brother provide a consistent sound bed, full of dust-drizzled loops and iron-fisted percussive blows. This balance offers the best of both worlds--giving Wildchild a convincing opportunity to shine on his own but remaining familiar enough for Lootpack fans to enjoy as well. --Oliver Wang

1/2 of the Lootpack... well kind of..........2006-05-23

Solo LP from 1/2 of the LPs, but preety much everybody makes a cameo. Two thirds of the production is handled by Madlib himself and the rest is by Madlib's lil' bro Oh No. The result... a solid album that feels like a Lootpack release, but without the helium voiced Quasimoto and mumbly Madlib on the mic.

One of the drawbacks, like one of the other reviewers stated, is that Wildchild has to let you know his name, "Wildchild aka Cracker Jack," all the time. Despite that, the beats, the rhymes... it's all good. This is yet another dope Stones Throw release. Bonified headphone material.

Nice record.......2006-04-12

In truth I'd give it 4.5, but we're rounding up. If you like the Lootpack, this is just about as good. It's a little cleaner, a little less totally-blunted-and-messed-up. Not much, but a little. Well worth picking up.

(And in answer to a previous review: yes, I'm sick of Dilated, J5, and some others. But I'm not sick of Madlib or Wildchild... these guys will continue to get my money.)

It's Nice.......2005-11-08

3.75 Stars. Last year, when I purchased this album, I was glad it was better than that Jaylib crap. (That also got sold back) Wildchild is indeed an emcee who can bring it to yo chest. He has a fast flow but its too the beat, in a big boi type fashion, but Wildchild is one of those emcees that posessess raw talent. Madlib, and Oh No produce the entire album, and produce it they do. I strongly believe Wildchild had full say in this project because the beats he chose were bangin'.

Stand out tracks:
1) Kiana
2) Putting in Work
3) Next Movement
4) Bounce

He recieves some guest shots from Planet Asia, Spontaneous, and Phil Da Agony. All and all, the album is solid over all.

If you like Lootpack's "Soundpieces" album, get this one because it doesn't dissapoint.

It's better than "Madvillany" and "Jaylib"............for those albums get the WTF, treatment.

P.S. They get sold back too!!!!!!!!!

classic... No Dope... Yes.......2005-10-19

Wildchild makes his solo debut on stones throw and for the most part it is what we have come to expect from Madlib. If you enjoy Tha Liks and The Living Legends than this may just be your new favorite MC. Production is handled mostly by Madlib but the production is not as good as his quasimoto album. The songs have that strong west coast party feel to them and for the most part this is a great adittion to any Hiphoppers collection their are only a few tracks that are subpar. Wildchilds flow is very impressive to say the least he flows over all of these tracks like it is just second nature to him. his rhymes remind me of planet Asia and just like asia WC comes lyricly weak on a few tracks but still shows that he has enormous potential. This cat hasnt had anything new out for awhile so I am anxiously awaiting a new LP from him.

Can't Stop Won't Stop!.......2004-11-14

Man Stones Throw is on a roll this year. First they drop Jaylib and Charizma at the end of '03; then they bust out Madvillain, Stevie, Oh No and now Wild Child. This album is no Jaylib or Madvillain but that's not to say it's weak. This album is, in fact, great.

Having picked up Oh No's 'The Disrupt' five minutes ago I'm still riding the Stones Throw train of thought - that is to say that you can't EVER go wrong with the production and that while the lyrics are an acquired taste they do grow on you without even having to try. There is very little effort invested in liking Stones Throw hip hop right now because Madlib and brother Oh No, as producers, are at the top of their game. For the beat-miner in you these brothers will not let you down - Madlib never lets you down beat-wise and Oh No is distinguishing his own soul-heavy style that is most certainly similar to his older bro but distinct nonetheless in that he opts for a crispy, more coherent sound than Mad's often experimental sound.

Wild Child is not the most memorable MC as far as lyrics of flow goes. He can definitely hold his own on the mic but there's nothing really there to write home about. I love his energy, it's reminiscent of a Busta Rhymes circa Leaders of New School. Similar to Oh No's album, where the lyrics come off as the weaker half of the beats-lyrics combo, Secondary Protocol's production will jump off your speakers and into your heart way before you start warming up to the flow.

I can't get enough of Stones Throw right now. They never let me down. This album is a must-buy solely based on the fact that they are emerging as history's most slept-on rap label of all time. Support these guys, they deserve your love and your money.
