New Danger Reviews
Sophomore Slump
Posted : 17 years, 3 months ago on 23 January 2007 06:38The followup album to what I often consider one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, Black on Both Sides, has fallen well short of a long hiatus and high expectations. The New Danger showcases a major shift of hip hop talent dubbed over traditional beats to a more rock and roll flavor. I like the attempt, but the end result lacked the enthusiasm of Mos Def's legendary debut. Recycled lyrics and a lack of real "hip hop" are largely to blame for this sophomore slump.
