“DJ Slice” CD Review
Reviewed by Akil Houston
Got Beats? DJ Slice
The compilation of beats assembled by DJ Slice
represents an orchestra of West Coast influenced sound. Although
one can feel echoes of a Dr. Dre production there is a unique flavor that
gives the various tracks originality. Since the cd contains just tracks
there weren’t any lyrics to also critique. The tracks as a collective
stand as a testament to solid production work, however there were several
tracks that really stood out. Tracks 4, 6,7,10 and 12.Track
12 especially was an eargasm with the use of the phone effect, very
creative. Recent popular rap music suggests that beats are everything,
even making mediocre to flat out questionable lyricism consumer favorites.
With regard to classroom use the beats don’t necessarily
warrant an immediate response, however they are an excellent source for
discussing the distinction of west coast production. The guitar riffs,
chimes and melodic slow bass line is a staple of what has become known
as “that west coast sound.”
