Never Again!
I've only heard a few songs from this CD but the track "Never Again" is hands down the most influential song I've ever heard. It's touching yet the rhymes are really inventive. It's poetry at it's best, with a message about hate, genocide, and not doing the right thing. This song alone is worth buying this CD!
What is this?
I remember a few years ago anticipating the release of the white rapper affiliated with Wu- Tang. I first heard Remedy, as I imagine everyone did on The swarm with "never again" which impressed me thoroughly. I looked for more of his music, never to find anything.
So fast forward 4-5 years later, to me at the record store. I see Code Red and think "oh man, this should be good!" I bought it without hesitation, and went to my car to give it a fair listen. I literally started laughing at nearly all the tracks. Was this guy serious?
Luckily he included "never again" (even though he added on a ridiculous intro, and it seems as though the sound quality has dropped slightly), seeing that my Swarm cd was stolen. Exodus was humorous, but decent. All of the other tracks were forgettable. I actually wish I could forget how poor some of them were. I was really rooting for Remedy, but he left me a little dissapointed.
Knowledge
This album is full of knowledge, like all Wu-Tang affiliated music. In the intro Remedy sets the stage for this LP, "And Now I Bring The Offering: Remedy, Another Genuine Article" and he produces, Book Of Life is a thinking man's track. If you listen to the album from beginning to end, he definetely reps his roots and drops a gem for everyone.I personally enjoyed this album, it's definetely worth your time.
Remedy's Second Album
[...]P>Anyway, the track is still slams and the rest of the album is decent. Never Again is included. There's also a song called Exodus, about the Passover story. There arn't any Pink Floyd or Ozzy Osbourne samples on here either, not that I have a problem with Floyd or Ozzy. Anoher good track is the one about record companies rushing to try and create the next Eminem.
New Era Of Hip-Hop
Remedy is one of the most outstanding MC's I've ever seen. I've actually had the privalage of seeing this young man perform live, and he is just great. This album has all kinds of interesting beats and lyrics. The words in every song have a significant meaning. Remedy is a promising performer. Look for him to make it big in the Hip-Hop industry. This CD is a great buy!
