Baby J For The People (mixtape)
“For The People” is essentially Baby J using his most successful beats a second time, just using different emcees. The cream of emcees is indeed an achievement considering that all verses were recorded exclusively for this project, with the likes of Rodney P, Klashnekoff, Micall Parknsun & Skinnyman all making an appearance.
Unfortunately the verbal remixes offer little in terms of bringing a new perspectives to the tracks, with only the very select few emcees bringing something fresh enough to truly warrant “For The People” to exist. Other disappointments include the way the tracks are mixed, with many emcees using the same beat the rewinds are somewhat sloppy and the Baby J signature of a baby laughing / ejaculating is not only highly, highly annoying, but also rather disturbing. The other day I was playing this CD in my car with the windows down and I was getting some funny looks in a traffic jam I can tell you!
What this mixtape does bring home though is how many of your favourite recent UK tunes are produced by this rather talented individual, whether or not it merits purchase is up for debate though, because personally I’d rather just hear the original works, plus I own most of them. The odd quality verse by some of the UK’s finest would usually have me running to the shops, but with so many mixes out on the market, this is competitioned all out!
