专辑简介

There once was a young man named Bazooka Joe who was on tour with Dres from Black Sheep as his DJ. Driving through the state of Louisiana, Joe could not have known the shrewd way the fingernail of destiny sketched an image in the beachsand of future events. Eventually arriving in New Orleans, Joe came to learn a crafty MC named Impulss would be opening for the Black Sheep show. Some way or another, they got real cool, as the young people say! Impulss had a new CD out that has a title way too long for me to expend the energy to type out here. Joe liked the album and thought Impulss was nice. He felt that Impulss had a multi-syllabic rhyming wordplay beckoning Eminem and Souls of Mischief. The intelligent content called Mos Def and MF Doom while the voice played with the fun inflections in a Phaycydeish manner. He had a beat that he made using a sample by a NOLA musician that I can't remember the name of, regrettably. He sent it Impulss' way and he recorded something before the day was out. Hearing the song, Joe commented that it would be d**e to do a whole project using New Orleans samples like this. So much music has been originated down in the Crescent that it would be a great concept. Impulss concurred. Indeed, it is a concept album. It's a tribute to all the New Orleans musicians and NY Hip Hoppers that gave us the artforms that we benefit from so much today. Funny thing is Bazooka Joe would send Pulss one beat, Pulss would record lyrics, and Joe may remix it roughly 10 times before it was decided that this would be the one to serve the best purpose. This is a good, quite mightily good, CD. We worked hard on it and were pretty militant about only using New Orleans music (Fonk, Rock n Roll, Jazz and NOLA Blues, etc.) for the entire project. I hope you like it.
