Review

Spin (p.82) - "Extraordinarily irrational and willfully convoluted, JHELLI BEAM is avant-rap as quantum physics."
Pitchfork (Website) - "As always, Busdriver is about as technically impressive as an MC can get, the cultural vocabulary of DOOM funneled through Doseone's vocal dexterity."

Title Note

Audio Mixer: Daddy Kev.

Busdriver comes at hip-hop from an unusual, almost detached position; he has proclaimed no love for the genre. On his 2009 effort, JHELLI BEANS, he opens with "conscious rap failed us" and adds "welcome to my rap jam" with such disdain one can practically hear the air quotes, yet his tongue-twisted raps reveal real reverence. However, his perceived distance and his neglected worship of hip-hop's sacred cows pay dividends in the obtuse twists the Cali MC puts on his raps, the oddball speeded-up and screwed-down narratives, bizarre couplets, and just plain gloriously weird juxtapositions (as on "Me-Time" where he wraps his rhymes around the third movement of Mozart's Sonata in A).
