Organized Konfusion (CD)

Coming across at times goofy and nostalgic, but at most times unrelentingly serious, Organized Konfusion, the duo of Prince Poetry and Pharoahe Monch, gained instant underground celebrity in the early-1990s with its brash, cerebral brew of hip-hop. While for some the act is best remembered for the quasi-novelty single "Who Stole the Last Piece of Chicken?" which received heavy rotation on BET, the bulk of the act's critically lauded work is much darker and introspective, tackling issues from angles unseen before or since. While Pharoahe Monch's solo forays were few and far between, his distinctive voice delivering multi-syllabic flow has made him one of hip-hop's legendary mystic MCs.

Few artists have managed to have such an explosive impact with their debut album as Organized Konfusion. Showering listeners in a hailstorm of rapid rhymes, Prince Poetry and Pharoahe Monch showed that verbal styles could be both fast and deep. Funked-up party themes like "Fudge Pudge" and metaphoric monsters like "Releasing Hypnotical Gasses" were dense in their lyricism. But O.K. still had a sense of humor--shown on songs like "Who Stole My Last Piece of Chicken?"--as well as a meditative side, as on "Walk Into the Sun." The grooves were soulful, yet frantic at times, jumping from the midtempo cheer of "Audience Pleasers," to the hyperactive attack of "Releasing Hynotical Gasses." In fact, the only real flaw in their debut was an abundance of input--too many lyrics to decipher, too many beats to absorb. Maybe that''s why they waited three years for the sequel--to give us time to take it all in. --Oliver Wang
