 Stic.Man & Young Noble - Soldier 2 Soldier
Submitted on: 2007-02-19 |

| Stic.Man (A.K.A. Clayton Gavin) of Dead Prez & Young Noble (A.K.A. Rufus Cooper) of the Outlawz collaboration album is "Soldier 2 Soldier" (2006). While the Outlawz/Dead Prez collaboration album "Can't Sell Dope Forever" got some recognition, this release flew under most people's music radar. Stic.Man to me is one of the Rap games' slept on MC's - a gifted lyricist/singer who has delivered memorable album's as one half of Dead Prez. I have followed Young Noble's music from the multiple Outlawz album's and his appearances on 2Pac's (A.K.A. Makaveli) "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory" and watched him grow as an artist. The album's introduction is a "Soldier's Prayer AM" - two minutes of substantial words about living life in a productive way - staying true, loyal, keeping one's respect, looking after one's family, staying fit, having beliefs, values and character, overcoming obstacles and being humble. The opening full length track is the single "Runaway Slave" - Stic.Man and Young Noble rhyme back and forth backed by some simple production. The follow up cut is a street banger "Young Black and Just Don't Give A ****", Noble and Stic lace this cut with some raw, grimy lyric's with a guerilla state of mind. Stic.Man & Young Noble remind their audience of the nation's dark past - slavery, corruption, injustice, racism while asking "How U Like That". A short interlude follow's in which Stic.Man talks about the importance of educating the children so they can overcome life's obstacles, which leads into the outstanding "Daddy's Love You" - a track where Stic.Man and Young Noble show their love for their children, giving them advice for the future. Both MC's provide memorable lyrics, while Stic.Man's simple soulful chorus is on point. "Soul Music" is an upbeat feel good track which appreciates the soul classic's of the past, this one vibes well. "Tryin' 2 Make a Livin" is another standout joint, about the struggle to survive. My favourite track on this release at the moment is "Time" - substantial lyrics with a concept that applies to us all - We need to make the most of our lives, because life is short. We have got to appreciate every day like it's our last, because any day it could be. "4 Life" is a track dedicated to that special one of a kind women who is down to ride to the end, once again Stic laces another joint with some soulful vocals - I like how the let one of the album's better beat's run at the end. Stic and Noble then appreciate chronic on "Kali4nya" while stating what it takes to be a soldier on "Like A Soldier Wit It". The album closes with another positive prayer in "Soldier's Prayer PM". The only negative of this album for me is production which is generally sparse, at times lacking and feels unfinished - It would be good to see these two get the production they deserve. Both MC's make up for this by delivering on point lyrics throughout. I would like to see more Dead Prez-Outlaw collaboration projects in the future. Stic.Man & Young Noble provide a quality release, with "Soldier 2 Soldier". |

Something for the TRUE hip hop fan

| I agree with one reviewer that this ain't pure heater beginnin to end, but Stic and Young Noble speak on things we NEED to hear instead of the same ol same ol. how many Nellys, Chingys, Lil Waynes can we stomach? Stic man of course there is gonna be that revolutionary Brooklyn flow and Noble with the Outlawz/Pac resume has something to say hisself!! the beats and message make up for the holes in this release. With everybody puttin out mixtapes these days, even the big bling blingas, this is a refreshing change of route, a good alternative to gettin an earful of the same gahbagE!! |

| This is way better than "U Can't Sell Dope Forever", let me make that clear. They actually put some thought and time into this. I am glad I purchased this because "Can't Sell" almost made me leave this one on the shelves. What I like about this release is the subject matter changes up. Its a relovlutionary album but that is not all they talk about. Stic Man and Noble lyrically step up on this album. The tracks are above average but are not pure heaters. But the soul put into the tracks make up for the producation. I wish cd's like this were promoted better, we as a people and Hip-Hop need this right now. Hotep!!! |

| the unification of dpz and the people's army with pac's outlawz 1 nation movement only makes too much sense and this is another dream come true for hip hop revolutionaries. You like music with a message that is not over produced, this one's for you. Besides Smoke with Me and Kali4NYa everythiing is real and on point. Ase' |

| This was a total surprise, I walked in the record store and I saw this and I had to buy it. Most Hip Hop Fans will be skeptical in buying this because of Young Noble but this is worth your money. Stic Man out shines Young Noble on this as I guessed he would but Young Noble holds his own. Daddy Loves You and Soul Music are one of my Favorites, and production on this album is worthy.Just go Copp this one Man..True Hip Hop Lives on..RBG for Life.. |
