 Unique Spiritual Lyrics And Beats
Submitted on: 2009-01-28 |

This is one of those very rare albums of all time.Because it doesnt focus on cussing.
It just goes to show how multi-talented,multi-faceted that Killah Priest is!
In this particular album he dont cuss to get his point across. In truth we need more albums out there like this.
In fact its almost "nearly invisible" except for in very small parts.The only parts which holds cussing is in very brief moments in Tracks No.3-"A Crying Heart," And, No.12-"Jeshurun." If you could even call those brief moments actual cuss words at all!
And even if so! Its the same single brief word used within both tracks. Then you dont hear any other reference of such words at all!
I admire when an Emcee doesnt've to go there.And not only does this album stick out in that positive area.But it also equally sticks out in the area of delivering straight pure spiritual knowledge.
This is one out of the many other things in which i admire about Killah Priest's talents. He proved in this "Particular one" that he doesnt've to use those type of verbal expressions in order to get his point across.
He is very talented enough to get his message across without resulting to those extremes.
Some people say this album isnt as good as his album "The Offering." But in truth,that view varies from individual to individual. I like them both! He always delivers knowledge in all of his albums.
The reality is this: When a reviewer is judging on laid back deeply spiritual content from track to track. Then such a person is going to say "Behind the Stained Glass. But if a person is going and looking for certain beats mixed with street issues,along with a certain degree of knowledge within certain tracks.Then such reviewers like that would pick "The Offering."
The bottom line is this:It always depends on what a person identifies with in the long run.
It's about what is truly lurking within their own state of being.
However for me, I pick "Behind the Stained Glass" As the better of the two when judging from a deeply spiritual context.
I like his dominant classic "Heavy Mental." And his "Behind the Stained Glass." These are the 2 i like the most so far!
I say so far! Because, he'll always keep coming out with freshly new and knowledgable albums. He's that Good!
When i pick albums I look for deeply spiritual content "without" alot of cursing and cussing.Of course thats very hard to find for the most part anymore.But he proved that it can be found.
However dont get me twisted with your interpretations. Because i've a great respect for, "The Offering"- As well! Because he always spits jewels of knowledge and wisdom in all of his albums.
In one of the tracks on this album he even can easily show you that he can come with that "Tupac vibe".
It doesnt surprise me though.Because Killah Priest is multi-talented,multi-faceted.
For "Me" he is the best Emcee out there by far!Now for someone else it would be whoever they vibe with. Again, it all depends on what a person identifies within their essence.
Peace Out!

 Another good one From Killah Priest

Killah Priest returns with his 6th solo album and just 9 months after
his classic, "The Offering". Of his 6 albums, this is the lower half in my opinion, though it still is a solid album. I'd give 1 - 5 stars, 2 get 4.5, 2 get 4 (this being one), and 1 I'd give 3.5. Like always, he has deep thought provoking lyrics and he gets his message across in a different way, one that sets him apart from many, as a lyricist in my opinion. With 16 songs on here, I'd say 6 are ok, and the other 10 are good, a few being real good. Guests are very minimal, on only 3 of the 16 songs. production is decent as well. DJ Woool does 10 songs, 4th Disciple, Kount Fif, Thoro tracks, magnetic, C Sik, and Dirty Needlez each do 1 song. A nice album to have from a great MC.

| Good album, beats 3/5, lyrics 4/5. Overall 3.5/5 - good album. Let's hope he makes up with God's Wrath or get Wu-Elements to produce. |

This album is recommended for anybody who loves truthful hip hop and spirtitual growth and elevation. Ever since B.I.B.L.E. on GZA's liquid swords album, KP has managed to amaze hip hop fans with his spiritual flows and mystical lyricism. Since then, all of KP's albums have been rock solid. With is knowledge, wisdom and versatile rhyme delivery on "Behind the Stained Glass", KP has proven once again that he belongs in Hip Hop's elite.My opinion is that this is definitely one of his best albums.
The Priest was back once again with another solid album this time around. Taking his listeners on a journey of his progress and development over the years, KP comes with one of his most thorough projects to date, marking another classic. The only thing Priest fans will be upset with is not knowing about its original release date. Rarely will you find a dominant MC able to captivate and visualize what the Priest (KP) is giving. It's like an extended version of the offering- but better. Hip Hop fans will appreciate his dexterity and spiritual views blended in with that hard core aspect of reality- Despite what the critics say. With mind boggling flows and unexpectedly surprising production, fans are able to step deep into the KP chamber and realize the inner truth of life. Still waiting on another Sunz of Man album as well.
