UncutHis idiosyncratic rhyming style can grate without the leavening presence of other rappers. [Apr 2003, p.116]
-
Though he's never as instantaneously gratifying as the Streets, the Roots or Jurassic 5, his efforts to continually defy convention in both production and lyrics - simultaneously looking forward to electronics and back to days of good rhymes, talent and passion - make for a rewarding, maybe even educational, listen.
-
The New Wave sensibilities and unorthodox flows become predictable, and the absence of APC's Priest and Saayid is felt by the end of Tomorrow.
-
Beans twirls and stretches his language, depicting the life of a poet-rapper, heavy on non-traditional boasts and battle rhymes. But he lacks the gulping, deep tone of former APC cohorts Priest and Sayyid, which means the beats usually usurp his rhymes.
-
UrbIn spite of some awkward moments, though, Tomorrow Right Now is a dynamic endeavor from a compelling artist. [Mar 2003, p.93]
-
Beans drops deft poetry with the fastest flow this side of Bizzy Bone.
-
SpinTonally challenged singing, spastic electro beats, and boldly nonlinear, ideologically sharp rhyming. [May 2003, p.116]
-
He spits incisive, abstract rhymes that leave you marveling--and a bit confused, at times.
-
His ability to throw words in a frenzy meets his tendency to shift styles and hop decades, adding up to intoxicating music with a distinct personality.
-
MojoSounds surprisingly traditional. [Jul 2003, p.115]
-
This is hip-hop - experimental, brave, and weird, just like it's supposed to be.
-
Blender[Beans] makes music for MCs to scratch their heads to. [#15, p.120]
-
The most obvious comparison for 'Tomorrow Right Now' is Roots Manuva's 'Run Come Save Me' and the UK's bouncement brigade. And the comparison is a favourable one all round.
-
Q MagazineFeels oddly half-baked. [Apr 2003, p.100]
