LA RECENSIONE

I was listening to this song and I thought that nowadays advertising has already influenced the hip-hop world, which was "pure" until not long ago... it's disturbing to discover how the label is the main bulk that the artist has to spread and make us consume... a very poor product, and I dare say of poor quality... except for a few... like Bassi, who doesn't sell out, and I hope will never sell out to those who only believe in the god of money, and cannot be called rappers, but puppets.

Those who pull themselves out of this trash should be praised, those who still believe in the underground world of true street nobility, of '96 when Bassi had been pumping beats for 8 years, only to engrave the words on them that in this song break the rhythm with a truly "darkened" flow that creates a magical atmosphere of returning to the origins, to the organic primordiality of the human race; when man was not a slave to industrialization and the commodification of art.

Our minds have been filled with information about things we only see on television, commodified and for immediate consumption. However, our ears live would not be able to accept these new products of the industry of pimps which the music industry is.

A patch... it makes me happy to hear that good hip-hop exists in Italy... or at least it used to, and that newcomers Ensi, Mondo Marcio do not sell themselves for illusory success like the life we live.

To all those who will comment: "nun ve accollate soggetti"

 "Foto Di Gruppo is an album with a sound all its own; it doesn’t wink at anything, least of all at U.S.-made rap."

 "Bassi Maestro is tireless; since 1992, he has produced 10 albums, always delivering genuine and fresh storytelling."
