We've lost another one...
The new album by the renowned Fabrizio Tarducci is quite disappointing, it fails to meet the expectations of the Italian underground rap scene. Those who know rap (myself included) will be left speechless by the superficiality of the music demonstrated by Fibra, with tracks like "COCCOLE" and "ROMPITI IL COLLO" that are nonsensical and serve as patches to cover holes.
There are two songs worth listening to that somewhat recall "MR. SIMPATIA" and they are "RAP IN GUERRA"-"IDEE STUPIDE". Rap in guerra talks a bit about everything and nothing with a style identical to the previous album. It talks about hating positive rap and then discusses rapes and dead girls. In "IDEE STUPIDE", Fibra's suicidal and pessimistic instinct emerges as he talks about his rap and his life as a loser. Overall, the album features a flat and square flow, though the BEATS BY FISH! are of course saved. A compilation to get people moving in the clubs. A typical mall-produced item, superficial, banal and ugly.
If you're looking for rappers or hip-hop groups, I recommend MELMA&MERDA, THUG TEAM, ONE MIC, GENTE GUASTA, MADBUDDY, INOKI, AND PMC.
"Fabri steps out of the typical Gangsta mold (thankfully) and wallows in malice, cynicism, and realism, as he knows how to do, with excellent metrics and some of the best lyrics around."
"A disappointing CD that leaves you speechless... a Fibra fan for three years, seems like the last sad whimper of a rapper who no longer knows what to rap about."
"If he became more serious, he could undoubtedly deliver better albums."
"The popular single 'Applausi Per Fibra' is a poorly made song, more like another genre than rap."
"'Mal Di Stomaco' is the most beautiful song the rapper has ever done."
"This is not Fibra's best work, but it is nevertheless an album worth listening to, with deep and intelligent tracks."
