Non Prophets - Hope Vinyl LP - Sage Francis Joe Beat - Sealed
Classic Hip Hop LP from 2003 on LEX records. Beautiful embossed artwork, still sealed. Outer sticker may show signs of discolouration.
Hope shows a new Francis altogether, employing bouncy cadences, explosive deliveries and complex rhyme schemes. The vast majority of the album references older hip-hop, including that of OC, Black Sheep, Beastie Boys, Audio Two, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, among others. He even drops his own crit with lines like "faker than Raekwon's stutter" and "Das EFX rocked that band-aid ten years before Nelly did!" His writing focuses on lighter subjects here, from his disdain for rambunctious children ("Disasters") to his views on commercial music ("Mainstream 307") to his eccentric nature regarding different facets of existence ("Spaceman"), which all makes for a solid record that, in terms of both diversity and delivery, puts Personal Journals to shame.
