the hate that hate made b w wretched lights camera revolution tommy boy production artist rating 3 5 make way for p dog the bush killer cop killer black urban guerilla cause hes back on the hip hop scene with a scorching extended remix of the hate that hate made a song thats based upon the tragic yusef hawkins killing on his debut lp the devil made me do it the songs 1 09 minute spin time was far too short on the remix p dog extends the song to 3 minutes by adding some extra verses additional percussion fat breakbeats and highlights the songs original bassline the production is crisp and im glad to see that paris is on of the increasing number of artists opting to use original music i suppose it helps that hes an accomplished musician who can play 4 different instruments lyrically paris strikes hard with uncompromising rhymes between rakim and ll he hits hard when he talk about avenging yusefs death by coming much sicker with the retribute the only drawback on this song is that theres no intro paris starts kicking flavor on the first beat so djs will want to invest in two copies and cut back and forth flip this jammie over and theres a more dance club orientated remix of wretched clocking at 120 bpms this song compromises more of the elements that have come to personify paris sound including that ever present ominous bassline in wretched paris unyieldingly addresses the issue of uncle toms ism and bubbyism within the black community he slams those whove made it and forget their blackness either by choice or by letting themselves be brainwashed finally theres a previously unreleased track entitled light camera revolution this barebones militant groove comes in at 96 bpms and seems designed to showcase paris lyrical finesse tom tom drums are used as the main back track while a houselike moody synthesizer occasionally punctuates the jam giving it an underground back in a dark alley feel overall this single is pretty decent just for the title cut alone paris a gifted lyricist who is very committed to the militant messages he espouses presently hes working on an ep and im sure hell continue to grow as an artist
