Spanning over a decade of making hip-hop music the question of whether they (aLLeYNe & tEMuS) are good would be like asking a true underground hip-hop fan if a Lamborghini is a fast car. One might assume ten years in the entertainment industry will give you automatic bragging rights. True, I suppose. But there are simply not enough words in a thesaurus to tell you how "good" they are. Besides, how does one define good? Record sales, the most album promotion posters around the city, model looks, abs, movie deals, heavy radio rotation or heavy music video rotation? Is one song good or the whole album good? If that is your “good” judging criteria...then aLLeYNe & tEMuS "suck".
If your definition of good is: how music makes you feel, how you relate, getting lost in melodic layers of instruments, when lyrics speak to you, when you feel the bass in the core of your soul and the bass kick makes your head jerk, when an album stirs up all kinds of emotion...then aLLeYNe & tEMuS are "good".
We should ask ourselves not whether a Lamborghini is fast but what makes it fast.
Well, with over a 10 year period there's been quite a few upgrades. Beats hug the pavement, basslines are felt from the core outwards, instrumentation is on some high octane, hooks are fused with nitro and the lyrics are fuel efficient and good for the environment. There is no built in DVD player but the interior is jazzy with a world GPS and the sound system is loud enough to level a few city blocks.
