X & Moran Record Review
Although some people may
choose not to acknowledge
Black English as a valid form of
communication among main
stream Americans; it definitely
is one of the dialects spoken
among young African
Americans. With this in mind,
The Maroon Tiger Newspaper,
“The Organ of Student Expres
sion, ” chooses to acknowledge
Black English as a valid
language of art expression and
cultural significance. Therefore,
our staff is encouraging all
readers to read this following
article with the respect and
seriousness that it deserves, as
a correct and different form of
language.

“X & Moran Record Review”
By Christopher X (Davis),
and Yuri Moran
X on “One For All”
BY BRAND NUBIAN:
I feel that this is one of the
most positive, siammin, and IM
PORTANT record out right
now. These 4 five percent
brothaz from NYC really come
thru on diz record wit DOPE,
and INTELLIGENT lyricz,
and some DOPE beatz- which
dey did demselvez; word G
(God). Diz record iz a MUZT 4
Hip-Hopstaz 2day, an can
almozt B considered a classic. I
would say about 12 out of 16
trax on da CD iz siammin,
“Wake Up” (both), “Slow
Down,” an “Drop The Bomb”
being my favorite kutz. I think
it’z a damn shame dat da sucka-
duck-chump punx at Mtv
wouldn’t play da original video
4 “Wake Up” directed by Fab
5- which gave uz a truthful por
trayal of certain caucasoid’s
plots 2 keep da Black Nation
down, an the video gave uz a
truthful portrayal of the REAL
devil, and the REAL God, an
not some spook Gods that da an
cient Greekz 1st put forth. Thiz
juzt provz 2 uz again dat certain
caucasoidz in control of thangz
do NOT want uz 2 C or know da
TRUTH, which some of dem
know demselvez, obviously.
Moran on
“Step In The Arena” by
GANG STARR:
The 1st song I ever heard by
Gang Starr was a siammin ass
single called “Words I
Manifest”. The Guru Keithy E
dropped smooth lyrics on an
even smoother sample. So now
Gang Starr releases “Step In
The Arena”, their debut release
on Chrysylis Records. To com
pare this album to the 1st one
would be useless. On this album,
D. J. Premier put together some
of the dopest jazzy samples
ever. Their self-produced music
is a bit jazzy, but still hard
enough to pump in the jeeps. If
it wasn’t for the music on this
album, it wouldn’t be all that;
not taking anything away from
the Guru, but his style gets
monotonous and boring after a
while. The stand-out cuts on this
album are “Take a Rest,”
“Check The Technique”,
“Who’s Gonna Take The
Weight?” and “Here Today,
Gone Tomorrow.”
*“KWIK REVIEWZ”
1) ICE CUBE- “Kill At Will”
EP
X: Hard! siammin! Most of the
tyme intelligent! A MUZT!!
M: Definitely a must for Hip-
Hop enthusiasts!
2) EPMD- “Business As Usual”
X: I only liked 8 out of 15 trax.
