Album Description

Four-time Grammy nominee Ali Shaheed Muhammad releases one of the most refreshing and daring hip-hop/R&B records in recent memory, the gripping Shaheedullah and Stereotypes. Ali Shaheed is a founding member of the most influential hip-hop act of the 90's, A Tribe Called Quest. Known for their groundbreaking jazz-rap revolution and progressive views, the band made history with classic albums such as The Low End Theory, and Midnight Marauders. After A Tribe Called Quest disbanded in '88, Ali quickly reinvented himself as one of the founding members of Lucy Pearl with Raphael Saadiq and ex-En Vogue member Dawn Robinson. On Shaheedullah and Stereotypes, Ali has shied away from the use of samples and has implemented the use of self-performed live instrumentation by way of guitar, bass, and wood-shedding on the keyboard - most evident on the single "Elevated Orange" and "Lord Can I Have This Mercy".

Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Shaheedullah and Stereotypes.......2007-01-12

Ali Shaheed Muhammad's debut solo album was "Shaheedullah and Stereotypes" (2004). I have always been impressed with the outstanding production Brooklyn Producer/DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad made for A Tribe Called Quest's albums. Ali enlists some help from Chip-Fu, Stokley Williams, Kay Jay, Sy Smith & Wallace Grace on this seventeen track release. Ali's production on this release is good, as the album is full of memorable beats, from start to finish. After the intro, Ali Shaheed Muhammad teams up with Chip-Fu for "Lord Can I Have This Mercy" - and the two talk to the new generation backed by an outstanding chorus. Ali's lyrics on "Industry/Life" are on point, Ali kicks knowledge about violence, materialism, and life. Ali lets his production speak for itself on "All Right" (Aight)/Stay Interlude, a positive track. Singer Stokley Williams (lead singer of Mint Condition) makes the first of two appearances on "Put Me On" a track dedicated to a special day. Female Singer Sy Smith is featured on "Honey Child" a decent track which I expected to grow into something more. It's easy to relate with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Kay Jay as they provide a tribute to "Family" - an heartfelt dedication to loved ones. Sy Smith returns for the ballad "(They Can't) Define Our Love". The album's first single has Stokley Williams and Ali rhyming over some harder sounding production on "Banga" - Ali seems a bit out of his element on this track and I wonder why this was made a single as it does not reflect the album. Ali experiments with the beats on "Matches - Don't Play!!! & "All Night". The later track is a feel good jam for the late night which features singer Wallace Grace. Production wise this release is tight. Ali is not the most gifted MC, but he's a grounded individual who know's what is important in life. The messages in his music are positive and worthwhile. "Shaheedullah and Stereotypes" is a relatively unknown release worth checking out. 3.5.

Thank You For The "Something New" Stew!!!.......2004-11-02

I thought this CD was definitely different from what's out now...and that's a GOOD thing!! For those who are concerned whether it's more A Tribe Called Quest or Lucy Pearl...I would lean towards Lucy Pearl in terms of experimentating...and it's good to see someone do something original and something that WORKS!! Even Kanye West is biting off of his OWN stuff ("Get By, "I Try", That John Legend song....aint that all the same tune??)

I think Ali Shaheed Muhammed did a great job at letting folks know that there is more out there than just old school samples these rappers can buy, rhyme over and call a hit...he's got original music that makes ya move your feet and nod to the beat... I listened to the "Shahedullah and Stereotypes" snippets above before I bought the CD and I'm glad I did cuz the CD is worth the money!!

I'm SO tired of all the artificial/process cheesy music out there...

Thanks for your home-cooked gumbo Ali...hopefully others who are really TALENTED will follow your path!!!

Ali Shaheed has gone out like Eric B........2004-10-31

Honestly, I can't give this album a good rating. I'm a huge A Tribe Called Quest enthusiast, but this album isn't worth your hard earned money. In fact I like tons of albums that get mad hated on, but this one just doesn't cut it at all. I like some of the beats and instrumental music on this album (but not all of it). However almost all of the tracks are ruined by some very wack vocals. There are 2 or so MCs that put in ok performances, nothing remarkable at all, but there are also some of the cheesiest R&B singers I have ever heard featured through-out this album. Lets not even mention that Ali pulled an Eric B. and thought he could actually rock the mic. Not surpisingly he can't, and his wack vocals and weak lyrics ruins all of the tracks he appears on. Even his spoken word segments come off as incredibly hokey and forced. I wish this album was instrumental, maybe I would give it a better rating. Take my advice and go pick up the new De La Soul album or something else instead.

(Ali) Shaheed breaks us off a lil somethin' INDEED!.......2004-10-14

October was a refreshing month for Hip-Hop releases...so far we got Talib Kweli, Mos Def and now Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest and Lucy Pearl fame) whose "Shaheedullah and Stereotypes" CD was released under the radar. It should be considered an energizing and at times politically conscious contribution to music in general. And this is what Ali offers us--with open arms--MUSIC. It's been a while since that gift has been presented without the bells, whistles and misguided allusion of a Trojan Horse.

Though Ali comes to us as a world renown DJ, he isn't just the "beat guy" for this CD. From the first track ("Social Reform") we understand who this album belongs to and at the same time we see Ali generously and brilliantly expose talented individuals from his fold. Their contributions to the CD help polish the goldmine he has unearthed for us.

Ali easily takes the forefront as a lyricist and singer(who KNEW?!?!)--two skills he obviously had up his sleeve for a long time and wasn't revealing until the time was right...and for real y'all...the time is NOW.

The stellar group of lyricists on his team include...Kay Jay from Houston, TX. ("Tight", "Family"). Kay's fresh style flows naturally off the tongue and easily to the ear. Sy Smith is a songstress whose sweet flavor in your ear gracefully plies and pirouettes on three tracks ("Honey Child", "<They Can't> Define Our Love", "Part of the Night"). Stokely Williams from Mint Condition (SWOON!!) is rediscovered--and singing like he ain't been no where but here--does his thing on two tracks ("Banga" and "Put Me On"). A brotha with a beautiful voice named Wallace Gary adds to the variety of this CD by blessing us with a trippy house track("All Night"). And last but CERTAINLY not least...Chip-fu formerly of the FuSchnickens (where the heck THAT cat been?!? Hip-Hop has missed him TERRIBLY!) breathed a huge lung of fresh air all over track two of the CD ("Lord, Can I Have This Mercy"). Before Chip-fu even lets us know he flips his lyrics like a sick gymnast, we can invision him rubbin' chalk on his hands and runnin' at top speed for the uneven bars.

I know I said a lot...but what puts this CD over the top for me is everyone sounds like they are having a fan-tabulous time with their contributions. And as I read the notes on the CD itself, plenty of live instruments were used. It looks like this CD is virtually SAMPLE-FREE--who in the game can claim THAT fame?

Everyone's input on the CD feels like they've all craved real Hip-Hop and real music (like I have) for a very long time. So if you feel the same way, you need to pick this one up--and QUICK!

Peace!

Product Description

This enterprising San Diego quintet delivers the goods with their debut album, aptly titled "1". Garage rock fans will fall all over themselves, from the opening staccato chords and hand claps of the incessantly catchy "The Night Before", but there is much more than meets the eye here. Check out the classic 80's big guitar sound that envelopes, "Women In Magazines", as melodic a song as you're gonna hear. You'd swear it's a lost hit. And that's the key- great songs you want to hear over and over. But there's more. There's beats mixed with acoustic guitars, drenched over distorted vocals and what sounds like a mellotron, as well as slightly Eastern European folk phrasing on "Sleepover", and then there's moody Velvet's-ish introspection on the sparse, yet compelling "Saturdays". On an album dripping with potential hits, top tracks seem to be the minor chord gem "I Know Now" and especially the driving "Come To Say Hello", but all the tracks here are should be radio perrenials. It's a sterling debut album, an embarrassment of riches. --Alan Fleagle London, England

Stereotypes' 2 flashback to 60's and forward.......2005-05-09

The sound of the Stereotypes' latest album 2 succeeds in running the gamut of a 30-year spawn of rock `n' roll. This album recreates to perfection a mix of mid 60's rock, which includes a noticeable influence from the Byrds, a healthy dose of the Beatle's "Rubber Soul" and a bit of the latter's "Revolver." The harder edge of the Stereotypes' music gives nod to Tom Petty's 80's angst rock and the 90's punk rock energy of Social Distortion.
"2" kicks off with "New Situation," with its power chord crunching riffs that will make people break out their air guitar and wind mill the chords as you wail the chorus, "I need a new situation!"
The album's second track, "Stars," starts with a fuzz guitar that echoes the Beatles' "Think for Yourself," but then takes on a Byrds influence with harmonic vocals and the jangling tone of the 12 string Rickenbacker gallops throughout the song.
The Byrds musical influence is especially heard on the recurring chorus of "and I told you so" in the song "Outside" where the singer tries to convince his lover to go outside "to get a breath of fresh air" so he can give her a kiss "underneath the night-time sky."
Not only do the Stereotypes get the music right, but they also get young peoples' issues right. In "Try me" the singer is trying to win someone's love and tries to justify love by interpreting incidental actions "we made eyes in art class" and expressing his need for security "give me something I can hold on to"
Yet another Beatle influence is evident in "Try me." If you listen closely you can hear a guitar solo played backward, which was innovated by the Beatles in the John Lennon penned songs like "Rain" and "I'm Only Sleeping."
The theme of an indecisive future that's weighed down by complacent stagnation is addressed in the track "Unsure" that reflects the singer's current trajectory in life:

Someday, I'll get down from this fence
and someday things will make more sense
but for now I'm unsure, a little blue and a little grey
but I like it this way

Not only will the Stereotypes' music satisfy the musical palate of the rock `n' roll connoisseur, but delight the lyrical appetite that we all yearn for in today's raucous void that is evident in today's commercial music.

Rock & Roll.......2005-01-14

This is a great ep, i had read reviews on these guys and I am really happy I bought this album, I hope to hear more stuff soon.

Freakin' awesome.......2004-10-30

This album rocks from the first track to the "comes waay too soon" last track, this cd is a treat for anybody who loves music, listening to the Stereotypes on record is almost as good as it is experiencing their live show, watching these guys play together is awe-inspiring, the love and energy is felt throughout the crowd. This is a band to watch out for, they wont be San Diego's best kept secret for much longer!

an audio tour-de-force..........2006-03-27

this is, in so many words, a masterpiece of musicianship...

gooding's propensity for creating so many moods at once is unequaled...

this is, at once, an instrumental blitzkrieg, overpowering then destroying your belief that one person could create this; and then, you succumb to his endless power of music and let him take you wherever he wants to take you...

new age without all the 'quasi religious' trappings... guitar god without all the testorone... technical precision without all the eddie van halen wankinesss...

it is a soundtrack for your life, and also a soundtrack for what you wish your life could be...

you will not want this to end..,

and, when it does, i guarantee, you will be hitting play again...

over, over, and over again..

the master of music.......2001-02-20

It is difficult to place into simple words the amazing talent contained in this one human being. To not listen to this disc or any of the music he's released is to shortchange your ears!!! The dramatic blend of high octave piano with rich guitar along with his master for producing and engineering, fuses together a rich and profoundly unique sound. Not only is this CD amazing, all of them are! I've seen this phenomenol artist perform and his humble and genuine gift shines when he is on stage. Don't miss out on the chance to discover this music for yourself whether live or in your stereo--it's a must have!

master musician.......2000-07-31

Gooding is a phenomenal artist, who is the writer, arranger, performer, and engineer on each of his releases. At least the two I personally own. I discovered his CD, which can be difficult to locate, in a coffee house during my travels in Kansas. I noticed on the jacket a young charismatic guitarist an ask the manager, who was more than willing to accommodate, for a sample. He obliged an advised that Gooding had performed at his place two weeks ago. His favorite was Winters Return and thirty seconds into track 1 I purchased both the Gooding disk he had available. The music for me is powerful and thought provoking, contemporry and yet classic. The arrangements of instruments and rhythm are Goodings strenghts. Piano and heavy bassline goove with spanish/classical style guitar, sometimes electric. Each song develops with drama and intensity with a break for reflection. Always progressive with powerful mid tempo percussion, never excessive. The guitar craftsmanship is superb, never excessive or irratating either. The occassional piano adds a beautiful and enchanting dimension to a very progressive work. I listen as I write,.....this album definitely tailors to the adult genre when compared to other works by Gooding. I guess I'm borderlone at thirty. Go for it, you won't regret it, I promise.

passionate and empowering!.......1999-10-14

I have known Steve since highschool and listened to his sound change and grow....This is by far his best work ever...if you have tons of work to do and need to get it done yesterday, this is the cd to listen to. I can't explain how it transends time and takes me to another world..one where I actually meet deadlines :) And this is only a taste of the talent that lies within him. Now that he has brought the greatest drummer alive (Jesse Reichenberger)back with him. Look out! And look for his latest..."Disarray"
