A scaled-down and overlooked gem from 2007.

  • We Say...

    The sudden provincialism of New York hip-hop makes scaled-down glories like Sean Price's second album possible. Price, who first emerged in the mid-1990s as one-half of Boot Camp Clik possession guys Heltah Skeltah, raps for no reason other than habit, bullying and joking his way through soaring, wintry, yesteryear beats. "I ain't had a hit since '96," he confesses on "Mess You Made," as one of his old anthems wafts from the radio. By the end of Jesus Price Superstar's lean, frills-free forty-five minutes, Price's lament that "this rap sh-t don't pay enough" proves meaningless. Price's daily operation isn't about large dollars: it's about getting by and admiring his own absurdly outsized brags, figuring out how many P-words you can fit into three minutes ("P Body"), recalling old glories ("Da God" featuring Sadat X and Buckshot) and riffing off that Spirit of Truth guy. He's just glad to be back.
