Guilty Simpson's 'Ghettodes'
Guilty Simpson for those that don't know was an associate of J Dilla's. I believe his debut came on the fantastic Jay Dee and Madlib collaboration 'Jaylib' from there he has appeared on numerous Stones Throw records seemingly inserting himself in that collective after Dilla passed away. In terms of solo material he has one LP which features production from Black Milk, Oh No, J Dilla, Madlib, Mr. Porter, etc. 'Ode to the Ghetto' which was released in 2008 and in my mind is one of the premier examples of the Detroit sound. Many people dislike Guilty because of the supposed simplicity of his rhymes I find his flow and style more than make up for his lack of multi-syllable performances. 'Ghettodes' is a remix album of 'Ode to the Ghetto' done completely by Oh No as I believe a promotional tool for the original release of 'Ode to the Ghetto'. Some of the tracks here aren't as imaginative as their counterparts on 'Ode to the Ghetto' some of the tracks here are levels above their counterparts. In general just a cool and refreshing vision of an already cool and refreshing record. Guilty has a record with Madlib and a record with Black Milk and Sean Price both supposedly coming out within the next six months.
