Am I the only person to think that Fashion – excuse me, Al Tariq – made a career misstep when he left the Beatnuts? I mean, the Beatnuts are monster large nowadays, with considerable underground rep (even though they’re last two albums have kind of blown in my opinion) and increasingly commercial play. Al Tariq? Anyone remember his solo LP? Exactly.

Maybe he’s taking a step back in the right direction by teaming up with the foul-minded Necro on this new 12″. Tarq’s still an effective MC and proves that on both sides, having mastered a firm little flow that gets m mileage. Sure, it’s not very deep – this guy’s not trying to be Mos Def or Common - but it works for what it is. The bonus is that Necro keeps the beats pretty slick on this one. “Feel This Sh*t” is a little too shrill and uptempo, but the slower “Black Nasty Muthafu**a”, with its long organ vamps, sets the done just right for Al Tariq to come in some kind of anti-Shaft. And oh yeah, Necro’s up to his old tricks by throwing in some sexual moaning on the hook and outro.
