Album Review

After reaching the charts and critics lists all during the early '90s as solo artists (and groups), then spending the rest of the decade building an organization with staying power, the eight-man-strong collective making up Hieroglyphics — hip-hop heroes Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Souls of Mischief, and Damian "Domino" Siguenza — returned in 2003 with the best record of their career. Full Circle is their second album as Hieroglyphics, after a freewheeling 1998 debut that saw the group delivering on all the promise of early-'90s classics like Del's I Wish My Brother George Was Here and Souls of Mischief's '93 'Til Infinity. Anyone with even a grounding in West Coast rap knows that together they're as great a team of rappers as Freestyle Fellowship or Jurassic 5, supremely able to flow with different styles and avoid the rough edges. What impresses about Full Circle is the breadth of productions and material; Hieroglyphics excel whether they're floating an in-the-groove sample-driven joint ("Classic"), a schizoid, surreal psychedelic rap ("Heatish"), or even the organic R&B jam ("Make Your Move"), often with Detroit keyboard wonder Amp Fiddler and bassist Merlo Podlewski.

Customer Reviews

The Way Rap Should Be

In a world where rap is becoming less about the vocal performance and more about increased production values, it's really exciting to hear an album that consists of superb vocal skills. The style and flow of this album is amazing and is reccommended for any true fans of high quality rap.

5 all the way

this is amazing. great ski music to get your head bobbing and your jib on. classic is way cool, so is fantasy island, make your move, and even the prelude is sweet. they are all sweet. the one fall down track i think is maggie may. it is still a great song, but the chorus just doesnt sound right. and when put up against the other songs in the album, it pales. great album!!!!

AMAZING!

Hieroglyphics are hand down one of the best hip-hop groups ever concieved. I havent heard a good rap group sinse wu-tang and jurassic 5. The song make your move is completely spiritual and amazzziiinnnn'! I hope they make more songs like that. till then keep blazin yall! Peac.

The Oakland-based Hieroglyphics are an underground rap collective who, at their best, combine an offbeat sensibility with a strong grounding in battle rhyming, freestyling, and other hip-hop traditions.

Most of the members had known each other...
