A weird, dancy, DJ-centered, juxtaperrific collection is this week's most worthwhile offering. Lots of capable albums across the board, however, so plug in and follow the jump.
John Lee Hooker - Anthology 50 Years
32 lessons in blues, style and song-writing. From Hooker's '48 debut single, "Boogie Chillen," to his last boogie woogie recordings in the 1990s.
Brian McKnight - Ultimate Collection
I heard he once played Michael Jordan, during MJ's prime, in a pickup game at a lavish party for black celebrities and almost won.
Charlie Wilson - Uncle Charlie
The immortal singer of the Gap Band ("You Dropped a Bomb on Me") uses Jive's resources to unsheathe the sophistafunk.
Children of Production - Children of Production
Current and former members of Parliament Funkadelic (the most sampled ensemble, like, ever) produce a gangster rap bastard child; George Clinton guests too.
Cleveland Steamers - Treasure Chest
Actually, dudes are from Portland. If you check the hip-hop DX review of this political, humor-handed offering, the comments are mostly motherfuckers from Cleveland complaining about the group's name. Man Cleveland sucks.
Ignorant shit; ignorant Bay Area shit.
G Stack A.K.A. Purple Mane - Dr. Purp Thumb
At least the Bay Area rapper's fourth, purple-themed release of the past two years. Big Mo most be turning over in his grave. If he's dead. Is he dead?
N.A.S.A. - Spirit of Apollo
Bold, interesting super grouping of enormous names like Kanye, Scarface, Chuck D, and Ghostface; proper review forthcoming.
