[.ca] Next Millennium

From Amazon.com:
Reggae's staunch ghetto realist works the border turf between Jamaica dance hall and New York City street rap, strengthening stateside alliances he forged in his 1996 My Xperience crossover CD. Riding hard on booming hip-hop tracks without compromising his reggae bellow or Jamaican identity, Bounty points the way to the stateside market only a few of his peers have reached. Although the lion's share of this set is bona fide reggae jams--with the best produced by Dave Kelly and Anthony Red Rose--it's the hip-hop flows that register. Proving that the link between dance hall and hip-hop is not through pop or R & B are the title track, with Noreaga; "It's a Party," featuring Cocoa Brovaz, Nona Hendryx, and Free and coproduced by Wyclef Jean; and "Deadly Zone," featuring Mobb Deep and Rappin' Noyd. You gotta come true to yourself and hardcore. --Elena Oumano

This CD is great for all true reggae/dancehall fans.:
Bounty Killer has done it again. Mr. Killer has once again proven why he is one of Jamaica's hottest DJ's. This album has it all. The album has some great beats to some even better lyrics. This is an album for real reggae/dancehall fans. Respect to Bounty Killer.

NO ONE CAN TOUCH THE KILLER:
Bounty Killer has done it again with his tight beasand his ability to deliver lyrics. He's combined hip hop and reggae into one project which can compare to no other artists I've heard. The reason why I gave this album 4 stars because it was a bit brief, and because I didn't get to hear him by himself as much. Other than that, this album I would consider a hit and every reggae or hip hop fan should have a copy in their home.

It's simply wiiiiiiiiicked and confirms The Killa's status:
AS the best at this time fi real.One love.I love it to the max.

Disgusted by this homophobia:
Upholding the right to free speech does not extend to promoting the abuse of gay people. The overtly aggressive nature of the homophobia in the lyrics of this artist are tantamout to the advocation of violence against gay people and should not be encouraged. If similar action were taken towards black people they would be withdrawn immediately. (...)

Bounty's crossover mistake:
"Caan Believe Mi Eyes" and "Eagle and the Hawk" are big tunes, but this is Bounty's weakest release. He banked on the hip hop collaboration strategy with this album and it flopped. A poor seller which he followed up less than a year later with 5th Element, which features much bigger tunes in "Look" and "Anytime", and, tellingly, no hip hop guest artists. The Poor People's Governor is best when he sticks to what he knows and that's strictly dancehall tracks. The collaboration effort of this album was a nice idea but it didn't work. That's why many Bounty fans rate this as his worst album. First buy Roots, Reality and Culture, then My Xperience, then 5th Element, but steer clear of this one.
