Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Black Jesus — T.G.S.N.T.


While faded in the lower left there's the Wu-Tang Clan symbol on the cover of this minor affiliate's debut album, the name of the rapper Black Jesus might say nothing to anyone. In the background planets, in the center, surrounded by a mystical blue aura, the rapper member of Harlem 6, on overlay the name and title in yellow and black, the colors of Wu. That font is illegal, somewhere. The title acronym is for The Greatest Story Never Told. There are no credits for the production, I can only assume that one or more of the Harlem 6 guys are also producers. Whoever it is, they do a job that ruins this project, there's nothing that comes close to being listenable. Harlem 6 are also the main guests of this long album, together with AGR, another member of the group, S. Infinite, Krumbsnatcha and Guru of Gang Starr. Yes, Guru is here, apparently, in a track. There are 18 more. Released by Soul Nuwaubian in 2004, the disc is re-released again two years later by Chambermusik. Not recommended, 1.5/10.
