Most freebees usually end up acquainting themselves with a trash can after one listen. But, damn. Not only is Blueprint’s Blueprint vs. Funkadelic a keeper, the album is a top-notch piece of work guaranteed to provide listeners with more than just a few spins. I have already played it through a number of times (it’s a short listen) and, truthfully, this may be my favorite work of the year. The lyrics from Blueprint are some of the nicest I have ever heard from him and, oh…did I mention dude also produces the entire project? Well, he does, and in doing so he uses only the freshest of P-Funk samples.

In my mind, there is nothing better than hip-hop that is not reliant on contributors. When an artist can write dope lyrics and make equally as dope beats, there really is no significance in featuring any outside emcees and/or producers. The entire album is handled by Blueprint and, honestly, it should not be any other way. Blueprint spits on “Too Funkadelic”: “Every time I drop the rhymes are twice as raw, beats twice as dirty as the time before.” Let us know what you think. Why the hell shouldn’t you? It’s free.
