There
was a time when Papoose looked like the heir apparent to
New York's hip-hop throne. Over the course of a dozen or so
street mixtapes, the Brooklyn-bred MC generated a huge buzz
which led to his infamous $1.5 million deal at Jive Records in
2006. His debut album, The Nacirema Dream, was supposed to
come out soon after and many hoped it would mark mainstream
rap's return to the grimy realism of New York hip-hop in the
90s. But until this year, Pap's dream was never realized.
In
March,The Nacirema Dream arrived, nearly seven years after
its original release date, and to a much different musical
landscape. Despite the evolution of the genre since Papoose's
emergence, this album sticks to the blueprint he first laid out in
2006.
The album's biggest draw is that it's street hop to its core.
Papoose built his reputation on painting vivid pictures of life in
Bed-Stuy and he doesn't stray from that formula here. Songs
like "Mother Ghetto," "Aim Shoot" and "6AM" are
riddled
with his mixtape-era gunshot sound effects and brash lyrics
depicting tales of drugs and violence.
