| | Beans: Tomorrow Right Now: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | On "Hot Venom", Beans spits, "King Daddy, disco rad/ Totally tubular.../ Y'all need to quit like Nicorette." And with America fully thrust into popular aesthetics of the 1980s, it's debatable whether dropping the words "totally tubular" and showing an affinity for neon is nostalgic or terribly cutting edge. |
 | | The single-- and the track in which Beans states his mission of intent-- is the incredibly def "Phreek the Beat", a pared-down mash of island flavor with a true-school-styled lady singing the staccato pre-chorus. |
 | | On his solo debut, Beans twirls and stretches his language, depicting the life of a poet-rapper, heavy on non-traditional boasts and battle rhymes. |
