Dilated Peoples are back with their fourth album, 20/20.
It’s been almost two years since Evidence, Babu and Rakaa Iriscience dropped Neighborhood watch and it seems Dilated have decided after the relative disappointment of their third album to return to their signature sound that made them popular to begin with.
Dilated always had intelligent lyrics but the lyrics on songs like Firepower demonstrate that they are willing to use their songs to get important messages across to their fans.

 MP3.com: Exclusive Interview with DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples
And for us, the only way we could get out was just get out in people's faces, and we had one or two 12-inches' worth of music and two turntables and a mixer and mics, and that's how we've done it.
That was a big time in my life; I was expecting a child, we had already been doing work together as far as studio and going on the road, but Ev and Rakaa were just, basically got courted by every single label except maybe one or two.
Babu: Like 15 years ago, people didn't even know what people were trying to do yet--they were just taking stabs at technology.

 Wholesome Goodness: Dilated Peoples: 20/20   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
At first glance, the new album by the Dilated Peoples seems like another CD about smoking weed.
Upon closer examination, it is clear to see that there is much more to 20/20 than simply puffing on ganja and displaying the trio's lyrical and musical prowess: like every other Dilated Peoples album, there is a scathing social commentary underneath the gritty and bangin' beats that is waiting to be extracted.
Though not their greatest album, 20/20 is still a well-executed album, miles ahead of the good-but-unenthusiastic Kanye West production-heavy Neighborhood Watch that gave them the popularity outside the hip hop genre that they so rightly deserve.

Dilated Peoples--there could hardly be a more apt name for the long-running California rap crew who, with only three members, sound like a much larger collective as they expand a potent West Coast-heyday sound into bold new territory.
The group's talent for twisting around language is most evident on tracks like the introspective "Tryin' to Breathe," which, true to its name, practically suffocates with its tight flow of words, as the trio illustrates its route from the streets to rap success.
Dilated Peoples are clearly one of the most intelligent rap groups on the scene, and NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH displays how their smart brand of hip-hop has led to a remarkable career.

 Dilated Peoples: 20/20 - PopMatters Music Review
“Back Again” is the kind of hard-hitting Alchemist banger Dilated Peoples needed to silence the doubters, and it’s the perfect encapsulation of the best aspects of their sound.
After three albums of beat/scratch-driven laid-back rap, the Dilated Peoples formula is starting to wear just the slightest bit thin, and it’ll take more than this to get them back on track.
Tracks like the reggae-flavored “Firepower” with Capleton show that taking their sound in new directions can work for them; it would be interesting to see them expand their vision more like this in future efforts.
