| | Music Spectrum: Hip Hop/Rap: Jon Kennedy's Take My Drum to England |
 | | I mean, of course, back in daâ day, I had white-boy-accessible rap (Beastie Boys, Run-DMC), but I essentially dismissed most rap and hip hop as being repetitive, derivative, and lacking the substance I thought belonged in music. |
 | | I gotta be honest, because if Iâm going to set out to write a little bit about the Hip Hop offerings of Jon Kennedy, it canât be musings about how innovative or similar it is to whatâs already been done; I donât know those things. |
 | | This album is atmospheric with a backbeat, sound art that gets a groove on, a hip hop center with a candy-coating of soul, jazz, and all things funky. |
