| | MobileUnderground store :: Longshot - Open Mouths Fed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | It is a refreshing return to the original sound of Hip Hop: A blend of jazz grooves with acoustic live instruments and poetic and introspective lyrics that defy the “bling-bling” themes of contemporary mainstream rap, instead reflecting the realities of a childhood spent in Chicago’s gritty innercity. |
 | | Far from a plea for pity by the unfortunate, however, LongShot embraces his duty as a role model to his listeners with soulful and positive messages that preach self-reliance, hope, and the rewards of hard work. |
 | | From organic live jazz sounds to Chicago-style uptempo, rapidfire deliveries, LongShot is never overshadowed by the many established artists that contributed to the album, and offers something for every genre of rap listener. |
