The Kleptones – From Detroit To J.A.

I noticed today that The Kleptones have released an mp3 version of their broadcast on “The Rinse” entitled “From Detroit To J.A."   It’s not as good as “A Night At The Hip Hopera” but it is definitely enjoyable.  It involves a lot of Motown material but unfortunately they too often took the average lyrics instead of the sensational music.

My pick of the series would have to be “Really Rappin’ Something” mostly for it’s driving baritone sax line.  I must admit though that the use of the music from “Ben” (early Michael Jackson) as the backing for “Revolverlution” was an inspired choice.  I’m not sure where the words over the top came from but they are also brilliant – “The Revolution Will Be Televised”.
