CD Review: Statik Selektah, Spell My Name Right (The Album)
Dec 23, 2007 10:56 PM Max Herman (Writer)
Following a successful run
in the mixtape market, DJ Statik Selektah makes the natural move into producing
with this impressive LP. No doubt, Statik recycles a number of old hip-hop
breakbeats here, but as a DJ, he's naturally going to gravitate toward the
recognizable. Such is also the case with "Punch Out!" featuring Big
Shug where he borrows the theme music from the classic NES game of the same
name for a sure-shot throwback. While short on innovative samples, Statik
Selektah succeeds by pairing respected MCs (Termanology, Kool G Rap) with
punchy production.
