School For The Blindman

I first heard Bronze Nazareth years ago. The song "Good Morning" ( a nice hell) from the album The Great Migration blew me away, and i still feel to this day, that song is lyrically, his most powerful and emotional work ever. But let me get to the point. When i first heard Bronze... i understood this cat was a poet, and that he had a sincere dedication and love for Hip-Hop. So after hearing scattered songs here and there after i purchased his first album, I stumbled across "Worship" on YouTube, a song off of his newest joint, "School for the Blindman", and once again i was revitalized....my Hip-Hop nutrients had, for many years been depleted.So, i ordered this album from Amazon.Like his first album, this is a CLASSIC, front to back, no questions or doubts, THAT is a TRUTH. His lyrical content and flow as usual, comes from the heart and is void of modern day rap buffoonery and plastic bi products. The music is almost like a film soundtrack, taking you through various emotions, sadness, pain, anger, love...its inspiring, "Gomorrah", "The Letter" and "The Road" are examples of that kind of atmosphere. Bronze's tracks aren't just soulful music samples, because many artists nowadays sample soul, BUT bronzes music is a soul-sound from detroit, that reminds us of early Motown, at the path to its Apex of greatness before it became totally popular, although it was incredible at its pop level too. This is definitely the musical essence of urban hell in America, but it is also clearly Detroit's take on struggle. This album is flooded with joints. "Worship", one of my favorites actually filled me with such a rush, i was near moved to tears from the horns and strings...So many powerful tracks, and poetical verses, that this album doesn't let up. Some Wu members join Bronze on some songs, but he outshines them all in my opinion. Listening to Bronze rhyme is liking watching a powerful movie 100 times, you always find something new that you hadn't noticed before. You definitely have to listen to him several times, he is not an MC that you quickly forget.I am 42 year old and don't listen to this era of hip-hop, or rap, or whatever it is called nowadays. But every once in a few years something comes along that keeps me going. When i do my exercises, and run my 25 plus miles a week, Bronze's music always plays in my IPOD, stirring many emotions in me. Now i have another album to feed my spiritual soul and my physical power... no wonder I'm in such good shape.All things are born and live, and eventually return to the essence and then rest, I am saying that all things return to its foundation. Bronze Nazareth brings us home to the true essence of Hip-Hop, and reminds us that it was love and pain and our expression of those things that birthed such a beautiful art form...which was always here from the beginning. If I'm getting to deep, go cop "School for the Blindman" and you will be able to understand how this album makes me feel.PeaceThank you Bronze Nazareth

When I first heard Bronze Nazareth it was on the track 'Street Corners' with Soloman Childs on the first 'Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture' album. In 2006 Think Differently Music released Bronze Nazareth 'The Great Migration'(see my review)which is a great disc showing his talents, yet the album lacked good production. On his new album, 'School For The Blindman' you wont have to worry about bad production. Each track is very well produced, mostly by Bronze himself and the album flows nicely through its entirety. This really isn't a track skipper album. Bronze, a native of Detroit(I'm from Ann Arbor and no ones heard of him)has worked himself as a underground Hip-Hop threat and I think it's great that the RZA discovered him. And with 'School For The Blindman', Bronze has secured a place in the Wu Fam. Although IMO there isn't a single standout track or classic banger, this album still holds it's own and this album may be one of the best of the year out of the Wu camp.Bronze also appeared on the track '225 Rounds' ft U-God, Cappadonna & RZA on the 2011 compilation album 'Legendary Weapons'.(see my review) A great track.KEY TRACKS- Reggie ft Rain The Quiet Storm- Gomorrah ft Killah Priest- Fresh From The Morgue ft RZA- The Bronzeman 2 ft Cannibus & Raekwon- The Road ft Masta Killa & Inspectah Deck- Pictures(stem cells)- Cold Summer ft Salute Da Kidd & June Megalodon- Worship ft Salute Da Kidd, Phillie & Kevlaar 7- Records We Used To PlayENJOY!CHECK OUT MY OTHER HIP-HOP REVIEWS

bronze is here to let you know that wu tang aint goin nowhere. for die hard hip hop fans go pick this up or download it it is fully worth it.

I'm going to be short and concise in my review. If you like real Hip-Hop withgritty soul samples, lyrics and you like Wu-Tang, then this is a must have!!!

With banging production reminiscent of a 1999 RZA, Bronze Nazereth beats up tracks with hard lyrics and support from the WU. Album is straight out of the golden era of WU and its a must have for any die hard fan.

Amazing album! Bronze Nazareth is one of those artists that consistently blows me away. I mean this dude is handling almost all of the production on this album, and rhyming over all of it at the same time. He manages to create soundscapes and rhymes that are unique in and of themselves without leaving anything to be desired in either department. Bronze Nazareth is one of the most talented musicians to hit the scene in a while, this album has as much soul as anything to ever come out of Detroit. DON'T SLEEP!!! Highlights of this album for me are "reggie" "pictures" and "records we used to play"... GET THIS!!!
