Based on a True Story - Inspirational Book for Movie Lovers & History Buffs - Perfect for Book Clubs, Gifts, and Personal Reading

Product Description

Product Description Making you stand up and take notice, 'Based on a True Story' combines many styles of American popular music from Motown soul and Pop with Southern Rock and Rap. The result... The band calls it 'Gangsta Gospel', -other's call immature. Either way, no one accuses it of lacking attitude! REVIEWS: Just buy the CD... '...do precisely what I say!' I may never have heard of a 'WildOscar', 'J-Berg', 'Jehobah and Josemite' or 'Gangsta Gospel' had it not been for an errant search on Napster for NO DOUBT with only the initials 'ND' yielding this nugget! Due to the title, the first cut I clicked was 'In Da Hood Feeling Goood' where I heard the voice of a surfer reflecting on 'pimpin the hoes and dealin cocaine.' I was hooked. I can't find a bad cut on the album. I've shared this gem with a few close friends and emailed 'All I Ask' to a few former girlfriends. My tastes are seldom held in high regard by a mass audience, so I am not surprised it isn't even available on Amazon.com. Det är lika långt till skvalradion som till månen på WildOscars CD och man bland Reviewer: Bitte Assarmo (click for website) Av Bitte Assarmo - 29 feb ´04 Varningen måste utfärdas med detsamma: Det här är inte en skiva för den som vill ha enkel, lättsam poprock, långt därifrån. Det är lika långt till skvalradion som till månen på WildOscars CD N D Kraazy F S och man blandar friskt och fräckt olika genrer. Det är roligt och uppiggande och dessutom musikaliskt begåvat. Skivan inleds med suveräna Alaska to Wichita, inspelad live i Philadelphia, som är en medryckande rocklåt av klassiskt snitt och en av de bästa på skivan. Att WildOscar behärskar rockgenren med råge är därmed konstaterat. Men den som trodde att bandet nöjer sig med en enda stil trodde fel - här finns influenser från allt ifrån soul till sydstatsrock och rap. Ditch Da Bitch är en renodlad hip-hoplåt och i In Da Hood Feeling Good är det rythm 'n blues som dominerar. Tadadoda, inspelad i Nashville, är en ruggigt bra låt som ger en countryälskare som jag själv gåshud på armarna. Men den här plattan bjuder på många fler bra låtar, och framför allt bjuder den på en rejäl portion självdistans och attityd. Det här är med andra ord en ovanligt fräsch och intressant platta! Groovy... About the Artist A Short Background - Straight outta J-Berg (Jakobsberg) . entering their teenage years, WildOscar and his gang had already established the infamous and profitable crime syndicate known as WildOscar N D Kraazy F'S. ZEE, -growing up togatha in the projects, the only respectable career available for these young men livin' in J-Berg was to become a pimp or/and a drug dealer. This was the path that the boys were traveling on when Rev. Jehobah and Josemite Brown of the "HELP the HOMIES Foundation" persuaded them to become the back-up band of their Gospel choir JC in J-Berg. ".they basically took us off the streets a few hours every week, a well needed break for a hardworking gangsta and a chance to meet hoes in a more relaxed environment", says WildOscar. The homies honed their musical talents while jamming with the choir and started experimenting with what they came to call Gangsta Gospel after choir rehearsals. They incorporated the HEAVIER attitude of Rap and Hip-Hop with the Soul/Gospel groove, that Jebba had taught them. "MAN! -that Negro really meant a lot to us! He even made our GANG name our BAND name", says Kalle. "... 'KAUSE ZEE, all along I knew that the "F" in WildOscar N D Kraazy F'S really stood for "FUNKAZ' and not "FUCKAZ'! I just had to teach them BAD-AZZ-NIGGA-HOMIES! And now, instead of with Drive-By Shootings, they can also ventilate their suppressed Hood Aggressions through their new style of music", says Reverend Brown.
