Tonedeff - Archetype
Thursday - March 31, 2005
J-23

Few crews can boast the talent that lies within the QN5 family (Cunninlynguists, Pack FM, Substantial, Session, Jugga The Bully, etc.), and at the top of heap is Tonedeff. With 2 EP’s and an LP of his singles to his name, Tone has been killing his fans with his oft-delayed debut “Archtype.” Aside from Andre and Luda, no one can touch Tonedeff when it comes to double time rhymes where you can make out every syllable. It’s a good thing too, cause his rhyme scheme (multi’s everywhere), and content are just tremendous.

While many try it, few can succeed at it. What I am referring to is flipping between bravado and vulnerability, love and misogyny, etc. Tonedeff can do it with the best of them as he has no trouble with his credibility going from the hilarious “Disappointed” to a tale of heart-break in “Porcelain.” Similarly he goes from some light-speed shit talking on “Heavyweights” to thought-provoking message to the kiddies with “Children.”

“Archetype” has its fair share of bangers but it is ‘Deff as an emcee that makes this album so good. Be it lamented on the pain that hip-hop has caused him (“Masochist”), or airing his beefs out with the industry (“Politics”), he gets his point across creatively and with tremendous style. Just check the title track; “the power to listen and learn keeps me adaptive/a Tribe fan that appreciated the classics/but damn if I’m trapped in the past/I act to surpass what they crafted/and still manage to travel the paths and the maps that they drafted.” Of course Tonedeff also happens to be one of the finer punch-rhymers around and he is joined by Wordsworth, Rise, Pack FM, Substantial, Supastition and Session for some “Quotables.” It doesn’t get much better than “I can see your girls got a lazy eye cause she’s seein’ me on the side” or “you have so many guest appearances you made a cameo on your own album.” Or you can just ignore the rhymes and listen to him flow like H20 on “Case Closed” or “Pervert.”

“Archetype” is not without some missteps though, I’d say the sequencing is about the biggest fault (such as starting out with “Archetype”). Plus he’s included some old material that is bound to disappoint long-time fans who’ve heard it, and of course the failed singing experiment in “Gathered.” Nevertheless, “Archetype” is yet another great, accessibly indy album that should be selling millions instead of most of the shit that’s charting. Tonedeff is among the finest this genre has to offer, people need to recognize.
8/10

ne 1 bought this?

 

[Pacaveli-T]

i pretty much downloaded the whold album basically i like it give it 7/10

 

[one mc on dj]

When I downloaded it I gave it a 7/10 too..But when I bought or i should say got it delivered at home I watched the dvd and I started to like it a lot more cuz he explains certain things. Like the 1st real track.. Archetype my first reaction was wtf? I didn't really like it till I watched the dvd and I found out how he sampled everything..that made me understand it a lot more..You must see the dvd but I wouldn't buy it only 4 the dvd..tho I think this album will enjoy appreciate it a lot more if you have seen the dvd...

I do agree when ppl say an album should not need a dvd..but im guessin this one does need it cuz I think you are missing out on something if you only download the album...plus he didnt put the dvd with the album for no reason....

I think this album is worth buying..

 

[S O F I]

I don't like the album.
