5.0 out of 5 stars How can you only give this a 2, 6 Jun 2006
I never usually write reviews on Amazon but the previous reviewer got it so wrong I had to fight Jaylib's corner!!

Champion Sound is beyond awesome, catchy reggae inspired beats, amazing samples and by 2 of the gratest hip hop producers known to man.

The late J Dilla (you are already missed) produced (please note previous reviewer) such greats as Beats, Rhymes & Life by Tribe called Quest, Common's Like Water for Chocolate, most of the Pharcyde's Labcabincalifornia, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, to name but a few - the list goes on and on.

This is the kinda of album that is ace first time round but gets better and better.

For this album Dilla and Madlib would each construct a beat and send it to the other via Fed Ex to provide a rhyme, this is raw hip hop at its best!! DO BUY THIS ALBUM!!

4.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, 9 Oct 2003
This review is from: Champion Sound (Audio CD)
Wow! After hearing"The Red" on a mixtape, I was dying for this album to drop, and I can say, it doesn't dissapoint! Dilla and Madlib's production contrasts well with each other, as they both take it in turns in producing, or rhyming over the track. Standout tracks incluce "The Red" (Worth buying for this track alone! The bass is amazing!) "Raw Shit" (Talib Kweli rhyming over rugged madlib production) and "Nowadayz"

My only criticisms would be that sometimes Madlib's production is a little lost and stream-of-concious-like, but I suppose this is just his style!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but close!, 12 Aug 2006
By Dj Linx (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
To appreciate this album, it helps if you can ignore the prevalent superficial nonsense masquerading as an innovative and creative artform.
Champion Sounds sees the comming together (musically) of two of Hip-Hop's prolific, but yet overlooked and outrageously talented producers.
The songs are arranged so that each producers track is followed by the other's, exposing the listener to Mad & Dilla's musical similarities as well as their differences.
They both rap over each others beats, along with rappers most closely associated with them like; Frank N' Dank and Quasimoto. Talib Kweli and Percee P also feature and as you would expect, they give solid performances adding to the albums musical integrity.
This album dares to go where others simply refuse to, using samples a-plenty and maintaining that historic continuation of the funky essence and legacy that Hip-Hop of the late 80's to mid 90's left behind.
Champion Sound will continue to impress upon it's present and new-found fans, and will undoubtably become a must have in the collections of the discerning Hip-Hop fan.
