    Welcome 2 Detroit

    By ntbiggrizzly  Apr 28, 2006

    Pros: Dope beats, Dope rhymes

    Cons: No cons

    I don't remember fully how I found this album but when I did and I heard it, I was like damn! "Yall' aint ready sticks out in my head the most". I like how he started the album out with the intro he used. It kind of gets you amped f...or what ya about to hear. I love when J-Dilla does those kinds of beats. Its got like a real crazy flavor to it. "Clap" and "Give it up" fall in that same beat path too. Real good piece of work and I definatly recomend it to anybody who has never even heard of Jay Dee.

  • Overall:

    One the Best Hip-Hop albums of 2001.

    By verna_haynes  Nov 24, 2001

    Welcome to Detroit is a album that has everlasting quality. The drums on this record are contagious, they will have your head nodding from beginning to end. I Know the lyrics aren't best, but who cares. If you're expecting materialistic, fake mack, a...ll about my ice rhymes, then you need to buy Gay-Z's album. Jay is innovating with his raw, but polished tracks. When you hear the album you can tell that this man really loves the music. Some of albums highlight are "Think Twice", which is a cover of a well known jazz funk song by the legendary trumpeter, Donald Byrd.Also check out, "It's Like That" featuring two Detroit rhymesayers named Hodge podge and Lacks, also listen closely to track it is so... funky, I believe that Jay used a real live bass guitar for that bass line. Personally I love every track on the album, you have to respect it because it's good music. This album would be great for a gift to your little brother or sister that are currently in high school. Because it will force them to open their minds and ears to different music. This album has come out during a time, where young people need to be inspired to be their own person. Conformity is not the answer for them, which can heard in the majoity of the so called rap albums out now. Trust Me, this is a dope record. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Welcome 2 Detroit

  • All Music Guide

    Jay Dee made a name for himself as one-third of A Tribe Called Quest's beat-making faction (the Ummah). Thanks to his work on Common's critically acclaimed Like Water for Chocolate and Q-Tip's post-Quest endeavor Amplified, Dee has also established himself as a hip-hop super-producer. While Dee's stock continues to rise (working with Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, and Macy Gray), his underground projects have been less fruitful. Reason being, when it comes to enlisting new emcees to collaborate with, Dee has yet to locate a lyricist capable of augmenting his sublime production. This fact became apparent during Dee's short-lived stint as a member of Slum Village, and the trend continues with his first solo outing, Welcome 2 Detroit. Here, Dee continues to showcase a diverse assortment of sensuous melodies and booming funk samples. The Detroit breed emcees who Dee chooses to highlight -- Phat Kat on "Rico Suave Bossa Nova" and Beej on "Beej-N-Dem Pt. 2" prove to be very mediocre lyricists. ...Yet Dee did manage to round up a few hometown prospects, as Frank N Dank liven up "Pause" and Elzhi rips a few furious verses on "Come Get It." Though Dee flips a few clumsy bars as well, Welcome 2 Detroit really takes off when he sticks solely to an instrumental script, retouching trumpeter Donald Byrd's "Think Twice" and transforming Kraftwerk's indelible "Trans-Europe Express" into the strippers'-anthem-in waiting "B.B.E." (Big Booty Express). - Matt Conaway, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Jay Dee

After quietly serving as a member of A Tribe Called Quest's production team, the Ummah, Detroit producer Jay Dee quickly became known as a major hip-hop prospect at the beginning of the early 2000s. The hip-hop community took notice of his no-frills, breakbeat-laden classic hip-hop style after he helped craft albums for Common (Like Water for Chocolate), D'Angelo (Voodo... Read more
