After Brand Nubian's breakup following their classic debut album "One for All," the obvious star of the group Grand Puba decided to go in a very different direction as a solo artist and released his debut "Reel to Reel." In sharp contrast to "One for All," which was a very socially relevant record, "Reel to Reel" is a light and entertaining record that's all about Puba having fun on the mic. One could even call it a party album, it is consistently happy and upbeat. If I were to compare his style on this album to any MC, I might say Slick Rick to give you an idea this album. Lyrically, he uses a lot of funny punchlines and metaphors that will actually make you laugh, and he uses battle-style raps a lot of the time. The rest of the time he has a very laidback style, except for the handful of tracks where he does kick knowledge in the socially conscious side. He has a great flow and sometimes shows a little bit of reggae influence in his raps too...
