Young MC – Brainstorm (CD) (1991) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

In hardcore hip-hop circles, more commercial rappers generally aren’t thought of as having a lot of technique — the consensus is that they’re getting over on their pop or R&B appeal rather than their rapping skills. After “Bust a Move” became a major hit in the R&B market, Young MC was viewed suspiciously by b-boys. But make no mistake: the clean-cut L.A. rapper has considerable technique and could no doubt hold his own in a microphone battle. While his second album wasn’t the hit that Stone Cold Rhymin’ was, it’s a decent, enjoyable effort with strong hooks and definite dancefloor appeal. Such congenial, R&B-ish fare as “That’s the Way Love Goes,” “Listen to the Beat of the Music,” and “After School” obviously wasn’t aimed at hardcore rap audiences, but leaves no doubt that Young MC could flow with the best.
