While all the artists have successfully survived apart, their chemistry together still works wonders. With its odd mix of black-power politics, feel-good party songs, and straight lyrical bravado,\nFoundation surprisingly emerges as one of 1998's better rap albums. Brand Nubian invigorate everything from dance tracks (\"Back Up off the Wall\") to underground gems (\"The Return\"). They even manage to update James Brown's anthem \"I'm Black and I'm Proud\" while sounding less dated than you'd expect.\n--Oliver Wang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 078221902427\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0078221902427\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960682602530,"sku":"1K-UM4N-B13T","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51GJPfZK5KL.jpg?v=1783637426","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/foundation","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
