4 out of 5 stars certainly not the first, hopefully not the last.......2006-08-31

Very strong in the realm of beats - this is much more melodic than Emanon's previous work. Yes. Previous work. To check out their other albums, you may want to start with Steps Through Time for a compilation of their underground hip hop years that will inspire you beyond words. You may have to dig for it.

Sure the production is better on this album, but I feel a lot of the emceeing and the lyrics lose the gripping power of Emanon's work from the late 90's. I'd give it a 5 in relationship to most other hip hop out there these days, but my expectations for Emanon are sky-high.

Always conscious, intelligent, clever, talented, and poignant, Emanon still ranks somewhere at the top as far as underground hip hop artists are concerned.

5 out of 5 stars No Waitin Here!.......2006-07-26

Emanon gives it to you all 25 tracks. Innovation, creative, out of the box, realistic, and on point! I am definately feeling this duo, they are truly revolutionaries. Pseudo and Politician are just two examples of their style of neo hip hop soul. This joint just never seems to end and keeps your attention with freshness. If you are looking for something different without goin' off on the deep end the Emanon is the one to keep it relevant.

5 out of 5 stars Emanon Is More Than You Know.......2006-03-12

Emanon (DJ Exile And Aloe Blacc) out of Southern California released a solid debut album, The Waiting Room. The lyrical content is beyond on point and beats are melodic and infectious. Emanon have a unique style and Aloe Blacc truely posses above average MIC skills, he can sing, MC and speak spoken word. I can enjoy The Waiting Room from beginning to end. The tracks that stand out are the opening song...

Count Your Blessing (nice track and sample of Sister Nancy's track Bam Bam)
The Word (nice lyrics, chorus)
More Than You Know (a favorite with a nice instrumental outro)
Pseudo (another favorite and it pretty much sums up the mainstream rap game today...Wack!! Nice beat, chorus)
Make Music, Politician (lyrical content on point)
The Waiting Room (nice beat, tight flows)
Four Square (nice beat)
A Story (Emanon's lyrical Bio)
Ahh Ouai (my favorite track)
Six Million Way (DJ Exile shines solo, bomb a** track, another favorite)
She Thinks (Aloe Blacc shows his vocal skills, tite track)
Farewell (ends the CD off nicely by way of a tight track and lyrics once again).

I really recommend picking this album up, it's true underground hip-hop @ it's finest.
This album also truely showcases Emanon's skills with no guest appearances.
You will not be dissappointed, if you enjoy Little Brother, A Tribe Called Quest or Slum Village!

Support and enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Great album.......2005-03-23

Very good album. The album is unique and the beats seem pretty soulful and traditional. It reminds me of the earlier The Roots albums. If you're into soulful, mellow, mid 90's style beats this is for you. There is none of that Def Jux, El-P type tech hip-hop in here. This is pure, unadulterated, hip-hop and it is evident from the first song you will hear to the last.

My favorite tracks are "The World Don't Sing" and "Pseudo".

5 out of 5 stars Waiting Room.......2005-03-23

I must say that it is important for people who review albums to know exactly what they are talking about. Although I agree with the previous review in regards to the recommendation for the purchase of the album, I must comment on the fact that the review was weak in respect to the analyzation of the music itself. The only individual who sings on the album is Aloe Blacc. He is the emcee and the singer. DJ Exile flows on one track and it should be completely obvious. The previous review is a decent one for a novice. For a knowledgeable hip-hop enthusiast...the review was weak. Emanon is the isht. Do your homework ... genius.
