User Album Review
There are two schools of thought you can take when reacting to a new Bronson album. If you are looking for artistic progress or growth, perhaps you came to the wrong place as much of what you'll hear will sound very familiar. But if you grew to love the Action you have missed dearly since Mr. Wonderful, you should enjoy the newest edition to the Blue Chips collection.
BC7000 is made up of the eccentric beats and wide-ranging samples that fans of the Blue Chips series have come to expect, which is commendable considering the additional legal hoops a major label retail effort must jump through. As such, there are clever ways Bronson shows his range and versatility as a rapper; on one of the album's better moments, he freestyles over funky call-waiting music on "La Luna."
“Chairman’s Intent” has a fantastic break for strings, and there are some enjoyable guitar licks on “Chop Chop Chop” as well. One might think the horns on “Let It Rain” could even sound sexy if he didn’t mention McDonald's, and the production on “The Choreographer” is lush and brilliant.
Over the last few years, Action Bronson has diversified his portfolio and become perhaps more notable as a personality than a recording artist. Blue Chips 7000 isn't going to blow any minds or unveil two years of quiet artistic experimentation from the Queens rapper. Rather, it's a return to form for Bronson, who picks up right where he left off.
