Photographer: Josh Rothstein. The thinking man's favorite MC, Pharoahe Monch put in work in the 1990s as one half of Organized Konfusion. His exceptional 1999 debut, INTERNAL AFFAIRS (perhaps the apex of Rawkus's first wave), raised the bar for intelligent lyricism. After an eight year absence, the South Side, Queens native brings a gang of stress build-up to his sophomore release, DESIRE. Setting his sights on everything from crooked record labels to the war in Iraq, Pharoahe unleashes his lyrical fury with a barrage of head-scratching homonyms and tongue-twisted alliteration that puts Das EFX to shame. He speaks of gun violence on "When the Gun Draws," reworks PE's "Welcome to the Terrordome" for the new millennium, and gets a little crossover on "Body Baby." The beats bang thanks to the Alchemist, Denaun Porter, Sean C, Black Milk, Lee Stone, and Pharoahe himself, while Erykah Badu, Mr. Porter, Dwele, and Tone are featured. Without a doubt, DESIRE ranks among the best hip-hop albums of 2007.
