Jerome Sable (Bushman) and Eli Batalion (VowelMovement) are the masterminds behind theatrical stage performances Hip Hop 4 Dummeez and the critically acclaimed, multi-award winning JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical. So, its no surprise this Montreal duo, rhyming together since 1992, are talented and capable of telling a funny tale. Sable and Batalion G-up one of the worlds most famous streets for "Sesame Hood, get busy with porn star "Gidget the Midget, and issue warnings about the five-o on "The Weed Hos Placebos. The lyrics are often funny, and Sable & Batalion are skilled MCs. Unfortunately, the duos party-friendly beats dont always work, and occasionally come off as generic, especially with "3-3-7 and the bland R&B vocals on "Sure Its Love and "Lift Off, although guest vocalist Nicole Leach redeems herself on "Feel the Hump. They may not cause as much pleasure as the G-spot theyre named after, but Sable and Batalion are worth more than a few laughs.
