iTunes Editors’ Notes

Though Chubb Rock was a respected elder statesman of the New York hip-hop community, he wasn't associated with a larger crew, which may have curbed the success of 1991’s The One. Chubb’s most successful album boasted a big hit in “Treat ‘Em Right,” and the rest of the album is just as good—from “The One” to “Just the Two of Us” and “The Night Scene.” He combined the vocal authority of Chuck D, the ingenious beats of Gang Starr, and the street wisdom of KRS-One. Though unfairly overlooked, The One is a top-shelf hip-hop statement from an unrecognized master.

re: iTunes Review

I am not reviewing Chubb Rock, however, The iTunes reviewer needs to get his/her mind right. The claim that Hip-Hop in the Northeast was not concerned with beats/grooves as compared to the west coast in the early 90's is laughable & simply wrong. While the G-Funk sound was indeed groovy and novel (and blew up commercially), to disregard contemporary albums from artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Diamond D, & Digable Planets (just to name a few) ignores classic, important, timeless hip-hop beats.

an overlooked gem

you treat me right, ooh hoo.
