Osama Bin Laden - The 1/14/09 Tape Review

It’s always sad to see the originator of a genre fade into obscurity and irrelevance. If they’re lucky, they’ll have made their mark in the mainstream (such as Elvis Presley) but all so often, like a DJ Kool Herc, they never get their chance, swallowed up by the very monster they created. Osama Bin Laden [Myspace] is one of the lucky few who managed to pioneer a genre and yet still achieved significant mainstream successes. Which is why it makes it so hard to say this, but we fear Osama Bin Laden is finished, spent as a creative force. posted on January 15, 2009 at 10:34am EST
