Review - :

Is this the real thing or a substitute? In 1998, {$Black Eyed Peas} released their debut, {^Behind the Front}, and by most accounts, it snugly filled a hole left behind by the absent, optimistic talents of {$A Tribe Called Quest} and {$De La Soul}. So in the same year that {$Jurassic 5} complete their first proper release and {$De La Soul} finally return, is there any room for a group like {$BEP} anymore? Well, maybe. While the album fails in its titular intention of bringing together the two exclusionary worlds of rap and rock, it still diligently follows in the footsteps of its predecessor's highs. Maybe one might have to look toward {$Kim Hill} -- the group's backing vocalist -- who seems to have a larger impact this time. {$Hill} hovers over terrific sun-streaked ditties like {&"Tell Your Mama Come"} and the irrepressible {&"Hot"} without a hitch. The other collaborations follow her lead too. From {$Macy Gray} to {$Les Nubians} to {$Mos Def} to, yes, even {$Jurassic 5} and {$De La Soul}, none of these guest artists feel out of place or contrived. Undoubtedly, this second release finally proves that {$BEP} get to mark their own territory in the history of old-school, soulful -- and playful -- hip-hop. Because {^Bridging the Gaps} is a terrific follow-up full of warmth. Unlike what the advertisements might say, this is a multi-ethnic, multi-faceted substitute that should be accepted immediately.
