People Watching (1999)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Jan 12, 1999; Lead Performance: Khaleel; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

As Bronx Style Bob (his old MC handle), Bob Khaleel turned word tricks for Grandmaster Melle Mel and Afrika Bambaataa, then transformed himself into a pie-eyed psych-rocker with his band Super-8. On People Watching, Khaleel has taken another giant leap forward with his songwriting partner John O'Brien, crafting insightful adult pop that stings with the pain of a thousand recriminations. B
