Bishop Lamont ft. Xzibit - Hallelujah

Bishop Lamont - Hallelujah

Featuring: Xzibit

Producer: Dr. Dre

Album: Unreleased

Label: Diocese

As his stage name, as well as the titles of his forthcoming debut album (Reformation) and label imprint (Diocese) make clear, Bishop Lamont is all about taking hip-hop to church. Though not yet slated for inclusion on any project, Hallelujah fits perfectly with that theme, and could easily serve as intro track to his forthcoming full-length (which has yet to receive a release date). The unreleased cut finds Lamont gathering his congregation of fans to exorcise the game’s demons, paving the way for real hip-hop’s return. Xzibit‘s strong hook, in which he denounces rap’s most unfortunate trends as the work of the devil, certainly sets an inspiring mood, but what really sets this revival in motion is Dr. Dre‘s masterful instrumental, featuring a delicate piano loop and sampled church-choir backing vocals. Let the casual fans say “Chuuch!” while the devoted Booth-heads shout a resounding “Hallelujah!”

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on July 13, 2009

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1624	Rating: cb126405's Top Rated Songs Lamont is on his grind, about the only one from the West Coast these days it's starting to seem like. That chorus is a little too eerie, but the production overall was cold. Lamont came hard on here, and it's GREAT to hear from Mr. X to the Z.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11882	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I would go out and BUY a Bishop/Xzibit album produced entirely by Dre. I wish Xzibit had a full-length verse, but beggars cannot be choosers. Overall enjoyable. Follow @DJBooth

Aussie_Pride Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1192	Rating: Aussie_Pride's Top Rated Songs Im a big fan of Bishop, though im not a big fan of this track. Lyrically Lamont is good, though the production & the hook from X wasnt real flash.

BDF44 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 2281	Rating: BDF44's Top Rated Songs Bishops 1st verse was classic. That dude is talented. This is not my favorite Dre beat, but its bangable. X to the Z's hook was on point, good to see him back in the booth.

jkrantz DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 4	Rating: jkrantz's Top Rated Songs Beat coulda been better on Dre's part. Bishop sounds sick in this song. Xzibit shoulda had a verse in this song instead of the chorus i think. In rotation

A-LO (MT3) DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 3	Rating: A-LO (MT3)'s Top Rated Songs I'm surprised this hasn't been given a higher rating! GREAT engineering on Dre's part.. them pianos and drums are matched perfectly in there. Bishop went hard on the track but had a couple questionable lines. Xzibit was a nice touch. Almost classic.. but not quite.

Aussie_Accents Tastemaker Total Ratings: 2949	Rating: Aussie_Accents's Top Rated Songs I'm a huge fan of Bishop Lament, and I have always loved Xzibit since listening to him when I was 13 years old. I really dig this tune, beat aint crazy but the lyrics and flow from Bishop are just grinding down my brain into a nugget of gold, always good to hear X anywhere, anytime. Not classic, definate banger though :)
