Whether he's decrying the commodification of music (\"Brought to You By . . .\"), unnecessary agendas (\"The Simple Love of Life\"), relationship woes (the eerily Boyz II Men-styled \"Livin' in the Real World\"), or flaunting his individuality (\"It's a Challenge for Me\"), Speech uses his aptly titled soul-gospel-pop-infused \u003ci\u003eSpiritual People\u003c\/i\u003e to soapbox for the greater good. Unfortunately, the Georgia-based musician's points often come off more as self-help prescriptions than declarative statements. And with a few notable exceptions (\"Brother Speech,\" \"Y-O,\" and the thoroughly ill-advised \"Jungle Man\"), there's not much rap going on. Still, when Speech hits, he hits the mark; the ridiculously upbeat \"Cruisin' in My Super Beetle\" is a corker even if, like most of the songs here, it's weirdly toothless. \u003ci\u003e--Kim Hughes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 801190105021\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801190105021\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43033862209795,"sku":"I0-S1CJ-PBBQ","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/41HGT0Y9JQL.jpg?v=1657689124","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/spiritual-people","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
