I just got the greatest album of Poetic Ammo, it brought back memories and i noticed that Too Phat wasn't the 1st to fusion the Malay instrument into Hip Hop. I believe Poetic was the 1st to do so in their 1st album , song titiled Puluru Puitis which means Poetic Ammo in Malay.
I strongly feel that EMI didnt give Poetic Ammo the promotion/air play that they deserve like how that did for Too Phat. I would like to scream bias but that would put me in trouble and cause some people to be sensitive by my comment.
Poectic Ammo is a Malaysian band fighting in the Malaysian Music Industry, i see them as the Alleycats of this generation. Couple of Indian guys with a chinese dude. I still can remember the 1st time i heard the 1st songs of the abum 'Kuala Lumpur'. I practically could feel the vibe/energy that they were throwing at us. They were far better that 4u2C and the other so called Hip Hop bands.Forget Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, my first dose of the new Age rock was 'Amunition Check'.
It sad to see that the original krew of Poetic Ammo has had indiffrences and has headed their own separate ways. I honestly would hope they the four of the would come back again come up with an album like the old times. But it doesnt seem like anything like that will happen in the near future.
