Now, I'm not sure whom actually wrote this.Under the heading;The Spinal Tap of Hip Hop the byline is John Schacht, at the end of review it says: Paul Rogers...
Here it is verbatim-
Dec. 20 2007-Inland Empire Weekly (L.A. California)
Govinda Sky--Surrender
The Spinal Tap of hip hop, (This refers to the film 'This is Spinal Tap', about aging rockers trying to make a come-back-my note) Boston's Govinda Sky not only claim to have "created a new genre"-"Transcendental Hip Hop"- but have copyrighted and trademarked the term (seriously).It doesn't help that they look like a pair of aging High Desert meth cookers who've kidnapped a mid-puberty Ali G. A shame, 'cos Surrender is actually rather listenable. Govinda Sky set out to "enlighten people"...about Eastern traditions and philosophy with gusto, littering the disc with sitars,gongs, exotic mantras and lyrical nods to Hinduism, Islam, Gandhi--oh and Christianity, Dr. King and what sounds like Native American war cries. I think I caught a reference to chicken tikka masala, but might have been hungry. Trevor Buckingham is an able if unspectactacular rapper and at least offers a positive alternative to Gucci 'n guns gangsta-isms, and Raja (ahem)James Cennamo enthusiastically chants his bumper sticker hooks, but the spell's broken repeatedly by clove-smoking, bee-in-a bottle guitar abominations.Check out to see what I mean. (Paul Rogers)

We thought this was hilarious! Just some critic practicing his cliches and metaphors.They didn't "get it"...But any notice beats no notice!!---JMD

But it has an 11, don't you see, 11, not 10, 11.

Classic.

Oh, and yes, the reviewer did whip out their Journalism 101 Strunk & White Cliche Compendium.
