Brand Nubian, “Everything Is Everything,” Elektra (**1/2 ). In 1992’s “In God We Trust,” one of the most extraordinary rap albums ever, Brand Nubian burned Islamic beliefs into your consciousness with a clarity of ideology only the truly impassioned can muster. This isn’t the aggressive call to revolutionary arms that would seem the logical follow-up. The N.Y.-based trio hasn’t exactly mellowed, but the fervor has been tempered enough to make “Everything” less menacing.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
