Apparently he was gathering his energies, because he returned with a flourish on 2005's enjoyable and thoughtful WIN LOSE OR DRAW.On "Light My Fire," the former Fugee rather modestly states, "still Pras/fat hooks/I'm no Nas." While Queensbridge's aforementioned king is a high standard to live up to, Pras is capable of imparting insight in his own subtle manner, while peeling off some head-turning lines on the contemplative "For Love" and the self-deprecating "Mistakes." Furthermore, his hooks are unique. On "Haven't Found," for example, he reworks a classic U2 riff, adding his own absorbing adornments and dropping a neat political oration over the resultant beat with style to spare. After his conspicuous silence, Pras Michel had a good deal to say on WIN LOSE OR DRAW, making it a hearty, absorbing album. | |||||||||||||||
