Negative Positive
Title: bustin' melonz...
Review: Very decent mid 90's hip hop album from a crew I know nothing else about except that this, their only album, has some excellent tracks. The style is not so far removed from early Pharcyde, but with a slightly more gangsta emphasis in the lyrical content. The production is mostly raw and percussive with very cool samples (especially "Flippin' Off The Tip" which will have to go down as the best hip hop track ever to sample jimi hendrix, IMO), but what lets the album down slightly are the annoying skits in between most tracks which are about 1 minute long each, and sound like they were recorded on a dictaphone with loads of harsh distortion. they're just not nice to listen to. The tracks and emcees (there's about 5 or 6 different rappers) are all up to par...an album to pick up if you see it.
Is the review positive or negative?
