Free Music Review: Are You A True Fuschnick? {4.5 Stars}
Hit: 4 Stars
To be honest, when I first heard "Ring The Alarm" (their 1st single), I didn't like it. I thought the beat was corny and the video was definitely corny. So I didn't give these guys the time of day for about 3 or 4 months. Then I saw the video for "La Schmoove" and the beat, though not as hardcore as I would've preferred at the time, was nice and it featured one of my favorite rappers (Phife Dawg). But that still wasn't enough to sway me. What did it for me was when I was watching video jukebox (a childhood staple of mine) and I saw the video for "True Fuschnick". The video, in all its black & white, posse vibe glory, was enough for me. I immediately went and grabbed the album. I think what immediately jumps out about this album is easily Chip Fu. I've only heard one person rap faster than Twista (I'm talkin' the old "Runnin' Off At The Mouth" Twista too, not that candy b.s that you new jacks are used to). Chip is that person. Sometimes it seems like dude just doesn't come up for air. I personally think his flow is amazing. Poc Fu is nice too, but in a more gritty, hardcore kind of way. Moc Fu is just "eh" in my book, but he's a more than capable 3rd option that holds his own. The beats are harder than what I expected given the names in the producer credits -- A Tribe Called Quest (3 tracks), Dres (1 track), Lyvio G. (3 tracks), and Fu Schnickens (3 tracks). All in all, the songs all thump well and the lyrics are solid.
As far as flaws, I would have to say that there really aren't any. To be honest, there are probably one or two mediocre beats (Check It Out, Bebo), but Chip's flow carries any mediocrity found here. Also, every now and then Moc Fu will drop a wack line and because the rest of the album is so dope, it sort of magnifies his slip ups. Otherwise, things are great. This joint bumps all the way through but the LP is kind of short (10 tracks at just over 43 minutes). So enjoy the short but sweet format.
F.U. Don't Take It Personal is one of the best rap releases from '92. I think the fact that west coast was becoming a raging monster in the rap game helped make this joint as slept on as it is. The sound is vintage early 90's east coast flavor (which never gets old to me). I recommend grabbing this joint if you come across it. You'll be glad you did.
