Those madcap Orange County rappers the Kottonmouth Kings are back with their latest release, "High Society". The Kings combine elements from several types of music with their free-flowing rhymes, most noticeably reggae and punk rock. One aspect of the Kottonmouth King's music which is unavoidable to discuss is, as their name and the title of this release implies, is their liberal use of marijuana. Practically every song is an ode to the herb (or a tirade against the government). Their views may alienate a large segment of the population, but then again, they may attract a larger following as well. If you can get past their pot smoking, the Kings are actually excellent rappers. Their rhetoric, whether meant to be or not, is just plain hilarious. It is most enjoyable when Brad Daddy X busts a rhyme, perhaps because his voice at times takes on a bizarre lilt that sounds as though he is insane, and the rhythmic interplay between X, Johnny Richter and D-Loc. locks in with the mesmeric turntable work of DJ Bobby B to create a perfect blend. The Kings also run with a talented, if somewhat disreputable, crowd. Guesting on the disc are those lovable fellows from the Insane Clown Posse; Sen Dog of Cypress Hill; Dog Boy (Too Rude), who provides the overall reggae flavor; and for the punk rock vibe, Jack Grisham of punk legends TSOL. Self-described as "slow and stony", the Kottonmouth Kings create a sonic landscape filled with spacy, funked-out beats balanced by hardcore rantings, yet the quandary remains if whether or not these guys should be taken seriously. They seem to be legitimate white-boy rappers, not the charlatans so prevalent today, but who else would have a song entitled "Peace Not Greed", about society's social ills, followed immediately by a track about the joys of winning the lottery ("The Lottery")?Free Music Review: Very Good, But It Feels As If There Is Something Missing...

Don't get me wrong, ever since Stoners Reeking Havoc came out, I have been kottonmouth kings crazy, and to me, everything they have ever done has been great. I listened to this release on monday, when i picked it up from my local music shop. (hot hits for all my detroit homies) I heard about the whole Saint issue, and still believing that it had to be a rumor, i got an email from Doug from suburban noize saying it was true. I don't know about you guys, but i think Saint represented what the kottonmouth kings were all about, stoned punks who could rap better than many of today's mainstream MCs. Without Saint in the group, i feel as the group has lost something...even though Johnny Richter (lady killer! ) is tight as hell, he just can't replace Saint. So, I would recommend this album to people who liked the Kottonmouth Kings before, but don't mind a little change. But, if Saint was your reason for liking the Kottonmouth Kings, it might be time to find a new group. The whole cd is good though, so give the kottonmouth kings some support, and pick this up...they deserve it.
