Free Music Review: So Much Funk!
Hit: 5 Stars
1994-1995 was an awesome period in hip-hop. Too Short definitely gets his pim strut on real big here. Now, I may not be a big fan of pimp/misogyny rap, and Short is huge on this, but I cannot deny it, he is cool; I have 11 of his albums! He flows easy and simple over the syrupy funk of the beats. Many complain about Too Short's rhyme schemes, but I do like his flow, and he does rhyme well. Now, the beats definitely slap with that 90's G-Funk syrupy vibe courtesy of the Dangerous Crew, Shorty B, Pee Wee, Spearhead X, Short himself, and of course, long time cuddy Ant Banks!! My favorite song here is the Banks and Short collabo, "Can I Get A B---h." The beat is that type you envision ridin' on 3 wheel with triple gold on a famed sunny Cali day! Banks beat here is one of his best ever. Banks also heats up the beat with some old school flava on the pimp style rider anthem, "Top Down." 2Pac, Father Dom, and Flint Mi.'s great MC Breed trade relentless flows over a bouncy Dangerous Crew beat on "We Do This." "Thangs Change" takes a different approach. Spearhead X and Short Dog create a slow bass heavy G-Funk beat while Short analyzes how screwed up life can be and how values in society have changed over the decades trading spits with Malik, Jamal (from Illegal), and the youngsta from Atlanta Baby D. "Paystyle" is hot with a slick rollin' beat and deep bass and Short gets his hustle on makin that cheddar while buckin' down mark azz MC's. I don't like the simplistic sampling on "Giving Up The Funk," for the sample has been overused and sounds so generic here. But for the most part, the beats are bangin' with that mid 90's bay area fonk! Pimp rap was nathan new to Short Dog in 1994/1995, but he always brings that charisma, and why change a winning formula?
