DMG "Rigimortiz"
Goldy "In the Land Of Funk"
Dru Down "Can You Feel Me"
Funkdoobiest "Which Dubee U Be?"
Lootpack "Soundpieces: Da Antidote"
Swollen Members "Bad Dreams"
Mr. Doctor "Setripn Bloccstyle"
Dre Dog "New Jim Jones"
Kid Frost "Eastside Story"
RBX "RBX Files" | |

Kid Frost "Eastside Story"
RBX "RBX Files" Definitely check out both of those. I'd give them both 4 to 4.25 stars. | |

DMG "Rigimortiz"-CLASSIC, IMO
Goldy "In the Land Of Funk"
Dru Down "Can You Feel Me"
Funkdoobiest "Which Dubee U Be?"
Lootpack "Soundpieces: Da Antidote"-Eh, it's all typical 90's battle raps, but Madlib's in top form, so if you're a madlib fan and you can stomach typical cliche wack rapper bashing for dope beats, go for it
Swollen Members "Bad Dreams"-Their best IMO, overall a dope album. If you dig Dilated Peoples type stuff with a darker edge, this is definitely for you
Mr. Doctor "Setripn Bloccstyle"-Classic IMO, dope g funk with some horrorcore thrown in, but dude was made to spit over these kinds of beats. Dope, dope, dope
Dre Dog "New Jim Jones"
Kid Frost "Eastside Story"-dope, if you like his style
RBX "RBX Files-RBX hasn't dropped anything outstanding as a solo artist, but nothing insanely wack, either. If you think you might like it, you probably will, but the opposite of that statement is true as well

DMG "Rigimortiz"- come on...if you are only a casual fan of RAL records circa the early 90's you will dig this. It hasn't aged well to be honest so expect a dated sound. 4.5 personally but objectively its 4.0-4.25.
Goldy "In the Land Of Funk"- I only heard some of this a loong time ago. And for some reason I never owned it. He was basically a clone of Too Short who rapped faster than him. Think Suga Free without a lotta skill.
Dru Down "Can You Feel Me"
Funkdoobiest "Which Dubee U Be?"- This album goes hard and will put you mind of that 1st Cypres hIll album. I really enjoyed this one and Brothas Doobie. 4.25 easily.
Lootpack "Soundpieces: Da Antidote"
Swollen Members "Bad Dreams"
Mr. Doctor "Setripn Bloccstyle"
Dre Dog "New Jim Jones"
Kid Frost "Eastside Story"
RBX "RBX Files" - I pretty much agree with Jeff on this one. Not no where near wack but no where near great either. Its a decent average to above average maybe album. 3.5-3.75. |

| I love Rap a lot so i'll def. check out the DMG. I saw that Muggs worked with Funkdoobiest so that has to be dope, i'll check that out. The Swollen Members have always intrigued me but i've never listened to them. I dig Madlib so the Lootpack sounds dope. A friend of mine always used to big up that Mr. Doctor so i'll probably check it out too. I remember I used to always walk by the Dre Dog cd in the store and always wondered about it, but never gave it a chance. | |

| DMG is da TRUTH!
Lootpack is a good album to me, great to others. Funkdoobiest is great to me. If you like early House of Pain/Beastie Boys-esque type delivery with some great beats about smoking then this Buds for You! | |

| DMG "Rigimortiz" Dope album. I'd recommend it. 4.5 star territory IMO.
Dru Down "Can You Feel Me" 4.5 stars. Perhaps a personal classic. Mad style...I love his freewheeling personality.
Funkdoobiest "Which Dubee U Be?" 4.25-4.5 stars. They sound a lot like Cypress Hill, but it's totally dope hip-hop all around IMO.
Lootpack "Soundpieces: Da Antidote" 3.75 stars. Not bad. Rhymes get tired quick on this one. Very narrow subject matter (wack emcees and weed, pretty much). | |

| In The Land Of Funk is good not great, Mhisani always sounds good as a guest artist, but this was a disapointing debut IMO, the production is great, I was just expecting more.
New Jim Jones - Classic.
Can You Feel Me - Well worth the money if you're a fan of Dru, but I'll take his first over this one with the introduction of The Luniz.
Setrippin Bloccstyle - If you liked Lynch's Season Of Da Siccness, you'll jock this one too.
Eastside Story - I haven't listened to this one in a long time, but Frost's voice & his early stuff is all good. I'm sure you've heard No Sunshine at the end of American Me.
Which Doobie U B? - Classic. | |
