Format:Audio CD
Biz Markie has always been a strange artist in that his stuff shouldnt work, but inexplicably does. It works very much.
At first listen to this album, it can be quite jarring It starts off with an amusing little country-guitar freestyle, just to prove that Biz is as mad as ever (and that he still can't sing).
Then, the first track 'Tear Sh*t Up' is as old-school as they get. Jazzy Jeff provides the scratch, and an old-fashioned minimalist break beat backs up Biz's party rhymes. Its good, but not great, and makes one wonder if the man has moved with the times at all.
Track two 'Chinese Food' is similarly basic, but the rhymes are quite funny. Yup, he talks about food.
So far, things are ok, but not great, but when track 3 'Let me see you bounce' kicks in, things take a dramatic turn for the better. It's remeniscent of some of Busta Rhyme's quirky ragga/dancehall tinged beats, and deseerves to be a hit.
From this point on, the album goes from strength to strength. It has a strong old-school flavour, with Biz's main concern being party rhymes, boasting and bragging, and wanting to entertain more than inform. His lyrics have a singalong (rappalong?) quality that much hip-hop lacks these days. It does however, seem that Biz is yearning for the old days. 'Throw Back' , and 'Turn Back the Hands of Time' both recall the the old days, with the former being a more cheerful tune, but the latter adding a poignan twist to the theme. The beats throughout are updates of old school stylings, and the piano breaks that pop up occasionally are typically Biz.
One of the standouts that definitely warrants a mention is 'For The DJs', its a heavy beat, and is similar in tone to Joe BUdden's 'Pump it Up'. Only better.
You like guest appearances? How about Jazzy Jeff, P Diddy, Lil' Kal, Elephant Man, Erick Sermon, and Faison? That should keep you happy.
Sadly, there were problems with sample clearance which mean some of the tracks have been reworked from their original form as played in promo copies (Imagine how much they must be worth in coming years). You have to question if this record may have originally been slightly better, and the last track 'Im Not Perfect' isnt even on the album, as announced by a card inside this UK release CD).
Go buy this one, it's a real grower, but one has to wonder how the younger listeners infamiliar with 80's hip hop will recieve it.
