Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

They say humour and music shouldn't mix, but it seems no-one told leisurewear-clad Welsh rap octet Goldie Lookin' Chain: their Greatest Hits, a major-label compilation of the highlights of their last five self-released CD-Rs, is the rare comedy record that transcends its laugh-out-loud novelty. The gags they offer are seldom sophisticated – the presence of a song titled "Your Mother's Got A Penis" has probably already alerted you to that fact – but the jokes come thick and fast, and there's enough deft characterisation to leisurewear-clad GLC members Dwain Xain, Mr Love Eggs, and The Maggot to drag the likes of "Half-Man, Half-Machine" and "Soap Bar" into the realms of situation comedy. Many of their best ideas are stolen: UK Top 5 single "Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do" nabs a vocal hook from KRS-One's "Sound Of The Police", while "Self Suicide" makes a cheeky rip from '90s rap goths Gravediggaz. But for all the petty theft on show, the GLC aren't lacking in ideas. With the possible exception of the slimy R&B grind of "You Knows I Loves You" – which, of course, is meant to sound utterly, horribly sleazy – there's not a bad track here. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

Debut album from the eighteen piece Cardiff rap troupe. TheGLC claim influences through their modifications of songs from artists such as So Solid Crew, The Streets and...Paul Gascoigne. Tracks tackle topics such as their Welsh Heritage, irrelevence of American Rappers, gun control and the allure of drugs (the last of which is a recurring theme throughout). Technically proficient but with a definite tongue in cheek.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU KNOWS IT CLART!!!, 11 Sep 2004
The Goldie Lookin Chain album is finally here for your listening pleasure - and every track will have you cracking up as they go through lyrics such as 'your mothers got a short dress on that sometimes exposes the tip of her dong.' GLC have been causing a bit of a stir on the underground scene for quitew a while now, playing shows in smaller venues but they are now gracing the mainstream and what better way could have done it than with the instantly catchy tune of 'Guns dont kill people, rappers do.' GLC truly are a class act and this 'Greatest Hits' album will no doubt be one of the albums of the year. Some people are calling them the new Darkness, otheres a Welsh Wu Tang - whatever you wish to call them they will sure put a smile on your face and this CD will be in your player for months to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars You knows it, clart!!!, 16 Jul 2004
By Ash (UK) - See all my reviews
If you've heard it, you knows it! The best thing to come out of Newport this year, the draw-lovin' b-boys from beyond the Bristol Channel are finally releasing an album, brilliantly titled Greatest Hits. They are literally dripping in council estate chic, with more Argos gold and attitude than Vicky Pollard. The beats and rhymes are witty and Welsh, and what I've heard has made me laugh more than a half of high grade green (which seems to be largely the source of their inspiration anyway). If this album is anything less than safe as f*ck I will damage myself. Remember kids, guns don't kill people, rappers do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Goldie lookin album!, 10 Jan 2005
Although GLC's talent is actually questionable, what is unquestionable, is that they can produce one hell of a funny album. I have never truely laughed out loud to an album before. Until I heard this. It was quite embarrasing, I was sitting in the car with my mum and sis with my headphones on and I suddenly burst out laughing. It really is funnier than some movies. There is no point sayin much more. Get it!
