U GONNA HAVE TO TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, September 2, 2000
This review is from: The Dude (Audio CD)
well, upon hearing this CD for the first time, i thought i got jacked. u know what i'm saying, that feeling u get when u pop that brand new CD in your CD player, listen to a few songs, and u instantly try to make up an excuse to take the CD back to the record store. well, after about a month of isolating myself from the CD, i finally started giving it rotation. and that's when i found out exactly what type of CD it is. this CD is all about Realism, to the fullest. every song, in someway, u can relate to. i mean, i dont have any friends that own 10 different color Bentley's and a stretch Rolls Royce, and about 20 million dollors of Jewelry in their mouth. but i'll tell u this, i gotta gang of friends who come to work STONED & DRUNK EVERYDAY, and dont care. which happens to be the topic of the song "I CANT QUIT". the overall tempo of the CD is very slow, which is good because when when you're drunk, some music seems to sound as if it's playing to fast. Devin's style of rapp is so laid back, til he's almost slurring. i would guess about 85% of this CD, your not gonna hear in your local club, because it not that [booty-bump shake-your-rump] type of music. one of my personal favorites is: STICKY GREEN the intro, by Scarface, get's me hyped. and the overall love he feels is mutual. if your tired of hearing about people Ballin Outta Control, and u wanna hear some comedy/reality then pick this CD.
i give it 4.0 stars
"Q".

4.5 star solo debut from the Dude, April 29, 2005
This review is from: The Dude (Audio CD)
Just from the album cover you know what to expect. Some funny dirty lyrics and plenty of weed & alcohol references. Probably tied for my favorite Devin album (as of 4/05) with his "To The X-Treme". This is his most consistant of his first 3. Of the 16 tracks on here (3 are also on Scarface's "My Homies" album), 1 is ok, 2 are near classics and the rest are great or good songs. Guests are a little more common than he has on his other 2 albums but you still get enough of the Dufde to satisfy you. Production is great for him, relaxed and laid back beats laid by, Devin & Domo (each do 4 songs), Tone Capone, Scarface, and N.O. Joe each do 2, and Mr. Lee & Vintage each do a track. A must have album for his fans or any fan of dirty lyrics and funny stories (like DJ Quik, Akinyele, or Too $hort).
#1 - 9.5 (great dirty song)
#2 - 9 (f/ Scarfce -- about weed)
#3 - 8.5 (dirty song -- f/ Spice 1 & DMG)
#4 - 8.5 (also on Scarface's "My Homies" album)
#5 - 7.5
#6 - 8.5 (f/ Randy-Ran)
#8 - 8
#9 - 8.5 (also on Scarface's "My Homies" album)
#10 - 9 (upbeat song -- f/ K.B. & K-Dee)
#11 - 9 (relaxing beat (also on Scarface's "My Homies" album)
#12 - 8 (f/ Scarface, Jugg Mugg, Killemall, Ant Live)
#13 - 8 (very dirty one -- f/ K.B.)
#14 - 8.5 (anotehr dirty upbeat song -- f/ K.B. & Odd Squad)
#15 - 8 (f/ K.B. & K-Dee)
#16 - 9 (funny song about how he can't quit drinkin' and smokin')
#17 - 9.5 (great beat and story -- short 12 bar verses however --- f/ Kuirshan)
Devin Copeland -- b. around 1974 -- b. St. Petersburg, FL moved to Houston, TX
