mc chris FTW!, September 27, 2006
This review is from: Dungeon Master of Ceremonies (Audio CD)
Definately a great album worth buying. Also, the hard copy CD contains a bonus track after "Smackababy," just in case you were gonna go to iTunes.

A Step Beyond, October 23, 2006
This review is from: Dungeon Master of Ceremonies (Audio CD)
mc chris has been at this game for a long, long time. I remember hearing a homemade tape of his about 10 years ago.
Which is why this record is such a treat for me. The first three tracks of the record have a real raw, gritty sound to them. He's backed by "real" (non-electronic) drums, a lowdown distortion-heavy bass, and a melodic yet powerful guitar. I imagine him with his punk rock buddies just kicking it low-fi/tech, and the results are amazing. Feel-good pop-punk sounding songs, with chris' signature hilarious self-deprecating and sarcasting rhymes delivered with his signature upper-octave style.
Another highlight is "PWOM" -- Chris' answer to AndrewWK's "Party Hard". A anthem for the ages that should be played at ANY (above-21) social setting.
This release also is VERY heavy on skits. Which work for the most part. mc chris in heaven meeting Jesus? A great concept to begin with, but it gets even funnier as Jesus shares with chris what we would all do if we had Jesus' powers.
Certainly, chris hasn't moved away from his hip-hop roots musically, musically. "Check the Ring" and "wiid" are the highlights here. Each has its own grooving vibe -- the former a dancefloor booty shaker, the latter a righteous chillout groove.
A great release that I've been listening to non-stop.

Another triumph, October 20, 2006
This review is from: Dungeon Master of Ceremonies (Audio CD)
The latest album from Nerdcore rapper mc chris (lowercase, no dots, rewind) features more of his signature sound: memorable beats, tight rhymes, comedy skits, and his infinitely memorable voice.
Rapping about subjects ranging from video games, to films, to partying, to illicit substance use, and rapper posturing, mc chris creates another winning album.
A note: Amazon.com lists track 6. as "Wild." It is, in fact, "Wiid." Also, there is a hidden track 14: a remix of "Booties For Breakfast."
