~~WARNING!!! All you Rap-A-Lot heads expecting this to be another release full of shoot-em-ups and gangster narratives over hard beats heed this warning! This is no typical Rap-A-Lot album, I mean, Scarface doesn't even make an appearance!~~

The Odd Squad is a truly unique (in these pathetic Hip-Hop days especially) trio of Houston MC's, and they focus mainly on chronic, pu55y, more chronic and chronic pu55y. Seriously, only about 1/4 of the cuts on the album are non-weed/pu55y related...and that's just fine by me! This album is pure fun and provides the perfect soundtrack to a lengthy bong cession.

The trio consists of the now world famous Devin the Dude (this was his first album, back then just known as Devin), Jugg Mugg and Hip-Hop's first (and only?) blind MC, Rob Quest. Each has a style to his own and a personality to match - no stale, lifeless MC's here folks!
As you can imagine, Devin is exactly as we know him now - stoned and horny, and dropping hilariously dope stories verse after verse. Jugg Mugg is alright, he's nothing special but tolerable and he can hold his own in-between Devin and Rob's verses. Rob is the real surprise here, the kid can ferociously rip a mic. To me he sounds kinda like A-Plus from Souls of Mischief in his ability to ride a rhythm and kick mad lyrics (a true compliment!) His two solo tracks "Jazz Rendition" and the incredible "I Can't See It" are stand-outs and are the only cuts where the MC tears apart the mic (check it!) without a mention of weed or a55. I guess what they say is true about the blind - their other senses are heightened...in Rob's case his vocal abilities have sky-rocketed. The best thing about the Odd Squad is their diversity, not on topic material, but within the MC's themselves. As I said before, each has a personality to his own, and real Hip-Hop heads know what a rarity that is in Hip-Hop groups.

As for the album itself, the beats are amazing! Each one compliments the track's topic and the MC's handle them like pros. They're mostly classic '94 laid-back stoner beats, with a couple of harder tracks thrown in for variety compliments of Rob Quest (see solo tracks above). Note, Rob's tracks may take you by surprise!

What makes this album so special (and highly sought-after, therefore expensive) is the fact that it's one of those oh so rare, listen straight through-no need to skip a track-play it again and again and tell a friend albums. In fact, back in '98 Scarface called "Fadanuf fa Erybody," `the best album Rap-A-Lot has ever released' and I find that very hard to argue.

Bottom Line: What more can I say? This album is so fun and I cram to think of any fan of old-school Hip-Hop not loving it. 5 stars, PEACE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, August 22, 2007

This review is from: Fadnuf Fa Erybody (Audio CD)

This is an all out classic album. Southern funk meets 94 era hip hop flavor. Its like if Tribe Called Quest were funny dudes from Texas that liked smoking weed and drinking. I can't recommend this album enough. If you like hip hop period, you need to own this.
