5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Breed, April 4, 2003

By

This review is from: Funkafied (Audio CD)

When you first play a Breed track, you invariably think you're listening to something older than it really is. I mean, look at his first album with the DFC. One of the most hype albums you'll ever hear, but it's done completely with a drum machine, a few scratches and some INCREDIBLE lyrical ability. Wherever he gets his beats, whether from an 808 or from an old 45, Breed's style cannot be denied, because his lyrics leave you forgetting about the rest of the track. Not that his tracks are forgettable (I don't care what anyone says, the beats and scratches on I Will Excel are amongst the best I've ever heard come out of a studio), it's just that he's that good.

Now to this album in particular. The album is laid out heavy with some decent funk backgrounds, and some even heavier lyrics. The best part is, even though he's got a smooth flow which makes you think of your standard West Coast acts of the era, he sets himself apart by actually SAYING something. Imagine my surprise when I threw in the tape and heard phrases like "Maybe I should teach my kid how to shoot./Maybe I should teach my kid how to shoot hoops." That lyric alone would have had me hooked, if it weren't for the fact that his Underground Address (reminiscent of Griff's Blax Thanx stylings, except much more creative...even if it does drag a little long) and What You Want already had me floored. Even now, in 2003, I find that I move away from my CDs, MP3s and DVDs and head back to my trusty old ghetto blaster, just to listen to albums like Funkafied, the D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better, and Kokane's first album (back when he had to go by "Who Am I?").

If you're looking for a classic album to pick up, I can't recommend this album enough.

MC Breed's most successful album, Funkafied, an album that astonishingly peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B chart, is also his most unique and arguably joint of the turning point in his dynamic career like on What You Want which is a tight joint with a classic 90's G-funk beat, Smokin' featuring DFC is a joint about Breed & his homie DFC be smokin' a joint on this song about locin' & smokin', a crazy joint Teach My Kids is about teaching his kids how to shoot with guns, and to think this dude is from Flint, Michigan home to Micheal Moore, The Deal Is Funk is another tight joint with a fresh & funky G-funk that makes this album a classicc.

MC Breed is stirin' up a joint on songs *2, *3, 4, *5, 6, 7, 8, *9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 16.
