Just because you read "worked on N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton" does not mean you're about to hear the lesser-known KRS-One: titles such as "Freak City" and "Situation Hot" should tip you off that this is a guy who should have been the DJ in Purple Rain, spinning nasty 808 electro for dance floor ménage a trois scenes. On "Take You Home Girl", AP demandingly whispers "my only desire was to take her home and set her body on fire (overwhelmed diva says "okay, I'll go")". Keeping with the running `80s theme that nerdy librarians are really sex-crazed chicken-heads, the title track details the evolution of a closet freak whose new party life outgrows her Dr. Frankenstein ("I never should have put her in my innovative world"). Meanwhile, the beat throughout is in full effect, setting the stage for the `90s New York club scene where an MC's shout of "scratch, scratch, scratch!" is followed by a screaming guitar solo. Sinister.
