ya see, alot of people try to dis old school rappers. But you can't dis Tone loc, he is just to good.

This was the sound track of my life for the summer of 89. I wore out the cassete that i had of it and bought another which i just found and jammed to the other night. So then i thought " I wonder how this would sound on CD"? So as i have done with all my old tapes, i replace them by comming here to amazon. Well shure enough they had it used. I am a 40 year old white guy from Oklahoma and this is an awsome old school rap cd. You should see the Looks i get when rollin' down the block with this booming from my car cd player. I love it!!

it's before the gangsta rap of the ninety's it's not every other word f this and f that. its a goot cd

Ignore the two radio cuts, which were beefed up with hard rock guitar samples for crossover potential, and dance to the spare but utterly funky backing tracks on the rest of this album. I just found my old cassette copy and...this is way funkier than many of the hip-hop albums being released these days. Sometimes Tone is too much "on the beat" and throwing out what you'd expect; other times, like on "Cutting Rhythms", he leaves nice wide spaces between lines to let the words hit.

You will really enjoy this cd when you are going through hard times throughout your young lives. This music will help you as it has helped me. Thankyou for your valued time and cooperation. Peace, Love,& harmony Christina Monaco

Being from the Mid-West, I didn't catch on to Tone's early regional hits, but I do remember the summer of '89 when "WILD THING" hit the top 40 airwaves, and another hip-hop hero was discovered by me-- I didn't finally get around to picking up the album until recently-- but it's worth it-- The Dust Brothers were definitely on-point producers-- who'da figured that they were a couple of white college students?

Tone-Loc. MC extroardinarie. With vocal presentation similar to EPMD's bradadocio rhyme styleTone Loc hits harder then Mac Guire. But the beats are what make this album the classic that it is. Personnally, i had to pick up the three 12" singles from this album on vinyl cause the beats were so dope and I needed the INSTRUMENTALS. The singles really do stand out. First there was "On Fire" b/w "Cheeba Cheeba" (Delicious Vinyl's first ever record). Then came the classic track "Funky Cold Medina", which has the ILL guitar choords (D and E and C) and where Young MC first showcased his unique rhyme flow; later to give fan the classic "bust a Move". Then "Wild Thing" (which if you remember is the music playing as (actor) John Candy struts down the hall in Uncle Buck) came out. What more can I say. Loc-ed After Dark is dope. BUY THE CD.

Tone Loc doesn't really get much credit for spawning the west coast rap scene but he was one of the first back in tha 80's. great albulm great beats and it's a huge break from all that west and east coast gangsta rap that you hear nowadayz. old skool rulez!
