5.0 out of 5 stars Much older than '95, January 19, 2003

This is an unbelievable album. Old school hip hop meets metal samples! Bang your head to this. FYI---I had a cassette copy of this album (long since lost or eaten), recommended by a friend (good call Rick), at least as early as 1991. Which I think makes it even more ahead of its time. Wouldn't mind having it on cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic to be..., December 16, 2002

These fellas help to put SAMOA on the hip-hop map! Creating a style all their own, Boo-Yaa represents a new flavor of West Side, funk-infused hip-hop that was definitely ahead of its time. If you enjoy the classic 808 bass lines of 80's rap you'll be pleased to find it here. RID commands the mic, with great back up from the others. The opening track is perhaps the strongest of all with RID declaring what Boo-Yaa is all about. "Walk the Line" provides that great old-school family picnic jam. All of the other tracks hoist strengths of their own. All in all, if you're looking for something different from the cookie cut-out hip-hop that commands the radio stations in our day, this album will serve you with what you need!

5.0 out of 5 stars BOO YAA!!!, September 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: New Funky Nation (Audio CD)

Well, I dont agree with the review that I previously read but these Hamos can jam. 6 brothers who learned the hard way that selling drugs and gangbanging aint the way to live. They paint vivid scenes with the backdrop of old school funk. Makes me want an afro, bellbottoms and platforms. The New Funky Nation album makes the rump bump ; ). Check out their other albums too! Although they are not quite the same they are great albums to listen to all the same!
