4.0 out of 5 stars
P-funk for real!, February 6, 2005
This review is from: Planet Funk 2 (Audio CD)
This excellent collection of rap is an prime example of what rap music used to be ,insightful,thought-provoking,well-written and still fun to listen and dance to! From Houdini's incisive,intelligent comments on social relationships in"Friends" and the anti-drug anthems of "White Lines" and "Batteram",to " Looking for a Perfect Beat",this cd shows the versalitility and awareness of a hip-hop era where keeping it real meant an examination ,not a glorification of the problems in the 'hood.The bling-bling worship, and consumeristic jingoism hadn't yet undermined rap music,and this collection reflects a perspective of the hip-hop movement and its societal consciousness.Great tunes,great lyrics!Even Sexual Harassment's "I Need A Freak" is a smooth contrast to the over-the-top,tongue-hanging out the mouth misogamy that today's artists mistake for machismo.Good stuff!
