i bought this album when i was real little, and even if it's uneven in parts i played the hell out of it. i recommend sometime busting out the sega genesis, pop in your favorite sonic the hedgehog game and put this on. ah, memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars The first dope white boy., November 10, 2006

This review is from: Return of the Product (Audio CD)

Nowadays, a caucasian emcee being ill isn't exactly newsworthy; underground emcees like Esoteric, Cage, and Apathy, along with mainstream favorite Eminem, have shown that white emcees can kick fly verbals just as well as their darker-pigmented brothers. That wasn't the case when MC Serch's Return Of the Product was released, however; with the exception of the Beastie Boys, about the only other prominent white rappers were Vanilla Ice and Snow. Not good company. While those rappers were releasing chart-topping hits, MC Serch was chilling with Nasty Nas "Back At The Grill."

A sadly underrated emcee, MC Serch is one of the dopest punchline emcees you're gonna find from any era. He may look more like a nerd than anything, with his glasses, his polos, his rather large hair, and carrying a little bit of extra baggage - basically, Serch really was the average man, but he could still flip rhymes with some of the greatest in the game. He dropped knowledge(some of which was 5% science - YES, that's strange, but not awkward at all when you're listening to Serch kick the wisdom) like a long lost member of the Wu, and threw knockout blows like a white Big L.

This being his only solo albums, it's an often overlooked album in the transitional period of hip-hop, from golden-age to modern - while it may not be strictly classic, you can't doubt the dopeness that oozes from this album. Old school tracks with bounce, and an emcee as tight as anyone else at the time - the only thing that really hurts this album is the wear and tear time has taken on it. While it's most definitely dope today, it doesn't hold up as well as an album like Redman's Whut? Thee Album released in the same year, but any head can appreciate this album for it's solid rhythm, and ill lyrics - no pun intended here, but this album was definitely one consistent product. Definitely recommended.
