4.0 out of 5 stars
Cool Single, September 3, 2007
This review is from: Showdown (Audio CD)
E-A-Ski is a dope Mobb Music-G-Funk producer from Oakland who never gets the credit he deserves. His beats are hard, yet often melodically sophisticated. He is a gangsta rapper too, and flexes his skills with Montell Jordan's cool hook vocals on 1997's "Showdown." It was supposed to be from a 1997 or early 1998 album called Earthquake; I wonder what happened to that album!?! The beat is hard and heavy, with keyboard twang. There are 4 other tracks that dissapoint, not because of the beats, but the length. They average a minute and a half long each! The beats are his typical mobb-funk, and are very well done. I like the whiny synths on "Earthquake" f/ Ice Cube, and the twangy P-Funky "Mad Doggin" f/ Jayo Felony and "Welcome To California;" it just sucks that they are not full-length joints because they woulda been hits in my opinion. The beats and spits are hard and tight. The single gets 4 stars due to the beats, and the full-length banger "Showdown." I wonder if the album was never released, or if it is one of those hella rare, can't find anywhere albums . I bet it woulda been a straight banger.
