This review is from: Swass (MP3 Download)

I kind-of chuckle at having "customer ratings" on albums online. You can review a vacuum and describe its features, how it works, its performance, etc. You can't really do that with music. It's based on opinion, not objectivity.

Well, I guess I could makes some objective comments about this album. It is pretty much like other rap albums -- primarily filled with baseless self-aggrandizement and hollow threats against real or imagined rival rappers. It objectifies women and promotes materialism. But you expected all that, so that's not going to affect your purchase decision.

So an album review really becomes a defense of the music or an attack on it. Because I was introduced to this album on a 10-hour road trip with three other teenage friends 20 years ago, it was burned in my head as one of the definitive albums of my youth. Picture Rick in his shades, breathing the "phoo-ha-ha, phoo-ha-ha" of S.W.A.S.S. Picture all four of us doing our best falsetto rap with Kid Sensation on Buttermilk Biscuits and the Squaredance Rap. Picture us playing Rippin' over and over, trying to train our tongues to produce words as fast as Mix-A-Lot's.

And picture us still referring to ourselves as "The Posse" when we got together in Las Vegas last March. Between the four of us who were there we now have 17 children. Times have changed, but we still think we're cool, and we still express that coolness via our love of Sir Mix-A-Lot. Buy the album. You don't know how it will change your life.
