Yo, my loc Steffon can't stand it!, January 27, 2006
This review is from: Trippin Wit No Luggage (Audio CD)
Steffon did only this joint for Ruthless back in 93'. It was produced by Rhythm D and executive produced by Eazy-E. Cool production work by Rhythm. The album works because it is indicative of the early 90's G-Funk sound, which was very popular. Rhythm defintely was influenced by Dr. Dre and Cold 187um, who is the originator of the G-Funk sound. No guest appearances on this album. Its all Steffon on this dope joint, he has a laid back flow that works well with the production work. His topics include smoking sweat evergreen cavi, loose women, and selling out. The single off the album was "Frostbit" and its a story about a black kid named Ronnie who sells out and tries to be white. Ronnie gets dissed by the white, then dissed by the black, and so he is Frostbit, Uncut Funk is an awsome funky hit by Steffon, Steffon gets his mack on song Young & Trippin' which is a chronic blowin' hit with a tight G-funk, and my favorite I Can't Stand It, which is just plane sick & ill, and probably the best joint on Steffon's album. The album could have been stronger with some appearances from other Ruthless signees of the time, such as MC Ren, Above The Law, Dirty Red, Dre'sta or even the main man himself, Eazy-E. The album was never marketed after its release and so suffered and went unnoticed into the oblivion. However, if you can find a copy, its got some great music. Much luv to Steffon's homies Frost, Pistol, B.G. Knocc Out & Dre'sta, Dirty Red, Above The Law, Brownside, ALT, Mr. Shadow, Blood Of Abraham, Rhythm D & Eazy-E.
