4.0 out of 5 stars The end of an era, October 14, 2005

By	joehiphophead (Kansas city) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Derelicts of Dialect (Audio CD)

I remember listening to this in elementary school and I still pull it out every now and then to remember what it was like when radio rap actually meant something. This album is starting to show its age and that is the reason for the four star rating but it still has some timeless classics on it that I will always listen to. Third bass will be remembered as one of the most influentual Hiphop groups of the 90s forget about Vanilla Ice and his two minutes of fame these cats had some true talent and have influenced countless B-boys and B-girls of this generation. Prince Paul produced several of the tracks on this disc and it is pretty much a skip free listen all the way through. Lyricly these guys were great and added a sense of humor into their music with their word play and use of skits. If you are looking for some old school Hiphop with some substance and some true talent and want to find that place in time when true MCs really shined this may just be your album

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rap, five stars when it came out in 91, August 1, 2005

Third Bass was at the top of the world back in 91. They transcended race and they came off as legit rappers. But for some reason, they didn't stay together and they only made two albums, this one and the cactus album from the year before. I know it's not popular to say this, but I liked Pop Goes the Weasel. I think they were just messin' with the Vanilla Man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Professor Prince Pa-haul!, May 15, 2003

Just picked this up on CD after my old tape couldn't be found. Back in the day I was in 7th grade, so I didn't really pay attention to the producers. Checked the liner notes today...Prince Paul is the producer behind 5 of the masterpieces on this album, including the title track and Herbalz in your Mouth. It just solidifies his place in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame.

Oh yeah, this is about 3rd Bass...its a shame this is their second and final album. At the time they were one of the best groups around, right up to par with the Native Tongue Fam(DeLa,Tribe,BlackSheep) At all times hilarious, smart, and damn smooth. Just read the #3 on your telephone, thats all you need to know.
