Funk All Y'all [Explicit Lyrics]

From URB Magazine
Where oh where to lump the Detroit Grand Pu Bahs? Too syncopated and cartoonish for techno, too stiff and unwavering to be classified as funk - maybe we can think of them as ghetto-tech's first crossover attempt and sidestep the "file under" issue altogether. Tracks like "Ride," "One Hump or Two" and the unavoidable "Sandwiches" get by on that oddly compelling flatness of production that DJ Zap and Disco D favor in their sets, but the lyrical skankiness of Paris the Black Fu (who, with producer Andy Toth, makes up the Pu Bahs) is far more subtle than something like "I got freaks/that lick ass cheeks" (a recent DJ Assault chorus). If ghetto-tech is to techno what Dr. Dre is to hip-hop, then the Pu Bahs are its Nate Dogg. Or something like that.

As the Detroit dance artists with the largest record deal in quite some time, the Pu Bahs know a lot's riding on Funk All Y'all and intend to prove they're no one-trick novelty act. So along with the aforementioned booty percolators, there is "After School Special," an ode to a woman lost to prostitution, complete with melancholy, Adult.-style female vocals, and "Rain," a totally unexpected tribute to minimal/dubby Chain Reaction techno that closes the album. Nothing else here is nearly as infectious as "Sandwiches," but with its seamless three-song electro medley, Dr. Octagon-inspired (bitten?) gyno-exam skit ("Dr. Bootygrabber") and swirling Add N to (X) stomach-churner ("Plasticene Gene"), Funk All Y'all has something for almost everyone - just not much in the way of cohesiveness.

Rap metal has been around ever since 1986 when Run-DMC and Aerosmith joined forces for a remake of "Walk This Way," but it took nearly a decade for Rage Against the Machine to bust the floodgates wide open. Soon after, a stream of percussive hellraisers including Korn, Downset, and Deftones infiltrated the metal market, and they, in turn, sired a new breed fronted by acts like Snot and Limp Bizkit. Three Dollar Bill Y'All, Limp Bizkit's debut album, is a tempestuous collection of divergent styles. Unlike metal acts that try to get "dope," but lack the hip-hop background to legitimately fuse the two genres, Limp Bizkit--which features Wes Borland and House of Pain member DJ Lethal--have the know-how to groove and grind. And instead of launching a one-dimensional Blitzkrieg, Limp Bizkit mixes up its rhythms and tempos to keep its listeners guessing. --Jon Wiederhorn

Limp debut showed some promise.....didn't deliver on it in the long run........2007-05-14

This is LB's heaviest album, and many people who like their work from Significant Other onwards may only like a couple of songs on here, because they tend to be more raw-sounding and in-your-face. Of course, everyone bought this because of "Faith", more than likely. I think the first half of this album was good and I like this heavy side of LB, but then they figured out how to sell records and in turn, sold out. LB was considered cool when I was finishing high school and entering college, but now they are kind of looked on with contempt. I think they had their place in music history, albeit not a big one, and they aren't meant to be taken too seriously. They were fun, but their career has run it's course. They peaked in 1999-2000, and it has been a long fall ever since. Still, on occasion, I bring out the old LB albums for some mindless fun at parties. And that's about it.

This is great!!.......2007-03-04

This CD is great!!! Lots of good tracks, and a really fun album!! This is not their best, although it is amazingly cool!! I recommend any of Limp Bizkit's CD's!! My personal favorites are Counterfeit, Sour, and Faith. But there all great, so buy this!! Oh and to the person said that thrash metal is better the Nu-metal, here is a big "F you"!! Your wrong and thrash metal is not very good at all, so get a life!!!

It was ok for its time but that was a DECADE AGO!.......2006-08-16

Oh man, this sucks really bad. Good thing nu-metal is dead. THRASH METAL IS REAL METAL, this is for posers.

Fred Durst should have never been born..................................2006-07-20

Limp Bizkit are the perfect testimony as to why the music industry is going downhill. If any A&R person signed this band - even ten years ago, they would have been shot. Fred Durst is a f***ed up psycopath that should have his head squashed by a steam roller and after that- they should flush peices of his brain down the toilet. His body should be thrown in an unmarked grave - with no memory of him whatsoever. And the fact that guitar player Wes Borland got in the magazine "Guitar legends" is a sick joke. He can't even play guitar - let alone churn out any decent riffs. The whole music industry owes the world an apology for for making Fred Durst famous - because now were stuck with him. This band is no more than a warning to kids that if you suck, you pay for it.

Been there, done that.......2006-07-08

you know them... you hate them.... or.... you love them.... it really is that simple. Bar none... their best album is this. It always was, and always will be!

More funk for your behind.......2003-07-15

The Detroit Grand Pubahs' music has roots in funk, and hip hop, with overtones of electroclash, jazz, and just straight up insanity. The intro 'Lost Files of Funk' starts out like a nightmare in a zoo and then explodes into the thunmping beat, trumpets, and catchy, goofy lyrics of 'Funk All Ya'll'. 'Sandwiches' is their first single you heard in the clubs, I think that's Howard Stern's Beetlejuice doing a cameo. You might've heard 'Ride' too if you have a subscription to URB. 'Offbeat Killer' is one of my favorite tracks, starting with muffled organ notes and then going into a stark, funky, dark, slammin beat with more crazy lyrics. 'Artificial Intelligence' is tight too, with a touch tone phone bringing in some straight up electro. The album finishes with 'Rain.' Surreal, and the smoothest track on album, it makes you think of driving your car home at night in, you guessed it, the rain. More words that can be used to describe 'Funk All Ya'll', crazy, psycho, goofy, heavy, funky, bass thumping, stark, and very creative to name a few. Overall the album incorporates many genres, that make it hard to put in a category, one of the very resons I dig it so much. A very good buy for those who have open musical taste, a sense of humor, and an addiction to bass and funk.

(3 1/2 Stars) Scary.......2003-04-30

The Detroit Grand Pubahs are frightening. Most of the songs on here scared me, then I laughed at them. I don't know if this cd is a big joke or what, but man, it's so weird. Dr. Bootygrabber is just hilarious, offbeat killer is very scary and also very funny, and plasticine gene is a pretty good song. I really don't know where to classify this album. It's by far one of the strangest things I've ever heard. I'm not sure if I should recommend this to people because a lot of people probably hate it. I think it's pretty good, certainly entertaining. If you like fat beats and weird vocals/dialogue, be daring and try this.
