4 out of 5 stars It's Diggity Das EFX (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-06-29

Dang, I remember back in the early 90's when I was just a kid when the radio used to blast "Mic Checka" by Das EFX. That single reached #1 on the Billboard back in '92. Listening to Das EFX some 15 years later, I notice the origonal style "iggity", and how everyone jocked it. But Drayz and Scoob dropped the style first, and the "iggity" type rhymes could be found all over this album.

"Mic Checka" was a dope song as the lead off song. Another song that stood out was "They Want EFX" with it's bumping beat, and head jerking rhymes. You also have more bumping tracks like "Looseys" which is about girls, and "If Only" as well. I would say the best track would be the last track "Straight Out The Sewer" as both Drayz and Skoob both kick dope verses.

As for anything bad. I personally thought the "iggity" style was a little repetative. I can't be mad though, because that was Das' style and it was completely origonal, and had everyone bitting it. Nowadays if you'll get laughed at for using that style like Das EFX did. But back in '91, rap was fun and origonal, so it's all cool.

Dead Serious is almost a classic in my opinion. With production by Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith of EPMD, you can expect a lot of great beats on here, as it sort of reminds me of Redman's Whut? Thee Album. 10 tracks deep with very little flaws, there is not much to ask for. Also this album is edited (a lot of early 90's rap never came with parantal advisory stickers), so expect a couple of edits in a few songs. They would follow up in '93 with Straight Up Sewaside. If you're a fan of origonal 90's rap, I recommend you check this out. Peace!

5 out of 5 stars GOTTA GIVE THEM PROPS FOR INSPIRING SHARKS LIKE BONE DID LATER ON.......2007-01-30

look here, i have heard so many different views about diggy das that it is not even funny. now yes, when you hear it now, it does sound a bit corny, but if it sounds like this, then a lil corny with butter sounds pretty doggone good to me. i remember when i first heard this in alabama, i was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT IS THIS???!!!??? then it came to where i am from, and instantaneously it was like BAM! all over the place. if you like head noddahs, then this joint will satisfy. if you like overrated garble like nelly, then get nelly and get away from me please...................GIMMIE MY DAS!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars!!!.......2006-09-11

The perfect party LP. Funky raps with a high influence on wordplay to come. A LOT of MC's used their style but no one does it like they do. If you're lookin for a great old school feel w/not such a serious approach, look no further.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant.......2006-08-05

Its hard to believe that they made this so many years ago. This is so original that it is hard to believe that anyone came up with it. They have had so many trademark aspects to their music, and many artists since then have tried to duplicate it and get the same effect. But in this case, as with many others, nothing is better (or even close) to the original. Get this CD as soon as you can and you will know what I am talking about.

5 out of 5 stars It's hard being before your time......................2006-06-25

However, Das should be getting residual checks from everyone who bit pieces of their iggetty style, such as Snoop,Kriss Kross, Fu-schnickens,Lords of the Underground and countless others. It's hard putting a group that was so fantastic coming out gate in the one hit wonder category. Roming the sewer lines was only going to be cool for so long. But when they were hot, Das Efx was the issh. The whole album is a classic for those in the know. Check it out, it still bumps.

    Album Description

    Musical humorist, serious vocalist, Kacey Jones, deftly mixes clever commentary with flat-out great sound on this, her first-ever, LIVE solo CD. Recorded before a sold-out crowd at the legendary Bluebird Cafe' in Nashville, here's what co-producer and engineer, Vaughn Skow, has to say: "I've recorded many LIVE albums, but never one like this. No words can adequately describe the manner in which Kacey dominated the room that night. It was truly electric and proves, once again, that a great entertainer needs no more than an acoustic guitar and a microphone to produce magic." Four bonus studio tracks round out this fabulous FUN-filled evening with Miss Jones.
