What white supremacists need to hear.......2007-01-09

This is what white supremacists need to hear! Skillfully composed and the two best tracks are Panther Power and The Devil Made Me Do It.

This album in one word: CLASSIC!.......2006-10-19

Standout tracks: SCARFACE GROOVE, THIS IS A TEST, PANTHER POWER, BREAK THE GRIP OF SHAME, WARNING, EBONY(this color called ebony), BRUTAL(sounds a little like LL in the second half of this song), THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, THE HATE THAT HATE MADE, MELLOW MADNESS(on a jazz tip), I CALL HIM MAD(DJ Mad Mike is crazy!), ESCAPE FROM BABYLON, WRETCHED etc. Filler: NONE! Bottom Line: Paris is one of the most underrated and most lyrically prolific emcee of all time and this album is proof of that! He doesnt waste time trying to be a studio gangster instead he is more focused on spreading knowledge through the music and that I can respect. If you like Dead Prez, Public Enemy, The Coup, The old Ice Cube etc then you're going to love Paris because he is right up their alley.

Hip-Hops best Unknown Secret.......2006-02-09

Paris is one of the many hip-hip artist from the early 1990's that didnt get alot of airplay, and mainly sold records on word of mouth. Let me tell you that even though Paris's other releases aren't as strong as this, "The Devil Made me Do It" has flavor that most hip-hop has lost today, and that is dealing with racial tensions, political issues, and Black History (ex..Black Panthers) The beats are also mind blowing, and this album is very Hard for the time that it was released. Even though the album is somewhat dated, it still is a treasure, and I hope people that are infactuated with todays hip-hop could take a few steps back and pick up an album of such importance. This CD belongs in EVERYONES collection. Its that good! (i only gave if 4 stars because even though it is a classic, there are some poor filler tunes here) ENJOY

Quite possibly misinformation.......2005-11-29

I have yet to review this album, but wanted to comment on R.Williams review of this album. Williams printed a statement that Oscar "Paris" Jackson is dead. I do not beleive rumours without credible evidence so I did some internet research. From a national news report I read that in 11/05 a man named Taurus Jackson who is a promotions director for the west coast rap group 'Tha Coup' was shot and killed during an apparent home invasion robbery. The story went on to say that many others had confused Mr.Jackson with Paris. Paris was reached and is alive and well, or so I read. Williams review, although not fabricated, goes to prove that this site should be used for album reviews only and not a gossip column. I do plan to review this album after I receive it. As for R.Williams, perhaps he/she should print a retraction.

Now a Must Have.......2005-11-17

Just read this morning that Paris was shot and killed. Came here to check out the artist, because I'd never heard of him. What a shame; this is a must have for the collection.

THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT!!!.......2007-03-16

How did I find out about Paris? I was up north and I went to FYE and saw his second album(Sleeping With The Enemy) staring me in the face. I picked it up, listened to it, and fell in love with the whole album. I bought the rest of his albums from Amazon and lets just saw I dont regret buying them at all. If you love political hip hop then you must support Paris. Listen to this album and you'll see why he was intentionally kept away from us. Standout Tracks: SCARFACE GROOVE, THIS IS A TEST, PANTHER POWER, BREAK THE GRIP OF SHAME, WARNING, EBONY(this color called ebony), BRUTAL(somewhat sounds like LL in the second half of this track), THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, THE HATE THAT HATE MADE, MELLOW MADNESS(on a jazz tip), I CALL HIM MAD(DJ Mad Mike was on fire!!!), ESCAPE FROM BABYLON and WRETCHED. Filler:NONE! Bottom Line: Paris gives you what you want from this excellent debut. Political and social commentary just the way you true lovers of hip hop like it. Make this album a definite part of your collection.

CD was shipped to me in great condition ........ it's a great addition to my collection.

Bout Time.............2004-12-29

It's about time someone came out bringing something new to a industry that has been so watered down for the past umpteen years. There's a song on this album for every occassion (Club stuff, Real life stuff, Love Stuff, etc.) Sleep on it if you want cuz later on all I could say is I told you so. Be apart of the movement GX is on some for real stuff with their music. Troublesome-GX is focused and I could tell he didn't just start writing. His flow is bananas. Also look for Troublesome-GX hip-hop/comedy tour coming to a city near you.

Sweet funk........2006-11-22

I search far and wide for some good hard funk and this joint definitely fits the bill. Sure, there are a few ballads (not a big fan of them) on here, but the rest is pure lead slabs of goooooood funk. Don't pass this one up. If you dig Mandrill or some of the older Cameo stuff you'll like this.

Nasty Funk/Soul Head Music.......2003-09-03

I will try my best to keep this review as simple as possible, But I must say that everything the above reviewer said is true in reference to this funky piece. This is a long lost gem worth digging up from any crate you can find it in.

The group puts me in the mind of other great funk groups from the same era but at the same time has elements that cannot be classified or said to be knocked off from another group's style...Truly a style of their own. When I listen I hear hints of spices from groups like Mandrill, Ripple, Black Heat, Parliament/Funkadelic-Bootsy, but also a dash of Leroy Hutson (whom was actually Rasputin Stash's lablemate on Curtom). At times, The violins paint Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra's hypnotizing stringwork on the canvas. True, While Barry & Leroy were not widely considered Funk artists, Rasputin Stash managed to incorporate sweet soul into their nasty funk creating a distinct style and that is what stands out on this disc for me.

This piece is a must have for crate diggers interested in top-notch nasty funk. You simply cannot like 70's funk and not like this groups talent. The instrumentation on the funk tracks is without a doubt NASTEEEEE but check this....These cats can actually SING! Just dig the ballads.

Martin Dumas Jr, The brother on the cover that sits on the bike with the blow-out fro and lambchop sideburns topped off with the pointed goatee (I guess the devil made him do it), plays lead & rhythm guitar but can also sing...his guitar licks put me the in mind of Isaac Hayes "Shaft" at times (Listen to how he chops & scratches the Wah-Wah guitar on The Devil Made Me Do It) but also his singing has a Frankie Beverly type mellow and the music on certain tracks has a Maze style...the sound is rich and clean with everything up front creating the perfect feel. Did I mention that these cats can sing??? ha! Dig the harmony on cuts such as "I See Your Face, I Can Feel Your Jones, Giving Way' My Love & a couple others...These cats are amazing! Martin Dumas on lead/rhythm guitar & vocals, Paul Coleman on keyboards and vocals, Ernest Donaldson on drums & Billy Butler carrying the role as the funky bass player...A'La Larry Graham, Master of the slap-bass style & Mark Adams (Mr.Mark) from funk group "Slave".

I cannot stress how good I feel just hearing this long lost but not forgotten LP re-issued on disc. Unfortunately, Real music like this is now obsolete in these days of the weak,no talent having "so-called" artists that have never even picked up an instrument in all their born days
let alone sing a real note from the heart without the help of voice-boxes and synthesizers....and dig this...MAKE MILLIONS off OF IT! Rasputin Stash along with countless other artists that have never been heard of by the masses never actually got the credit that they were due.

In closing, I would say that this disc is a must have for you if you dig groups like Mandrill, Ripple, Black Heat, Parliament/Funkadelic-Bootsy, Sun, Slave, Ohio Players, The Counts, War, Kool & The Gang (pre JT Taylor)....I can go on and on with great under-appreciated artists. Buy this disc without hesitation funk lovers....I guarantee you like it. Trust me on this! Head Music to the fullest. Just pick your favorite poisons and apply them. Twist up a stogie and get some ice-cold beer. You are in for some good head music.

Tripped Out Soul, Curtom Style !.......2002-12-23

Ouch ! I've refered to this long out of print group in my of my reviews... and here it is...

The best way to describe them is early '70s black rock/funky soul... Typical to most of those Curtom (Curtis Mayfield label)releases the sound is full, fat and thick... you really feel everything from the top to the bottom, the kicks, the snap of snare and conga, the bite of the high hat and rhythm guitar... the screaming vocals. - - A band with a sound of their own, I can only say that if you dig those early '70s black action sound tracks, in fact early '70s soul in general, this group is this bomb. - - Throwing a house party, throw down HIT IT AND PASS PASS IT, I CAN FEEL YOUR LOVE JONES and YOU OPENED UP MY MIND... if the grooves aren't enough to get things smoking, its possible everyone's already litten up a bit too much already ! ! ! (Some great slower jams too !) - - DANCE WITH ME, by the way is JUNGLE FUNK to the extreme (remember the Kay-Gees and James Brown's BODY HEAT ?)

Prior to recording the material from which this compilation comes (early/mid '70s), they recorded an ultra heavy album for Cotillion in 1971... for some reason my copy seems to have disappeared, so if anyone ever sees one floating around, please let me know ! ! !
