As with their last hit, Elephunk, Black Eyed Peas' new disc Monkey Business is a joyful cross-genre journey with musical props to hip-hop, rock, folk, funk, and pop. The reason the Black Eyed Peas have audience appeal that crosses over many styles is because the band members are such obvious fans of diverse music. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Monkey Business's high-profile guest list. After Justin Timberlake's contribution to the massive "Where Is the Love" breakout hit from Elephunk, their inclusion of big names once again was a smart, respectful move on the part of the band as well as their guests. "My Style" is Timberlake's BEP foray number two; while the song is funky pop fun, those looking to hear Justin in the forefront are likely to be disappointed, as his vocals are mixed evenly, no sweet soulful solos this time. Other guests of note are Jack Johnson, who cowrote the bling-bashing "Gone Going," Sting on "Union" (sonically inspired by the former Police-man's "Englishman in New York"), while funk legend James Brown contributes to a scorching soul track dubbed "They Don't Want Music." The contribution of female vocalist Fergie--who joined the band partway through their last CD--has raised up considerably on the band's fourth disc, their second as a quartet. Sassily fronting her way through songs like "My Humps," the "Hey Mama"-esque "Dum Diddly" and the first single "Don't Phunk With My Heart," Fergie's melodic contributions make for a record that will likely be heard by wider audiences than ever, making this a truly accessible `hip-pop' CD. --Denise Sheppard

great beat easy to dance to.......2007-03-31

This CD is great from the first song to the last, I just wish that they would play them more on the radio. We love the BLACK EYED PEAS!!!

the black eyed peas are the business, the monkey business.......2007-03-22

Fun!.......2007-03-13

This is just a fun CD. It makes you want to dance.
We listen to this in the Operating Room and it makes the atmosphere less tense.

NOTHING LESS THAN 5 STARS.......2007-02-13

New to this genre, I am blown away! Variety, beat, talent... I can not get to my other cds. CAN NOT agree with other unimpressed reviewers. Listen once, listen twice... Listen to that complex music and those words!!!!

Pretty good.......2007-01-31

I got this a a gift, so at first I was not sure if I wanted to keep it of sell it, as I am not really a BEP fan. In all honesty I know very little about this band, a song or two here and there. I decided to keep it and give it a try, I don't like the popular "hits" that much from this album, but was suprised at some of the really good album tracks. The players are very good on this album. There is a real sense of old school funk here that I really like.
I guess you never know what you will like till you give it a try.

They call it "hood rock," but with their debut album, Atlanta's Shop Boyz accomplish something keener than that phrase suggests. With Rockstar Mentality, former mechanics Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower and cousins Demetrius "Meany" Hardin and Richard "Fat" Stephens have coalesced their image as succinctly as any hip-hop group in recent memory. Lead single "Party Like a Rockstar" eclipsed all previous speed records for digital music distribution, capped by the sale of a million ringtones in the track's first six weeks, and though the album's only real "rock" is the committed use of live guitar throughout, these songs nevertheless pay vocal tribute to rock stardom at every opportunity. The title track forces the issue most obviously; "Rollin'"--the Boyz' professed favorite--motors forth on a bass hook pulled right out of the Beach Boys; and "My Car" keeps pace with yet another deeply thumping ode to the joys of automobile ownership. Make no mistake, from the first shout-out of their native "Bowen Homes" to the unrelenting battery of uninspiring rhymes, Rockstar Mentality is urban-radio-ready hip-hop through and through, but the trio's savvy self-image might just corral enough rock-n'-roll, grease-monkey cred to elevate the Shop Boyz' from mentality to reality. --Jason Kirk

Album Description

It all happened so quickly. Or so it seems. One day Sheed, Meany and Fat were grease monkeys at a makeshift garage in their Bowen Homes neighborhood, the next they were swiftly-rising hip-hop stars, progenitors of a growing musical movement they call ``hood rock.'

But like most overnight successes, Shop Boyz's rise to fame took many years. Cousins Demetrius "Meany" Hardin and Richard "Fat" Stephens grew up with best friend Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower in the notorious Bankhead area of Atlanta, the stomping ground of some of the city's most successful hip-hop artists. They worked on cars, hustled, did whatever they could to make ends meet and when their work was done for the day, they turned to their true passion: making music. Their unique, groundbreaking style didn't go unnoticed.

Within four months of its release, "Party Like A Rockstar" set off a frenzy of activity at radio and clubs throughout the southeast and spread like wildfire across the country. The electrifying song with its contagious hook appeals to the spirited, carefree rocker in all of us - from school children and working class dads to hard-core hip-hoppers and blue-haired, Mohawk-wearing Punk Rockers. From note one, excited fans begin strumming air guitars, crowd surfing and building mosh pits that rival those of any major rock concert.

It was the perfect introduction to their unique brand of music. As for their definition of the newly-created sub-genre known as `hood rock, Sheed says, "It's got energy and a rock feel to it but at the same time it's all about rocking the club, getting the club charged up.

Shop Boyz's debut CD, "Rock Star Mentality," is a sampling of the creativity and diversity that go into each and every song that this creative collective churns out. Whether they're flossing and having fun on a track like "My Car" or showing respect for their ladies on "She Knows," Shop Boyz tell new stories in new and exciting ways. "Rain Dance," a sure standout, is bound to inspire some new moves on the dance floor. "It's a lot of energy," says Meany. "I think people are gonna like it because you gotta dance to it. It's another movement." And a group favorite, "Rollin'," is a track the guys swear is actually hotter than their blazing "Party Like A Rockstar."

Customer Reviews:

THIS ALBUM IS A MUST BUY!!!.......2007-07-10

This album is energetic and great to listen to! The best songs on the album are: "world on fire," "bowen homes," "party like a rockstar," and "they like me." The dose of rock thrown in really makes this a very unique album. I would DEFINITELY recommend anyone to buy this album!!!

Hood Rock indeed.......2007-06-28

I bop,and pop to party like a rockstar, I thought I was home when I heard bowen home, The album is a must buy. I thought I would have been disappointed, but with tracks like "they like me", "something to talk about", and "world on fire", changed my views very quickly. you could only go wrong if you don't get this album. Totally Dude!!!

Party Like a Rockstar is definitely the SONG OF THE SUMMER!!

This album was recorded like a rockstar........2007-06-24

In other words, the Shop Boyz were drunk off their chairs, and high outta their mind when they recorded this album.

I'm not going to say that the Shop Boyz' debut, Rockstar Mentality, is completely unredeemable; but if you're heard the first single, which I'm sure you have, you've already heard the rest of this album. As lyricists, the Shop Boyz are some of the most mind-numblingly linear I've ever heard. As emcees, their flows are competent enough, but certainly nothing above average. The production? Well, most of the production is pretty tight, to be honest. The production is what really saves this album from being the catastrophy most expected it to be.

The lead single, Party Like a Rock Star, was marketed at just the right time. Kids nowadays are moving away from hip-hop, and focusing their attention on pop-punk groups like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and others cut from the same mould; so, in order to capitalize on some form of rock's resurgance in the mainstream, creating a track such as Party Like a Rockstar was the perfect gimmick, and marketing strategy. Mentioning prominent rock artists like Marilyn Manson and Travis Barker, and even the Osbourne family, was also a strategic move to show that the group has some knowledge of rock music; even though they've publically admitted that's far from the truth. So, with a new brand of "Hood Rock," which is basically the same formula Lil' Jon's followed for the past 5 years, the Shop Boyz released their debut album, hoping to move units based off of this track's success alone.

I don't see that happening too well beyond first week sales. The rest of this album follows the same format as that track, with the exception of the two tracks aimed for the ladies, Baby Girl and Next To Me, both of which are decent, musically. Rollin' was good on first listen, but the Beach Boys influence is just downright corny on second listen. The same can be said about the latin-tinged My Car, which, while pretty dope on the musical side of things, is just downright wack in every other aspect.

David Banner's beat on They Like Me sounds like it would've been better fitted on budget rap album from Koch, such as B.G.'s last group album. It's certainly not some of Banner's work, and you kinda feel bad for David just having his name associated with the track. The fact that Totally Dude is Party Like a Rockstar Pt. II is enough to make you smack each and every one of the Shop Boyz. Flexin' and Bowen Homes are genuinely good hip-hop songs from the ATL group, though.

In the end, the Shop Boyz present an album that is not so much a dissapointment, as it does manage to live up to (at least, my) severely low expectations. The problem is, it never goes beyond those low expectations. Proceed with caution when purchasing this album.

ENERGETIC Hood Rock music.......2007-06-21

Rock meets hip hop. This is good stuff, good tracks...overall a great debut from Atlanta's SHOP BOYZ. ENERGY MUSIC from the HOOD, with a dose of rock to take it to a different level. The album is fun and great to listen to when driving or at club. SHOP BOYZ aren't mocking rock, rather they respect and pay homage to the rockers and more importantly, the rockstar lifestyle. How's your ROCKSTAR MENTALITY? Yall definitely need to pick this up

I really like this Cd, it's a classic, with the title track to be one of those that will live forever. I think Stereo MC's are also worth checking out for some of their other, underrated work.

Fans can never be objective..........2006-04-21

From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...the perfect melting pot of rap and funk. It's impossible to skip over even one track on this CD.

A little unimaginative... but better than I expected........2006-02-23

Bought this CD for one track (connected)... a little early 90s nostalgia.

Not exactly one of my all time favorites, but a good CD for cleaning the house...

Good Driving Music.......2005-09-23

I must say the only reason why I initially bought this album was because of the nostalgia of "Connected" and "Step It Up". After listening to the album though, I was pleased to discover a few gems like "Ground Level", "Playing With Fire" and "Pressure". But unfortunately those are the only songs that really stick out. The rest is just background lounge music. That said, this is still a decent album to listen to - especially on a long drive. I would have given this 2 stars out of 5, but I had to give it an extra star solely on the basis that this it is undeniably quite a creative and original record.

Amazing!.......2005-07-26

I love the Stereo MC's because they provide me with what I feel is missing from most other Hip Hop & Hip Hop influenced Pop and that's good musical production, a variety of sounds and instruments, vocals & lyrics that don't rely on blatant swearing and mindless lyrics about "bitches and hoes", crime, drugs, etc...

I like all the tracks except 3, and the only thing I dont like about track 5 & 13 is the female vocals. My favourites are 1, 7 & 11. By the way, if you like these guys, you might also want to check out the Fun Lovin' Criminals.

Named after the thriving rap subgenre he popularized, Lil' Jon's Crunk Juice makes no claims to be anything but XXX-rated, hip-hop mosh pit music. Three 6 Mafia's crunked-out compositions may predate Lil' Jon's, but Jon's unique production methods continue to dazzle on cuts like "What U Gon' Do," where protégé Lil Scrappy's vocals create jarring audio effects. The trademark futuristic blend of Miami bass, Jamaican dub, electronica, and punk--littered with call-and-response chants--is in full force on "Crunk Juice," "Get Crunk," and "Da Blow." More impressively, he's broadened his crunk palette to include a brilliant rocked-out Rick Rubin collaboration, along with more conventional R&B tunes featuring Usher and R. Kelly--he even looks to D.C.-style go-go beats for inspiration on "Aww Skeet Skeet." The vulgar yet hilarious Chris Rock comedy cameos help make this album a winner, even if it's intentionally zany and lyrically vacuous. --Dalton Higgins

Customer Reviews:

It is what it is! Club music!.......2007-06-02

Does anyone sell singles anymore? This is not a play all the way through type of CD. But neither are many of the "Greats" as the most harshest critics of this bunch have listed! I do think a 'Hits' CD would be better in their case, because it is sad to have to buy a whole CD to listen to a few good songs. It's even sadder though to see people who know they don't have any interest in a group or music genre, write a review out of sheer need to criticize and bash other people's musical choice. Go somewhere and voice an opinion where it matters on something more rediculous than music that you DON'T have to listen to, such as kids passing every class but can't graduate because of TAKS tests, or pitiful health care, or the war or something!

What the hell is this?.......2007-05-31

How on Earth did this ever get accepted as music? Just a bunch of idiots incoherently screaming over some stupid beat. I can't bear to image how bad the next music fad will be.

A Perspective Of An Expert Butcherer.......2007-03-17

Lil Jon is one of the many reasons why rap is given a negative image. Let me give you a list and explain why I loathe this talentless, shameful act and his disgrace towards society:

1. Voice - Just how can that guy's senseless yelling be tolerated? All this guy does is yell. He doesn't even rap. It's just thoughtless, obnoxious "YAY-YAH" over and over (along with some other stuff). I bet his music couldn't even be considered rap if it weren't for all those guest musicians.

2. Plagiarism - The name "Lil Jon" originated from the Robin Hood tale. It may have a slightly different spelling, but it's just bad enough that he could disgrace history like that. He also uses samples from copyrighted songs and completely butchers the purpose and meaning of that song. I mean, is mixing Slayer's "Raining Blood" intro and Lil Jon's abysmal bellowing necessary? Not at all.

3. "Crunk" - This is also meant to be a plagiarism issue as well, as Dirty South rappers were the first one to coin that phrase. However, Lil Jon wants to take all the credit by taking the word and overusing it over and over so that he seems to be the inventor of that word. Sorry, Jon Smith, but you do not possess credit for creating that word. You just made it into a derivative word that people say, yet they probably have no clue what it means (it means to get drunk and baked).

4. Image - Golden grills make you look like some person who cares less about his dental hygeine. Do you ever remove your sunglasses? And your crunk juice is just a marketing scam.

By all means, avoid this annoying, meaningless, plagiarized trash. Rap isn't (mostly wasn't) just like that way, but thanks to your plague, you have given a once tolerable music genre a bad name.

Punk Juice.......2007-03-05

I only liked two songs of this album Real N***a Roll Call(because of Ice Cube) and Grand Finale(T.I., Bun B, Jadakiss' verses were hot but Ice Cube steals the show). Lovers and Friends might have been a great song for the ladies until Lil Jon decided it was a good idea to rap and ruined the old Michael Sterling classic. More Disposables: Da Blow(chopped and screwed up garbage), One Night Stand, Stick That Thing Out(the second worst track on here), Stop F*****g Wit Me(the worst track one here and Lil Jon gets to annoy metalheads with his bad rapping on this rock/rap infusion. Big Plus!), Awww Skeet(What the.....?) and the rest of this album. Bottom Line: Lil Jon is the worst thing to come out of ATL since..........Jermaine Dupri! Dude couldnt flow to save his pathetic life and the guest appearances are just as bad plus his beats are too redundant now. Besides those two songs that I liked this album should be avoided like a Jehovah's Witness passing out watchtowers.

Any record that leads off with Dick Vitale's ubiquitous jabberings is asking for trouble, and this third volume in the Jock Jams series is musically ill-equipped to pull out of the ensuing tailspin. The collection of inoffensive rap songs and R&B-tinged dance numbers does have a few highlights. KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way I Like It," regardless of what sort of material it shares company with here, is a classic, and Blackstreet kick out a decent rhyme with Dr. Dre on "No Diggity." On the whole, it might even make a passable soundtrack for an aerobics class. Besides that, however, you'll have to swim through a lot of musical filler and testosterone-driven flotsam to find anything that rises above an overwhelming and acute mediocrity. --Matthew Cooke

Anyone who pays full price for this is gonna be pissed. Name one Jock who listens to this crap. I just can't imagine professional athletes listening to Da' Dip on their way to a game. I think these CD's should not be taken seriously because they are way too funny to be for real.

Jock Jams Volume 3 is quite possibly the best in the series. It stars off with Dick Vitale's It's Awesome Baby speech, which kicks right into Tribal Dance by 2Unlimited (Remember them?) which is full of energy. Right after that is Republica's super hit Ready To Go and Tito Nieves's I Like It Like That, which is definately a classic. Quad City DJs have made it on to most dance compilations, and this one is no exception. C'Mon Ride The Train is one of the best songs on the album. Freak Nasty provides a pretty good track that is a combination of dance and rap. Crush provides yet another dance classic with Jellyhead, and then Blackstreet gives us their hit No Diggity with Dr. Dre. The next few tracks however are nothing exceptional until you hit Livin' Joys song Don't Stop Moving, which is as close to perfect as you can get. Then Rednex performs a strange combination of country and dance on Cotton Eye Joe, followed by a great Jock Jam megamix, which features many other popular songs at that time which didn't make the compilation. The album ends with Ray Castoldi's chicken dance. Overall, this is a very fun album that works well for parties.

Wham! Bam! Slam! It's Awesome, Baby!.......2000-08-02

Jock Jams Volume 3 is one good album. It will definately get you pumped up.

Every song on this album gets my blood pumping. Hearing Dick Vitale first just set me up for the rest of this fast cd. "C'mon & Ride It," "I Like It Like That," and "That's the Way I Like It" are probably the three most well-known singles, but other great songs like "Da' Dip" and the thunderous "Tribal Dance" make this album super.

This album has something for everybody on it. Ending with "The Chicken Dance" was classic. This album is a great buy with 22 tracks on it, and it more than satisfies you with fast pumping entertainment. What are you waiting for? "Don't Stop, Get It, Get It!"

It REALLY gets on your nerves!.......2000-02-27

My sister got this cd and she plays it all the time. It gets soooo annoying. I was sick of it the second time I heard it. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars is because it is good to make up gymnastics routines to. But other than that it is a TOTAL waste of money!

Despite the incredible creativity of hip hop, its ability to throw up new styles, to morph and reinvent itself, it's not every day that something genuinely fresh drops in front of you. Welcome, then, to "YoYoYoYoYo", the debut album from Spank Rock. Drawing on the music of their hometown, Baltimore, Spank Rock make something genuinely unlike any record you've heard before. Of course there are antecedents, but at just under forty two minutes, Spank Rock have managed to reconfigure the musical landscape around them by being funny, catchy, clever, fearless and most of all, innovative.

And because it one-ups the likes of Little Jon, think on the level of 2livecrew and dj assault, AND the fact that each song is really smart ("Rick Rubin" is a great example of how smart the lyrics are), Spank Rock becomes straight genious.

The production is out of this world! The Baltimore club influence is strong, but with a funk and edge all its own. This album is in my top 5 all time, namely because it took me by surprise. Even those who don't generally like hiphop can appreciate this new genre that Spank Rock is creating, a electro-indie-rap-mash up. You could say that a fan of Girl Talk could easily transition to Spank Rock. Then maybe move on to Plastic Little.

These guys rock..........2007-02-22

I knew I would be biased from the get go since I know Naeem aka Spank Rock, but I must say that the album is truely impressive. Their style is definitely original and fills a gap of what the music scene is missing. Just listening to their music makes you want to party like a rock star.

yo, listen up, yo!.......2007-01-17

I don't know how I missed this one in 2006. I haven't been too interested in hip hop lately, that is until i got this. I loved the stuff by APC, and Sage Francis always impressed. Clouddead's first release, as well as some stuff by Bleubird blew me away. Those guys were all taking things forward, to the next level.But unlike all those artists, Spank Rock, despite the seriously sick skills, should not be taken as seriously as those artists.

Anyhow, while falling asleep to Jimmy Kimmel one night, these guys took the stage towards the end of the program and made me jump out of my seat. By luck, this was at the local cd shop for a real nice price the next day, so i grabbed it. Honestly, the lyrics are a little juvenile for my liking, but again, I'd be foolish to take this too seriously. From the opening beats of "Backyard Betty" on to the very end, this lp doesn't let up for a second. It's a short sharp trip through some of the sweetest beats and rhymes I've heard in a long time. The minimal lo-fi style reminds me of some of Grand Buffet's best stuff, though a little better produced perhaps. Also, there are hints of UK garage and some excellent, nasty, spacey sounds going on throughout. I can see the indie crowd digging this much more than the generally narrow-minded hip-hop status quo, which is too bad, 'cause this stuff is truly fresh sounding--where hip hop should be right about now. I'm glad I took a chance on this one and look forward to more from Spank Rock and co. I give it a five for originality in a hip hop world gone stale.

This jaunt is bumpin, yo..........2006-10-30

It's like somebody put some Lil Jon on the stove and just left it there simmerin and simmerin. When they caught it, only the essence was left --this is it. The product is like just a bunch of neutrons and string theory an all that plus some extra funk in there. Spank will be on Da Muthaship. No question about that. Now he can just relax. You should get this record and do the same.

Not just a Mix Tape.......2007-07-18

So like I kept holding off on this one because it looked like another mix tape. Club shenanigans and all that. And while that may be so to a point, the album is the JAM. Spank himself drops lyrics on a couple songs with the ferocity of my old man dropping the kids off at the pool (Drop the Pressure and the 80s classic Talking In Your Sleep). Couple that with a tight selection of sparkling songs from the fast few decades plus guest spots by Amanda and Pase (Lindsay Lohan's Revenge anybody?). Take this to any party, play it front to back and watch the rocks go off.

Not to be missed. Not to be missed.

Great CD.......2007-02-26

I was happy to find this CD.. Very Hard to find a new copy of this.Well worth the looking though.

A classic?.......2006-08-03

This just furthers my argument even more. Just because an album is more than 10 years old by a "legendary" group doesn'tmean that it's good or even a classic. This is classh** at its finest. I actually owned this album at one point when I was young and stupid. But i wasn't that stupid cause I got rid of it quick. You mean to tell me this album is derived from true creativity from ones heart. Lyrics that mean somethin. Thats what hip hop is all about and this is not a hip hop album. There is nothin creative about this album at all. Its a dance album for freaks. Now if you lookin at this from that point of view, then I guess this is a 5 star album. But for someone to call this a hip hop classic you have no idea what a hip hop classic is. You just don't. Damn can the state of hip hop be so f***ed up when anything by 2 LIve Crew can be considered worth owning, let alone being called a classic? If you give this 5 stars,then trash garbage rappers the likes of Chingy, Nelly, Trina, Khia, Camron, DFB, D4L. then your the biggest hypocrite typing reviews on amazon. 2 Live Crew in my opinion, lyrically is in the top 5 of the worst rappers in history. And they are just as one dimensional as your most hated rapper. If you don't believe me just scope out ALL their album covers and song titles. And ask yourself can you really call these bums artist. Seriously I cant get it through my head why somebody over the age of 18 would actually by this s***. I just cant.

Not worth much anymore.......2006-06-29

This may have been fun to listen to...16 years ago. A lot of the music from back then has aged into some of the best music of all time. This has not. This CD is just not that good to be honest with you. It is very immature (which is not a bad thing), but you can tell, like the reviewer below me has said, that they lived off of controversy and not true talent. If you want some real rap, or just good music in general, I think that you should look elsewhere.

pure trash.......2006-06-08

I have to say, this CD is pretty bad. The songs on it are just pointless chants and words that should never have been said. I am not a fan of censorship, so i do not think that this should be censored, but it is everyones own choice to buy this or not, and trust me, this rap group only lives off the controversy, not talent, so don't buy it.

A waste of time....don't bother..........2006-02-19

I bought this album when I was young (like many others here). I did it because 2 Live Crew were being censored at the time, and I was under the influence of "support the artist from the government censors". Unfortunately, many bands and filmmakers use this as a marketing tool, so people like me (and many others reviewers here) rush out and buy the garbage they're putting out. Most of the rap albums I bought over my life were the result of this phenomenon. 2 Live Crew are/were a bunch of idiotic rappers who just liked talkin' dirty. The first few times you hear this, it's kind of funny. It quickly wears off, and you're left with a really dumb album by a bunch of really dumb guys pretending that they're saying something worthwhile, when they don't even come close. So a lot of us got suckered into buying this junk, such is life. It's really shallow and just a waste of time.
