This Is the Shack [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Dove Shack display much more than the requisite vocal skills on their debut, This Is the Shack. They fly nimbly along a freestyle course that cuts through lyrical rap and R&B crooning on the title cut (which appeared originally on Warren G's Regulate ... G-Funk Era album) and the single "Summertime in the LBC," both instant West coast classics. Unfortunately, the trio never lives up to its promise, opting instead to fill most of the debut with unimaginative raps, misogyny, and racism. --Roni Sarig

Enjoyable, long-forgotten G-Funk album.......2006-11-12

The Dove Shack were introduced to the world on Warren G's classic album "Regulate...G-Funk Era", and following that album they released their own debut. "This Is the Shack" is an entertaining and quite enjoyable album. The trio of BoRoc, Two Scoop, and C-Knight are talented, they have good voices that they sometimes use to sing, and they are pretty good rappers too. BoRoc especially stands out as a great vocal talent, singing most of the hooks. While Warren G doesn't exactly have a presence here, the beats are also good, kind of a grittier g-funk than Warren's soulful stylings, but there's some really good grooves to be found here. There's a lot of great songs on "This Is the Shack" to play for a ride in the car and a fair share of smokin' songs too, and while there are a few cuts worth skipping every time, the good ones make this album worth the purchase. I recommend "This Is the Shack" to fans of mid-90s G-Funk like Tha Dogg Pound or Twinz, even though The Dove Shack is a pretty unique group and doesn't really sound like anyone else.

The first full song is "Smoke Out", a happy, bass-heavy weed song, it has a great vibe to it and there are some cool instrumentals like horns and a heavy drum. The chorus is nice and it's a great song. The next song, "This Is the Shack" is an extended version of the classic featured on Warren G's debut album. It has a longer intro and has an extra singing verse at the end, I love this song and think it's one of the best g-funk songs from the 90s. "Summertime in the LBC" is the second classic on this album, an upbeat R&B duet with BoRoc and a female singer. It's laidback, funky, and happy, I think it's a great song to roll to or chill to. The album is basically downhill from here, the placement of songs isn't great because the best three songs are at the beginning. "Bomb Drop" is totally forgettable, with no visible hook and a boring beat. "F*ck Ya Mouth" has a pretty good beat and hook, it's a decent song. "Freestyle" shows the trio's talent in freestyling but isn't really worth listening to more than once. "Ghetto Life" is an awesome song though, it might be the best on the disc. I love the beat, it has these vibes and heavy bass and it doesn't really sound like any other song I've heard before. They rap about their negative philosophies of growing up in the ghetto, it's their best song lyrically and it has a good hook. "East Side Party" is an upbeat party song, and "Rollin' With a Gang" is a slowed down, funkier track. "We Funk" is really good, soulful and joyful sounding, and "There'll Come a Day" is in the same vein. The remix to "Summertime in the LBC" at the end adds verses from the other two members of The Dove Shack, it's a little better than the original in my opinion thanks to their presence. The skits scattered throughout are your basic gangsta fare, as you could guess from the titles of them, and the album does run a little long, but overall the tracklist is strong.

"This Is the Shack" is inconsistent, but I recommend it based on the strength of the first four songs and "Ghetto Life", which are certified classics. While neither the production nor lyricism are really great, the album maintains a pretty solid feel and I like the group's chemistry and outlook. Fans of 90s West coast G-funk should purchase this album while they can, I'm sure it will be enjoyed by many and I would suggest it to most rap fans.

A prime example of "When Gangsta Rap Goes Wrong".......2006-11-08

This was one of the most dissappointing debut albums to come out of the Mid Nineties G-Funk heyday. Warren G. didn't even produce one song on this sorry attempt at making hard/soft gangsta rap except for the title track that was already used on his album a year before. The skits are ridiculous, the music is halfass, and the lyrics are amateur. There is absolutely nothing that keeps the listener's attention for a whole album. This is similar to other West Coast rap albums that play it too safe such as W.C. and the Madd Circle's debut and Coolio's "It Takes A Thief". One star for the hit single "Summertime in the L.B.C.".

Slammin, Bumpin, Rider Music.......2005-07-01

Dove Shack's solo release "This Is The Shack" is nothing short of slammin. It combines laid back G-Funk like the cut "Smoke Out" (with a nice, heavy bass and whiny keyboard synths) with smooth R&B as in "Summertime In The LBC," adding in bumpin, funky party tracks like "East Side Party," and throws in some harder gangsta flava for your ear in tracks like "Rollin Wit A Gang." The album is well-rounded production wise, and the beats are awesome. The album is prime for a top down ride down the AVE! There is something great about Long Beach; it has spawned yet another super rap act and album. Too bad, these cats haven't released any more since this one came out in 95! If you love the styles of Warren G, Foesum, Twinz, DPG, this is an essential addition to your LBC/rap collection!

creme de le creme..........2004-01-15

i too grew up in long beach on 20th and remember these guys talkin about gettin big on warrens label. it really is a good album and i think they summed up what east long beach life is in an album. listenin to this record reminds me of growin up on the eastside and all the fun that came with it like drinkin old english in king park. it relaxes you yet pumps you up, its g-funk, and its pure.

The Doveshack Is Back.......2003-05-02

I'm From Long Beach And i personally know the doveshack. i lived next to them when this album was released and i have to say that these guys are real talented. out of bo roc, two scoops, and C-Knight i have to choose C-Knight now this guy could really flow and touch you with his tight ... lyrics. much of you don't know that c-knight has done a solo project and is out now but the name of the album is Knight Time. bo roc is still incarcerated he should be out soon. so if you loved this album please look around for The DoveShack. Also look out for Bad Azz, Hobo, Lil Goldie Loc. East Side Up ESRTCG20

Album Description

Urban Tongues is filled with Urban Hip-hop soul laced with relevent and laid back lyrical flow.

The Urban Tongues CD is about the average, hard working, inner city man and woman. It's about urban love and frustration. It's about the soul food joints and the African shops. It's also about the Muslim brothers who sell bean pies on the street and church goers who fill up the church on Sunday morning, some after partying all week. It's about the world inside and outside the hood. We're all not wanna be gangsters, drug dealers and homicidal parasites. There is so much to our culture, history and who we are and we want to express these things in our music. Amidst all the crap we face, we still smile and laugh hardily in the ghetto too. We don't knock what others are doing; we're simply giving our version of the story.

Urban Tongues CD is about having a good time and dealing with the stresses of life of urban life as well. We want get paid and live the good life in our lyrics, but it's not our primary focus.

Product Description

The Shack Recording, a CD that is about the working magical relationship between Tom Wilson and Bob Lanois is the most natural artistic treatment of original songs to be heard in a long time. The Album was made in Bob Lanois shack on a piece of land outside Hamilton, Ontario. The duo used ancient recording gear (owned by Bob and Daniel Lanois) which lent itself to the pure performance captured on two inch tape. The 15 recording sessions took place over a year and a half which gave the material a chance to breathe rather then be choked. The result is a True Roots Field recoding. Tom Wilson and Bob Lanois produce a beautiful campfire feel to their live performances with Tom on guitar and vocals and Bob on harmonica and percussion.
