Heavy Funk and big-time Soul.......2007-07-24
I couldn't tell if this was a good CD or not from the sample tracks. But man was I surprised when I cranked this up on a 300 mile drive to New York last week! The range and genre changes (raggie,disco,jazz/r&b) is amazing. My favorite is "Sex God". It's a real "come-and-get-me" song that N'Dea Davenport pulls off at her sultry best! Got to see them at the Capitol Jazz festival in June. TBNH turned the joint out and in the rain no less!
wow, tough crowd.......2007-04-02
boy, i don't get some of these reviews at all. this cd is amazing! every track is a mini-masterpiece, and n'dea has never sounded better. i am particularly enamored with the track, "I've Been Touched," which starts out sweetly low-key but steadily builds into a good old jam. if you've ever been a fan of The Brand New Heavies, you can't go wrong with this disc.
A Blast From The Past.......2007-03-29
Like one of the previous reviewers added: this is a real group playing real instruments. This CD is a wholesome change from whats out there now musically. They bring back that natural funk flavor. Out of the 12 songs 9 are really solid (1,2,3,6,7,8,9,11,12). My favorites were "Get used to it" no.3 & "We won't stop" no.6. The 8th joint takes a thinly veiled shot at the techno enhanced music of the day. On the 7th cut they actually mention how they were attempting to bring funk back into music. N'dea returned with superb vocals after a long hiatus. She put icing on the cake, and she's still as seductive as ever.
Brand New?.......2007-03-11
I first saw them on BET Jazz--singing one song and fell in love with them. I like this cd a lot!

Classic.......2006-02-17
Very good 1989 classic for sure.The best songs on this album in my opinion are Wild Thing,Funky Cold Medina,and The Homies.Wild Thing was a very big hit I don't know who hasen't heard it.Funky Cold Medina was the same way very popular.A great old school rap buy for anybody.
A Classic CD that every hip hop fan must buy.......2004-12-26
I don't care who don't likes him and/or never like his style. 'Cause he's my favorite old-school rapper alongside Young MC, MC Hammer, EPMD, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane, Chubb Rock, Public Enemy, just to name a few artists from that genre.
You see Tone-Loc always keep it real w/o ever negating the positive images that's behind hip-hop. I consider this an album that shows real sides of whats happening in the world of hip-hop right now, one that shows people that kind of rap music is worth listening to.
Now ya'll think he's the worst rapper 'cause he can't rhyme or sing? Are you saying that this s**t is wack? Hell haw, if this is not 4 you, you shouldn't buy it.
That's why a lot of people are hatin on rap right now b/c it's lost its message and/or its voice. I pray we keep our soul alive in the industry w/o ever falling apart.
Every music or must-have fan should have this 'cause they missin' a lot of real stuff that it's happening 'round our culture.
Long story short, my 1st favorites from the album are Funky Cold Medina, Wild Thing and Loc'ed After Dark. I know I love every song I download off this album.
This is highly recommend 4 those who wants to hear real hip-hop. For instance, if u see BROWN SUGAR or ever listen to Kanye West's classic album THE COLLEGE DROPOUT you would know there's a difference between them making a new direction in the hip-hop culture.
I would love for Tone-Loc to come back with a new album in the near future. No rap fan or non-rap lover should hate on this.
This is a rap album that was actually funny!.......2004-11-19
No deep review needed! Just listen to "Wild Thing" and "Funny
Cold" and you will laugh your @ss off! The sad part is that
some of that is because this is so cheesy!
One of my all-time favorite rap albums..........2004-03-29
I grew up on the beginnings of rap. Ice-T, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, UTFO... these groups laid the foundations for what was to come. Approximately 10 years later Ton-Loc comes on the scene when rap was at an all-time low (in my opinion) and dance-music ruled the airwaves. Ton-Loc was different and that's what made him unique amongst all other rap artists. I first heard Ton-Loc's Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina in '89, my senior year in high school. It wasn't until after I graduated that I heard his whole album. A friend of mine had the tape and I practically wore it out when he left it in my car. A lot of reviewers say they dislike Track 10. Me and a friend of mine were building bass systems in our cars before the car audio market started to take hold. Track 10 was and still is THE song we use to test our systems. It's the benchmark we use to this day. Track 10 was perfect for showing up at a friend's house and "announcing" yourself. In later years I ran it through a bass boost filter and made it even more powerful. Move forward 15 years and I'm still listening to this album. I like most every song except for Cheeba and Homies. You just can't find rap like this anymore because it's all been reduced to cussing and demoralization of others. This whole album is so fleshed out, something you don't find in a lot of debut albums. It's timeless in my opinion. I give this one 5 stars because I never get tired of the songs. The music is clean and crisp and sounds great on a decent system. I'm not a big rap fan anymore since most of the music on the radio nowadays is saturated with different incarnations of it, but albums like this take me back to a simpler time when rap was worth listening to.
This is not the '80s.......2004-03-04
This CD features Tone Loc's two smash hits from the late 80s, "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina". These songs are both undeniable rap classics. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is not as good as those two songs. Most of the other songs are pretty forgetable, although "On Fire" is pretty good. The album reaches a definite low point with the five minute long instrumental "Loc'in on the Shaw", which Loc doesn't even appear on. Fans of old school rap may want to get this CD, if only for the two hits.

On her fourth studio album, Messina, country's queen of hope and empowerment, roars back after a four-year hiatus, during which she went public with a stint at rehab and broke off a nine-year relationship with her fiancé. Those events stand at the center of two of the best ballads on the album ("It Gets Better" and "Sometimes Love Is Just Not Enough"), and please not only because Messina wrote (or cowrote) them from real-life struggles, but because the songs soften the numbing bombast that producers Byron Gallimore and Mark Bright bring to the rest of her repertoire. The singer--big-voiced, expansive, and as comforting as an old friend--is always a welcome presence on the radio, as she is on the album's first single, the upbeat and attitudinal kiss-off "My Give a Damn's Busted." What she needs is more songs like this that break her out of her usual mold (in addition to the aforementioned tracks that showcase her quieter side) and allow her to deliver a surprise or two. The ones offered here aren't quite as "delicious" as the album title promises, but even the most casual listener senses that Messina has so much spunk and grit that she'll gather them yet, her myopic producers be damned. --Alanna Nash

Do Not Mess with Messina.......2007-07-17
Good to see Jo Dee come back onto the charts with a very strong album, Delicious Surprise. I guess her absence was due to working out personal stuff, a bunch of which comes out on this record. It's definitely about empowerment and moving on to a significant degree. The songs have good, unapologetic lyrics, and Jo Dee sings with force and attitude. The song mix is good too. The album gets a little slower toward the end, but doesn't become tiresome. Good to have Jo Dee BAck. The really good songs on this one are:
Who's Crying Now
My Give a Damn's Busted
Surprise by Jo Dee.......2006-03-17
I found this CD to be one of her best. I am thoroughly enjoying it - never get sick of it. Well done Jo Dee.

Great Girl Power Album!.......2006-03-09
I bought this because I heard such good things about it from people I knew and now I know that they weren't wrong! This CD is outstanding. It is from start to finish the catchiest album I have heard in a long time. JoDee makes you feel what she is singing, not just hear it. That is the way a song is supposed to be! Great work!
Jo Dee's most personal album!!.......2006-01-29
I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM THINKING IT WOULD BE LIKE HER OTHER LPS. BOY, WAS I WRONG! THIS CD IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST ALBUMS ,BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THIS A BAD ALBUM. MOST PEOPLE ARE REVEIWING THIS ALBUM BY COMPARING IT TO ALL HER OTHER THREE. BUT THATS NOT THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT. IT IS VERY GOOD. BELOW IS MY REVIEW OF THE ALBUM.
1. NOT GOING DOWN 5/5
2. SOMEONE ELSES LIFE 3/5
3. DELICIOUS SURPRISE 4/5
4. IT GETS BETTER 5/5
5. WHOS CRYING NOW 5/5
6. MY GIVE A DAMNS BUSTED 5/5
7. TOO LATE TO WORRY 3/5
8. LIFE IS GOOD 5/5
9. LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH 5/5
10. WHERE WERE YOU 5/5
11. I WEAR MY LIFE 5/5
12. YOU WERE JUST HERE 5/5
ALL IN ALL THIS IS AN AWSOME ALBUM. BUT DON'T ASK ME, LISTEN TO IT.
Two Good Songs.......2006-01-24
I have been listening to country music for probably 8 or 9 years, ever since I was really little and listening to Crystal Gayle. So i'm not just typing nonsense. This CD is not like any other Jo Dee Messina's songs and past albums, the songs have no tune or melody instead she just hollars, She is not a bad singer, and a REALLY good performer. Just these songs have no country swing. The only two good songs on the CD are
Delicious Surprise
and My Give a Damn's Busted
Of corse this is0 only my opinion, and I don't think it was a good bye, and wish I knew how the music was before I bought it.

Chant to Travel.......2007-03-09
I first heard this CD when my friend Wendy brought it during a visit to Oregon. We chanted the whole way to the Bonneville Spa and Hotsprings. I liked it so much I borrowed it for a week and finally got my own. Ragani has the most lovely voice and the instrumentals are fulland luscious.
Thank you Ragani!
Best of Both Worlds truly is a fine blend of traditional Indian chants and modern recording .......2006-06-25
What immediately strikes me about this recording is Ragani's sincere devotion to her guru and to the divine. This is evidenced in the opening mantra, the Akhanda Prayer, a beautiful prayer to the Guru. Though I am not a musician, each chant on this CD seems to me to be well recorded and more importantly these chants are infused with Ragani's sincerity as a bhakta. I feel as though I am listening to a seasoned yogini when I listen to this fine collection of chants.
Especially appealing to me about these chants is the shift from a slow repetition of the Name to an accelerated and ecstatic repetition. The gradual acceleration has the effect of locking my mind's attention onto the mantra so that by the time the chant ends, my mind is subdued and I experience the peace brought about by the chant. In other words, when the chant is moving very quickly, there is less room for thoughts (other than the Name) to creep in. By the time the chant speeds up the Name takes hold and my mind begins to settle down. My particular favorites are Sita Ram and Shiva Hara. Whereas Sita Ram is intense, by contrast Shiva Hara is light and uplifting. In addition, the chants on this CD are all in call in response style which makes participation in the chants very easy.
Amazingly beautiful. Nice change of pace from other kirtan .......2005-02-01
I thought no other kirtan style music could even compare to Krishna Das (whom I love dearly), but Ragani's voice is so beautiful. This CD is enchanting so much so that I cannot seem to tire of listening.
GREAT CD!!!.......2005-01-10
Great CD!!! I play it everyday commute to work. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for Kirtan music.
Exquisitely Beautiful.......2004-11-28
This is one of the best New Age/Kirtan CDs of recent years. The final track, "Rama Rama" is one of the most achingly beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's as if you're listening to Sita, the legendary heroine of the epic Ramayana, actually calling for her husband Rama, who's half a world away. Ragani is one of the most inspired artists in the new genre of Western kirtan music. I play this CD often.

Like De La Soul's Three Feet High & Rising, the Pharcyde's 1992 debut came at a time when hip-hop was headed in one direction, but the group was going somewhere else entirely. A crew of spunky b-boys armed with a self-deprecating sense of humor, the Pharcyde made an album that was fresh and profoundly honest. "Ya Mama" is a clever array of mother jokes set to cartoonish beats; "On the DL" has each MC unguardedly making self-denigrating confessions (like Fat Lip admitting to masturbating--previously a hip-hop no-no); and "Passin' Me By" is an ode to hopeless crushes on unattainable women. The group's playfulness was also infused with smarts, too, most visibly on "Officer." Recorded around the time of the Rodney King verdict, the song was an indictment of racial profiling--shrouded, of course, in a comic tale that parodied Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos." With animated beats from J-Swift (the West Coast version of Prince Paul) and four distinct rhyming styles, particularly Slim Kid Tre's melodiousness and Fat Lip's nerdiness, this album captures an innocence rarely seen in the music's posturing ways. It's something that this album captures forever. --Joseph Patel

Awesome Fun B-Boy Music (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5 stars).......2007-03-02
If I had to pick an album that can discribe the type of personality that I have, it would be this one here, "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde". Funny that this album dropped back in 1992 and came from Los Angeles. A time and a place where gangsta rap was beginning to get in full spin, this group provided an excellent alternative in hip hop music. I remember when I saw the video "Passing Me By" a few years ago and thought it was an awesome song. Another excellent song would be the jammin' song "Soul Flower", a party track that packs a punch. Infact this whole CD here will be garunteed to provide something for anyone to like. From laughable songs like "Oh Sh.." and "Officer" to those love songs like "Otha Fish" to old school '88 type hip hop like "Return Of The B-Boy". This CD has it all.
No CD is perfect in anyway, but I find this to come very close to perfection. This masterpiece by The Pharcyde is one of the best CDs you can have if you love hip hop. It brings back memories of back when hip hop was fun and at the same time showed off your skills on the mic ("Housing MFs like a real estate agent" - "I'm The Type Of ***** In Charge). That is exactly what this album is all about, making fun music.
I always said that the west coast can come with come of the most creative music in hip hop. This album continues to validate my statement. I heard their follow up "Labcabincalifornia" was dope as well, and I will check that out also.

this is a great reason why radio sucks today. there was once a period where you could hear gems that came off this single until you were sick of them. now, you have to fight sleep (at least where i dwell) just to hear quality material like this.
this is class all the way. great west coast hip hop. shoot, this makes me remember groups like freestyle fellowship, da wascals, madkap, and the nonce. before this came out, i never heard a west coast act that made me forget that they were from california. they do not make them like this anymore...........ANYWHERE!!!!! i recommend absolutely everything.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde (Delicious Vinyl 1992)
In a time when gangsta rap dominated completely - not just on the westcoast, but in the whole country - there was this nice quartet. A breath of fresh air and a style unlike anything else. Slim Kid Tre, Imani, Fat Lip & Bootie Brown was a part of the rising freestylescene in L.A., and they were more inspired by Native Tongues rather than N.W.A. and Ice-T. Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde shows musical creativity and it sounds playful. There wasn't any pressure. You could just be yourself, and that's an important premise for many classics.
Humor, honesty and charm are three other important clues, and it was this that separated The Pharcyde from the other rappers. The production is mostly handled by J-Sw!ft, he rotated between funky b-boy songs as "I'm That Type Of N*" and "Officer" and more jazzy stuff like "4 Better Or 4 Worse" and "Otha Fish". It's a lot of James Brown and J.B.'s samples, but also jazznames like Herbie Mann and Lou Donaldson. On the classic single "Passing Me By" they used Quincy Jones' "Summer In The City", but it also features a Jimi Hendrix sample. The other singles, "Ya Mama" and "Otha Fish", are also reckoned classics. On "Otha Fish" Slim Kid (now better known as Tre) could swing free with his wonderful laidback singin'. The record has a totally unique feel and energy, and not since De La Soul's revolutionary debut from 1989, 3 Feet High & Rising, had we heard an album this consistent positively and unceremonious. The Pharcyde didn't quite manage to follow up the success, even though their second, Labcabincalifornia, was a respectably try. However Bizarre Ride... have assured them a spot in "the Hip-Hop Hall Of Fame", and this set belongs home in every serious collection.
The most entertaining hip hop album EVER.......2006-04-28
"Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" is a prime example of hip hop at its best. I believe that it is one of, if not the, very greatest hip hop album ever recorded. I have listened to hundreds of albums, all of the ones that other people claim to be the best ever, yet nothing entertains me like "Bizarre Ride". I love everything about it. The MCs (Slim Kid Tre, Fatlip, Imani Wilcox, and Bootie Brown) are absolutely hilarious, and they seriously make me laugh everytime I put this in the player. J-Swift made his mark as one of the world's greatest producers, creating beautiful jazzy, funky, and ridiculous beats for them. The subject matter goes all over the place. At one minute they're telling a silly story, the next bashing the police, and the next telling mama jokes. They yell and chant every chorus. Their immature, harmonious voices, along with a great flow, will keep you listening for the end and you'll keep coming back for more "Bizarre Ride".
The first full song is called "Oh Sh*t", a hilarious mix of stories that made the four use the exclamation. Between being busted and finding your lady is a man, over a jazzy and bluesy beat, this song is great. "4 Better Or 4 Worse" also has a great soulful beat, awesome chorus and on-point lyrics. "I'm That Type Of N**ga" is just a happy, catchy song, with a sax loop, funny chorus, and more great rhymes. "Soul Flower" is maybe my favorite beat here, it makes my head bob and puts me on the brink of dancing every time, and the beat to "On the DL" is just as great, a bass and drum heavy track with great vibes. The lyrics and hooks to both do not slack, and both are classics. "Officer" is an anti-police anthem, but it's done in the signature Pharcyde style, half-kidding the entire song. It almost sounds like a parody of a Public Enemy song, with the spinning, loopy beat and chorus. "Ya Mama" is maybe the funniest song I've ever heard. The beat is great, and I know you think you've heard mama jokes before, but wait till you hear this. A peg leg with a kickstand? An afro with a chinstrap? Where do they get this stuff? This is perfectly followed by "Passin' Me By", indisputibly one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. The beat is among the best ever, and the lyrics tell the stories of the girls that got away. It's as legendary a hip hop song as any. "Otha Fish", one of my favorites, has a toned down, happy beat with flutes, providing hope to any lovesick teen. "Pack the Pipe", a silly story which involves giving weed to a 4-year old, and "Return of the B-Boy", an excellent groove, finish the album amazingly in a way only the Pharcyde could. Throughout the album, hilarious skits like "Quinton's on the Way", "It's Jigaboo Time", and "Pack the Pipe" only enhance the tracks.
"Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" is a must-have for anyone who likes hip hop. It has the funniest lyrics and immaculate production. Everything went right on "Bizarre Ride", and I speak of it among the best ever, with other greats from the early 90s period like Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Souls of Mischief, and A Tribe Called Quest. You don't know what you're missing without this in your collection.
YES! THE MOST ORIGINAL HIPHOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME.......2006-04-25
FRESH. The feeling you get from Bizarre Ride II is similar to that off a bottle of chilled water on a summer's day...REFRESHING. Now that may sound to cliched, but it's true. At a time when Hiphop was constantly progressing as different artists and groups were bringing something new to the table, and making a name for themselves (1992) the Pharyce stepped up and blew away any competition for that time. This album has that x-factor that only a true Hiphop fan can appreciate. Now I do not agree with reviewers that say that this is one of the last great hiphop albums to come out before commercialism started to ambush Hiphop, since 1993/1994 was pretty much the beat years for hiphop with virtually the most innovative and creative albums in hiphop coming out, but I can see how this album can over-shadow any later releases. Now, for the music. The album contains 11 tracks and 5 skits (some of the most entertaining skits that only enhance the flow of the album further) all of which display their own individuality and carry their own memorability. "Passin Me By" is considered to be one of the best hiphop songs off all time, and it can be understood why as Fatlip etc drop a little tale over one of the most addictive and fresh melodies ever laid down (courtesy of J-SWIFT. However, unlike some releases this does not over-shadow any other song on the album resulting in you finding your "favourite" track will continually change until the day you die. "On the DL" is one of the most refreshing Hiphop songs I have ever heard, period, displaying nothing short of amazing lyrics, originality and production that only keeps you hitting the rewind button. Similarly, tracks like Ya Mama and Officer offer a more entertaining experience that contributes to justification of the albums deserved trademark title of "originality", whilst tracks like "oh Sht" and "soul flower remix" give a catchy and addictive vibe that are ideal for when you feel a bit hype or just want to engage with your music! It's all here, you are reading a review for one of the most unique and replayable albums in history, regardless of genre. The Pharcyde display styles that no other hiphop group posess or can match, and this album is the perfect oppurtunity to indugle in Hiphop's most creative side! This needs to be in the hands of a person who truly appreciates Hiphop with that Jazzy Fresh Vibe. If not, look elsewhere as this is not for you...You will not understand.PEACE

Masta Ace does it again.......2007-04-13
The best rapper you have never heard of, Masta Ace, puts out another classic cd. Sporting one of the most consistent careers of anyone to enter the rap game, it is hard to find a bad Ace cd, and although this is not his best effort, its a close contender. By far his most accessible work, its an enjoyable listen that will ultimatly leave you wondering why you have never heard of this stunningly talented mc before.
There are no really standout tracks here because unlike most cds, there is no filler, but some cuts do stand out. Born To Roll is an absolute necessity for anyone that loves ot pump the base in their care, but be careful because this one might blow out your system. INC Ride is a classic Ace posse cut as he talks about what he sees in his neighborhood.
In the midst of the East vs. West Bloody feud, Masta Ace managed to blend West Coast beats with East Coast flow to create the perfect album for its time. I Highly suggest you pick this one up, along with anything else by Masta Ace
Completely slept-on classic.......2006-12-29
This CD is great. In the midst of the whole East-West beefing, Masta Ace, Lord Digga, Paula-to-the-P and Leschea put out a bumpin' album that marries the smoothed-out slickness of West Coast production values with the rough edge of New York hip-hop, and the result is a perfect album for ridin' around on a Friday night.
Ace says it at the end of the intro: "Let's take this ride..."
From the silky bump of "The INC Ride" to the deep hit and mellow vibes of "Terror," there isn't a whole lot NOT to like about this album.
Fans of Ace's later work will complain that he doesn't have much to say in comparison to his later, more concept-oriented albums, but the h*ll with that. Redman never had ANYthing to say; doesn't mean he didn't say it WELL. He's still my favorite MC!
"People in My Hood" is an excellent slice-of-life about folks around the way, "4 Da Mind" flips a tricky beat into a nice song and I'll be honest, "Born to Roll" should be mandatory listening for anyone with subwoofers in their ride.
To me, this album has a wide appeal for hip-hop heads from coast to coast.
Don't sleep. Especially when it's this cheap used on Amazon!
Born To Roll'.......2006-01-23
Sittin on Chrome by Master Ace is a diamond in the rough. I loved it when it came out and I still love it now. The style is Brooklyn Bass with an LA sound to it. When its done right it is hot and incredible sounding. Sittin on Chrome my top choice for tracks but there are others..INC RIDE, People in my Hood and Born to Roll are the some of the strongest..The only thing that keeps it from a 5 star album is the other rapper on the album. I dont even know his name or care to..the beats are all knockin though even the intro..Classic Unknown Material right here..
Born To Roll' the best beat to jam for sure LOCC
Haters.......2005-11-28
Smooth Beats Good Production East Coast Feel If you dont like this and you love east coast underground somethings wrong I love this CD especially the song Terror(Oh My God)whats going on and Inc Rode both versions ya'll dont like this ya'll are trippin!
East Coast Lyrics, West Coast Bounce!.......2005-10-31
I only know to much about Masta Ace Incorperated, this guy has tight songs such as Slaughta House, though I only found this one as his best Album....best songs are The I.N.C. Ride, Eastbound (feat. Method Man, Redman & Grave Diggaz), Sittin' On Chrome (feat. B.G. Knocc Out, Eazy-E & MC Eiht), Terror, Da Answer & the Bomb-ass hit Born To Roll that has the all time greatest G-Funk Bounce! Other than The Notorious B.I.G., Masta Ace is the Greatest thing to come out of Crooklyn!

Mature, artistic, and focused.......2007-01-04
The Pharcyde returned in 1995 three years after their debut album, a debut that was one of the best of all time and the most entertaining hip hop album I've ever heard. For their sophomore album, however, the Los Angeles quartet of Booty Brown, Slimkid Tre, Imani Wilcox, and Fatlip showed a totally new and refreshing style. Where "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" showed a group of hilarious and immature juveniles joking and discussing issues facing teens over cartoon-style beats, "Labcabincalifornia" displays men who have matured into adulthood and now celebrate the essence of hip hop. Lyrically, the MCs are less frequently humorous and much more intelligent sounding, dropping numerous verses that make you want to check the liner notes and read all the lyrics. They also use their interesting voices more creatively, often harmonizing and singing. But the real treat of this album that makes it stand apart from their debut is the production. This album has a very smooth and focused tone that is very unique, thanks to Jay Dee's influence, the amazing producer who produces most of the cuts on the album. I think that on "Labcabincalifornia," the Pharcyde took some cues from Hieroglyphics and some of the later Native Tongues to make a more mature and artistic album that stands apart but is equally as enjoyable as their debut.
The album begins with the excellent "Bulls...," a laidback sounding cut where the rappers deliver inspirational lyrics that inspire to forget worries and troubles and "stop fightin' that feelin'." The next song, "Pharcyde," is a little more introductory and allows the group to represent themselves over a nice beat. "Groupie Therapy" speaks fondly of the Pharcyde's interactions with women throughout their lives, on a song produced by East Coast producer Diamond D. The true standout of the tracklist is "Runnin'," possibly the best song of the group's catalog. This song has deep lyrics discusses dealing with problems and an awesome, signature-styled musical backing from Jay Dee. I also love "She Said," a slow groove that just sounds happy and makes my head nod. "Splattitorium" and "Somethin' That Means Somethin'" are two good songs that precede the great "Drop." "Hey You" provides more of the tight focused sound that makes "Labcabincalifornia" so excellent, and "Y?" has the MCs asking why life has to be so hard through their struggles. "Moment in Time" is a musical highlight, and "Hustle" is an interesting song where the group lends the microphone to some unknown rappers. "Devil Music" is a humorous and catchy song, and "The E.N.D." ends the album on a good note.
I highly recommend that fans of lyrical and artistic hip hop check out "Labcabincalifornia." Those who liked the Pharcyde's debut or are fans of artists like Souls of Mischief, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, and other like-minded rappers will love this album. This is one of the finest works of the awesome underground hip hop wave of the mid nineties and I highly suggest listeners give it a purchase.
Jazzy brilliance with depth in both lyrics and tune.......2006-07-16
This album along with Illadelphi halflife by the roots is my favourite hip hop album. It has depth due to Tre hardson giving it some soulful background vocals and rapping, Bootie Brown with a distinguished style and Slim kid 3 who matches Bootie throughout. The integration of samples into the tunes works superbly as you aren't aware of how much sampling goes on until you look in the CD sleave. Its much more mainstream than other Pharcyde albums released previously and signified the short entry on the big stage. An album which doesn't just talk about the hood in general but covers personal problems such as the most famous "runnin'" which is a true classic. Full of metaphors and intelligent writing that leaves you thinking of inner meanings but at the same time light sounding, soulful, jazzy, vibrant and fresh. If you've been listening to hardcore hip hop for years realised that all of it is the same (as did I) and are looking for a more intelligent album that comes from the soul buy this beauty.
Good Music.......2005-11-26
I love this U got underground hits left and right from beginning to end on this one please buy if you like Tribe Called quest De la Soul type music smoothness Night time music
The Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia .......2005-07-20
The Pharcyde's second album was "Labcabincalifornia" (1995). The Los Angeles group consisted of Derrick "Fatlip" Stewart Tre "Slimkid" Hardson, Imani Wilcox, and Romye "Booty Brown" Robinson. Pharcyde, Slum Village's Jay Dee, M. Walk and Diamond D produced this 17 track release. The albums opener Jay Dee produced "Bull****" is a dope track which was an immediate head nodder. My favorite track on this release is "Runnin", a smooth track, the Pharcyde drop some memorable lyrics and a chorus to remember. On "Something That Means Somethin" the Pharcyde drops some conscious lyrics, while ripping up "Drop" with fast paced rhymes. "Y?" has the Pharcyde talking about betrayals and the ups and downs of life. A short interlude follows, then Slim Kid shines on the premium M-Walk produced "Moment In Time", a track dedicated to those who died to young. The Pharcyde talk about their ambitions to make it on "Hustle". Backed by some heavier sounding beats, Pharcyde then deliver "Devil Music". The album closes off with the "The E.N.D.", a track, which has the Pharcyde giving thanks, Kamau delivers a memorable on point guest verse. The Pharcyde delivered original and memorable music with their last major release "Labcabincalifornia".
Very Solid Sophmore album.......2005-04-22
I remember i rushed to the store to buy 'LabinCalifornia' after hearing "Runnin'"....That song still remains one of my favorite tracks of all time....The rest of the album is dope as well....All four mc's do a solid job of providing sick rhymes covering all kinds of topics....The beats on this album are much more polished than their debut album...."Drop" was an instant classic known for its insane beat....
If you're a hip hop fan, this is a must have album

Brand New Heavies bring out Brand New Funk, Jazz and Soul.......2006-08-15
This CD is out-a-sight!
Classic Retro-70's Sounds Re-Coined As "Acid Jazz" in The Early 90's!!.......2006-02-12
I love this album because it was my introduction to the BNH!
You can tell that the band had grew up on such
70's American R&B icons as Stevie Wonder,
Brass Construction, Curtis Mayfield, Ohio Players,
E,W&F and Rufus feat. Chaka Khan as well as
70's fusion jazz like Herbie Hancock,
Roy Ayers Ubiquity, The Blackbyrds and
Lonnie Liston Smith, but they wove it into an
interesting and refreshing sound that ruled the
early to mid 90's and influenced acts like
Jamiroquai, Erykah Badu, Maxwell, Amiel Lamiereaux,
etc. and became known as neo-soul here in the states.
N'Dea Davenport's fluid vocals are the perfect
marriage to the bands funky "jazz-perations"!
"Dream Come True", "Stay This Way" "Ride In The Sky" and
"Never Stop" will always have a special place in my heart
and if you like this one, then check out 1994's
sizzling "Brother-Sister", which is just as or
more hot as this one!
So So underated ???.......2005-06-06
This is a Cool album ,N'dea has a voice that transcends time ,she would have been a Knockout in the 50's 60's and 70's ,the Honesty with which she sings really resonates and track 9 in particular is Wonderful.Buy the CD and lets all support these talented People ,they are after all giving us there SOUL.
Got To Give Them Credit,But............2005-05-25
Well the Brand New Heavies 1991 debut CD is pretty overrated.Just speaking in sheer quality of song it just isn't as good as wehat was to come not only from them but the Brit funk/acid jazz movement to come.The Heavie's main goal from the start was to showcase real instruments and play retro 70's soul and funk,or some modern version of it.But sadly this band isn't too intent on creating songs here-most of the pieces here tend to recycle endless musical clishe's from Tower Of Power and James Brown,whitch means alot of jamming grooves that are fairly tuneless.That being said "People Get Ready" and "Stay This Way" are the only true 'songs' on the album.And nothing personal but N'Dea Davenport is a really pedestrian soul singer and,frankly not transcendant enough a vocalist that this type of music demands.
All this being said I am a HUGE funk fan.My record collection includes all the classics by James Brown,P-Funk,Earth,Wind & Fire,Cameo,The Bar-Kays,Con Funk Shun,Heatwave,Slave,Chaka Khan and just about every combination you could THINK of in between.I am not unlearned in the subject.But personally Jameroqui's 1993 debut on Work is FAR superior to this-the musical idea's have more definition and an strong attempts are made at songwriting.I baught all the hype about this album being real funk and soul.But at least here The Brand New Heavies seem to know all the forms but not any of the substances.That comes from experience and character.And while for a debut this could be alot worse it's just so overrated and overhyped I had to give a more realistic appraisal on it.Don't avoid this but it is NOT the first Brand New Heavies album to buy and certainly not my idea of an introduction to modern funk.
Funk from an unlikely source.......2005-04-28
London is not exactly the place you usually think of when you're looking for searing funk music and surely the Brand New Heavies themselves are in on that joke. (Their publishing company is "Varry White Music", a play on Barry's name no doubt, as well as acknowledging that 3/6 of the members are Caucasians.) The fact that your first inclination is to snicker means you haven't heard these cats.
Every track here sounds like it might have been a lost outtake from the decade of "Superfly" and "Shaft". Despite the great chops of the band members, the real treasure here is the vocals of N'Dea Davenport who seems to have just what each song she's featured on needs, effortlessly floating above "Stay This Way" or testifying for "Dream Come True".
HIGHLIGHTS:
"Shakedown" and "Sphynx" are the standout instrumental tracks here with all 4 songs where N'Dea sings also being stellar ("Dream Come True", "Never Stop", "Ride in the Sky", and "Stay This Way")
LOWS:
"Gimmie One of Those" is probably the least interesting track here. It's an instrumental that's merely average compared with the more interesting ones that surround it.
BOTTOM LINE:
This band is the real deal. Chickenscratch guitar, in the pocket rhythm, and soulful vocals. If you have any interest in funk or acid jazz, you need to check out this album.

sooooo soothing.......2007-01-22
When I first played the CD I wasn't sure that I liked all of it. As I continued to play it at work, in the car etc. it seemed to calm my inner
spirit. For a reason I couldn't explain I found myself playing it alot, this music speaks to me on a deep level. I find myself returning to the CD again and again when I am in need of serenity. I have alot of new age/jazz selections. I highly recommend this one, but give it a chance, don't judge it by the first listen. My coworkers request it often.
Diverse and Serene.......2004-11-21
Sequoia Records is shaping out to be one of the finer labels for music that's sure to entrance and relax you. They put together some of the best compilations and 'Cafe De Luna 1' (there's also a volume 2 now available) is an excellent collection of downtempo world-grooves that are just as good, if not better, than anything I've yet to hear from the Buddah-Bar Lounge or the Cafe Del Mar series, which is saying a lot. There's a wide range of musical styles here that are sure to please just about any ambient-chillout seeker but my one and only gripe is, as lovely as all the melodies are, they tend to sound repetitious at times and I enjoy music that is ever-changing and unpredictable so for that I drop a star. However, the album as a whole is very consistent and I don't find myself skipping tracks like a do with other, similar collections. When I listen to this specific genre I prefer to become immersed in a sea of tranquility, if you will, and I want that uninterrupted. 'Cafe De Luna' does that for me and the rhythms blend and interweave practically unnoticed so that is a definite plus.
Elegant and Sophisticated World/Chill-out mood.......2003-08-03
I have a huge collection of chill-out compilations, but this one which is put together by David & Steve Gordon, who also created the wonderful Buddha-Lounge series, is absolutely exceptional. The CD starts out right in the cool downtempo-world groove and stays there throughout, without any inferior tracks to interrupt the mood. You can play this entire CD and rest assured that the atmosphere will stay right where you want it. There are many great exotic world-trance tracks from European artists which stand out from the crowd of the chill-out compilations I have heard. This is world downtempo the way it is meant to be - good to the last track.
Cafe De Luna is a Delight.......2003-06-06
This is the third and latest release from Sequoia records chill-out focussed sub-label, Sequoia Groove, which recently released Buddha Lounge 2, the follow up to the 2002 precursor of the same name, compiled by World Beat music purveryor Steve Gordon. This new downtempo release is a departure from the Buddha-Lounge series offering a distinctively European flair from well known artists from Sequoia Gooves' other releases as well as several new artists I had never heard before. My favorite tracks are from Eroc & Urs Fuchs entitled Aqua Acclivis as well as David & Steve Gordon's inspiring Guardian Spirit (Club Mix) and Opera to Relax's Soul Spaces the last track on the disc. Steve Gordon has done an exceptional job in fusing the downtempo chillout electonica vibe with a distinctive spirtual flavor that blends the best of the Chillout and World Beat genres into a teriffic ecclectic mix. Your ears will savor the great relaxing international flavors. Really unique & exceptional !
