Meh. Some fun, but not great.
They sound like they're somewhere between Cypress Hill, Beasties, and J5. Some of this is alright, but much was pretty forgettable. Maybe cause I was so high, or something.
Bad
4/5
Fun music, the first track is a classic. Definitely a unique sound.
Not something I had heard before. Scooby snacks was kinda fun. Album felt a bit repetitive.
This was pretty good
It has some good songs (Passive/Agressive, The Grave and the Constant, Crime and Punishment) but overrall I didn't like this. "Bombin the L" had a lot of potential with both samples of Free Bird and Seven Nation Army but they just couldn't make it right imo. It has some good instrumentals in "Methadonia" and "We have all the Time in the World" but the vocal seems waaay off. Worst track definitely is "King of New York".
didn't know them and didn't expect this, what a surprise it was so good!
I was confused at every turn on this album. Not sure if it was just me, but it felt like such a hodepodge of music with no central theme or storytelling. It felt messy, one-note at times, and uninteresting to me. How did this end up on this list?
Stick 'Em Up Punk, It's The Fun Lovin' Criminal 1001 Albums Generator 140 (10/15/2025) The Fun Lovin' Criminals are a group that I had never heard of, but their sound reminds me of Stereo MC's and Smash Mouth's styles of alt rock tinged with hiphop/trip hop influence. Their debut album, Come Find Yourself, features their biggest hit, Scooby Snacks. I was surprised to find out that at the time of this album's release, "Scooby snacks" referred to Valium. Nowadays, scooby snacks refers to little pieces of weed that get through the filter and into your throat. This song was very funny to me when I thought that these guys were going so crazy off the scoobs that they were robbing banks, but I guess the idea of doing that on Valium is pretty funny too. There are some really cool sampling moments on this album, like the Free Bird vocal sample in the chorus of Bombin' The L, but a lot of this album just washes over me. Also, these guys just do not sound cool. "La-di da-di, free John Gotti"? Really? La-di da-di? La-di? Okay dude. They whisper in the chorus of Come Find Yourself, I guess to try to sound edgy, but it sounds like shit. Overall, some interesting and occasionally funky/heavy moments (the ending of Passive / Aggressive is fantastic) are overwhelmed by the middling quality of nearly everything else here. Additionally, this album does not even have any historical importance or anything. No idea why it's here. It's a 1.5/5 and I have to round it down to a 1. Favs: Passive / Aggressive Scooby Snacks Methadonia Least Fav: We Have All The Time In The World
This might be 2 star material, but the delivery is 5 star, and trying to leave out the nostalgia of being 15 and stupid when this came out is really tough.
Listened Before? N Really cool and smooth 90's rap/rock album. Laid back and sexy. Loved it. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: The Fun Lovin' Criminal
The album cover looked promising, but the music sounded like what an AI would generate if asked to sum up the nineties — a non-annoying, non-creative mush.
Excelente!
This made me uncomfortable
Fun top half
finally an answer to the age old question: what if limp bizkit sounded more like dave matthew’s band?
really fun to listen to, such a 90s record, including the references to John Gotti.
Unique. Interesting wordplay, reminding me of Beastie Boys and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, with brash delivery and biting commentary, also with NYC references of the day.
meh
Most people I know love fun. Do most criminals not enjoy fun? Is that why the boys needed to set themselves apart as the Criminals that actually Love Fun? I'm not sure if there is an answer to this question that could be answered by any mere mortal on this plane. The album opens up with a track that flows decently. Very mid 90s hip hop. But that sample that repeats during the verse is just annoying. It's like if they really wanted to be Digable Planets, but wanted to bring a more mid 90s tone to it. Second track. Cool chill vibe until the chorus. Is this where Limp Bizkit got their style from (just more aggressive)? From chill and flowy verse to overly aggressive and loud hook. OK I guess. 3rd track is forgettable. 4th track was forgettable and then suddenly got my attention when I heard "scooby snack". What a record we got going here. I'm sure I can now die knowing I've heard the greats.
Liked it.
lame
Pretty great!
One semi hit but otherwise not remarkable.
Juvenile lyrics and boring backing music. 1.5, I need to be pretty pissed off to give only one star. I’m trying to decide if it annoys me enough to round down.
Starts fun but can't sustain it for an entire album
Shouldn't have enjoyed this but I actually kind of did. I can't imagine ever listening to it again but it was fine while it was playing. Surprising. 5.25/10 (2.625/5)
I really enjoyed the "Dick Cheney" reference. "Crime and Punishment" impressed me. Chill album that goes hard in parts. Real drums add a lot.
бисти бойз, но только без угара
What a surprising listen. I only knew Scooby Snacks but this is a great album. Really enjoyed the guitar work and musicianship together with the cool, laid back vocal style.
really funky groove, mi se pare un album super cozy layback, atmosfera frumoasa, un pai si fifa 10/10
This is so dumb. I don't understand why this album was included.
**** Knew the band by name, but not by their music. This album is quite good. Even though it has kind of a rap-ish style (like Rap that is sung) I like it (don't like anything close to Rap normally).
Scooby Snacks, stop de tijd. Even ben ik bang dat dit weer één of ander debuutalbum is, waar de enige grote hit dan niet op staat, maar dat is deze keer niet het geval. Verder is dit album wel geinig, maar ik beschouw het niet als iets wat je gehoord moet hebben. Dat je dit in 1996 kocht kan ik dus wel begrijpen, maar dat je dit album als essentieel om te luisteren bestempelt niet. Drie sterren omdat ik het geen ramp vind om te luisteren en Scooby Snacks wel een lekker hitje is.
fun stuff
A fun and innovative take on rap. Some very catchy hits but drags on a bit
could definetely think of at least like 5 hiphop albums that probably should have been on the list instead of this
Franchement très cool, j'aime bien les instrus, le flow etc.
Pas fan
Je me suis régalé. J'ai vu des critiques sur les paroles mais bon j'ai du mal à comprendre/écouter en général donc osef.
it was alright, nothing too special
Very pleasant and smooth hip-hop here! While they tend to have superficially similar-sounding beats on a lot of the songs, which leads them to blend together a little if I'm doing something else while listening, there's always some individual hook that gives an identity to each song in my head. "Smoke 'em if you got 'em"..."free John Gotti"..."running around robbing banks", it goes on. I had never heard of this one, really happy to find it!
Interesting, I saved one song in my favorite playlist. ⭐️⭐️
Music for people who think Jack Ass is high arr

Very good, wouldn't listen to it normally, found it a very chill album
3.5
Seems like it could have redeeming qualities but I found it too annoying to finish
Not good
Fun
This was certainly an 90s rap album made by a bunch of white dudes who are not named Eminem... 4/10.
Fun
> The Beatles Never heard of these guys before. This was great.
Man, talk about a time capsule from the 90s. From the music production to all the Quentin Tarantino references, this album really encapsulates everything that made the 90s what it was. With that being said, it’s definitely a product of its time, but I’ll admit, “Scooby Snacks” was a super hot track back in the day.
This was actually quite mellow. The production was the bit that I noticed most. Decent given it was stoner rap rock(?). Listened on a plane and fell asleep.
This isn’t an amazing example but I do quite like that 90s jean advert sound where guitar bands sound like they are in space. But I reckon Babylon Zoo and Babybird are probably not going to appear on this list so this’ll do as a solid 2.5 rounded up to 3.
Stupid Album. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: n/a Best Songs Smoke 'Em
"Passive / Aggressive" -> "The Grave and the Constant" -> "Scooby Snacks" is a pretty solid run. This album is light and silly, with 90's grooves. Some of them would fit on a Tony Hawks Pro Skater PS1 game. I'm seeing a lot of hate for the inclusion on the list, which is a fair criticism. If I were voting for that, I'd also vote a 2/5 or less and ask for it's removal. But I feel like this is an exercise in voting on albums for their individual merit. This is pretty inoffensive; it has solid musicianship and production; it is emblematic of 90's alternative rock and hip-hop. Of course it falls under the shadows of better albums, such as Beck's Odelay or Beastie Boys Check Your Head, but it's still not dire enough to be considered bad. So a 2.5 rounded up to 3 because it does more right than it does wrong.
So fun, it's criminal! Not any every-day jam, and perhaps some explicit songs in the mix, but fun!
I heard some of these songs before back in the day. I really didn’t like them then and I don’t like them now.
I remembered them vaguely. Didn't expect to enjoy the album. There's more to it than would seem.
This was like once listen to I don’t see myself listening to this album again
Another new to me band and album. Nice and chill way to start my Friday. This is like a blend of early Beck, G Love and Cypress Hill. Lyrically it's silly, but the word Fun is in the name, so whaddya want? The band playing all the instruments is a big plus. Groovy stuff.
Not my favorite genre, but this was actually fun to listen to.
No.
Passive/Agressive -> The Grave and the Constant is a vibe Solo on I Can't Get with That is stellar
Younger me definitely loved this when it came out. Now though? Not as much. Outside of Scooby Snacks, which is still great, and an unexpectedly decent cover of We Have All the Time in the World, it's not a great record for me. Fave track on this listen: Scooby Snacks
forgetable
Yuck. Nice try mixing genres, but it didn't entirely work out. It was hard to pull through listening to all the tracks on here. Favourite Track(s): King of New York Least Favourite Track(s): The Fun Lovin' Criminals, Smoke 'Em
Fun hip hop album
Back 30 or so years ago I heard this and it was quite catchy. It hit that 90s teenager sweet spot of a rock-y blues-y rap crossover, schmoove vibes and a hint of Quentin Tarantino bubbling underneath. Their follow up album would be leagues better, but this still hit for me.
Phil Esposito mentioned! This is easy listening rap. Jam band hip hop. Their frontman Huey Morgan is actually a longtime DJ on BBC 6Music but I don’t usually listen to his show because I have an irrational aversion to hearing an American accent when I’m listening to the BBC. Scooby Snacks reminds me of middle school days hanging out at my friend’s house playing You Don’t Know Jack.
At first this album really pissed me off, but then it sorta grew on me. I think what pissed me off was it's inclusion in this "significant" list. I would not describe this as an album you must listen to before you die. I'd just say it's a fun album. It's not gonna change your life, it doesn't feel that significant, it's just fun and it made me smile a couple times. It has this goofy slacker GenX stoner hacky sack vibe? It's very 90s. It's a rap rock record... but not in the way that nu metal was rap rock. It's more a rap classic rock or a rap folk rock. It's quite silly, the first track i just started laughing because it's so stupid. But over that 50 minutes, it sorta won me over (it's definitely too long though) and a couple tracks made me smile. I think the highlight is definitely Scooby Snacks, complete with pulp fiction soundbite and goofy story about robbing banks. It's a silly song but I liked it. It has a great chorus. It feels like a long lost 90s one hit wonder. Maybe it was a hit at the time and just no one talks about it anymore. During the first track, I was thinking this is another awful 90s rap record and i'm giving it a 1. But It was better than that. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's got a nice vibe to it. I'm actually thinking a 2.5 but rounding down to a 2. I have been trying to think about why this album is on this list... and it must be the style of the beats. The incorporation of rock and folk in rap beats. It's something that's common place now but probably was exciting in 96? I dunno, that's all i got. Also... this album had a Sublime energy. It wouldn't surprise me if they toured together in the 90s. O and it made me think of Sugar Ray haha.
Not sure I feel the necessity here. FLC had one Stoner-Novelty hit with "Scooby Snacks." It was popular for about three months among line cooks, video store employees, and suburban high school boys. Probably immortalized forever on burned mix CD's between Afroman and Cypress Hill.
Why is there so much mid rap rock on this list
2.5 rounded down because it's not essential.
3/10
# Playlist Track - The Fun Loving Criminal # Notes - A strangely fun and absolutely silly album. - This really seems to have been all thought all for edgy confused teenagers? - I'll confess to the super confused. Bad hip hop, with decent instrumentals and a bunchy of catchy parts. - I'd love to hate it, but I honestly think it's so silly it is fun.
I enjoyed some of this when I was younger. Today I don’t really enjoy it that much anymore. Scooby Snacks is still cool though
This is aggressively fine. I think Andy Samberg listened to it a lot growing up (but I like The Lonely Island more).
Oh man, another hip-hop album... I lost count of how many tracks are on "Come Find Yourself" because they all sound the same to me. It’s like a never-ending loop of the same vibe, and I just couldn’t get into it.
Coole chillmusik
Prolly to old to enjoy this one. Does sound ok
Very 90s, very groovy. Does get old eventually though.
Fun but formulaic
Ehhhhh.... it got took, repetitive for me?
Could not at all tell what genre this was based on that first song
I’ve heard Scoobie snacks a bunch over the years, but it was interesting to hear the rest of the album in context.
One of the most middling inconsequential bands of the 1990s. Why is this on the list? Not an all time album that anyone needs to hear. Most probably come for "Scooby Snacks", but the faithful cover of Louis Armstrong's "We Have All the Time in the World" is probably the peak of this album. Everything else is a strong pass. The important album from 1996 that is not on this list that everyone actually needs to listen to before death is TOOL's Ænima. How did that oversight occur?
Seems like a joke-band? Or maybe this is just the 90s vibe that I have forgotten. It's mostly just quite dull. Simple music and lyrics, not really seeing it.
Come Find Yourself is one of those ’90s records that manages to sound relaxed, dangerous, and irresistibly cool all at once. Fun Lovin’ Criminals blend hip-hop grooves, funky basslines, western-style guitars and deadpan humour into an album that feels like an ironic gangster movie in audio form. Classics like “Scooby Snacks” and “King of New York” still hold up perfectly, they’re tightly produced, stylish, and capture that “Tarantino meets New York lounge” vibe just as strongly today as back then. Huey Morgan’s half-sung, half-spoken delivery adds a charm that never becomes kitschy, just effortlessly laid-back. It may not be the deepest or most varied album in the world, but it nails its niche: a soundtrack to youth, city life, swagger, and a bit of harmless criminal fantasy. It’s a record that feels like returning to something familiar and warm. 4/5
Hip-hop fusion album with some interesting instrumentation and passable rap. Songs where they lean into rock are probably the weakest, although there are some good guitar solos in those. Other genre mashups (of which there are many to choose from) are pretty solid. Best song: The Grave and the Constant Also worth mentioning: The Fun Lovin' Criminals, I Can't Get with That, King of New York.
Not bad, not good, not essential. I thought they were one hot wonders, but I knew a couple more songs. Favorite song: crime and punishment.
Враження від альбому змінювалась декілька разів. Я люблю реп і не люблю, коли власне артисти, які себе відносять до жанру не можуть нормально виконати чи заримувати. Тут такі місця є і це прям дуже сильно збиває враження від альбому. Водночас тут багато з пісень з ідеальним грувом. Якийсь мікс раннього DJ Muggs, фанку та трохи блюз впливу. Це як Everlast до появи його сольнох творчості тільки без ірландського-реднек вайбу. Деякі пісні дуже сильно сподобались. Деякі дуже не сильно не сподобались. Таке буває не часто, буду точно ще слухати щоб краще роздуплитися, але скоріше за все зроблю собі ЕР з цього альбому з композиціями, які мені подобаються
Ще зі школи й кліпів по ентер мьюзік я не міг зрозуміти цей гурт - він серйозний чи ні? що це за жанр? чому вокаліст переважно розповідає щось, а не співає? Але от зараз послухав і мені загалом сподобався грув.
Das Debütalbum Come Find Yourself der US-amerikanischen Band Fun Lovin’ Criminals erschien 1996. Aufgenommen wurde es in New York. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Trio zwischen Hip-Hop, Rock, Funk, Jazz und Blues, was den Songs eine lockere, filmische Atmosphäre verleiht. Besonders bekannt wurde die Band durch „Scooby Snacks“, das Sprachsamples aus Quentin-Tarantino-Filmen enthält und mit humorvoller Gangster-Attitüde spielt. Daneben finden sich Stücke wie „The Fun Lovin’ Criminal“, „King of New York“ oder „We Have All the Time in the World“, die den urbanen Erzählstil der Gruppe prägen. Das Album verbindet lässige Grooves mit erzählerischen Texten, die das Großstadtleben New Yorks ironisch spiegeln. Der Sound ist abwechslungsreich und zugleich markant, was Come Find Yourself schnell einen festen Platz in den 1990er-Jahren sicherte. Insgesamt ein Debüt, das originell wirkt und bis heute seine Eigenständigkeit bewahrt.
The Fun Loving Criminal - 6/10 Passive / Aggressive - 7/10 The Grave and the Constant - 6/10 Scooby Snacks - 4/10 Smoke 'Em - 5/10 Bombin' the L - 6/10 I Can't Get With That - 6/10 King of New York - 6/10 We Have All the Time in the World - 6/10 Bear Hug - 5/10 Come Find Yourself - 6/10 Crime and Punishments - 6/10 Methadonia - 5/10
Very very good! I'll listed to it more.
Legends for their #1 song having the title "Scooby Snacks"
I enjoyed but didn’t adore — expected funkier grooves and I continue to react badly to even hints of misogyny.
Better than expected. I am a sucker for 90s Hip Hop
One hit wonder with a few ok songs.
For me to give a hip-hop album a 3 is to practically award it a Grammy. This was kind of fun and actually interesting with the variety of styles in the songs. I actually listened to the entire thing!
No.
I strongly suspect that this band have been labelled as one that you're not supposed to like if you're a 'proper' muso - in a similar vein to a band like Coldplay - and the reviews are being a bit over-zealous as a result. I would have assumed ahead of time that this album would contain the big smash-hit single, and then a lot of uninspiring filler, but it's way more musical than I thought it would be. There's some great melodic guitar in here, some funk grooves, chill backdrops, harmonica, brass... I think it's really interesting musically. I think this is really good. Forget the haters. And it IS fun.
If someone asked me what the 90s sounded like, this album would be a strong answer. It hooked me right away with that unexpected country-meets-rap combo, and from there it just kept mixing things up. You get flashes of country, rock, blues, and even some jazz sprinkled in across the record. The variety makes it a really fun listen, especially coming from a band I had never heard of before. It captures that offbeat 90s spirit where genres got blended without apology, and it actually works.
Pringles.
I like the palette of sound here, but something about these guys' use of ebonics is giving me late career Steven Segal vibes. Ultimately it feels like a novelty act better left in the 90s.
If this shit on here then there damn well better be some Smashmouth. I felt like a complete douchebag listening to this. It’s garbage. 💫
Cool
A fun blend of hip-hop and alternative that screams 90s.
Yeah. It's OK. Brought on a brief Nostalgia interlude, but no desire to listen again.
Never really sat down to listen to them before, shame it took me so long. Good shit
I was gonna be nice and give this a 2, but 50 minutes of the snooziest and least charismatic vocals of all time have dragged it into the lowest score. 1 Star.
Really loved this album. It's varied, has a strong hip-hop, trip-hop, 90s foundation. It's sonically varied, the singing and rapping is great, and is a pleasure to listen to start to end.
a fun listen & better in parts than I thought. The Fun Lovin Criminal & Crime and Punishment as examples 3/5
Definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I kinda dig the "rap rock" vibes. Scooby Snacks was one I've heard before and it's great.
Some albums I don't like but understand why they are on this list; but this one I don't like and don't understand why it's here. Why is it here? Even the little wikipedia blurb can't give us a good reason or one at all.
I liked the album. Healthy mis of hip-hop and instrumental music, not simple drum-machine beats. Cannot judge lyrics that much. I liked the genre variability of the songs - some of them are classic funk, some of them - hip-hop, some are pop soapy stuff and some tracks are pretty heavy. I did not expect the album to be that good. Most remebered track - Smoke 'Em. Sounds really noire due to contrabass.
This album was such fun. I was lovin’ this! It’s criminal that I hadn’t listened to it before! You see what I did there? Yeah, that was about as subtle as this album was. I had actually totally forgotten about these guys. Then Scooby Snacks came on and I was like “Oh yeah, I remember this!” It’s fine. That song is cool, and there are some other good grooves on this record. Nothing that is winning any Grammy’s, but it was fine. A solid 3.
Wasn’t bad but didn’t keep my interest.
Unterschiedliche Stile ...
Surprisingly mellow
Alright rap. 3 stars
Fun and entertaining. More chill rap. Not 100% why I needed to listen to it, but not disappointed
Faintly juvenile and not in a particularly fun or funny way. Wouldn't go back to this and didn't enjoy the listen.
Didn't like the first few songs
Damn. I got a rap/rock album from NERD yesterday and not only did I hate it, it made me weary of the rap/rock genre as a whole. Come Find Yourself made up for that in a major way. An interesting blend of hip-hop, jazz, rock, ska - I found myself excited for what was next. The album was extremely well sequenced, alternating track styles to keep it entertaining (We Have All the Time in the World into Bear Hug being the most striking) and ending with the excellent closer Methadonia. The biggest blemish on the album is the song Scooby Snacks, which totally breaks the vibe with tacky Pulp Fiction Snippets and a cheesy popraprock chorus. All around an impressive listen. 4/5
Vraiment original et amusant
Plusieurs bonnes tracks et style rap-rock bien réussi.
Come Find Yourself is a really darn good hip-hop album. I always really love it when hip-hop albums combine their sound with other genres with this particular album combining it with funk rock music. I find that the elements from both genres were used very well. The hip-hop stuff was where the rapping was really fun which makes this band really earn their name and the lyrics and samples were pretty solid too. The funk rock was where the music was also incredibly fun to listen to as it could be so groovy and still fit each song to a T. I do feel that there are some songs here which are rather forgettable which does cause this album to get docked a star but all in all, this is a great album. Best Song: Bombin' the L Worst Song: I Can't Get with That
Meaning to listen to FLC for a long time. Perfectly enjoyable but some of it didn't stick as much. Another that suffers from being a bit long.
I don't know about this being in this list. I don't mind them, I saw them back in 2001 and they were a fun time. Some nice grooves, some ok relaxed rapping, nothing feels especially ground breaking. The scooby snacks track has a great chorus, but the verses just kind of exist. I dunno, I just can't get particularly excited about this. It's not something I'd expect someone to tell me I needed to listen to and I'm not sure I did.
Better than I expected. Fun!
Fun, enjoyable experience. Interesting genre fusions, good hooks and verses. Liked the classic rock samples. Nothing I was blown away by.
This had some great instrumental moments but the vocals dragged it down. Wasn't a fan of the more "traditional" hip-hop style tracks
Lots of hate in the reviews for these fellas. Me, I’ve never heard of them, so I got no history of hate. Now I’ve listened…. No hate. No love either.
Great album love the rawness
I wish I would've found these guys in 1996 when I was still a young teen. I love the infusion of blues and the occasional guitar riff disruption. 3.5 stars. Notable tracks - The Grave and the Constant, Bombin the L, King of New York
Fine 90s hip hop
3 star - Blues and rap - its actually pretty good. A lot more fun than the usual rap/hip hop album
Fun and chill
What a blast!
Fun album. Reminds me of various things: Beastie Boys, Beck, Sublime. I think I had heard the title track before, nothing else.
A low 3 stars, but a higher low 3 stars than the low 3 stars I gave Aerosmith's "Rocks" yesterday.
Not sure I needed to be reminded this subgenre existed - these guys, Sublime, Stereo MCs, and I’m sure others I’ve happily forgotten. Instead of fusing hip hop with metal, we get stoner rock with rap - and making the two genres kiss does not improve either.
painful
i thought this was kind of fun, idk. not something i expect to revisit in the future, but it wasn't a bad listen. not sure how important it was in the longterm, but eh.
this isn't an amazing album by any stretch, but it's decent rap-rock that explores different genres while remaining light-hearted and fun. it doesn't take itself too seriously like a lot of other albums in this space, which is nice. on the other hand, parts of it haven't aged well and i'm really not sure how it made it on this list in the first place. favorites: the fun lovin' criminal, passive/aggressive, scooby snacks, bombin' the L
I absolutely loved this growing up. No world where i can review this objectively now. Still love it!
Sometimes I forget that 1001 Albums is centred on UK culture, and then some seemingly random album will turn up and it's like "Wait, really?" and then it turns out it was like a number one platinum hit in the UK and the act is playing arenas but they're relatively unknown back at home in the US. And that's kind of what happened here. Come Find Yourself is a good album but it seems more good in the sense of "they were the first to make a cohesive, mainstream album in this particular new music style". It's very mid 90s, in the way that the mid 90s was aggressively masculine and everyone was going around quoting Tarantino dialogue. Most unexpectedly good song - the cover of the James Bond theme tune "We Have All the Time in the World".
Sian 4 Deb 2 combined score 3
Unas mezclas realmente raras de géneros en su búsqueda - infructuosa - de algo. No creo que encuentren nada.
....
I felt as if this was a solid debut album from a band I’d never listened to or heard of before. The blend of rap and rock made for an enjoyable and fun listening experience. I would definitely check this album out again!
Scooby snacks! Forgot about that song. I always thought bloodhound gang sang it.
Who doesn't love a song called Scooby Snacks?! Not my thing, but I can dig it.
Loved this album.
First thought on seeing this before I listen while working “oh that’s gonna be rough” 1 song in “oh shit. I guess I like Fun Loving Criminals.”
Scoobies!
Scooby Snacks aside, this is an album that benefitted from Britannia Music Club and Huey Morgan being front and centre ... certainly not one of my 1001 Albums, but not horrendous
A couple of good songs, but overall, I'm once again confused as to how this is an ALBUM I need to listen to before I die
This is one of those bands that saw the rise of bands like Sublime, 311 and Incubus and thought they could be part of the glory, but fell short. It's not terrible music, but it lacks the substance and innovation that those aforementioned bands carried of this style. The lyrics are amateur and uninspiring, even cringe at times because of how cheesy it is. Happy that I lived through this era of music, but I'm also happy that it has since faded into the abyss of time.
4/5 really liked this rap album
Respect the pulp fiction edits.
Mediocre rap, mixed with mediocre funk, mixed with mediocre rock. Unexciting, not massively offensive but wouldn’t listen again.
This album was pretty good. Not great. It sucks it was 1996 because this sounds like it’s trapped there. A couple more years and this could have really breathed. Otherwise a very chill time.
This was a really fun album. I had never heard of this band, and am really shocked since their song is so great. Their pop/ rock/ rap mix doesn't seem good on paper, but they nail it in this album. Each song is from a similar place, but presented differently (I assume, in part, by the different members) and that keeps the album fresh by moving from bouncy jazz inspired songs, to the slower lovey tunes, then to something deep with social commentary. Favorite songs: The Fun Lovin' Criminal Smoke 'em King of New York Crime and Punishment
stupid asf. sorry to these men but i only have room in my heart for one goofy hip-hop trio of white boys from new york city. cool tarantino samples i guess…
okay i dont need to listen to much of this to know it's not my style. it reminds me of the kind of rock from the 90s/early 2000s i really don't love and topped with pretty dumb lyrics and some guys with no swag
Horrible
NOBODY MOVE THIS IS A ROBBERY
Hmmm. Odd. When I saw this generated I immediately went "oh, cool, I remember this, it's a fun little album". But listening to it, I can't help but feel this is really... juvenile. Especially compared to Tito & Tarantula whom I incidentally listened to not too long ago as well, and whom I associate with the same period. So... dated in sound and lyrical content, not as much fun as I remembered, but not objectively horrible, either.
Expected to find this at least a little better.
Hey, Fun Lovin’ Criminals. What is likely to be the most niche act I know of on this list. I listened to their fifth album, Livin’ in the City, through my Dad’s CD collection a few years back. While I didn’t really like it, How It Be is a great song. Not one I return to regularly, but I always have a good time whenever it’s on. I don’t remember much about Livin’ in the City, but hoo boy if this album ain’t different from what I was expecting. Very rooted in hip-hop with some doofy mafia shenanigans in the background. Both aren’t my cup of tea, though I can’t fault this album for daring to be unique. The Fun Lovin’ Criminal is a solid opener. I like the rambunctious instrumental, especially that brass instrument from around the chorus. Passive / Aggressive is a good follow-up. The booming instrumental pairs nicely with the big city crime theming. Same goes for the looping electronic sounds that appear in the verses. King of New York is also pretty catchy. Other songs are kinda baffling. We Have All the Time in the World is the best example of such with its intimate sound and lyrics. Methadonia is another strange one, even more-so because it’s the closer. The second half of this album really suffers in quality, with there being an oversupply of tracks that fail to hook me. A lot of the instrumentals on this album also have a general muddiness to em that is pretty unappealing. I think this can be owed to the bass guitar, though I’m not entirely sure. I’m curious to know why this is on here. Book time or however the plagiarism goes. A whole lot in there about the eclectic blues/hip-hop/rock/gangster influence and little else. There’s very little about this album on Wikipedia, too. Yeah, I think this one can do with being snubbed. I respect the artistry and genreblending approach, though this album doesn’t have much of a timeless appeal in the current year. Very dated. In place of this album, I humbly submit The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse for inclusion on the list.
Headache
This might be my favorite hip hop album on this list.
Bass and beats sameness. Not bad but less than the sum of its parts.
Me surpreendeu positivamente por ser algo mais dançante do que estamos acostumados.
its fine but kinda poorly aged.. didnt need to hear it before i die but im not mad that i heard it
Pretty generic, but there’s some groovy instruments and flows sprinkled in there. Lyrics don’t really do much. Scooby snacks is tight.
2+
Better than expected but I am still not a hip-hop lover even though I am enjoying it more and more.
Fine
More dated than my older sister, but fun nonetheless (same).
Surprisingly not that bad, album was all over the place with lots of different genres mixed into Hip hop
Trying to be too many genres
Fun and immature
I am not someone who regularly listens to hip-hop, but I really like this. It was surprisingly melodic and the lyrics were awesome. Well, I listen to it again? Probably not.
Forgot how much I loved them! Fun loving indeed. Good sunny day trundler but bit samey by the end
The band name and occasional lyricism hold back strong beats here.
Huey Morgan... Scooby Snacks... Somewhere between a decent band sound and a mediocre hip hop sound. I don't have the enthusiasm to articulate these into a complete review.
La duda es si este o el siguiente es mejor. Aquí sacaron 4 sencillos como The Grave and the Constant , el superéxito Scooby Snacks, The Fun Lovin' Criminal y King of New York. También otras buenas como We have all the time in the world (Louis Armtrong) o Bombin' the L con samples de Lynyrd Skynyrd (Free bird) Deep Purple (Smoke on the Water nada menos). Se agradeció y mucho en plena vorágine Grunge-Brit-Gangsta una música como la suya. No son nada del otro mundo, pero se escuchan de maravilla y aguantan el paso del tiempo.
Decent almost a 3.
8/10 silly cheesy fun, a bit dated but still a good time
jo
Some great songs
Banger. Really fun and energetic. Very unique sound and sampling, almost unlike anything I've heard from a rap/hip-hop album.
Really fun, reminiscent of beastie boys but more lowkey. Great beats and production.
Fun little record.
really innovative for rap. the vocals were definitely giving hip-hop but the instrumentals drew from a bunch of different genres outside of rap. really cool mix of songs. i liked the scooby snacks reference. probably a 4/5.
I did like a few of the beats and lyrics on this one. Doesn’t have the weight of a lot of the other more mainstream hip hop album hits that I’ve heard from this time, but it holds its own well.
The Fun Lovin' Criminal 3.2 Passive/Aggressive 3.5 The Grave and the Constant 3.3 Scooby Snacks 3.4 Smoke 'Em 3.2 Bombin' the L 3.3 I Can't Get with That 3.5 King of New York 3.4 We Have All the Time in the World 3 Bear Hug 3.1 Come Find Yourself 3.3 Crime and Punishment 3.4 Methadonia 3.3 Score: 3.3
Actually a decent rap album with fun music and not too heavy on the rap aspect. Good rhythms without being overly vulgar or ridiculous. 4/5
point2.
Pretty good record, production is a good example of post ill communication hip hop. I dug it more than I thought I would.
It was ok.
á köflum barnalegt en samt skemmtilegur tíunda áratugar bræðingur. minnir nokkuð á beck ef hann væri með framheilaskaða og dellu fyrir glæpamönnum í njú jork. 3,5.
Feels like it should be listened in summer. Which it is. Scooby snacks was still fun despite it being overplayed in my university halls (with one person always acting it out...). The second half wore thin (including the what a wonderful world cover) and easily forgettable until the last two.
I listened to this album quite a bit as a teen. Funky laid back hip hop with some nice trumpets and bass lines. Where there are heavy guitars I don't think they add anything, "Scooby snacks" and the very chill "I Can't get with that" were highlights for me. I don't think when I first heard this I'd have really known "we have all the time in the world" except maybe from bond so all I can think is were they trying to bring it to a new audience in a time where music was less accessible... either way it's not a great cover and didn't add anything. Towards the end of the album it drops off but it still stands up in the main.
Some of the tracks have good backing. The rapping lets it down. Not sure why they cover Louis Armstrong 2/5
It's fun. Rocked along nicely. Scooby Snacks and King of New York are standout tracks. Glossy production.
This has aged not nearly as bad as it could have due to the chilled out funky vibes of the majority of the record. The more hyped up moments are a bit more cringe inducing for me because they are aiming to get me amped and at excited but instead make me feel like an uncool uncle at a kid’s birthday party. None of it’s particularly good, but it’s not in your face enough to offend too heavily. If you ignore the mediocre rapping there’s enough here to pass the time.
I like the chill bits, I hate the fun lovin’ criminal bits.
Interesting kind of alt rock/rap genre. Nice bass beats.
I'm all for more 90s hip-hop being represented on this list and have never heard of these guys, but this is pretty wack. Get the heck outta here with this
This was a really pleasant listen. More of a rock record with rapping. Tight ensemble playing that serve the songs. Great melodies and pacing. Smart use of samples
No início achei até um pouco interessante, mas não passa de hip hop zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Solid jam.
Some fun lovin hip hop! FLC is that great band you’ve never heard of. It was fun reconnecting with this album. Definitely have to listen to them more often. Scooby Snacks is always a fun tune, but so many more great tracks here.
I’ve never heard of this group, but I liked it!
Didn’t love this. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood for it today.
Proto Linkin Park or POD with the rapping. Also has ska-like with the horns. Genre-bending, but not for me.
This was so 90's that the nostalgia nearly caused a physical response in me. What was surprising is how not terrible about half the songs were.
I got halfway through. It's honestly pretty fun, some good grooves/beats. But it's pretty cheesy and shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Seriously, these guys over Sublime?? Fuck outta here
Yeah this was fun
Rap rock projects are always ambitious, simply because of how difficult of a genre fusion it is to pull off. This album does not pull it off.
Enjoyable enough, with some standouts - Scoobie Snacks is still a jam. Some of the rapping feels a bit cringe. 5/10
I didn't hate this, scooby snacks being on here definitely brings it up to a 3. Some other bangers too
Formidable talent hidden behind a jocular romp. What's not to love?
Nothing really makes sense to me. I didn’t like anything on this album, sorry! Dropped halfway through
I enjoyed this. Lot's of fun. 3 stars
I like it. The lyrics are serviceable, but the instruments are pretty good. A lot of fun to listen to and worth listening to.
Should be renamed the whack album
The beats were actually kind of decent, but completely wasted on this group. So repetitive, uncreative, and droning.
Why?
Mä en ymmärrä… kai noissa sanoituksissa on sanomaa, mut en jaksa kuunnella, kun taustat ja räpin sävy on noin kuolettavan tylsät.
Hyviä tyyppejä, joita skene ja kaveripiirit yliarvostavat heidän luontaisen (ja kukalla tehostetun) lunkiutensa vuoksi.
Vähän jätti kylmäksi jotenkin 2/5
Luojan kiitos rapin ja rockin sekoittaminen jäi pääasiassa viime vuosituhannelle. 2/5
This feels like the Kidz Bop version of Limp Bizkit. At least those guys had an edge to them.
CAKE at home:
concussed
This album was a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, I didn't like it, but after listening to the first song I thought I reaaally wouldn't like it. I think I am not a fan of rock/rap?
A little nostalgic. A little dull. Fine.
Juvenile blues / hip-hop crossover stuck in time. If you could smell an album, this would be giving smelly socks, pot noodles, Lynx and the cheapest weed available. It's value (if any) is that it is quite emblematic of the time it was made. Cinema was all about drug dealers and criminals and some good hip-hop had been kicking about. Another comment likened this to Tarantino and The Beasties. I would say it's more like one of those cheap Tarantino knockoffs like 8 Heads In A Duffle Bag or Get Shorty smushed up with the worst white rap like Bloodhound Gang or - dare I say - Insane Clown Posse. That is to say, it's lacking in any substance whatsoever, inside or out, and holds only a faint glow of nostalgia because it is old and so am I. This one should have been left in the primary school disco.
Great! Nice groove. Liked the harmonicas.
this project has taught me 2 things: (1) there are a ton of mostly-forgotten britpop and britpop-adjacent bands with one or two semi-classic albums (2) the beastie boys inspired a ton of white guys to do genre mashy sample-heavy quirky silly hip hop stuff. as far as those go, these guys aint beck, and they certainly aint the beastie boys, but id be much happier to revisit this than like, g love and special sauce. the genuine roughness and grittiness in the vocals is kinda unique but maybe leans a bit too far towards sorta uncomfortable pastiche to me, i prefer the more overtly quirky delivery of similar acts. but the actual hooks and beatwork are actually v steadily fun throughout...the bangers are cool, but the overtly (and sometimes surprising) euphoric moments are my favorites, definitely illustrative of the great moments that can arrive from bringing together well-chosen samples. the whole record is a surprisingly good illustration of that! and the eclectic genre interests feel surprisingly well developed beyond pure novelty, prob the closest they get to beck's best qualities. a weird inclusion but not an unwelcome one
Okay, so you mix some bargain-bin Beastie Boys energy with watered-down blues riffs and think you've found a vibe? Nah. It’s got that “cool older cousin” energy, but the kind who peaked during the Clinton administration. There’s a track or two that almost works, but then they start talking again. And that’s not a compliment. Feels like a joke nobody had the guts to end early. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions: - The Fun Lovin' Criminal
Belesno stariii, kakav feel good!
nije moj đir, al uopće nije loše!
This was fun. Overall great instrumentals, but the vocal work felt like it stayed in the backseat too much. 'Methadonia' was my fave.
Never seen the appeal of FLC. Scooby snacks and opener are fun tracks - but massively overplayed which has diminished their appeal for me. The rest of the album is forgettable. Fun fact I used to see Huey walking his dog on regular occasions and have dog chat as we both had puppies at the same time.
Come Find Yourself Haven’t thought about or listened to this in years. I had it on CD around the time it came out. I’m not sure what prompted me to buy it, I think it might have been the King of New York single, as listening now it gives me a very strong Proustian hit of summer 1997. It certainly sounds very mid-late 90s (in a good, interesting way) with its movie dialogue samples and very Beck and Beastie Boys, 70s soul and blues influenced rock and rap, and it’s still very enjoyable, even if there is a fair bit of nostalgia tied up in it. It is also a bit inconsistent, or at least for me not every track works. When they are hitting the more soulful, bluesy, jazzy grooves like The Grave and the Constant, Smoke Em, I Can’t Get With That, King of New York, Bear Hug, Come Find Yourself or the catchy pop of The Fun Lovin’ Criminal or Scooby Snacks, it's really good, with some excellently arranged horns, but when they are at the overdriven rock out end of things it it’s far less successful. Passive/Aggressive isn’t great and although I quite like the idea behind Bombin the L with the Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Judas Priest interpolations I don’t think the end result really works. And despite some nice guitar moments I’ve always thought the cover of We Have All the Time In the World is a bit odd. Still, it's a very nice reminiscilisten. Some of it is great, some less so, and despite only being 50 minutes it does feel a little long. I would definitely listen again, but not sure it quite gets into the 4s, so I’ll go high 3. 🚬🚬🚬 Playlist submission: The Fun Lovin’ Criminal
Confounding my expectations, this album holds up surprisingly well, if anything getting better with age. It feels like there's a lot of sampling because the hooks feel so authentic - like in 'The Grave and the Constant'. A feel that could come from the rolling grooves of Curtis Mayfield or the stringed soul-funk of Isaac Hayes. And yet there's rarely sampling. Then you have the tentpole tracks, the festival crowd pleasers if Scooby Snacks, and the marvelous Fun Lovin',' Criminal. I listened to 'Methadonia' as I flew in at sunset into the UK and it was rather beautiful. When I checked the map I was over Birmingham. Amazing how good things can seem from a distance.
Why did I NEED to hear this album? It’s a bunch of nothing. I am starting to second guess this list…
1. fun - 0 2. pazzive - 1 3. grave - 0 4. zcooby - 0 5. zmoke - 1 6. bombing - 0 7. get - 1.5 8. king - 0 9. uuorld - 1.5 10. hug - 0 11. find - 0 12. crime - 1 13. methadonia - 1.5 RATED 1 ZTAR ZINCE NOT ABLE TO GIVE A ZERO
There's that one song that samples pulp fiction and a bunch of filler, so unnecessary
This album really left no impression on me at all. I can't find any real fault with it, but nothing stands out either.
Not for me.
Scooby snacks was fun in the mid 90s l, and a nice little blast of nostalgia. The rest is pretty forgettable, and I'm bemused why it's on the list.
Meh, this sucks. It is a weird juvenile hip-hop rock fusion that does no favors to either genre.
When this popped up I was a bit shocked. Stoner, frat-bro rap? WTF. Being someone who came up in the 90s, I know a lot of guys who loved this album, The Suicide Kings, Andy Gracia, and, for giggles, a little Bloodhound Gang. As for why this would be on the list, while not high art, it is a good example of 90s fusion rap. It's listenable, well made. It has flaws like being over long (I blame the CD Format) and they aren't the greatest rapists or singers. Some decisions made on this album have not aged well, but many production and writing decisions from the 90s have not aged well. The whole album screams 90s which is why it's on here, I guess? Reasonable people can disagree but I every time will take this over 'Hooray for Boobies.'
This is such a wtf pick and Scooby Snacks is so booger that I want this 2.5 to be more on the low side. But the truth is, it's an OK album with some decent jazzy beats and even a couple songs I like. It's worst sin is being boring. 2.5/5
ei kummosta mutta respect albumin sointuvuudesta soi hyvin
Absolutely does not need to be on this list.
What?
Don't take Fun Lovin' Criminals too seriously, and this is an enjoyable ride. Soulless, yes, but enjoyable.
Dangerously close to becoming too stupid for its own good. It’s a fun listen though - that saves it in the end.
It’s like the love child of Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill but it grew up in jail. 5/10
Rating: 7/10 Fun album that blends rap, rock, blues, and jazz. Some of the songs are a bit redundant but a good listen overall.
I remember getting this CD as a teenager because of the Scooby Snacks song. There are some other incredible songs on this album, and it could be bias because of nostalgia but this is a most excellent album.
A stinker? Well, it wasn’t THAT good.
Hadn't heard of this group before, but I had a great time listening to this! Starts of with the title track, a total banger. Good mix of rap and country (strange bedfellows, but it works). Passive/Aggressive has some really good rap. The Grave And The Constant was nice and chill. Bombin' The L has some good rock music along with the rap. I Can't Get With That is smooth and chill, as is We Have All The Time In The World. Come Find Yourself has some fun music. Methadonia was really smooth, with a killer harmonica sound. The rest of the songs were solid, some good rap and hip hop. Best song: Fun Lovin' Criminals
That was not something I needed to hear before I die.
Surprised and perplexed by the inclusion of this album. I always saw them as novelty one hit wonder band and even more shocking their most recent release was in 2023 (it’s 2025). I’ll give a fair chance, being that when it came out in 1996 I bought a copy. Beyond “Scooby Snacks” and “Fun Lovin’ Criminal” the album didn’t leave much of an impression on me. Yeah now I remember why I only listened to only two songs of this album when I owed it. It’s a not good album, let alone one anyone would need to listen to.
Was my first time listening to it and thought it was really good and slapped hard
3.5
Nostalgia hit for sure but I love this damn record...
Meh an alright rap album 3/5
7/10 Consistent flows and great rhymes, sorta reminds me of MF Doom. However the delivery falls flat on a lot of the tracks and that’s where it loses me. Left me desiring a lot more as a hip-hop fan
This is entirely new to me. As I mostly associate the New York rap scene with gangsta rap and later on concious hip hop this isn't something I'd expect to ever come across on my own. Looks fairly fresh and interesting, seems a nice break from all of the classic rock I've been getting lately. The Fun Lovin' Criminal The instrumental has a lot going for it, really like the horn sample. Has a pretty cool bassline as well, and the harmonica adds some depth. The lyrics are just fine with some fun rhymes, with the vocals adding a fairly effective performance which works for the song, but never really blows me away. Decent. 3.5/5 Passive/Aggressive Smooth, chilled out guitar sample. Combined with the slow bass and laid back drums gives a really mellow atmosphere. The sound of that chorus really contrasts with the rest of the track's energy. Nice distortion. While being a moment of musical whiplash I feel like the decision to put the listener in juxtaposition between two very different vibes keeps them interested in the track, preventing it from melding into the background. I found the lyrics a bit too referential at times. Decent. 3.5/5 The Grave and the Constant Surprised by the sonic variety when it comes to the sampling. Great instrumental around the chorus. While the lyrics there don't really do much the horns and guitar makes it more than worth repeating. The verses don't exactly captivate, but I guess the performance adds to an enjoyable atmosphere. Good. 4/5 Scooby Snacks Pretty cool bass sound. Interesting Pulp Fiction sample. Paints a pretty fun fantasy with the storytelling. The slight abrasiveness of the vocals on the chorus makes the song seem lighter and less serious. Combined with the ridiculous euphemism for weed the track seems pretty fun and likable. Has some personality to it. Decent. 3.5/5 Smoke 'Em I'm unsure about this instrumental, feels too cinematic with that lingering horn. Doesn't fit that well with the lyrical content. The chorus isn't great either, goes on too long providing little of substance. The performance on the verses is fine, I like the raspiness in his voice. Average. 2.5/5 Bombin' The L Was not expecting that Smoke on the Water distorted guitar riff. Free Bird sample is weird. Can't really get behind the premise, at least it's not boring though I find it quite messy. Average. 2.5/5 I Can't Get With That Love the instrumental. Really smooth. The political commentary comes across in a simple and clear way. The guitar solo adds some weight to the track, and sits really well on top of the mellow beat. Effective track. Decent. 3.5/5 King of New York Funky disco beat. The flow feels really old school. Charismatic and fun. Feels sort of effortless. Love the chaotic instrumental towards the end. Decent. 3.5/5 We Have All The Time In The World Pleasant. His voice is kinda weak for this type of song. The breathines contrasts a bit too much against the warm instrumental. Having this here definitely adds to the album by providing some warmth and melody. Surprisingly well executed despite its limitations. Decent. 3.5/5 Bear Hug Was expecting something like this after the slower previous track. Fun energy. Simple but works. I like the harmonica sample. Feels a bit dumb, but it's not bad. Fine. 3/5 Come Find Yourself Takes a bit too long to get going. I don't like the whispering at all. Slow and boring. The flow is really predictable on the verses. Really repetitive. Dislike. 2/5 Crime And Punishment God-awful beat. Sounds like an alarm. Way too loud and mechanical. Improves, but loses all sense of individuality. Has some alright commentary, though the strokes seem a bit too broad for it to actually be saying anything. Dislike. 2/5 Methadonia Smooth. I like the instrumental a lot. The vibe is immaculate. Kinda confused by the lyrics, not sure if pro or anti drugs. I like the energy of the track, the performance goes very well with the instrumental. Decent. 3.5/5 Not sure what I'm gonna call this. Strange and confused is the first thing that comes to mind. I'm genuinely not sure what to think. There's a lot of instrumental moments that sound nice, though I'm not even sure if it's original work or a sample I'm hearing half the time. But even if I find it quite pleasant at times I'm never really hearing anything I find too exceptional. Most tracks are just average to decent, never really doing anything too special with their sound. The flows are boring and predictable and while the performances do feel pretty thought out they never really stick in my mind afterwards. While varied they never really seem to land on a style which they excel at leaving each track feeling a bit undercooked. Lyrically is where they lose me the most, there are very few memorable lines, it's fairly repetitive and the commentary is often too broad to have any real meaning. When it isn't it's difficult to separate satire from their real feelings. There are also so many referential comparissons which makes the tracks sort of predictable. I do however find enjoyment in how little they take themselves seriously endearing, and I find the way they embrace their flaws also to be charming. And while not every single strange sample or experiment works I appreciate them for trying to sound different. It leaves for a more fulfilling experience when the band doesn't feel like they have to safe everything. I'm gonna be a bit harsher with my score and give it a 2.5/5 leaning closer to a 3/5. Even if it doesn't reflect the individual track ratings. I think individually many tracks are stronger than the final rating, but as an album it's just so messy that I can't help but deduct points from it. Fave track. The Grave and the Constant Least fave track. Crime and Punishment
Why is this here? I don’t need it.
Groovy man. I love this album. When I first heard it, it was a revelation, but they're just a great band. A wide mixture of styles, but they all seem to gel effortlessly.
Som gangsterrap från Örgryte
Everything I like about this album has to do with me recognizing the original songs they sampled. Reminds me of a Tone Loc meets G. Love.
I like this album, decently chill and fun
Haha this album is horrible
Not a fan of the rap-rock parts of this and I think it's a little incohesive for a 50 minute album
Some cool samples, but not very good. The album also jumps around genres a bunch, without excelling at any one in particular.
Sykt 90s jeg kan ikke forklare hvorfor. Jeg likte det - litt langtekkelig i lengden though. Fave lyric: “Ladi dadi, free John Gotti”
Hvorfor er dette på listen ?! Ikke katastrofe men definitivt ikke et album man må høre før man dør...
This album is like fast food, I can tell ots not great but sometimes it just feels good. Some of these songs are just dumb, but the production and sampling is really good and sometimes it just hits right. High 3.
Like if I’m splitting hairs, I’ll say 2.75…. It’s alright, some songs have a groove. But the mumble-core rapping is not my jam.
I enjoyed this album, pretty chilled overall but with some variety, I'll definitely come back to a couple of songs on the album.
Enjoyed the start quite a bit. But got bored towards the end. Still a good album overall
Scooby Snacks... And a bunch of white guy 90's stoner rap.
