Sex Packets

A solid, bass booming, old(ish) school style hip hop album with a strange concept executed with great humor and narrative. They generally pull it off well, and I would recommend this to someone who likes this style and is down for something weird, but for me, it just doesn't quite stick. It's definitely memorable, and satisfactory, but not much more than that for me.

I used to love this album cause back in the day there were not many rap albums. Today I find it repetitive and lacking substance. Fun to hear and brought back good memories

I don't think the concept of this album deserves a whole hour to be fully understood to be honest. Other than that it is actually entertaining enough and it made me smile a few times with its silliness which I actually appreciate.

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did, however it did go on for a bit too long to the point where it became repetitive

July 28, 2024 :/

I'm sure they had fun making this. Nothing very interesting in here that Young MC didn't do with better rhymes and without a concept

No sex packets for me, I'm about to become a sexual abstinent after listening to this album. It's not that old, but certainly it's not easy to listen to it nowadays. Relic of its times.

No really my thing. But, pretty good.

Very generic and samey. 2.5 rounded up.

The Humpty Dance, Doowutchyalike and Freaks Of The Industry are ok, but the rest is a bit boring 2/5

Somehow simultaneously fun and boring. Danceable but also incredibly dated, a lot more so than other stuff from 1990. Also, same 90’s problem of overlong songs just because of the upgrade from vinyl to CDs.

kinda ridiculous the humpty dance

Hip Hop / R‘n B…4/10

Aah hip hop concept albums

i appreciate the goofiness and tongue-in-cheekness of it all, but goddamn you cannot make your album this long when you have so little to say

Solid 90's hip hop. Every song feels like 1 minute too long though. Favourite songs: The Humpty Dance, Packet Man Least favourite songs: Freaks of the Industry 3/5

In the late 1980s, Hip-Hop started absorbing more of the history of Black/American Pop Music outside of samples, and started to look to other song stylings, if you will, to inform the rhymes and the flow. Jazz vocal styles started to creep in, which was cool, to hear other approaches to riding a beat, or indeed, float over the beat. And, thank the Gods of the ever ringing Note, MCs and DJs remembered Mr. George and the glorious cosmology Afronauts, Mad Scientists, and in the Jimi Hendrix sci-fi tradition, tales of Atlantis (or Atlanta) the underwater glory of Parliament/Funkadelic, the elemental (periodic abbreviation PF) body-mind groove emanations from beyond space and time. The East Coast De La and Tribe get accolades for their PF inspired wry kaleidoscopic tracks of 70s Gen X pop culture obsessions, which is no doubt why that shit is like oxygen to me. Later, the West Coast would polish down the wry and polish to chrome the chill factor samples over fat fucking basslines and beats. PF are perfect for this; they made records for people to take drugs to—an invaluable public service. Couple this will street tales and calls to party, and Dr. Dre becomes a producer on par with George Martin (no argument here—Let Me Ride is a forever song of the summer song), Ice Cube and Snoop Dog become national treasures (incrementally, we baby step to better/ the ever devouring hegemony smells money: the track makes me forget all that shit). This becomes the style most associated with PF. Not associated with the West Coast style are the northern California groups, all of whom are apparently "alternative hip-hop", a term less useful than "alternative", but hey, all critics want to coin a genre term, right? You can say fairly "alternative" bands like REM were more exciting and interesting than the Outfield, and that seems sensible, though no accounting for taste. "Alternative Hip-Hop" as opposed "mainstream hip-hop", where Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J et al sold squillions of records making great fucking records? "Alternative" assumes a pure superiority over such things, flinging "authentic" and "sell-out" shitballs at such artists. Except only fuck heads would assert that these artists were garbage. Like total morons: the white college radio dickheads who cliched their way through "underground superiority" pronouncements and "sell-out" horseshit. Incidentally, these people all love "that one DK song" but really creamed their Morrissey approved Levis about the Stone Roses, but I feel like I'm drifting a bit... From a Bay Area known for Thrash and Punk Rock, the weirdos of Digital Underground scored one stone cold classic: "The Humpty Dance", a song so ubiquitous, your pasty Me-Maw knows the groove (If your pasty Me-Maw busts out "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom", you should probably smoke a joint with her and talk that out). If you grew up in the Safe as Milk burbs, that is likely the end of it. The problem with the lightning in a bottle super-pop song is that everything thing else necessarily gets overlooked, cindered crispy by the exploding sublime pop ecstasy. The foreverness of "The Humpty Dance" as cultural totem obscures the album it came from, which is a terrible thing, because the rest is an absolutely fabulous alloy of PF samples a la De La Tribe, some bop lyrical phrasing and boogie beats weaving a sci-fi tale about a psychotropic pill that induces the sensory overload of fucking without actual fucking. Not masturbation. You take it, and the drug does all the rest: "Safest Sex there is" they proclaim. And for the AIDs terrified and stygmata afflicted Eighties, what could be better. St. George of Clinton doth say "The bigger the headache, the bigger the pillin'". We needed huge pills after the devastation of Reagan. The songs are all thematically related, highlighting different good times (music festivals, chilling with your pals, being butt naked, swimming pools, wanting to go home and get fucked up by yourself) orbiting the prospect of getting laid, which will change all previous plans for a lot of people. However, with in this sci-fi tales, the parallels to the war on drugs emerge, street crime and the life of a hustler, pop in and out of the rainbow pan-racial vision of booties shaking and boys boogying. This light approach to dystopian themes may have let folks sleep on this classic, but not me: I like gorgeous pop songs of utter despair, so give me party vibes and serious ideas, the sounds of the Underground. Shock G had to know he and his conspirators created a rare thing indeed—an utterly dancable, funky fun high-concept album that is never ponderous and contains no in·ter·sti·tial filler. This shit does not let up. It is a feature length universe of PF weirdness, bop phrasing, and sci-fi sexcapades. They should have made a movie. The poster would have had "Sex Packets" in the Star Wars font. Shock G's Nose lit up like a light saber. The tagline would be "Peace and Humptiness to You All". Get some humptiness, y'all.

Crass but good sound

Horrible

Much better than I anticipated. Early 90's hip hop is much better than I gave it credit for. Best Song: Underwater Rimes

Some ok beats but very dated. I had it on in the background while working so I didn't fully take in some of the lyrical themes. Probably for the best...

Sexy packets

One of the best albums of all time.

Really exiting album. I don't think I have heard something like this before.

Quite funky, also quite silly, definitely more memorable than the others on here

Never wanted to rate something 0 more. I would actually consider looking into how I can remove this garbage from my play history on Apple Music. Certainly will be deleting from Last FM. Just .... ew.

Extremely stupid, but sufficiently good-humoured to get away with it. It's got a fair bit of funk to it, and decent instrumentation in places. Once again, it needs some serious quality control and editing on it to take it to a fun-filled 35 minutes, instead of a long, drawn-out 65.

Beats er faktisk rigtig gode, og normalt kan jeg godt lide den der lidt mere De La Soul-agtige stil af rap, men synes den her blev alt for lang og joken er ret trådt ud når den endelig er færdig Tupac Shakur var med i Digital Underground i starten af sin karriere, måske den sjovest tænkelige gruppe han kunne have været en del af

Havde svært ved at beslutte mig for om det her var helt åndssvagt eller virkelig fedt. Endte med "virkelig fedt" fordi det gik på for mig at det minder mig ret meget om Malk de Koijn. Virkelig virkelig quotable tekster, nice beats der ikke rigtig lyder som andet hip hop på det her tidspunkt

Der gik overraskende lang tid før vi rent faktisk fik hørt om alle de Sex Packets der... Og så var det satme liderligt.

?Nah

Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air In West Philadelphia born and ...

The 90s funk and horny sci-fi are .. maybe .. fun for 1-2 songs, but getting through an entire album of it felt like work.

Early hip hop often sounds silly, so good on them for leaning into that.

That was a fun album. I had only ever heard the single the Humpty Dance, the rest of the album was quite enjoyable

It's so immersive, like I'm at an underground club

Bizarre choice for this list. Not one of the great hip-hop records over the past 45 years, but it does have that one nostalgia track that everyone has heard at least once, "The Humpty Dance". Old school rhyme style that is pleasant enough, but the stories aren't all that memorable, and the tracks go on for way too long. A 65 minute record that should have been trimmed down to a tight 43-45 minutes. The beats and samples are competent, but nothing that truly blows your mind. I will take this any day over a Gangster P-Funk album, so there is that. It is a party record, but I cannot imagine losing my shit at a party over this. For those who say you had to be there to appreciate this record, I was there, IN HIGH SCHOOL, when this record came out and I wasn't moved by it then either.

Not for me

Fresh prince without the humour

Groovy and funky.

Who doesn't love the Humpty Dance? And everyone always talks about DU like they are brilliant. I've never listened to the whole album. I'm excited to do it. It was good. I wouldn't say great. But I would listen to a few of the songs that I'd never heard before again.

Overall fun album. Enjoyed it more as it went on Standout songs: Rhymin on the Funk The Danger Zone Doowutchyalike

Cool

Well this is weird. Doowhatulike and Humpty Dance are bangers, but elsewhere it's a bit 80s cheesy, and the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff comparisons are not unwarranted. Never mind the bonus sci-fi concept suite about Jazz(y) mags of the future.

This was a very cringe album. I'm all up for a concept album, but preferably not one written by adolescents! It could have been good, but it wasn't. First and last listen. lol

A light hearted (ish) hip hop album from this era which isn't about angry sex and drugs and guns (like most of the hip hop albums we've listened to so far!) - on the other hand it's still about futuristic sex and fictitious drugs, so not that far from the usual themes! I guess the creators of this album had to make up scenarios of virtual reality sex - because I can't imagine anyone wanting to f**k them IRL. I'd sum this up by saying its cringy, immature and creepy and still pretty misogynistic. No desire to listen again!

Not a bad album but these songs are way too long. And Freaks of the Industry alone should keep this off 1001 albums you must listen to.

They had me at ‘Sex Packets.” But really, this was mildly better than I expected. Don’t love the obligatory “sexy” song, though it was actually pretty funny.

Not for me

Okay. Why is it that like half of the hip-hop albums I've gotten come from 80s/early 90s (occasionally early 2000s) rap groups that nobody talks about anymore? I'm not upset to get albums from hip-hop groups. There are plenty of albums from rap groups that I want to listen to eventually. "Three Feet High and Rising," "The Low End Theory," "Stankonia," stuff like that. I'm not getting those albums though. I'm getting the weird obscure stuff, and I'm tired of it. I'm especially tired because a lot of the albums, including this one, are kind of meh. I don't care for Sex Packets. The rapping is fine. I didn't hate it. The beats are okay. Nothing particularly stands out to me. The writing is interesting. This is a concept album, but it doesn't really go as far with it as I'd like it to. The concept is about the titular "sex packets" that are basically pills that give you a sexual experience. However, they really only bring this up at the end of the album. The other songs are just your standard 80s/early 90s hip hop affair. Rapping about rapping, rapping about girls, you get it. Imagine if the album had songs about the business of the packets or whether or not society approves of their usage or not. You actually could have a pretty neat concept for a story right there. They just don't really do anything with it. Also, this thing is pretty long. I don't really feel anything with this album. It's fine, but I don't think it needs to be on here. 2/5.

Incase we haven't worked this out... I don't like rap/hip-hop. Like not at all.

Paaaas mauvais pour du rap, mais ya rien de vraiment spécial EDIT DU FUTUR: JE CHANGE PAS LA NOTE, JE VOULAIS JUSTE DIRE QUE 420 C'EST TROP DRÔLE QUOI

This didn't hit for me

Very dated, but there is a certain level of charm to an early 90s concept album about sci-fi sex pills, if you can get past the extremely misogynistic lyrics.

Favorite Tracks: The Humpty Dance Doowutchyalike Sex Packets

Jolly enough but I wasn't sure if I was meant to be taking this that seriously. Quite fun, and well-produced, but there are other rap albums I would dig out to play before I reached for this. and the sex packets concept did wear a bit thin after a time.

This was great! The songs are the real stars, pushed to the front in the production and allowed the space to dominate. The minimal use of the Hammond organ adds a little variety. It doesn't grab you by the balls and say LISTEN TO ME. The quality spoke for itself. So good I played it twice.

I love the weird concept and the funkiness. And the filth. But the music is a little limited and one note. But it's charming as heck.

Not terrible, I just really don't care

62/100

If you like this kind of thing, it;s probably good. Not my style at all.

I enjoyed it but also I don't feel that it stood out from 90s sound much. I ended up listening to Tupac after this because I think it's the same vibe but I enjoy it more.

Wild concept, fantastic production. Some dated stuff, but very fun and cool.

Was not too impressed with this, until the line "hugging the curves and dipping like I'm supposed to do for the Underground Troupe, cause I know I'm the poop, steaming hot, stinking up the dance floor"' instant classic in my eyes.

Loved the funkiness but the vocals lacked energy

Very funky but spoilt by the misogyny

Kind of annoying, some cool parts

У этих негров из прошлого был грув, но не было чувства меры

A couple of highlights, but overall I was happy when this ended.

Bland

3.5 stars, if I could add a half

I have only heard The Humpty Dance from this album, none of the other songs. It's not bad I really like some of the other songs on the album. A good example of hip hop from the late 80's early 90's. I remember they were in the movie Nothing But Trouble, it was pretty funny despite being not the best movie.

"The Humpty Dance" is silly and great fun, but the novelty shtick wears a little thin and it's hideously misogynistic in places. Again, no idea why all albums of this genre/era need to be one hour plus.

Did not age well, but great to hear the oldies.

"And, yes, ladies, I'm really being sincere, 'cause in a 69, my Humpty nose will tickle your rear!" The Humpty Dance is infinitely better than the Ed Lover Dance or the Running Man, the Cabbage Patch, the Worm, the Tootsie Roll or any other corny dance from the '90s. When I was a kid, I really thought Humpty Hump and Shock G were too different people. The '90s was a great time for alter egos ... Humpty Hump (Shock G), Lil' Penny (Penny Hardaway), Slim Shady (Eminem), Makaveli (2Pac), The Diceman (Andrew Dice Clay) and my main man Pee-Wee Herman. Maybe the greatest story I've heard in a while is that John Singleton worked security for "The Pee-wee Herman Show" and got Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne) and Pee-Wee (Paul Reubens) to read his script for "Boyz N The Hood." Crazy story. Anyway, the title of this album has a sneaky double meaning ... and Shock G was a great producer.

Corny. I'm not sure if they got any better after 2Pac joined the following year, but this album does not make me want to find out.

If more albums on this list were like this, and not some 60's UK album this list would have been so much better. I say that while also saying this wasn't one of my favorite hip hop albums. It was good, especially because I haven't heard it before, but I've heard better even from that time period. But again, this is the music I was hoping to hear on this list, not some guy who locked himself in Westminster Abbey recording with just a three string lute. I did enjoy how some of these songs were much longer, and less short skit type songs but there were still a few moments.

I know of these guys, they were discussed heavily in the Hip Hop Evolution documentary series on Netflix, particularly Shock G and his "humpty" stuff. I hadn't heard their music until now, but it's mostly great. Old school hip hop to be sure, but almost with a prog bend to it; most of the songs are 6-7 minutes long, and the sound evolves as you listen. That said, I do think the album runs too long overall. I'm fine with a handful of long songs as an album, but I think this was over 80 minutes total. Plus, the overall theme and sex stuff is strange. Aside from "Humpty Dance," which is surely the best track on here, the other sex-related songs are just weird. "Freaks of the Industry," who can really sit through that? The "Sex Packets" concept seemed interesting at first, but then they started talking about simulating 17 year old girls. If you cut out "Freaks" and the whole Sex Packets suite from the back of the album, I think you'd be left with a great album, but then you'd have to rename it. I'll give this three stars - there's enough on here that I'm glad I heard it, but as an album it's weird in a way I don't want to return to. Favorite tracks: Humpty Dance, Rhymin on the Funk, Gutfest 89, Doowutchyalike. Album art: They really went all-in on this sex packets concept, huh? So strange that it doesn't even come through in the music until the end of the album. As far as covers go, it's interesting. Guy holding the technology of a future - apparently a little glowing condom thing that lets you commit crimes with no real victim? I don't know man, it's just odd. 3/5

Album 403 of 1001 Digital Underground - Sex Packets Rating : 3 / 5 Never had a strong knowledge of the Hip Hop scene. Only what I've heard here and there over the years. After hearing quite a bit during this project, Digital Underground is one of my favorites. A bit silly, a bit immature, maybe...but they're having a good time and not encouraging their listeners to act out.. A fun listen. I like Humpty.

A lot of the samples and music are much better than I expected. I was surprised to hear the Hendrix sample. However, I didn't really like anything else about it. It wasn't offensive in content or style, but it also wasn't something I could imagine myself seeking out again.

Pretty great 90s hiphop. Upbeat, funky and having a laugh.

An album where every random 30 second snippet sounds exactly the same has 0 reason to be over an hour long.

4.0

Wtf

fun and quirky album. to me it sounds like a hip hop album filtered through a parliament/funkadelic lens. having said that, some of the songs are WAY too long.

I’ve always liked Humpty Dance and Freaks of the Industry. The rest is alright but a little long.

Cool

Good old school hip hop but the creepy sex packet thing spoils this album for me.

barf

osea sí de una pero me chupa un huevo. 6,5/10

This album was super fun. Full of funny bits and didn’t take itself too seriously. It was made even better by the clean vocals any groovy beats backing every song. I definitely plan to revisit this album.

2024-04-20...

Not my genre, but who can resist The Humpty Dance? I can dig Digital Underground, but in small doses based on my general dislike of the genre. But this kept my attention overall.

Classic hip hop

The music's somewhat ok, nothing outstanding, but not bad. The rest, lyrics, delivery, and all, is meh.

Очень хреновый рэп. Запонились только храп в одной песне и стоны в другой.

Knowing that George Clinton and Bootsy Collins produced The Humpty Dance, explains the fun funky vibe. Hip hop was mostly gangsta rap by this point. So this was a good reprieve from the anger, a reminder that music can be enjoyable. This is a lot better than I expected. Good beats, nice samples, decent raps, chill and positive vibe. If anything, maybe the songs are a little long, but that’s nitpicking. All the P Funk bits are a welcomed delight. I will say that songs like Freaks of the Industry made adolescent boys an absolute nightmare to deal with at the time. While it’s totally fine for adults, this kind of stuff added fuel to fire for Tipper Gore’s warning label campaign. It made it easier to censor explicit political language, which was more popular. This is why we can’t have nice things. Overall, this is a pretty good album. Solid groove throughout. Nothing terribly annoying. Nice range, easy to enjoy.

This is one of the better 90’s hip hop records on this list, a relief given it lasts 65 minutes. The rhythms seem faster, funkier than most contemporaries here, while the raps are pleasantly old school, slow and cheerful. The content is often nonsense, but knowingly so. Sex Packets’s content is also largely about itself: rappers rapping that what they’re doing on this record is what they’re doing on this record, and that it’s better than the rest: the 90’s hip-hop curse of recursion. This background makes the mini-concept album at the end a gift, though it’s ultimately just a sci-fi variation of some of the horny stuff that came earlier.

A good example of how clownish and directionless hip hop could be in the early 90's. Pervy and dull in equal measure, and so goddam long..

Sounds great. Not too memorable on first listen. Maybe just my taste.

Not really into that early rap

RIP Shock G 🕊️🕊️🕊️

This is so funny. Are listeners expected to take this seriously. I think it’s so long and corny, but very good. Feels like exactly what they were going for. They’re having fun and it’s infectious, but I certainly don’t think I’ll be listening to this again. 3/5

HipHop geht gar nicht! 0/5

The music on this album is really solid. However, the lyrics are either irreverent or inane.

Fun album, from a group I’m not familiar with. Gave it two spins worth. Good driving music, but hard to take serious.

Maybe fun definitely ridiculous and completely dated. But unless it spawned a whole genre of sci fi sex hip hop that I'm entirely unaware of, this album doesn't belong on this list.

Gear: Fostex TH610 Mix: zischend, dröhnend und aus der Konserve Musik: Es eröffnet mit dem epischen 6:31 Opus "Humpty Dance" - und von da aus geht es nur (noch) weiter bergab... Wertung: 👀(👀)/5

Bros from the Digital Underground be needing a cold shower, and got me wishing the Packet Man was real.

Reading bell hooks has made me pessimistic when it comes to media consumption. I don’t think she would’ve appreciated some of these songs. “Go see a foot doctor tonight” is a wild lyric that I was not expecting.

Wow, this unlocked nostalgia I haven't felt in a while.. When I think of classic hip-Hop, like the SOUND of classic Hip-Hop, I of course think of Dre's "2001" but I also think of Sex Packets sound. Like literally, I would've never been able to tell you this groups name prior to today, the sound was just engrained into my brain and that is what I have been associating with old school hip hop all my life. Rant over, but damn this was another groovy one. Sure it's dated, sure Hip-Hop as a whole is pretty bleh during this time period, but we get some really innovative sounds here, and I love the multitude of genres here. Hip-Hop to me isn't about who spits the fastest, who looks the coolest, etc. I don't think of dudes like Eminem for this very reason when I think of the classics. Hip-Hop is an art form, and this album is that. Is this something that I would bump every day? Nah, but it is a staple of Hip-Hop and I really enjoy it. The beat selection is absolutely crazy, I don't know if I want to play Mario or Tony Hawk right now. I LOVE the interludes.

SO MUCH FUN, ITS SCIFI HIP HOP LOL. aside- tupac technically got his start in this group. This is so funky and groovy and it is silly af just every song is so hot and heavy I can imagine dancing in the club to this record. Humpty Dance to start is such a bop and a classic. You go into the way we swing tells you all you need to know about the album, they take the teachings of the furious Five and become these raunchy and funny rappers. The beats are also so eclectic and well mixed and has that old school feel while also being hype af. The album takes a lul in the middle with The Danger zone and Freaks of the industry but has a strong concept to end the album. The idea of a Sex packet is a clear motif on the opioid crisis in the 80s and it just shows how easily addiction can happen but doesn't really go much deeper but it is good to have some nuance to this conversation of comparing drugs to a sex drug. I really liked this and I want more B-boy and fun hip hop like this now.

funky. lots of drugs

Liked it a lot and would give it a five but the dated lyrics took it down one for making it sometimes hard to enjoy.

I can appreciate the Humpty Song. Then most of the other songs go on 4 minutes too long just naming cities. Ya gotta cut it off.

DU trying something different which ultimately flops but were at least innovative. The heirs to P Funk sampling before Dre did the same.

Some good moments that I’ve heard sampled in other hip hop and apparently pretty important in its place but it’s just so cringy to listen to. Sounds dated and embarrassing. It’s a whole album about some kind of weird sex drug. What?

normal

Another group of arrogant hiphop artists who think they invented the holy grail. The music, on the other hand, is groovy and funky (+1).

Would have been 3 stars if it would have been half the length

Groovy

Groovy but not something I'd return to

Un album qui a très mal vieilli. Autant la musique que les paroles. C'est un style de hip-hop qui est dur à prendre au sérieux en comparaison aux autres albums plus lourd de l'époque. Quelques pièces par ci par là se démarquaient un peu plus, mais le reste était vraiment trop long. 4/10

Oh my god I don’t care about packets.

awesome thanks

Bad 1.5

I would have loved this back in sixth grade but I'm not sure it has the staying power of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, etc.

3.5

First thing to stand out is how dated this sounds. Weird balance of corny and overly sexual. I wanted to turn this off and listen to Parliament instead.

I do not like the way they swing. The first album on this list I fully gave up on halfway through, so apologies to Digital Underground if they finally got good at the end.

Most of the rest of the album was better than The Humpty. None if it was exceptional really but it was solid. 3.5

I like the different styles of music on this album. Not great, but not a 1.

An interesting concept but feels SO incredibly dated. 2.5/5

The least sexy sex album, If I put this on during boning I'd get slapped and would have deserved it. That being said, It never takes itself to seriously and I am impressed that they could make a 60+ minute album off of a fake drug The lyrics are also pretty amusing sometimes. Best Song: The Humpty Dance Worst Song: N/A

gross gross music

Obviously the Humpty Dance is great, but I didn't really gel with the rest of the album. Good early 90s vibe, but not for me

What are we doing here folks s. Do I give this album a 2 bc pac was peripherally related to it?

High school classic. This and public enemy were some of the best music for my teen years. 5/5

Almost unlistenable.

Good beats and samples used are great - lyrics are very of their time.

The good aspects of it are ruined by every song being 2 mins too long and the cringe lyrics

Definitely not without its flaws, but I still enjoy this

024-03-06:....pas sur!

the humpty dance- we already know. 7 or 8 the way we swing- 6 rhymin on the funk- 6 the new jazz one- um underwater rimes- it feels like it would play in a knuckles mission in sonic adventure 2. 7 gutfest- 8 danger zone- 6 or 7 freaks of the industry- 7 doowutchyalike- its ok but theres no reason it should be 9 minutes packet prelude- yeah sex packets- ok. 5 or 6 street scene- what packet man- 6. why was she 17 bro packet reprise- ok

Incredibly dated but honestly still catchy and fun. “The Humpty Dance” was played ad nauseam in 1990 with good reason because it rocks. I’m glad to have heard this album. There needs to be more nautical and sci-fi themed rap. Quick movie pitch: Hannibal Burress did a bit on a podcast lovingly making fun of old school rappers and how simple their rhymes were, and I think that two minute bit could be made into a whole movie. Open on our heroes, old school rappers on top of the world selling out clubs just by going, “My name is [rapper] and I’m here to say . . .” and telling people to wear condoms and not to smoke crack. Then a Rakim-like rapper comes along and starts doing internal and multisyllabic rhymes and the old school rappers get made irrelevant overnight. And then other stuff happens. I guess a love interest maybe. Then the old school and new school rappers unite to defeat a common enemy or something. I don’t know. I don’t know how to write screen plays, but you get the idea. Call it “Rhyme of the Century”, cast Hannibal Buress, Chris Rock and Will Ferrell as LL Cool J. Make a million dollars. You’re welcome.

All very mediocre and a bit childish

It's pretty silly sometimes, but I usually have a big bias towards most old-school hip hop. So foar stahrs it is.

Listened Before? N Pretty good! Everyone of a certain age knows The Humpty Dance, but the extended mix of that and Doowutchalike are pretty good! I love this style of early 90s rap. A more innocent sound. More sex, less murder. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: The Humpty Dance, Doowutchalike

interesting more chill rap album, not as edgy.

Foxy

No, I don’t recall asking that many times about DU. Not that unique when you consider all the other sampling hip-hop of that time. Give me my De La Soul and I’m good.

not for me

Silly, not for me.

something makes me think these guys like having satisfying sexual experiences decent leg bounce music pretty repetitive tho

The Humpty Dance and Doowutchyalike are the album.

Hip Hop wie er sein sollte, jazzy und funky mit coolen Versen - naja, hochstehend sind die Texte ja nicht.

Cooler entspannter Hip Hop mit vielseitigen Songs, gefällt irgendwie

Not bad, slaps

Day55 - shock g(rip) was an under appreciated writer, rapper. doowutchyalike is awesome. this is a fun album and the sound is so much better than the doo doo mumble rappers.

Definitely dated. But sounds quite innocent and fun.

Tuneful at times but maybe I wasn’t in the mood. 2*

It was OK I think. Quite nineties.

Surprise! Enjoyed the hip hop and sampling!

The beats are actually pretty good! But I don’t think the audience will find Shock G as clever and humorous as he seems to find himself.

Big time funk. Firmly in the 80s for a 1990 result but still some solid hip hop. Highlights: Freaks of the Industry and Doowutchyalike.

I have no about these guys forever but never listened to them. Good early 90s alternative hip-hop.

Rap has seen many evolutions and changes within the last 40 years. And I era that probably doesn’t get talked about much, rightfully so, is the post-80’s/early 90’s rap you hear on an album like this. I’ve had almost exclusively bad experiences with this kind of music. One of my first truly negative reviews was of a hip hop album from this same time period. So I was apprehensive to say the least. But I won’t lie. I was surprised by this album. I could totally understand why someone would scoff at this. This is probably as horny and raunchy as hip hop can get. A concept album (I use that term loosely) about a fake sci-fi sex drug is not an idea everybody can get behind. I’m not even really behind it myself. But I find the creativity charming. Does this maybe sound like Fresh Prince background music? Yeah, a little bit. But some of the sample choices and the production style is actually more creative than I anticipated. I can always appreciate a Hendrix sample, and I was pretty proud for recognizing it on my own when listening to The Way We Swing. The way this blends funk and jazz with its sample is really cool. I think where my issues lie is in the length of the songs. Some of these are just a little longer than they probably need to be. Very few artists are actually capable of creating rap music that can go on for 7 to 8 minutes and not drag on even a little bit. The pacing is off in some places, but I enjoy parts of this because of how goofy and fun it is. I can get down with stuff like that from time to time. Rating: 5/10

Such a fun and funky album.

LOL these lyrics are sooooo stupid and funny im laughing

Hell yeah, who doesn’t love The Humpty Dance? This album gets a little tiresome towards the end, could have benefited from shorter and/or fewer tracks, but I had fun listening to it.

This was too long, both as an album and each individual song. I don't know why you'd think you need 6 minutes per song, people! Victim of the CD age? 2/5

Enjoyable old school hip hop, even if it definitely overstays its welcome, even in the shorter CD release. Of course “The Humpety Dance” is undeniable. C

El rap no es mi fuerte pero las bases molan

Was a bit wary of a Monday morning sex album. Does set an interesting tone for the week and all that. The music was good, clean(ish) lyrics and instrumental to accompany rather than overwhelm.

This is bad. Really bad. The lyrics are so cheesy it's giving me secondhand embarrassment. Firsthand embarrassment even, just for listening to it with my windows down. And the songs are so long! I love a good long song but the beat never changes and they run out of lyrics 1 minute into a 6 minute song. I'm sorry, the only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is cause the lyrics made me laugh a couple times. I haven't finished the album yet. I will, but this is the review the album is getting.

Weird but vibey

Generic 90’s rap/hip hop. Some enjoyable moments, songs to on too long though. 2.1*

fun album, not 100% 4 me, underwater rimes rules. i get it but when i see random fatphobic shit i mentally clock out lol. the way they sampled sly and the family stone and then their song got sampled by like nwa and [other group i forgot] makes me so insane to remember ppl who r like still alive or could be in the entangled web. it kinda repeats a lot. packet man was p fun i think idk my memorys bad :c 4 cause it seems important or w/e 3 in my mind bc its just kinda eh to me maybe more context would change that but im bad at searching!

This one wasn’t for me. Idk I just think the whole pre 2000s rap sound is dated to me and doesn’t click. But I do acknowledge how many folks yearn for that. If I could give it 3.5 I would.

This is the epitome of music I know is good but I associate it so much with stuff my parents listened to that sounded lame as a kid.

The beats are sick as hell and the group is having a great fuckin time. It's totally infatuating! After a few listens I think some of the group's language about "Chinese women" and raping other MC's throws off my jam when I'm really feeling it. Unfortunately this happens in majority of the tracks! Good thing the title track is sick as hell and is so wrapped up in the lore that they seemed to miss any weird bigoted language.

Underwater rimes is such a fun song to listen to, but this album just felt too long for what it was. I’m a bit too young for this early hip-hop, and that’s fine

Really enjoyed the beat and music. Need to listen again when I can dance.

No way Humpty made it on the list! lol this is wild. Wait NO! I just read that he died in 2021! Man what a bummer. Never heard more than Humpty Dance, this was actually pretty solid bars, especially for 1990

Classic Hip Hop. In my rotation when I was in high school.

frankly poor

I'm surprised that this album wasn't more popular. Not a fan of rap music but this was pretty good. Lots of different melodies and some really good lyrics.

Cheap album artwork; tacky, childish name. If I didn’t know better I would have said this was a joke act.

This album was so bad. If I never heard a song off of this album again I would die a happy person. I kind of liked a few songs, but they then were played over and over until the playtime reached 6 minutes or more.

Not for me

I need to come back to this, but I think maybe I can't rate the Sonics record I just listened to before I do this. Giving it five stars because of five year old karaoke me doing this song.

rickety raps

Fun, albeit a little more pornographic than expected. And it definitely gave the expectation of being pornographic.

More hip-hop; I like the funk beats here -- they're better and more developed than most in the genre, though you still have to wade through the artists' endlessly chattering about how tough and cool and smart and sexy and... everything they are. Boring and cringey to be honest. The first part of the album was better than the second -- the title track was just some schoolboy's extended wet fantasy -- but I will probably never listen to this record again.

This is a wild one. I love a lot about it. The beats are great, the flows flow. some of the songs are incredible, some are funny Some of the issues, (i feel like a broken record with this but)... i felt like the album was ending at track 9, and it just kept on going. It has no right to last this long. Some of the lyrics have aged poorly, some are just going over the same subjects over and over. I get that the album is about sex, but it goes in to incredible detail about how much its about sex, with blow by blow directions and instructions to the point i'm wondering... surely this should just be a conversation for the people involved, i shouldn't know this much about you. But the stuff about having the big nose in HumptyDumpty was great. not as many skits as usual in these early 90s albums, but still too much of that kind of stuff. get it down to 41 mins and we can all have a good time a 3!

1990 The Humpty Dance. I’m sure this album played at many a fraternity party

90s hip hop

A lot better than I expected. Liked the music.

Klingt witzig

The way I like my hip hop: silly. 3.5

Silly rhyming about sex. Not my thing but I did catch myself dancing throughout the album.

I remember having a tape of this rap band as a teenager and quite liking it. The first track of *Sex Packets* sure displays a very distinct and enticing "sound". Unfortunately, everything else after it can be filed as "more of the same, but less good". Plus, that particular recycling of P-Funk moods quickly became outdated by the one Dr. Dré applied for his own productions. So if *Sex Packets* remains an interesting record to listen to today, it's far from being "essential" in the overall history of hip hop. Not to mention in the history of music in the last seven decades or so. 2/5 for the purposes of this list, which translates to a 7/10 grade for more general purposes (5+2). Number of albums left to review: approximately 300 (I've temporarily lost count here) Number of albums I'll include in my own list: half so far, approximately Number of albums I *might*  include: a quarter, approximately. Number of albums I'll never include: another quarter (including this one, many others are more important to me)

It's still a good time and remains of its time without completely sounding dated. Then again, I've always had a weakness for fat chicks. Maybe that just never goes out of style.

Good beats, classic hip-hop sound, lyrics match the content of the album title and don't match my tastes, seems a bit juvenile, but it sounds like they were having fun rapping (and daydreaming about the things they were wrapping about). I doubt I'd come back to this album... but... there's a chance if the mood is right, so I'll give it a three.

Man, hip-hop has really changed. This is another one where I understand why it's here, and I'm sure it was hip at the time...but it has not aged very well (at least to my ears). It's not really fair to judge this against modern rap, and 80's/90's rap should probably have its own genre altogether, but I can't say I enjoyed much beyond "Humpty."

It was nice to hear The Humpty Dance again after so many years, but I was quite bored by the halfway mark.

2.72

Better than expected

Sexual Hip Hop

Not for me

Really dated hip hop, not sure why this needs to be on the list.

Way better than I remembered! I can see why they got air time for this one.

Boo. Some clever rhymes, but overall lyrics are kinda dumb. Also, the whole "sex packets" concept album thing is wacky and dumb, too. 2* based on the strength of Humpty Dance and some catchy music here and there.

Funny, but very dated. I expected some misogyny with the age and subject but as it was over an hour long it got too much halfway through.

Weirdo hip-hop at its best

Kudt

Some good tracks here, with fun/silly lyrics. They definitely have that sound, but all the tracks have a similar sound, so I was getting bored by the end.

The central plot was quite strange, but I still had a great time.

Has some nice songs but overall as an album not that great

Wasn’t expecting much from an album that started with “The Humpty Dance” and, well, this lived up (down) to my expectations. None of the songs needed to be as long as they were, and the few that started off okay took weird lyrical turns partway through. I just wasn’t a fan of this at all, and there are much better hip hop albums that should be on this list instead. This is getting 2 stars only because of “The Humpty Dance,” which is still a fun song, albeit too long.

Very 90s Amazing & hilarious

9 year old me thought The Humpty Dance was the greatest song of ALL TIME! I mostly don't still feel that way but actually liked this album more than I thought I would. Good, fun, humorous hip hop

Cf les autres albums de préhistorique-rap, j'ai vraiment plus la force de me répéter.

J'ai écouté cette daube la semaine dernière, et suis bien incapable de vous en toucher deux mots.

Didn't do anything for me except understand what these people like to do sexually.

I liked this. Sounds very much of its time (1990), but there are some really fun tracks. Probably too much filler though.

Very cool album, encapsulates 90s RnB/Rap absolutely perfectly. If I had one complaint it would be that the songs are a little long, which can cause some slight boredom towards the ends of some of the longer tracks. 6:00 it’s too long for this style of RnB.

6/10 there’s some good stuff here, but I don’t know, I just couldn’t really link up with it I found the concept kinda boring

Nope.

Couldn't get through it after halfway, it's repetitive in a bad way, the vocal delivery is cringe worthy and hilarious in the wrong way, didn't enjoy it at all unfortunately, the first 3 songs combined are 19 + minutes long and it gets on your nerves, beats are somewhat funky at times but there's nothing to keep it from getting stale

don't know if the songs are interesting enough to be 6-8 minutes long

Good album. I owned the cassette. I don't find that it sticks out a ton more than some others of this style around that time.

dowatchyalike and humpty dance brings this up to a 3 but man, the rest of the album isn't really great at all.

Couldn't get into this- it's just not not in my spectrum. Quite dated now.

I really wanted to give this a 4 because I love love LOVE The Humpty Dance and Doowutchyalike, but so much of this album sounds just like the other songs. I'm somewhat convinced that Rhymin' On the Funk is just The Humpty Dance with different lyrics. So unfortunately, it's a three for me. RIP Shock G.

Such a weird concept album. Lots of fun, as long as I can look past the casual misogyny of the times. Highlight: Underwater Rhymes

Hip hop has come a long way since this, thank god

Lovely stuff

Hilarious, great beats, a snapshot of 1990.

https://youtu.be/oLTN7tsiMN8?si=HKvNYLPEliVhA2bd Dated and dumb for sure but fun and made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed the more funk and r&b grooves and jazz touches. Oddly refreshing, but considering the play time, it didn't quite stay as engaging throughout as I hoped. The tone also seemed to change a little as the album progressed.

Definitely sounds super dated now, but for the time the sampling and lyrics are good. Not an album I'd re-listen to, but I'm glad to have heard it.

One of the classic albums of hip hop and on that verge of being old school and the golden age of the nineties. It is really impressive how many samples, programmed drums, synths and live instruments were combined for these beats. The lyrics and their flowery delivery is not that interesting compared to that. A fun listen but there are more interesting albums of that era.

Pretty foolish. It's got a few good tunes, but mostly it's not for me.

This is endearing, and a very different sound than other hiphop from aorund this time - NWE and Public Enemy. I did not like Public Enemy because their message was not for me, and this suits more. However, I still can't take it seriously but you're not supposed to. Fresh, but not a repeat listen for me. 6/10

Wel this sucked had higher hopes due to the name but 1/5

I did not like this at all. I can see how it would've been influential to hip hop in the early 90's, but I couldn't finish it. Lots of the same beat and talking about themselves and sex. I thought it was terrible. 0.5/5

Enjoyed underwater remix and the idea of sex packets does not age well

Very, very dated. The lyrics and flows aren’t the best. The beats are cool tho imo. Some dope samples, including a Jimi Hendrix one which really caught me off guard!

Some good tracks

Some of the album was fun and across the whole it had great rhythm, but at some point it felt more like a parody. I don’t think the album has aged well in terms of both lyrics and sound (it sounds stuck in the 90s) and about half way through I was getting tired of the album. It’s maybe closer to 3 stars than 2, but for the life of me I cannot understand why this had to be an album I listened to before I died.

cool

Favorite Songs: The Humpty Dance The way we swing You start listening to this album and start to feel a sudden urge to buy a 64 impala and bounce through the streets. Amazing funky old school hip hop album.

LEGENDARY SHIT RIGHT HERE. 5 stars.

After over 30 albums listened to, this is my first 5. This album does everything right, from good beats and flows to humor on every track. A very enjoyable listen, and one I am likely to return to.

Anyone know where I can get sex packets asking for a friend

Didn’t listen. Not a fan of funk music

I love this. It's a concept album from start to finish, and just drenched in comedy. The digital underground take all the bluster and swagger of big time performers, and turn it on its side. Freaks of the Industry doesn't get a E for its lyrics. That's a feat by itself. All this nerdy sex and swagger culminates not in actual sex, but in an eponymous Sex Packet. Just like the real thing. For sale. And you don't have to work at bedding the target of your interest. Dystopian sci fi rap genius. I loved it.

Wow. I know early Rap... but man, it is unlistenable to me! Sorry

Really horrible stuff. Hasn’t aged well at all.

This didn't age well.

3.7 - I feel deep nostalgia for this era of hip hop when artists were out there trying to make a difference, talking about how cool it is to wear a condom and to “stay in school.” I’m somehow reminded of the “urban”-leaning sitcoms on ABC’s TGIF comedy lineup (e.g., “Hangin’ With Mr. Copper”) that sometimes featured performances by family-friendly rap acts of the day. In addition to the evergreen ironic dance party favorite “Humpty Dance”, this record is crammed with high-energy, giddily goofy jams, including “Underwater Rimes” and “Freaks of the Industry.”

Some is fun, some is joke-rhymes, some is sexist foolery. Very smooth, but not my jam.

Vulgar and objectifying but at the same time infused with hip hop swagger

The Humpty Dance is pretty great. The rest of the album is very average at best. 3/5

After more than 700 albums, with 61 classified as hip-hop, I thought I had received some old-school examples of the genre, but we can always be surprised by a random album from the 90s. What a decade, huh? It's as classical as something released in 1990 can be.

A little repetitive beats/melody

It's one of those late golden age records that tried doing their own thing and never caught on, making it a one-of-a-kind record. It's wacky and silly, following in both spirit and methodology with P-funk, with more focused, developed samples and grooves, and a light, fun, interactive MC persona. This is in contrast to the hardcore abrasive style that G-funk would late adopt. Main weakness is the length. No reason for each for almost every song to be around 6 minutes. There are several weak songs that have little going for them except a nice groove, occasional impressive sample use, and some funny lines. Even the tracks I did really lack started to lose their appeal in the latter half, and I was ok with it only for the chill funky vibe. Super creative, and almost every track did stand out. Just improve the weaker ones, and cut the lengths. Favorites: Humpty Dance, Underwater Rimes, Freaks of the Industry, Sex Packets, The Packet Man

Sampling and rap done with some competence. But it's still sampling and rap, so don't waste your time. Find the creators of the original music the samples were taken from and marvel at real music.

Humpty promising & catchy. The rest, nah.

Okay

Pretty frothy? Songs go on way too long

On the whole, I would say I liked this. Wikipedia calls the genre "golden age hip hop" which I didn't know was a specific genre. I'm not a big fan of hip hop, but this is the type I like. The fictional concept of GSRAs is up my alley. Not an album I'd listen to again, especially as the songs were all so long, but I didn't mind it.

Tiresome, repetitive, dated. It has aged very badly. Its like listening to the Fresh Prince for a hour. Did not enjoy.

The concept album and the George Clinton samples drag a bit, but I will always love this album and the follow-up "Sons of the P" album for being unabashedly sexy, goofy and funny. 4.5 stars rounded up.

Spaßiges Rap-Album, welches aber in Sachen Beats und Rap-Technik dem typischen 80s-Mustern folgt. Für mich wird's erst drei Jahre später mit "Enter the Wu-Tang" interessant.

Well…for Hiphop Historians I believe this to be an important one. I sense a certain stiffness. Bored from the beginning. Sorry.

This is my most hated kind of rap, its got no bite or anything that grips you. I'm not saying all rap has to be about bitches and ho's (see Lupe Fiasco) but it needs to have something of interest, this reminds me of the Donald Glover skit about hold rappers writing raps about buying hats. These guys would be better off doing a gospel album. I hated this but its not as bad as Serge so it's 2

Nice discovery. Not a super fan though.

Nicht ganz so meins

Ah lol so that's where the humpty dance comes from. It's silly

Not my thing and this kind of rap has kinda aged out but still respectable vocal performances and great instrumentals

3+

The verse that they rap from the perspective of a fish on "Underwater Rimes" is transcendent.

Enjoyed this more than I expected. Was very confused about the concept of Sex Packets until Packet Man at the end of the album to went into great detail about what a Sex Packet was and wasn't. TLC explained Scrubs in 30sec, you had 7:20 and but felt a separate track was still necessary.

Crass lyricism meets a few good beats.

Better than expected but also definitely not an album that you have to listen to before you die. There should really be some kind of revision of the hip-hop albums that are included here

Maaaaaan... inte olidligt men nästan svag 2

On Prince levels of horny. The levity in the rhymes and vibe just really sell this thing, even if I think some of the tracks (and the album) drag in certain spots. The beats are still absolutely killer though. Also "The Humpty Dance" is an all-time classic, and if you disagree, I just can't be friends with you. Favorite tracks: "The Humpty Dance", "Doowutchyalike", "Underwater Rimes"

"Sex Packets" is a groundbreaking and unforgettable album in the world of hip-hop. Digital Underground, led by the charismatic and eccentric Shock G (also known as Humpty Hump), delivered a unique and highly creative blend of funky beats, witty lyrics, and an overall sense of irreverence that set them apart from their contemporaries. The album kicks off with the infectious "The Humpty Dance," which remains one of the group's most iconic tracks. It's a perfect example of Digital Underground's ability to craft catchy, humorous, and danceable music. Shock G's alter ego, Humpty Hump, introduced listeners to a quirky character that added an extra layer of fun and personality to their music. What sets "Sex Packets" apart is its conceptual framework. The album's overarching theme is the fictional "Sex Packets," a futuristic drug that transports users to a virtual sexual experience. The concept provides a satirical commentary on the commercialization and objectification of sex in popular culture, but it's delivered with a sense of humor that keeps the album from becoming overly preachy or heavy-handed. Songs like "The Danger Zone" and "Packet Prelude" further contribute to the album's narrative and world-building. "Packet Man" and "Underwater Rimes (Remix)" showcase the group's lyrical prowess and ability to tackle a wide range of topics, not just limited to the central concept of the album. One of the album's standout tracks is "Doowutchyalike," which encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and not conform to societal norms. It's an empowering anthem that remains relevant even decades after its release. In addition to its innovative content, "Sex Packets" is musically rich. It's a fusion of P-Funk-inspired funk, sample-based hip-hop, and a touch of G-funk that was gaining prominence on the West Coast at the time. The production by Shock G and Kenny-K is top-notch, and the use of live instruments alongside samples adds depth to the sound. Digital Underground's ability to seamlessly blend humor, social commentary, and funky music is truly remarkable. "Sex Packets" is not just an album; it's a full-fledged experience that takes you on a journey through the group's offbeat and imaginative world. It's a reminder of the playful and inventive spirit of early '90s hip-hop. In conclusion, "Sex Packets" by Digital Underground is a classic and influential hip-hop album that should be celebrated for its creativity, humor, and musical ingenuity. It's a must-listen for any hip-hop enthusiast and a testament to the innovative spirit of the genre during that era.

Wasn't sure if this was a p*sstake or not. There was some funk and some ok tunes

Okay sooo I did hate everything about this album and anybody compared would sound like an angel. Very hard to take him seriously right off the bat just because of the voice and then just oh god why is this on the list I cant I cant.

A nostalgia throwback leading off with "Humpty Dance" but after a minute or two it just ... got tiring. I think the memory of the song was/is better than how I feel about it now. The rest ... eh...? at times I found myself vibing with it but only "at times" Really most of it is that these lyrics are so bad. SO. DAMN. BAD. e.g. "Freaks of the Industry" is one of the more stupid tracks I've ever heard - a lot of that statement might reside in the fact that it would have gone from a 1 to an 8 simply if it were instrumental. TL;DR: I generally like old school hip-hop but for this I just can't dig in. I like to ignore lyrics if/when I can but even the best parts of this where/when it grooves they're too much of a distraction. 3/10 2 stars.

Amazing debut album. Genius lyrics. Funny. Funky. Just awesome.

Had not heard The Humpty Dance in a while, that was a fun surprise. This is an interesting counterpoint to NWA and Public Enemy, a kind of positive uplifting version. Lots of these songs are very long, and so is the album, and it wore me out by the end. Kind of funny and kind of baffling that they had two songs about "sex packets." The plethora of Funkadelic samples just made me want to listen to them instead.

I have fond memories of the humpty dance on MTV and at roller rinks and stuff, and I like their more whimsical funk approach in theory, but the songs are way too long - every single one overstays its welcome. Despite being described as a concept album, it seems completely unfocused. Some of the rhymes are clunky and the scratching is kinda lazy. Humpty Dance is the standout track. It's no wonder they started the album off with it. Kept waiting for another track to match it, but it never came. Though I didn't really enjoy the album as a whole, I'll give it a 3 just for the humpty dance and their general weirdness.

Beyond the first track it was pretty much background music for me. It's... fine, but not as great as other 3 stars for me.

This is now the worst thing that I have ever heard in my life. And there is sooooo much of it. Who the FUCK thought ANY of this would be worth listening too? This is so bad, it put me in a bad mood for the day. How the fuck did this shit make it to the list? And I would like to hear how many of these guys have been #metoo ed. Ask the songs are about date rape.

Hip hop

One of the albums we must hear which of course features the lyric “I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom”

So glad to now know where Coach Z got his licks from
