What sounds in the description like two of the four horsemen of the musical apocalypse – rap and blues (the other two being country and techno... or was it country and reggae?) – is in reality an incredibly dull, remarkably sluggish and lacklustre album. I’ve no idea why this ended up in the ‘1001 Albums’. Is it because of ‘Cold Beverage’, which, according to Wikipedia, became a ‘college radio staple’? What’s next? ‘Popular in Polish sausage adverts’? Dull, just plain dull.
