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.”
