"INSTEAD OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE PARTY, THOUGH, FUNKDOOBIEST REMAINS ON TOP THROUGHOUT..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a print advert and/or record advert for "The Troubleshooters," the third full-length album by L.A.-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released under the RCA label in early 1998. The advert was featured in the January '98 issue of "Rap Pages" magazine.

ALBUM OVERVIEW: "There’s something very fresh sounding on “Troubleshooters,” the third album by L.A.’s FUNKDOOBIEST. It could be the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.’s original approach to samples. The mad, driving swing of the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s “Hell” drives the first single, “Papi Chulo.” They twist around some verses to suit their own purposes on oldies like Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” (to “just Funkdoobiest”) and Diana Ross’ “Theme From Mahogany” (“Doobie knows where you’re going to”).

They bring back the catchy beat and sped-up vocals of Newcleus’ “Jam on It” on the remake “Act on It.” But instead of borrowing the familiar hook from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” they cop its central question: “Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?”

The delivery of rapper Sondoobie has a familiar ring — that high, whiny New York wiseacre squawk often associated with CYPRESS HILL. Yet he’s changing the voice a bit too, slowing it down with a deeper voice on a few tracks, yet still switching effortlessly from English to Spanish and back.

There are a lot of voices on “Troubleshooters” though, including Daz from Tha Dogg Pound on “Papi Chulo,” and Hitman, Hurricane G, Tony Touch, MC Fats, and a handful of others.

Instead of losing control of the party, though, Funkdoobiest remains on top throughout “Troubleshooters,” making it the sharpest rap release of the year yet."

🎧 #nowplaying #Funkdoobiest #TheTroubleshooters (1997) Foodsic Stats: 3.60 / 10%🔥 . 🔥 Track(s): Crazy Puerto Rican, Sunshine Notable producers/features: #DaBeatminerz #DazDillinger #Hittman . . . ____________ My Ratings Defined ____________ I use traditional 5-star track ratings. Keep in mind that these ratings change over time with repeat listens. o 5.00 = Masterpiece o 4.50 = Classic o 4.25 = Excellent - Has enough to be more than Solid, but not quite close to Classic. This album quite possibly will be in rotation for years to come. o 4.00 = Solid - The album is something I'm going to listen to more than a few times and will probably stay in my rotation for the next few weeks/months. Only has a few missteps within the project. o 3.75 = Pretty Good - Many of the tracks I can get into but overall nothing great here. o 3.00 to 3.50 = OK to Average - The album might have a few stand-out tracks but that's it. o 2.25 to 3.00 = Mostly Garbage – If I’m lucky, I’ll find at least one 5-star 🔥 track so hopefully m time wasn’t wasted. o Below 2.00 = Pure Shit. Listening to this was torture. #hiphop #rap #hiphophead #THROWBACK #undergroundhiphop #iamjewpac #hiphopjunkie #hiphoprap #hiphopforever #raplife #hiphopmusic #hiphopreviews #albumreviews #albumratings https://ift.tt/2HpyYA5

[Verse One] Let it go, free your mind, unwind and don't worry Hurry up, first down, my peoples up bright and early Noble, worthy, serve me with the J 30 You heard me, living the life, Lord have mercy Without sorrow, drop it like a novel Ricardo Montalban on the scene, my team's bravo."
