more music like this
by
Afroman
The novelty success of Afroman's "Because I Got High" in 2001 was a commercial blessing for the underground rapper, but it wasn't a lasting success. When he returned in 2004 with his follow-up, Afroholic... The Even Better Times, he was no longer signed to Universal and enjoyed none of the benefits provided by major-label backing. He was an ...

I Need a Haircut

by
Biz Markie
Biz Markie, rap's clown prince, can usually be counted on to deliver goofy humor, and I Need a Haircut is as wildly entertaining as anything he's ever done. Biz isn't one to rap about his sexual prowess, drive-by shootings near the projects, or Louis Farrakhan's ideology. In contrast to the sobering gangster rap of N.W.A. and Ice-T, the angry ...

by
Ugly Duckling
It's easy to dismiss Ugly Duckling as just three white kids clowning around. Of course, the same could have been said about the Beastie Boys and they eventually turned into legitimate hip-hop artists. The trio has a scattershot comic approach, lampooning the excesses of modern hip-hop. In Journey to Anywhere, the trio attacks materialism in "A ...

by
The Fat Boys
The last Fat Boys LP to make any noise, this sixth Sutra release proved their second most successful album, peaking at 33 and earning them their last gold record. It piggybacked on the success of "Louie Louie," their last chart single. They did try to adjust to changing audience demands, cutting "Rock The House, Y'All" and "Powerlord," but The Fat ...

MC Lars
What the Beastie Boys were to the '80s and the Bloodhound Gang were to the '90s, MC Lars is to the first decade of the 21st century (which, frankly, could use a nickname a bit more catchy than "the aughts") -- i.e., a smarmy suburbanite equally influenced by old school and new school, hip-hop and rock, and armed with enough clever pop culture ...

The Diabolical Biz Markie
On the cover to The Biz Never Sleeps, Biz Markie's in the lab with his chemistry set, cooking up a concoction of colorful liquids that's bound to explode sooner or later. Inside, however, the music wasn't quite as dynamic; Markie decided to produce and write this record entirely by himself, instead of relying on help from Cold Chillin' beatmaster ...

Ugly Duckling
It's easy to understand how three guys who worked at a fast-food chain called Meatshake would have a sense of humor about the experience, so the members of Ugly Duckling saluted the place they met (and found plenty of motif material as well) for the recording of their second album. The trio flaunts the groovy tracks, tuneful choruses, and ...

Afroman
It's the same old, same old from Afroman -- drinking, getting stoned, and getting in trouble. While his subject matter and lazy flow haven't changed a bit, with Drunk'n'High the rapper has settled into a comfortable indie life as explained on the highlight "Husler Man." "Go to your computer and select it/Shop online/And I'll ship it" promotes the ...

Little-T and One Track Mike
Little-T and One Track Mike employ a strongly irreverent style of hip-hop on Fome Is Dape. Little-T handles the raps here while One Track Mike produces the tracks. In the wake of Eminem's breakthrough, these guys aren't entirely novel. Still, they're clearly blazing their own trail creatively, and it's curious that Atlantic Records would consider ...

Fresh Mode

more music like this
by
Ugly Duckling
Certain slang terms are so dated that you can't hear them without being transported back to another era. The word "swell" immediately brings to mind the swing era, while "groovy" makes one think of the hippie subculture of the 1960s. And in hip-hop, the term "fresh" takes you back to the 1980s, an era when Run-D.M.C., the Fat Boys, and Whodini ...

While comedic rap has been around since the Beastie Boys first fought for our right to party in the mid-'80s, it seems as if we've entered into a kind of golden age of "white-boy" rappers who rap it like they mean it, even if their raps are more Beck than Big Daddy Kane. Enter Jamie Kennedy. Best known for his role in the 1996 horror film Scream, ...

by
Fu-Schnickens
A 12-track summation of the group's two albums, Greatest Hits boils down the Fu-Schnickens' output to the absolute cream of the cream. Except maybe for Das EFX, there are very, very few rappers who sound quite like the Fu-Schnickens; some might match the wild, referential lyrics, some the blazing speed of their delivery, but not both. All three ...

There's a party going on during Beauty Party, Mike Ladd's second full-length in a trilogy (begun as the Infesticons and projected to be completed as the Trusticons), and it's a record as smooth and self-satisfied as the Infesticons' Gun Hill Road was abstract and gritty. Ladd hasn't sold out though, he's merely assumed the guise of the Majesticons ...

Fu-Schnickens
When this Brooklyn trio emerged in 1992 with a unique style that combined high-speed rapping, dancehall chatting, and backward rhymes with Looney Tunes-inspired voice impressions and craftily arranged hip-hop grooves, the rap world had never heard anything like it. It took the group several years to follow up its gold debut, F.U.: Don't Take It ...

Culled from five self-released albums that the band sold itself on CD-R, Straight Outta Newport is the first proper Goldie Lookin Chain album, and that's probably the first time "proper" and "Goldie Lookin Chain" have appeared together in a sentence. These eight rapping yobs are proud do-nothing, hedonist druggies who give Jay-Z nothing to worry ...

Rusty Cundieff's satirical mockumentary Fear of a Black Hat was billed as rap's answer to This Is Spinal Tap, and while it didn't quite match that film's brilliance -- partly because it was admittedly derivative, partly because it was less subtle and its dialogue less dense -- its sendups of hip-hop clichés and personalities were deadly accurate ...

When he was riding high, talk-show host/comedian Arsenio Hall got a vanity deal from MCA for a CD featuring his "alternate" personality, rapper Chunky A. This was his foray into hip-hop/novelty humor; it wasn't very funny except for the cut "Owww!," which scraped the pop charts' lower end, and "Dope, The Big Lie," a good anti-drug track. Even ...
