"Its rainin game in the north, oh its so flooded..."

"...and this game that I spit is so cold blooded."
Rainin Game is my favorite Mac Dre song. What's yours?

I was just listening to Back N Da Hood, the 1992 album that Andre recorded from jail. The fact that he recorded it over the phone makes the album all the better. It really doesn't hurt the sound quality, and gives the album a "real" feel to it. In a day and age now when the studios are shooting out many overly polished albums, a Mac Dre album like this is all the more timeless. RIP Andre Hicks.

My new blog

I haven't posted this summer at all, and I might bring this blog to a close.

I don't wanna be confined to posting about bay area music regardless of how dope it is.
My new blog can be found at http://audiblecrack.blogspot.com/

Visit it.

I may post sometimes here. I am undecided.

My reactions:

• "Get This Together" was clearly the best song on the album, and releasing it as a single probably was a good idea. Still there were some other very good songs on there.
  
• "Crack Baby Anthem" is a good song. The beat sounds good and fits the subject matter. Messy Marv (free him) also contributed a good verse. I think in terms of "anthems," "Get This Together" is clearly more of an appealing anthem overall. "Crack Baby Anthem" is somewhat more deep and thoughtful though.
• The beat to "Dem Cars" is hella tight.
• The features on the album were kind of whack. I would have preferred to hear Keak on one of the deeper songs, rather than on "Race 4 ya pink slips." Too $hort was alright on those two songs. The D4L features did not add much to "Goin Crazy." Fabo and Mistah F.A.B. sounded a lot better on that song "Lasso" with Chingo Bling.
• Baydestrian really is the prequel to Yellow Bus Rydah. While it is not too adventurous to pick up too many national fans, it is good enough to preserve Fabby's bay area and die hard fan base. Its enough to satisfy those anticipating YBR, but not enough to really revolutionize the rap game or anything, though the mixture between hyphy and deep songs holds a lot of potential.
