Nice G-Funk .......2007-03-07

Flint Michigan's DFC came out with an interesting album in 1994. Backed with production by Warren G, DJ Slip, Swift, among others, you know it will have an inherent G-Funk influence. There are however, a few songs that didn't have the best beats. "Pass The Hooter" was produced by Warren G, and surprisingly, the beat and lyrics were only average! But, there were a few songs with beats and lyrics that are among the best of the best. "Mo' Love" is an absolute classic, with a soulful, laid back Dj Slip and Swift beat, georgeous G-Funk song about showin and gettin love in the hood, a perfect rider song, and one of my favorite G-Funk songs of all time!! "Caps Get Peeled" (prod. by Slip) f/ MC Eiht is a sick hood anthem over another soulful beat! "Roll With The Clan" is another sick rider banger. The title track has a fair beat, but Nate Dogg adds in sick vocals as usual in this track about the vicious cycle called the hood; the lyrics are decent. Overall, a tight album with a handful of bangers, a few classics, yet some dissapointments. The benefits way overweigh the dissapointments though! If you liked this one, I would reccomend MC Breed's Funkafied, also from 1994; that one is hot.

I used to have this album back when it came out in the 90's. I bought it on Amazon in 2006 for $1.75 (CD). Some of these tracks could be hood classics today. Great production from Warren G. I would say this is like MC Breed's Thug Life style album.

average album.......2005-05-07

After hearing mc breed and dfc before I had a feeling this would be good. Its not a classic, but its still a good album all the way through. It has a few guest appearances from some well known artists. The beats are sounding nice and the rapping is cool too. Theres a few tracks that ain't too good, but most of the album is ok. Its not as good as breeds stuff, but definately worth getting. So make sure you pick this up if you don't have it. Later!

An Overlooked Gem (4 Stars).......2005-02-11

There's so much to be said about this album, but I don't have all the words for it. You just have to pop this in your ride and let it speak for itself. There are so many tight songs on this album that when you play it for the first time, you're going to keep on playing it for about two weeks. The song that most people will remember most from this album is "Caps Get Peeled" feat. MC Eiht (which is a classic joint in my opinion). As a matter of fact, I STILL have the 12" single and all of the remixes for that song, but there are other songs on this album that will keep your head nodding for hours like "Mo' Love", "Digga Bigga Ditch", and "Things In Tha Hood". The bulk of the production is handled by Sedric "Swift" Barnett, but MC Eiht & DJ Slip, Warren G, and The D.O.C. also contribute their talents as well.

There are a few songs on the album that seem like a waste of disc space, but not many. "Pass The Hooter" was the obligatory "g-funk" track that every rapper at the time forced onto their album due to the success of Dr Dre's Chronic LP. And tracks like "Put Your Locs On" and "2-2 The Chest" aren't bad, but they are definitely skippable if you're not in the mood for them. And "You Can Get The D*ck" is plain ol' wack.

Despite their 1st LP being overlooked by just about everyone when it first came out, DFC still managed to put out another album, but they never managed to reclaim the magic they had on this album. I'd reccomend this to anyone because it's still good 11 years after its release (Damn!! That was 11 years ago?!). There are some suspect joints, but the good ones make this album worth owning. Jump on this album if the opportunity ever shows itself.

Standout Tracks: Roll With The Clan, Da Bomb, Things In My Hood feat. Nate Dogg, Hands On My Nine, Caps Get Peeled feat. MC Eiht (My Favorite), Digga Bigga Ditch, and Mo' Love

Older but still a good disc to have.......1999-07-23

This disc is one that has a mix of different styles of rap, the album also contains both the gentle and hard core lyrics, with the smooth rhymes and the beats and bass that their matched with, along with some help from Warren G and MC Breed this disc is one that won't disappiont anyone who picks it up.
