Fun, slept-on album.......2006-12-10

In 1992, Too Short's onetime west coast protege Pooh-Man dropped his debut album "Funky as I Wanna Be," a good album that received little recognition then and remains that way today. This album has great, funky production, exhibiting a lot of the characteristics that would define the west coast g-funk explosion of the mid 1990s, with slow, heavy bass, synths, and hard drumbeats. The production is handled by Ant Banks, a talented and accomplished producer who would go on to have a fairly successful solo career of his own. Musically, the album stays very consistent and really delivers. Lyrically, I find Pooh-Man to be fairly similar to a young DJ Quik, dividing his raps between speaking of ghetto experience and sex. He talks about both with style, he has a great character and comes across humorously. This album is really hard to find today, but I highly recommend "Funky as I Wanna Be."

The album begins with "N.... Ain't Playin,'" which is an upbeat track with great production featuring a funk guitar and horns and heavy bass. Pooh-Man comes across hard, displaying an impressive, fast flow and good lyricism. Flint hip hop vet MC Breed collaborates on "Don't Cost a Dime," a musically dense song that I really like. The title track has a winding, fast beat and Pooh-Man uses a sort of whispered delivery. "Mellow Man" is a definite highlight, where Pooh-Man explores his character with a nice delivery and awesome production with great keyboards. "The Projects" deals with ghetto dealings and hustling. "Playa Haters" might be my favorite song, it has an ultra-funky beat with an organ being the main component, Pooh-Man bashes haters and the chorus is good. On "Racia," Pooh-Man collaborates with Ant Banks and Too Short on the mic to discuss a certain woman. After the good "F....' Wit Dank (Remix)" comes "The Big Gangster," another enjoyable song. I love "Your D...," which has the best beat on the album and a very good, female-sung chorus. The music is bouncy and happy sounding, it's a light and humorous song. "Eatin' P..." continues in the same lyrical direction, and the album ends well with a "Mellow Man" instrumental and the self explanatory "Sex, Money and Murder."

"Funky as I Wanna Be" is a very appropriate album, because musically and lyrically this album is funky as it gets. I recommend this album to fans of west coast rappers like DJ Quik and Too Short, Pooh-Man is pretty similar to artists such as them and fans should enjoy this album. Long underrated and out of print, should you come across this album I highly suggest that you pick it up. This would be a great album to add to the collection should you get the chance, it's very complete and great to listen to.

where to start reviewing this incredible album? well, lets just say its a true classic from beginning to end. i always have it in the tape deck when i'm rollin and my boys and i never get tired of it. i would say that MC pooh is more street than NWA ever wished they were and more graphic than 2 $hort tried to be. this is a classic hiphop album and belongs in any true thugs collection. steal it if you have to.

This was Pooh before he and Short Dog started beefin, so Short is here on #7, Racia. This is a great album. #10 is the best love song ever sung, it shows the women their righteous place and treats em like the need to be treated. Remember it when its time to flex! #6 is dope. #8 is literaly dope. #11 is stupid, doe, so you can already see why $hort eventualy left this fool to hang. Bangin, all in all, worth havin.
