You Can't Stop the Bum Rush

Amazon.com
It took hip-hop a couple of decades to become ingrained in pop music, but the genre's influence shows on Len's You Can't Stop the Bum Rush. The members of Len might not agree--after all, they probably consider themselves a hip-hop act, and they've got a case, what with their lineup (which incorporates a DJ and a couple of MCs), their use of loops and samples (from the Andrea True Connection, the Bar Kays, Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel, and the big mack daddy himself, John Travolta), and guests like Biz Markie, Kurtis Blow, and Mr. Dibbs. But there's something very pop at the core of Len, and it's what makes Bum Rush so special--as hip-hop becomes harder and more experimental, Len rediscover a very vital part of the history. Filled with keyboards, dance rhythms, harmonies, stoner humor, and Sugar Ray-ish party vocals, Bum Rush is pure pop for the hip-hop generation. The album keeps things light but never skimps in delivering single after single; they may all prove disposable, but why worry about that now? --Randy Silver

Something for everyone.......2007-07-23

If you only like Steal My Sunshine, then you don't like music. This album has so many different styles it's amazing it all fit on one cd. Each song is different, and you can't say that much these days. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Reminds me of summer!.......2006-08-15

I can't explain it, but this CD, particularly the song "Steal My Sunshine", has always reminded me of summer and my childhood. I grew up listening and loving that song since the day it came out, and I just recently bought it from BMG for $1.99.

It's hard to explain what kind of music is on this CD. There's some rap, hip-hop, a little bit of soul, and even some techno. I've never heard such a mix. Sure that makes it a little odd at first, but it kinda grows on you. It's a pretty good variety, but I must admit some of the songs are a little odd.

So, on that note, I would buy the single for "Steal My Sunshine" if that's the only song you are interested in, but like I said, you might be able to find this entire album for a fabulous price, like I did with BMg.

One Hit Wonder.......2006-07-20

I am a rock and roll person. I hate rap. This is a rap/pop album that first came out when I was eight; "Steal My Sunshine" was big on my list. That is still a good song, however, I don't really like their other songs. Just buy the single of "Steal My Sunshine"- it will save you money.

Awesome Mix of old school hip-hop with new school pop.......2006-01-10

Love every song on this Album. I bought because of Steal my Sunshine. I love techno and some Old school hip-hop. I hate gangsta rap. You won't find any gangsta rap on this album. That's why I like it. It plays the old school white boy rap which I love. The whole album has a fun light-hearted feel to it. It's a shame this band never became more successful.

A CD I tried to sell and no one would buy.......2005-02-10

This cd is horrible. It starts of with a couple catchy pops songs that Carson Daily liked then all the sudden, they bust out some rap. Canadians can't rap, I DEMAND JUSTICE!!!!
