Judgement Day 1993 Album

Pooh-Man

Due to it's so bad it's good album art, his previous album, 'Funky As I Wanna Be', has been on my to-listen-to list for a while, but due to it not being available on Spotify, here I am, and from the jump, this is great. It's just what I want from hip hop and why I cite the west coast as the best coast. The production is funky and contains catchy, creative and in some cases really well-sung hooks. Pooh can rap, and after only having heard one album, I think he can be added to the underrated list. You can't judge a rapper by their album covers, hey. One of the highlights here is 'Backstabbaz' with the O'Jays' 'Back Stabbers' lyrical interpolation but it's all a consistent hour of funky hip hop. The production it's backed by is bouncy, but I will again bemoan the 6 minutes of shout outs as the closer... Yawn... Pooh does say something interesting about Tupac though. "Tupac, what's really going on, man? You get the ass kicking award for this year. Stop beating up on people." If only he listened..
