M.C. Breed & DFC. 1991 Album

MC Breed DFC

MC Breed had a decent career dropping albums until 2004 before passing in 2008. For an album nearly released in '92 though, the production sounds quite dated. It sounds more like an '87-'88 rap album most of the time. The production is fairly inconsistent. It changes from some high funk on 'Ain't No Future in Yo Frontin', and Public Enemy influence on 'Better Terms', to very dated basic production on songs like 'Underground Slang' (that sounds somewhat Ice-T influenced) and 'I Will Excell'. The hooks are more like what songs had in the aforementioned era as well, mostly being scratches/the beat riding with the title of the song repeated. The rapping is fine, it's a non-offensive album and one that be played through, and If this was released in the '80s I'd be a bit kinder with my rating, but I think for a '90s album the production should be of a higher quality. There's nothing worth saving for later. Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin, Better Terms
