Vagina Diner 1993 Album

Akinyele

If you look at the three featuring artists from 'Live at the Barbeque', Nas went on to become one the most popular rappers, releasing one of the most acclaimed albums of all time, Joe Fatal went on to not doing anything much, and Akinyele has released a few albums but never achieved a lot, and given his 'Put It in Your Mouth' flavoured songs, he never fit the mould to make it big, so it brought about mixed fortunes. Stylistically Akinyele is a fun original rapper, with some comedic bars, adlibs, lots of songs about sex which he shows more of on future albums, and he does create some enjoyable music. This album for me has always been one with a quarter of a dozen or so of stand-outs, with the remainder not being different enough musically for it to be a classic, but it never drops off much with an enjoyable 11 tracks of boom bap. Close to four out of five stars. Best Tracks: Worldwide, Outta State, The Bomb
