CD Reviews

Stand Up Hip Hop

Kurt Miller | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 10/08/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Very original LP - this album is funnier than a stand up performance with Zone's usual tripped out beats. His topics won't be new for Zone fans: On Lightweight, Zone elaborates on picking up fat chicks while drunk ("300 pounds, bad breath and door knockers, f it, that's Jada Pinkett with a couple more vodkas"). Goofs on lames with bad hygiene on Xactly and even pokes fun at his own hook ("Soap, mouthwash, floss, toothpaste, ... yeah, that's the hook buddy"). He Challenges fellow MCs to a game of b-ball on A Friendly Game of Basketball ("Bow Wow's got game, but he's 5 foot 3. Nice crossover dog, try that jive on me"). And finally in The Zone Report he gives honest criticism on his 4 albums to this point.

Bottom line: The best record I've heard since Pimps Don't Pay Taxes. On every track he spits Big L-type punchlines over complex beats with his usual crazy audio clips. Get this now..."

Probably more like 4 1/2 - 4 3/4 stars, but... great...

"This was a great album... the production (J-zone's specialty) is absolutely fantastic and the raps are hilarious at most times... Disco Ho, A Friendly Game of Basketball, Edit This and Oops!! are hilariously funny, great tracks, and there's not a single track that's not 'worthy' of being on this fine album...

Edit This is a bit of a novelty track in that J-Zone throws out a verse, with the curse words edited and played in reverse, then he switches it up and reverses all the other words and leaves the curses in... Friendly Game of Basketball is a nice little diss track regarding rappers and their basketball skills, Disco Ho is a story about being dragged to a disco, and Oops!!! well, Oops you'll have to figure out on your own...

I fully agree with the sticker on the album that said "J-zone consistently produces the most entertaining albums in the Underground" as I can't imagine this record getting Mainstream playtime/respect, even though it's a great album that is fun, witty, and above all, entertaining...

As always with J-Zone, keep an eye out for Captain Backslap and Dick Stallion... They're the funniest pimpin fools in the game today..."
