Versatile Funk (4 Stars)

"Here Comes The Fuzz is a pretty versatile album. R&B, Rap, Rock, there's plenty to choose from. Even the lineup of artists is versatile. Everyone from Mos Def to Nappy Roots show up to lend a hand....even Rivers Cuomo of Weezer fame makes an appearance. Mark Ronson produces the entire album and there aren't very many tracks on the album that are worth skipping. The sound is hard to describe, but rest assured that you'll dance your ass off while playing this CD. The song folks may remember most at the moment is "Ooh wee" because it's heavily featured in the movie "Hitch" starring Will Smith. That song is just crazy. Put it on in the club and watch the crowd go crazy. I'd have to say the high point on this album for me was hearing Saigon rap. Dude is dumb nice. He has a few underground joints out and should be set to blow up any time now, but his contribution to this album (Diduntdidunt) is just as funny as it is tight. R&B Newcomer Aya blew me away with her song (High) and Tweet & Sean Paul contribute the bouncy reggae flavored joint (International Affair) which is blazin'. And it was great to hear Q Tip spitting hot verses (Tomorrow). It's been such a long time. Even the Mos Def & M.O.P. collabo is tight.



There are a few songs on the album that are suspect though. The title track is lackluster. Freeway sounds lost over rock beats and I've never been the biggest Nikka Costa fan (shorty is terribly overrated). Also, even though Rhymefest rhymes his ass off, "Bout To Get Ugly" was definitely booty (not to mention that I'm getting VERY tired of hearing Anthony Hamilton's voice). Also, Daniel Merriweather's song sounded like a b side to an old Musiq CD or something (I don't mean that in a good way either). But all the negatives end there.



I have to admit that the positive aspects of the album far outweigh the negative ones. Mark Ronson creates some of the most funky and original beats I've heard in a long time. He definitely has potential and I think he definitely has all the tools necessary for him to blow up. I highly reccomend this to anyone looking for some good clean dance music.



Standout Tracks: International Affair feat. Sean Paul & Tweet, Ooh Wee feat. Ghostface, Trife, Nate Dogg, & Saigon (My Favorite), Diduntdidunt feat. Saigon, Bluegrass Stain'd feat. Nappy Roots, High feat. Aya, I Suck feat. Rivers Cuomo, Tomorrow feat. Q Tip & Debi Nova, and On The Run feat. M.O.P. & Mos Def"
TREMENDOUS!!
