"As a respectful Kid Rock fan, I started to learn of Dime, when Kracker took off and did his own thing and Dime came aboard.



Lemme take you back to when i was a teen..I had had a variety of musical tastes. Majoring behind hip hop on one side and metal on the other. Back in the 80's early 90's they really didn't mix to well, but Run DMC got the picture very quickly. So then as i grew up my music vocabulary grew very big. I grew into listening to just more then hip-hop and metal, I'd listen to everything but opera and classical music. Which when Kid came out, I was amazed at what this guy put together.........Well were not talking bout kid here...but anyway what i am getting to...Is Kid really grew too..with in his years, and I haven't gotten back to the roots of hip hop for quite some time.



In comes Paradime, fresh, straight outta Detriot, hard edged, beat some punk to the ground, but still be such a teddybear to the cute ladies. I like that he is real raw! He can smack you in the face with his lyrics, then pick you up and help you drink down a Henny. He says what he feels. He is eccentric with his production. I mean, I know this is from another CD, but look at Vices,,,do you hear that keyboard part, it works and just fits right in there..WAY TO GO, DIME.



Mr. Dime...there is another eccentric piece. It's like he wrote these tunes while he was trippin on 20 liquid cubes. Shoot..what ever it is will you give me some of that?...hahahaha



I dig the versatile of your music, not every song sounds the same. I feel like music is sometimes like sex when your with the same partner for many of years....It's good to try new things, open your mind, keep broadening your influences, or it becomes old and dusty. With one phat beat, some records to scratch, and a tune to keep looping, and a hard core eccentric rapper to produce this art, I think ol' Stank Breff is on his way to the top.



Good Luck to you Mr. Dime



The Dimettes luv ya!!!

"well this is my first review but this CD called for it. right from the beginning you know this is gonna be the dime you know and love. I can relate to every song on this CD, as should everyone else. This CD is like an autobiography of dimes life, and will definitely take you down memory lane. great beats and tight lyrics make you listen to every song straight through, no track skippin here. So fire one up and get ready to laugh you a#$ off, punch somebody in the face for no reason and pour out some beer for your boys who aren't with us no more. Dime has arrived."

That's MR. GUINNESS to You!

"With his "11 Steps Down", Paradime, aka Freddie Beauregard, grabs your complete attention, and does'nt just ask politely for it...he demands it.

From his side-splitting, "Intro" to the heart-felt, "No More", Dime takes you to raunchy, fun-filled highs, with songs like, "We Gone Wile," "Rockstar Sh*t" and "Round Here"...to the heart-wrenching, despairing bottoms, in "No Good For You" and "Better Days."

In between, are more glimpses, into the sharp wit & multi-dimensional world, of The Liquor Store Shakespeare. Along with Mark EP, Hex, Ra Mega and featuring, Guilty Simpson, various members of D12, Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, Trick Trick, and Tash of the Liks, this lyrical genius will give you a SEVERE pounding and then, pick you up, and gently dust you off, with his humour.

Paradime's "11 Steps Down," is as deep and insightful, as it is out-n-out, fun-loving and comical. "The Pharmacy Interlude," will have you rolling, in your pharmaceutical aisles, with the dialog between Dime & Showtime, and the flow & beats of this CD, will have you completely addicted, long before you even finish off the first song, "Mr. Dime".

In an industry over-run with Bubble-gum Pop, "11 Steps Down" is adult, hard-edged and hilarious. Paradime crosses all boundries, as the widely varied members of his website, shows. Not only are there die-hard Hip-hop followers, but, a broad mixture of other music listeners, was well. For more information on Dime, go to www.dimesworld, an excellent website, run by DJ Kfresh.

With his teddy-bear good looks, he definately gets, the ladies attention. But don't let that cuddly appearance, fool you...he's as thug, as they come. And, for those of you, that don't intend to take Paradime as seriously, as he deserves...it's MR. Guinness to you!
