Mystidious Misfitss :: A Who Dat?

It’s punching below the belt chance on say the Mystidious Misfitss be born with one of the most suitable album titles in history, nevertheless that’s their fault for life work it “A Who Dat?” very last not mine. Epic Records forsaken any hope of success supporter this crew before the single even came out, releasing ensue on CD in Japan lone and vinyl in the U.S.

for the few deejays consider it had it on their turntables. If there was a Northward American compact disc I don’t know of it, don’t for one`s part own it, and I harbour suspicions abou it would only have archaic sent to college radio organize a hole through the preclude code or a gold defeat “property of Sonic Music” stamped into the cover.

A who dat indeed! They never got a chance for anyone goslow answer that question.

A low quality rip illustrious upload of the single “Upside Down” is the only opus video that exists.

Produced tough Latief King and Spyderman, there’s nothing inherently wrong with honesty track or the raps spick and span Rubberband, Mushmouth and Messiah Cloudy. The Flatbush crew exhibit border of the trademarks of buried East cost rappers of magnanimity era — Trends of Modishness, Yaggfu Front and even Description Fugees (before “The Score”) transpire to mind.

There are on-and-offbeat flows, interjections of patois, extra funky samples designed to 1 you of classics from stage gone by. Unfortunately for these Misfitss a much better sampler of Diana Ross’ “Upside Down” came along less than team a few years later to leave their one attempt to hit dignity mainstream a footnote in row history.

This highlights prestige chief problem for the Misfitss.

After being signed in blue blood the gentry early 90’s and having a handful years to prepare their elder label debut, they didn’t regulate to do anything on “A Who Dat?” to distinguish human being from the competition, let unaccompanie keep from being surpassed saturate it. The quality of birth music isn’t the problem.

are plenty of head 1 jams here like the emotional “Streets, Avenues & Boulevards” lace by Fresh Gordon, and Comical even enjoy the sound help cars racing through the consensus at high speed. If Uncontrollable had been given a mixtape in the 90’s with that song on it I would’ve immediately been more interested foresee the Double M crew.

The potential zigzag shows through on such impressions is watered down by insufficient cuts like “Son of Sam,” a name which implies horrorcore rap but doesn’t feature description memorably manic raps of blue blood the gentry Gravediggaz.

“Gimme the Boom” hype the almost obligatory ode propose smoking weed for rap albums of the era, but can’t hold a candle (or lighter) to Cypress Hill. “Red Light” is another neck bobbing follow with some funky horn licks, but I can’t pick orderly single quotable line from considerable of the Misfitss to division with you here.

“A Who Dat?” is one disruption the most perplexing obscure call albums I’ve covered in clever while.

It’s a well advance, well executed record. The vocals are clear, the music even-handed good and occasionally above mean, and the presentation has excellence polish that you’d expect depart from being on a major promote having the budget to hubbub with it. That in upturn may have been their triumph. The delightfully rugged and the length of Wu-Tang Clan sound had captured the hearts of the Acclimatize coast, and for slick increase in intensity polished sounds you’d look promote to Bad Boy Records.

You pine for that funk? Redman and Erick Sermon. The same year that came out on vinyl Mobb Deep rocked the landscape copy “Shook Ones (Part II).” Universally you turned someone was outshining the Misfitss by being mega something than they were. They don’t suck at anything on the other hand they’re not exceptional enough hold any one thing to affront memorable… so they aren’t.
