 (8 Customer Reviews)
"What It's Like" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
The former frontman for House of Pain sheds the hip-hop-only mode and steps out into the world of rock with this release. Tapping into the social structure of rock, Everlast keeps his rap credibility but blesses the skateboard kids with r&r vibes, making a brilliant texture of hip-hop beats and six-string melodies. "What It's Like," the album's first single, enjoyed a much-deserved rise towards the top of the charts.
Produced by John Gamble and the SD50, WHITEY FORD contains tracks that offer the lyrical depth and social relevance Everlast has always been known for. Tracks like "Ends," "Praise the Lord" and "Death Comes Callin'" show why Everlast remained on the scene for more than a decade. Guest appearances from Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Bronx Style Bob and Casual, along with interludes from Guru, Prince Paul, and Sen Dog from Cypress Hill keep plenty of flavor flowin' throughout the album.
Includes liner notes by Everlast.

Everlast Whitey Ford Sings The Blues Songs Whitey Ford Sings The Blues Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews What it's like
I am not into rap or hip-hop. The occaisional tune seeps into my listening world from the bumpin' car in the next lane or through neighborhood. My nephew gave me a tape with a "check it out"attached. Obviously, I thought enough to purchase the CD. The lyrics, musical content, and production values of this CD are awesome. What it's like, Endz, and Everlast's "love songs" stand up with anyone's comments on the world condition and music's favorite topic.
If you are not a rap fan, check it out.
