 (3 Customer Reviews)
After his 1987 debut, SWASS, a sparse, witty affair, built a reputation with both critics and discerning hip-hop fans, Sir Mix-a-Lot went supernova on his third effort, MACK DADDY. "Baby Got Back," with its valley girl intro, bass-heavy beat, and earnest ode to women who "pack much back," exploded to become one of the biggest hits of 1992. While the novelty hit certainly gave him a national name, it also pegged him as a lightweight, one-note MC in the Hammer vein. In actuality, the Seattle-area rapper was a far tougher nut to crack, a social poet with a Chuck D. or KRS-One outlook, as well as a playful exhibitionist in the 2 Live Crew manner, backed by a Dre-style P-Funk beat--and MACK DADDY is a far more diverse album than his hit would imply. Opening track "One Time's Got No Case" examines police corruption with force and language to rival N.W.A. or Cypress Hill, while "Mack Daddy" brings the funky swagger with Kool G. Rap bravado.

Mack Daddy album
 $13.39    
With its 1989 landmark album, 2 Live Crew practically single-handedly created the CD parental advisory seal and irreversibly changed the hip-hop landscape. Long before AS NASTY AS THEY WANNA BE, 2 Live Crew were drawing lawsuits and boycotts, and within the opening minute of "Me So Horny," the opening track and single, the group made it clear that, far from backing down, they were ready to push the envelope even further. Like FULL METAL JACKET, the Kubrick film from which it gets its name and central sample, the song is a massive frontal assault, a flurry of sexuality backed by an unforgettable beat. The song improbably broke into ...
| | Sir Mix-A-Lot Swass CD (1988)
Mack Daddy CD music
$13.59
The first major MC to come out of the Pacific Northwest (straight outta Tacoma, Washington, to be precise), Sir Mix-a-Lot appeared on the national scene with 1987's SWASS, boasting his own language and a spare, spacey sound, one which owed a heavy debt to the electro-beat-box style of Afrika Bambaataa, but hinted at the P-Funk leanings of later West Coast rap. "Posse on Broadway" (that's Seattle's Broadway, not New York's) lays out Mix-a-Lot's style, as he poetically unfolds a narrative in his gruff, inimitable voice. He ably channels Run-D.M.C., pairing with fellow locals Metal Church on his re-imagination ...

NEGRO COLOR is a 2004 album by the Peruvian singer Tania Libertad.
While Peruvian native (and now Mexican resident) Tania Libertad focuses on Afro-Peruvian music on this release, don't expect anything highly rhythmic, or even reminiscent of countrywoman Susana Baca. Instead she forges her own, often contemplative route, whether on the lovely "Dos Gardenias" or the sweet, gentle pop of "Anda Mareado." She's a singer who brings a mature delicacy to the project, even when her gaze strays from her homeland to Brazil for "Funeral del Labrador" or "Samba Malato/Kike Iturrizago," a laid-back trip along the Copacabana. Perhaps surprisingly, one of the most rhythmic pieces here is a traditional Peruvian piece, "La Bruja," where she unleashes a special magic over accordion-dominated music. Moreover, this is a very seductive sound, ...
| | Curtis Mayfield There's No Place Like America Today CD (1975) Import
Mack Daddy songs
$11.65
The title is intended in an ironic way, as illustrated not only by the cover -- a grim parody of late-'40s/early-'50s advertising imagery depicting white versus black social reality -- but the grim yet utterly catchy and haunting opening number, "Billy Jack." A song about gun violence that was years ahead of its time, it's scored to an incisive horn arrangement by Richard Tufo. "When Seasons Change" is a beautifully wrought account of the miseries of urban life that contains elements of both gospel and contemporary soul. The album's one big song, "So in Love," which made number 67 on the pop charts but was a Top Ten soul hit, is only the prettiest of a string of exquisite tracks on the album, including "Blue Monday People" and "Jesus" and the soaring finale, "Love to the People," broken up by the harder-edged "Hard Times." The album doesn't really have as clearly delineated a body of songs as Mayfield's earlier topical releases, but it's in the same league with his other work of the period and represents him near his prime as a composer. ~ Bruce Eder
One of the most influential performers, writers and producers of the last half of the 20th Century, Curtis Mayfield managed to combine some of the greatest Soul ever recorded with thought provoking lyrics tackling the key social political issues of the day. 1975's ironically titled There's ...

A debut album for the Italian band “ Monkey Business”. The whole project goes straight forward to the Street Rock of the middle 80’s.In a time where the global Metal scene seems to be mostly dominated by Power and Black Metal bands,Monkey Business wants to remind you all where the roots of today’s Metal come from.The influence that mostly characterized the sound of the album comes from bands such as: Guns‘n’Roses, Skid Row as well as much more melodic atmospheres inspired by great bands like Journey, the band wanted to make a tribute to it by including a version of “Separate Ways”.The in 2001 born Italian band Monkey ...
