Play with Toys
[Amazon]
For some reason I used to use this one to
get the ladies in the mood. I think it was the only mellow disc
I owned. Otherwise, most women aren't turned on by weird, stoner
hip-hop. Of course Beck made the most
of the genre two years later on Mellow Gold. Calling
this hip-hop is a definite misnomer, as it's more of a mellow,
meandering folk rhyme fest. The guy's singing skills lie
somewhere between Bob Dylan and Biz Markie, but his lazy, monotone delivery
is representative of the DYI attitude of the whole project.
This is an odd little album that is perfect for sitting on the
porch on a summer day, chillin', drinking a brew and contemplating
the universe. |
