Where are the P.C. Police when you need them?
"Let's Get Retarded" is one of the danceable, pop gems that
makes up the first few tracks on this album. Yeah, it ain't
politically correct, but these guys (and girl) are so inoffensive
otherwise, nobody's going to complain with a rap world full
of gun totting and bitches and hoes. Oddly enough, they leave
their most compelling--and ultimately religiously, right-wing
friendly--song until the final track. "Where is the Love" is
like P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" for the 00's.
I think these guys were legit underground MC's at some point
in their career (like back in '97 when my bosses at Interscope
had no idea what to do with them), but they are now straight
up pop machines. There's no doubt these guys know how to write
a catchy tune, but any illusion of depth or meaning is pretty
much buried by the hot chick in the clamdiggers and the oddball
Black Eyed Peas cast and their breakdancing ways. |
