Music reviews of Straight Up Sewaside
Music Review: Sewer Music (4 Stars)
Rating: 4 Stars
Das Efx made the world wait 2 years for their follow LP after dropping Dead Serious in '91. Skoob and Crazy Drayz were two of the illest around at that time and their absence was very apparent. I remember watching The Box (or Video Jukebox back then) and seeing the video for "Baknaffek". Again, I ran out to the store and copped the album with no questions asked. Dray was the first MC that I ever wanted to be like. He had skills, he had presence, and he was confident. Basically, he was everything I wanted to be as an MC at the time and I imitated his every move. Straight Up Sewaside was definitely worth the wait even though it was largely ignored due to lack of promotion and the fact that they were going through the break up of the EPMD - led Hit Squad (EPMD, K Solo, Redman, and Das). What people will notice most about this album is that Das Efx decided to drop the "iggity" from their rhyme scheme. But after 2 years of people blatantly biting their style, can you blame them? This album is what good rap music is supposed to sound like: two ill MCs spittin' over hot beats. There's no fluff, no getting jiggy, no B.S., just two cats gettin' busy on the mic. People talk about how Dead Serious is their best album, but I think this album is just as good (hell, maybe better). Honestly, there's LESS filler on this album than the first album. If you think about it, the same things being said about their 1st album all apply here too. "Freakit" and "Baknaffek" are classics. Hands down. "Kaught In Da Ak" is pretty good story telling from these two, and "Gimme Dat Microphone" takes you back to their Dead Serious album. Even the interlude and interview were on point. All of the production is handled by the duo Solid Scheme (Chris Charity and Derek Lynch).
If you want to find some dark areas on this album, you'll have trouble, but there are a few things. For the most part, there are no bad songs. But there are songs on this album that drag and are somewhat skippable like: "Check It Out", "It'z Lik Dat", and "Host Wit Da Most (Rappaz Remix)"
Overall, this album is dope. Think about it, what other rap artists or group do you know of that changed their style and their production team on their second album and still manage to make an album just as good (if not better than) their first banger? I'd highly reccomend this album to anyone.
Standout Tracks: Rappaz, Gimme Dat Microphone, Kaught In Da Ak, Freakit, Krazy Wit Da Books, Baknaffek (My Favorite), and Wontu
