And we’re back
to 1996 again, lol, this time with Blahzay Blahzay. DJ PF Cuttin and MC Out
Loud made a little noise earlier in 1995 with the single “Danger”, and who can
forget that memorable chorus, with Jeru The Damaja mixed in by saying “when the
East is in the house”, followed by “oh my God, DANGER!” Classic right there.
They also followed this up with an equally classic part two version, which featured
Smoothe Da Hustler and Trigga Tha Gambler, production by the one and only DJ
Premier. And from there, that was pretty much it, which leads me to…..
Why I feel it’s
forgotten
Just like I seem
to type each time I discuss an album that was released in 1996, a stacked year
when it came to hip hop releases, this album slipped under the radar, plus you
can add in other factors such as a lack of promotion and buzz, and even though
East Coast hip hop was still on fire at the time, not everything was in the
spotlight.
Rating
About 4
stars.
I’ve never owned this album, but I have heard it and it’s very good. The
two “Danger” songs weren’t the only highlights on this album. I would welcome
the album to my collection, but with it being out of print (and it has been for
the longest time), the odds aren’t good at this point.
(Update: It has been added to my collection.)
