Still on foot – rapreviews

As mentioned in my last review a few years ago, Crime Boss is a pioneering and mysterious figure in the history of Southern Rap. You can't even find sources that agree on his real name, although Wikipedia's claim that it was “Thurston Slaughter”, made me laugh out loud. If I were a WWE -ID perspective that is looking for a memorable nickname, hoping to be signed, it is almost exactly what I would choose -or what that is what that is SHE Would choose and then trademark so that you have the IP. I find the discogs entry that claims that he is “Courtney Oliver” more credible, but their mileage can vary. In both cases, we speak here to talk about his third album “Still The Great”, his first publication after his departure from Suave House Records.

Due to the fact that this was also the debut of his records about the impression crime Lab, “still at a clear foot” feels like an expression of his mogul. Of particular interest to me is the ubiquitous presence of a rapper named Pimp Money, which is mentioned on the cover of the album and has recognition on almost every song of this hourly album. Unfortunately, his career is an even greater “unsolved secret” than his cohort, with a discogs entry that is completely empty and nowhere else footprint. Have you ever tried to look for a rapper called “Pimp Money”? I'm telling you that it is a waste of time, but it is trying to be amused.

No song illustrated the fact that this album feels more like the sampler/compilation of a label than the track “Who Ya Fucking with”. Almost everyone who is mentioned on the work of art finds their way into this song: 380, Big Dave, ESG, Harry Hay, Pimp Money and T-Dubb get all microphone time. Dubb (from foesum) and ESG are the only ones who had previously had something OR After this publication, but the past few years have not been friendly to ESG – colon cancer, a leg amputation and a serious car accident to name a few things he went through. However, it gets worse when Dubb died in 2024 – Rip Brother. It is a good posse track, and here are other fine moments, such as the funky bass line and the shoulder chip posture “you see what you don't see”.

However, what frustrates me over “still on the foot” is that it was not marketed as a compilation or the shop window of a new label. Criminal boss pointed out his name as an artist, but he cannot fly anywhere else than “danger zone”. However, this is the biggest secret of the album – most playlists not Enter it, although it is clearly the eighth track on the CD. I finally found an upload that seems to come from a compilation that the crime boss released himself and uploaded to the Internet, which gives this review a little irony.

“Find yourself marked with the toes and wrapped in black plastic”

I wanted this -the former rapper rapper rapper and the middle are high with a drawl and a vocal field that sounds like a mixture of DJ Quik and MJG. No disrespect against people like 1 Way and Big Dave, but I'm not there for them, and there seems to have been nothing more than for Crime Lab Records anyway (and not since 2010 to boot). At the end of the day, “still free” is a missed opportunity. Crime Boss would have loosened from the Suave House, made its name on the Solo tip and then started his label with all its regulations. He made the classic mistake to put the car in front of the horse, and a diluted album without Star Power is the result.
