NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE BUT..


Pete Rock (w/ CL Smooth): Appreciate
From Soul Suvivor II (BBE, 2004)

Pete Rock and CL Smooth: In the House
From The Main Ingredient (Elektra, 1994)

Am I the only person who found this album be bland, boring and non-essential? “Appreciate” is fanfuckingtastic but that plus maybe one or two other songs is about all I would ever take with me. I’m not trying to hate on Pete, but his beats leave no impression on you whatsoever on the disc and his guest MCs are almost all forgettable, save for maybe Skillz and CL of course.

Maybe I’m just old and nostalgic, but I miss the days of “In the House,” don’t you?
