Weekend Warrior  Hear it Now

RS: 3of 5 Stars

2003

Let's hear it for the return of Marcel Hall, clown prince of hip-hop and endearingly wretched singer -- remember his caterwauling on 1989's deathless "Just a Friend"? His funkiness is undimmed on his first record in ten years, Weekend Warrior: He ebulliently celebrates the dishes he adores ("Chinese Food") and pines for the departed Aaliyah and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in "Turn Back the Hands of Time." Biz falters only once, on the Neptunes sound-alike "Let Me See You Bounce," featuring Elephant Man. When you're a one-man wrecking crew, why chase trends?
