It seems that the reviews of this album have missed the point. It is far more than an homage to 2Live Crew and the Miami Bass sounds. It is a A critique of the sound and the history of rap music. The lyrics are meant to be flippant. To claim that SpankRock was on autopilot is absurd this is obviously his postmodern take on the lyrics and attitudes of the time. The reviewers have missed the point in taking the lyrics the be a serious declaration of SpankRocks true declaration. I am not saying that every lyric is a gem, but they are an accurate representation of the music at the time and they do a good job as a mashup with a critical eye.
Where the review really missed the point is where he says that you need to be on E to appreciate the music. This was clearly a great attempt to replicate a sound that has remained popular in the underground for years. It is one of the best examples of Miami Bass since Afro Rican. It might be that the time has come for Christian. I think that he might have fallen into the critics standard of disliking everything but extreme noise and crap. The old saying goes, "No one ever built a monument to a critic." That is doubly true for Christian Hoard.

Quincy Jones once said rap is here to stay. Oh, that he could be wrong. Twenty years out is Chuck D. STILL the only black man (rapper) that has something on his mind besides vaginas and automobiles? Even though rap music ran its course circa 1996, I guess there are still enough suburban white boy badass wannabes to keep it alive. This album should provide another nail in the coffin, though. This album shows that they can curse, use racial epithets, degrade women and identify parts of the anatomy. Congratulations.
