Customer Reviews of Blue Funk
Heavy D at his best I always thought this was probably Heavy D at his best and even years later I can still say this is an enjoyable album.
Many radio worthy tracks and catchy tunes and choruses. If you're a Heavy D fan this is a must have. If you're curious, it's probably worth your purchase.
Possibly the best album by a criminally underrated artist
Heavy D was always extremely clever lyrically. He was at once socially conscious, joking, boastful, and a lithe stage performer whose dancing moves belied his girth. Every single one of his first three albums had chart-topping singles and huge sales. Sadly and ironically when he made his greatest leap as an artist, his audience deserted him.
Those looking for Heavy D's lyrically tonguetwisting, complex, lively and eloquent style won't be at all disappointed by this set. The key to Heavy D's stuff is how clearly he enunciates every syllable. Like a trained actor he always hits his marks, no matter how difficult, with precision. He does it so well, he probably makes it sound too easy, and that's the only reason I can think of that he isn't popularly listed among the great MCs of this or any era.
Anyway, this album came on the heels of the tragic loss of his close friend and groupmate, Trouble T-Roy. As a result, Hev desided to eschew the danceable, New Jack Swing laced beats that were so popular at the time. He didn't even utilize superproducer Teddy Riley, who had been backing him with musical tracks since he debuted, and with whom he had collaborated on most of his greatest hits.
He instead chose to give most of the production duties to underground DJs like Tony Dofat, and the brilliant Pete Rock. The result is an album that sounds like nothing he did before or after. It has a moody, unique soundscape that I find exhilirating.
Stand out tracks include the Sister Nancy inspired "Talk is Cheap", The bouncing "Who's in the House", DJ Premier's "Yes Y'all", the Pete Rock (still at the height of his form) contributions "Lovesexy" and "Blue Funk". Plus, this album is historically notable for it's debut of another famous heavyweight MC, The Notorious B.I.G., on the posse cut "A Buncha Nig*az".
This experiment wasn't a commercial success, but it's a beautiful testament to, and probably the best complete artistic work from a man who consistently produced excellent music. It's a hidden gem you can probably pick up used for dirt cheap, but is good enough to pay full price for.
rips up da hizouse
Like typical Heavy D this CD is tight. I love it. Heavy D keeps it real. He's the best old skool rapper ever. I saw him in fresh prince one time too. He is the best rapper ever, peace out homie
