Bass, Girls, And Jheri Curls

I reviewed Stones Throw’s hilarious Arabian Prince release for the September issue of REMIX Magazine. Read the excerpt HERE.

I re-listened to Innovative Life the other day and found myself still laughing at the childish raps and cheesy song construction. Old booty bass/electro rap is usually entertaining, even if I'm not always in the mood for it. Plus, Arabian Prince’s career (Egyptian Lover associate turned N.W.A. member) is a West Coast benchmark that connects the decline of electro to the rise of gangsta. It must've been awkward having to decide whether to stay electro or go gansta.

"Do whatcha like and do whatcha please, like an 88-year-old lady tryin' to do a strip tease..." from the track "Strange Life". Hear it here:
