 Rating:  - Top 'o the MorningA few weeks ago I knew almost nothing about House of Pain. What I did know was Everlast, now a trashy blues singer, and DJ Lethal, who embarassingly ended up with Limp Bizkit, were members, and that wasn't encouraging. I figured they were ranked barely above Vanilla Ice in the realm of pre-Eminem white rappers. Then one day my roommate was playing a song I really liked, which never happens. It had that early 90s sound I love and the beat seemed to be the work of DJ Muggs, one of my favorite producers. I was surprised to learn it was House of Pain's "Jump Around," and I immediately did my research and then ordered this album. What I got was a decent CD, not bad, not great. Everlast isn't a terrible rapper but he's not that ... Read More: Rating:  - A Fine Malt Album To Drink On!! (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars)Some people my call these Irish White Guys a one hit wonders, because of the song "Jump Around". Believe it or not, that was the very first rap song I heard (maybe it was LL's "Momma Said Knock You Out", anyway...), and I remember my mom constantly telling me to stop jumping on my bed, when ever that song was playing. For some reason I think that song came out a while before this album came out, I'm not exactly sure. House Of Pain consists of Everlast (you might know him as "Whitey Ford"), Danny Boy O'Connor, and DJ Leathal, and they took this music real serious back in 1992. The album was produced by DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill) and DJ Leathal. They had many good songs here to prove that their lead single was not the only good song ... Read More: Rating: - first everlastAlthough this is not the first work by "Whitey Ford", it is the first mainstream public exposure to his style in "Jump". If you listen to the album with an open mind, you will find it to be a fair example of somewhat jazz fueled beatnik music...mixed with hip hop krunky chunky beats and grooves. I would have given this cd more than 3 stars, but the under-production hinders it somewhat...lending a raw quality that I would trade for better sound...plus "EVERLASTS'" cds get better with each attempt. Check out "Whitey Ford Plays The Blues. NOTE: I don't know why my screen name is "The Bookie"...what the hey!! Rating: - good vintage tunessome of the tracks on this album are iffy, but some are good if you wanna have a few brews and enjoy some rap with your irish heritage in mind. it also puts you in a mindset back in the day to the early 90's, which if you remember was a very fresh time to be chillin. Rating:  - JJJJJJJJJJump Around!!!!!The trio, Everlast, Danny Boy and DJ Leathal, steered away from the norm to give us a damn near classic. Before Eminmem came out white boys were not regarded as serious, besides this group of Irish fellas. Catchy hooks, phrases and simple rhymes did it for the frontman and emcee Everlast. There is a lot of drinking, partying and good lyrics without the shoot 'em up, bang, bang. What kept this from being a classic is some of the samples and solid production to back the fine malt lyrics. Considering this is a 1992 release, it doesn't collect dust in my collection. We all know that the song Jump Around is a C-L-A-S-S-I-C!, Put Your Head Out featuring B-Real is a tight Irish Bangin' classic featuring mi homie B-Real, Shamrocks & Shenangans is a ... Read More: |
