70. Treacherous Three: The New Rap Language

The rapid-fire style is nice, but the first rule of rap is that it has to be understandable, and this fails that test too often. And the lyrics are middle-school at best. I just picked this line at random:

The bad, bad, superbad
Never sad, always glad
Not a day you find him mad
Ain't nothin I never had
Sleek, sleek, so unique
Guaranteed to move your feet
So everytime I play the beat
Ladies get up out their seat

The above is pretty indicative of all 10,000 words that comprise the lyrics.

Hearing Kool Moe Dee getting his start is nice. He's clearly the talent here.

8 minutes of this gets to be a bit ridiculous.

Rating: 50.
