Old School Rap At Its Best! March 10, 2007
Whodini has to be one of my favorite old school rap groups of all time! They have a distinct style and original background beats that no one else can match. "Five Minutes Of Funk" is one of my all-time favorite rap songs, particularly since the lyrics are recognizable, and free of all that annoying yelling and screaming modern-day rappers like to force on listeners. It's also free from another annoyance of today's rap music: shout-outs... There's nothing more annoying than a rap song full of nothing but shout-outs to a bunch of people that listeners don't care about. This album, aside from "Five Minutes Of Funk", has plenty of other tracks to keep your attention. "One Love" is a smooth-rhythm track with a nice, mellow tempo. It also has some creative lyrics that makes the song resemble somewhat of a rap-ballad. "Friends" is a song that just about every rap fan recognizes and memorizes, and "Freaks Come Out At Night" is a staple of all old school rap fans' collections. Both are heavily recognizable songs that anyone from the '80's that followed rap will recall. You will likely enjoy "I'm A Ho" since it's a comical track with creative style of rhymin' to a rather silly theme. "Escape" was an underrated track, since most fans don't recall that one unless they bought Whodini's album. That song was not a popular radio play, but still a good one to listen to for buyers. "Funky Beat" is one of Whodini's later releases, and a bit different than their more original material. However, it still lends a unique backdrop beat along with catchy lyrics. This compilation ranks as one of my favorites of all time, and if you're into old school rap at all, it will rank up there for you as well.
Classic rap in the mid 1980's............ January 15, 2007
Whodini was big in the mid eighties with hits like 5 Minutes of Funk, Friends, One Love, Big Mouth and the Freaks Come Out at Night. This album was undoubtedly one of the top rap albums of 1984-1985. All of Whodini's big hits are on this one album. Nuff respect to Jahlil, Grand Master Dee and Extasy.
Long Overlooked, But Crucial To Hip-Hop History!! October 29, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Whodini was one of the best of the early hip-hop
trios and they had quite a following and string of hits
as this collection will attest!
I remember seeing them back in summer 1984 with
the then new Run DMC fresh off the success of
"It's Like That", "Hard Times" & "Sucka MC's"!!
Whodini had "Haunted House Of Rock", "Freinds",
"The Freaks Come Out At Night" and the classic
"5 Minutes of Funk" out then and
they really stopped the show!
Later came the other jams like "One Love",
"I'm A Ho!!" and others that left their mark
with early hip-hoppers.
I hope that they will get their just due and be honored
on VH-1's Hip-Hop Honors for 2007.
I always wanted a leather hat just like the one that guy who
was the lead MC (Ecstacy) use to rock!! (LOL!!)
They were just as crucial as Kurtis Blow, Sugarhill,
Run DMC, LL COOL J and all the others who we think of
now as icons of the game!---Much Love & Respect!!
**ADDENDUM!!---(09/06/07)
I am so happy to announce that WHODINI will
be finally getting their props at this year's Hip-Hop Honors!!
Congratulations guys!--You sure deserve it!
I'll be watching and reminiscing! (-:
