His Name's Mike Jones, and did I mention his name's Mike Jones? - Page 2

And then there’s song 11, a remix to the song “cuttin’” which has, seriously, a sample of “yodel ay hee hoo”, like, the yodel? And what’s weird is it works. This is an album that the first time you hear it, aside from a few songs, you’re ready with the shovel to bury rap music, and then on the fifth or sixth listen, you’re at the diamond teeth store, dropping your kid’s college fund on a blinged out grill. It’s, as said, uncanny. And there's the fact that Mr. Jones can actually rap, in between spittin out his name & phone number and repeating the chorus for the 18th time, there are some gems.

Anyway, the "it grows on you like a weed" phenomenon, combined with the production, which ain’t half bad, and works for the material, and despite and, conversely, because of, the repetitive lyrics over & over again, and the listenability curve which takes more turns than an anaconda after a cough syrup binge, lead me to the inexorable conclusion that I’d recommend it. To myself, at least. Aloha.

    Isn't this the same guy who shouts out his phone number all the time and encourages his fans to call him?

    Also, calling your album Who Is Mike Jones? leaves yourself open to a lot of easy potshots from critics...

    "Who is Mike Jones? That's the question that will be on people's minds six months from now when this album ends up in the bargain bin at your local K-Mart."

    Things of that sort.
