I have been a fan since they caught national attention with their single, "Vans," but their sound is not the traditional bay hyphy. They remind me a lot of 80s/early 90s old school rap with their heavy electronic influence, minimalism, and laid back flows. But they are also on some futuristic shit too with the synth sound, I guess a comparison to the Neptunes could be made. The rappers even have Pharrell's nonchalant lazy flow although I think it works better here. The rhymes never overshadow the beats, especially in the staccato "Candy." This song is hot, it reminds me of the good old fashioned raunchy ass rap songs in the tradition of 2 Live Crew - the types of songs where I would blush when they came on the radio in the car with my parents. Rap and gratuitous sex/booty go together like peanut butter and Chinese food. I guess rappers can't resist sex/candy metaphors either. Shake that laffy taffy, I'll take you to the candy shop, etc...if only Donne was as ingenius. Along with 2 choice cuts from the Pack, I have included a few other booty jams for your listening pleasure. Don't blush.
The Pack - Oh Go
The Pack - Candy
Dj Assault - Ass N Titties
Spank Rock - Bump
haha. I couldn't resist.
D4L - Laffy Taffy
