Dru Down - Can You Feel Me
« on: January 30, 2007, 02:08:12 AM »
Been bumping this for the first time since I picked up a second-hand copy a year or so ago.

First impressions are pretty good... some of the production is excellent and Dru Down has a lot of flavor in an E-40 kinda, fucking-about-with-his-voice way (love the high-pitched sort of yelps that he does). There are some great Mobb-style tracks there.

"Baby Bubba" is a great track - it's a shame there aren't more songs on there with that fun kind of feel. The guy seems to be trying to be a bit too hard for sa lot of the tracks, pushing the gangsta image. For someone who calls himself "the illegitimate son of Bootsy", you'd think he'd want to party a bit more.

Still, a pretty good throwback CD, and it's always good to hear a couple of Luniz guest spots.

Any thoughts?

Don't know about that one - is it from before or after Can You Feel Me? I heard he kinda fell off after this.

To be honest I don't know a lot about him - first time I heard him was "Put The Lead On Ya" from Operation Stackola, which I loved.

And hey - as good as his songs are, the guy has shit hair. Let's just be real about that for a moment. That's a really bad haircut.

Is it the same kind of sound? When was it out? If you could hook up any tracks, that would be great.
