Chris Witt of Allmusic said about the album:
"The production doesn't differ much from the organic funk on the other Hieroglyphics albums of the same period (No Need for Alarm and 93 'Til Infinity), except perhaps that the aggressiveness is turned up a notch.
The deep-voiced MC produces an unending and seemingly unstoppable flow of boasts and taunts, mercilessly skewering the wack rappers and fools he sees about him. The simplicity of his message belies the complexity of his vicious wordplay."

Here is his music video of "me-o-mi-o"

BoooOOoooM!

Ps:
What Casual was digging in the dusty crates of Oakland California around 1993:

The track "I Didn't Mean To" contains a sample from Kool and the Gang "Blowin' in the Wind" on the album Music is the Message: (De-Lite 1971)

"Me-O-Mi-O" contains a sample by John Hammond called 'Big sur suite' on Higher Ground: (Kudu 1974) . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDWvqx-pSYQ

That track has also been sampled by the Beastie Boys on 'Pass the mic'
Here is the other sample used in that track:

The time signature is different making it a bit harder to nod your head to the beat!!!

Da king and I-"contemporary jeep music"

FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY...is the best word(s) to describe this '93 east-coast release. Of course, 90% of the albums that came out in that brilliant era were dope, but Da King & I is a really unique duo with a sound that seemingly never gets old. You could say it's Maj's incredible, layered beats that make this album stand out, but more appropriately it's the chemistry between Izzy and Majesty that make "Contemporary Jeep Music" a really dope listen.


Here's the track list:

1) Intro (Contemporary Jeep Music)
2) Let's Take a Trip
3) Flip da Scrip
4) Interlude 1 (MC A$$h*le)
5) Krak da Weazel
6) Interlude 2 (Amusement Park)
7) Brain 2 U
8) Tears
9) Soul Shack Interlude
10) Ghetto Instinct
11) Mr. All That
12) Interlude 3 (Jazz Skit)
13) This is How We Do
14) Interlude 4 (Izzy Sings da Blues) *One of the best skits I've ever heard*
15) Lost My Mind
16) Represent
17) Crack da Weasel (Dat Other S***)
18) What's Up Doc
