![]() It is another slow rapped and easy going hip-hop tune. ‘***tin’ Me’ follows almost the same formula. The beat sounds like something that would come out of an 80's Nintendo game. It features Fa-bo and he keeps things nice and cool but the best part about the song is the simple yet amusing electro-beat line. The hit single ‘Laffy Taffy’ is a slow, soothing head nodder. The electronics and beats are extremely catchy yet formulaic, I find this to be a problem in mainstream rap but it is extremely bad here. Down for Life is a party album and is excellent if you want something that puts a smile on your face. There are no real dark and atmospheric rap tunes. These two cats represent and together they make the album relaxed, fun and upbeat while still maintaining that gangsta image.Īnother noticeable aspect about this album is how it is very fun and upbeat. ![]() His voice is whiney, rebellious and he sounds like a small, puny boy. Mook-B is the cat that keeps Down for Life a true gangsta rap album. He keeps things smooth and everything seems to flow well when he steps up to the microphone. Fa-bo has a low, deep voice, just by listening to his voice you can tell that he is a big guy. In result you get solid hip-hop music that is just good to kick back and sing a long to. All four authentic members of the group take turns at freestyling, rapping, etc. ![]() The rappers do a good job at rapping and I have to admit it mixes quite well with the actual music. While the type of music that is being played sounds unique and is mildly entertaining almost every single song on the album sounds similar to one another. ![]() This kills the album just because it’s hard to put up with the same formula song after song. In result the music is catchy and will get your head nodding yet these songs last from about three and half to four minutes long. About twenty seconds into the song an electronic noise will synch up with the beat and it will run for the whole entire song. D4L will start off a song with a simple somewhat heavy beat. D4L came up with a genius idea of combining video game music along with phat beats creating something that I like to call “video game rap.” While this might have been done before I haven’t heard anything like it, and I’m not even sure if it’s that good. These four clowns hail from Atlanta and they came out of nowhere where their hit single ‘Laffy Taffy.’ They were originally signed to Mike Jones’s record label, but then got dropped later and I’m guessing it’s because of all the hate that ‘Laffy Taffy’ was receiving.ĭown for Life is a gangsta rap album, but it’s like no other mainstream hip-hop album that I have heard before. When I first heard these names I burst out laughing because I didn’t know if they were being serious or not. I told my friend that I didn’t care for the song and to my surprise he randomly burned me a copy of ‘Down for Life.’ At first I wasn’t even going to bother giving it a listen, but then I realized that I shouldn’t judge an album on one single and wound up listening to the whole entire thing.ĭ4L is comprised of four members. When I first heard D4L’s single ‘Laffy Taffy’ I really disliked it and wound up sitting through the piece of garbage. You know, just basic rap songs featuring a nice catchy beat along with a rapper spitting out words often dealing with drugs, sex, and violence. I mean rap songs by artists such as Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Ludacris, and Snoop Dawg. I never mind hearing a commercial rap tune on occasion.
