 Straight outta 'Bama

Alabama duo Dirty rode the Dirty South boom to moderate success with their 2001 big-label debut "The Pimp & da Gangsta." Vocally and lyrically, Big Pimp and Mr. G-Stacka aren't at all distinctive, and they owe a lot to 8Ball & MJG and the Dungeon Family. They embody the familiar Southern baller persona, and they are also comparable to YoungBloodZ and Field Mob. Rapping about pimpin', hustlin', cash, cars, weed, and life in the south, Dirty displays flow and chemistry despite a lack of originality. More than anything else, "The Pimp & da Gangsta" is a reflection of the strength of the Dirty South movement in its initial post-No Limit days, because their country slang, woozy beats, and singalong hooks are appealing despite being nondescript. There are some very good songs over the LP's 15 tracks, and the production remains pretty strong while not outstanding. While definitely not the most creative or consistent Southern rap album, "The Pimp & da Gangsta" is a decent album for fans of Southern hip hop circa 2001.
"Rollin Vogues" gets things started with a cool woozy roller, and the duo raps quickly utilizing a strong hook. "Gimme Some Mo" is derivative and "6 Deep Creepin" is okay, but "Bendin' Corners" is an early highlight. "Candyman" is smarmy but somewhat enjoyable, and "Yean Heard" is an average cut about regional drug use. The best song is the title track, a smooth, syrupy slow thumper that's sure to induce head nodding. "Ride" is another laidback offering, and "Dipped in Blak"'s electronic twang vibes nicely. "Hit da Floe" is forgettable skip material, and "Twinkys" keeps it moving until "Da Land," a breezy and upbeat song with great production and feel-good kicks. The LP closes with "R.I.P.," the obligatory dead homies track that's pretty good.
Dirty doesn't have a lot of soul, but "The Pimp & da Gangsta" is a solid presentation of beats and flows for laidback listening. It's very predictable, and listeners shouldn't expect any mind-blowing material here. However, Dirty are hometown heroes because they were Alabama's first rappers to make national waves, so regional fans will enjoy this. Dirty has a solid discography and this is a good starting point. |

| I heard of Dirty through a friend and then I saw the video for Hit Da Floe. Their first single Hit Da Floe was tight and I definetely like their rhymes schemes on that track. The second single Rollin Vogues was good but I feel they should have more exposure from that. Gimme Sum Mo is straight and 6 Deep Creepin is pretty much a highlight track by itself. Even though I'm not fond of songs for the ladies, Candyman(which samples Keith Sweat) is alright. Ride is a laidback cut where Dirty plus another guest whose name I forget at the moment rip the track to bits and pieces over a smooth beat. I also enjoyed their ode to greenery called Yean Heard and that skit that came before it was funny as hell. As for skip material there is none. Its one of those rare album you can play from beginning to end. The album ends off with a farewell to their deceased friends called R.I.P. That song described in one word: beautiful(I mean Mourn You Till I Join You and Flowers For The Dead beautiful). Bottom Line: The Pimp & Da Gangsta is the one of the best releases of 2001 from the best thing to come out of Alabama. They both have tight flows, the production was awesome and you have to admit that's pretty good for a group to put out an album that you can listen to without skipping(especially in these days and times). Standout Tracks: ROLLIN VOGUES, GIMME SUM MO, 6 DEEP CREEPIN, BENDIN CORNERS, CANDYMAN, YEAN HEARD, RIDE, HIT DA FLOE, DA LAND and R.I.P. |
