Die Beats sind das Schmankerl hier! Breed kann rappen und zeigt das hin und wieder auch, aber darauf würde ich keine großen Hoffnungen beim Kauf dieser Platte geben...es geht um die Funk-Beats!
Breed came hella tight here on his 1994 joint, Funkafied. He is to rap what George Clinton and Bootsy Collins are to P-Funk. Just look at the cover of the album to see! Lyrically, he has a good flow and a dope raspy voice. His topics are not groundbreaking, weed smoke, girls, and the funk, but he is entertaining. If you like Too Short, his homie, you may just like Breed. Beats are very much funky, many are G-Funk at its purest form. Producers include DJ Flash, Brett Ski, Big C, Swift, The Hurra, and MC Breed (Eric Breed) himself. I love the bouncy P-Funk inflected "Back Up In Ya," a perfect house party jam. "Smokin'" is the hooter joint, nice twangy guitar riff and laid back beat. I love the bouncy Zapp sampled "Flava Uv Phony" (f/ Al Breed from DFC) with a sick battle type rhyme scheme and a sick old-school beat which falls in between a West Coast meets East Coast atmosphere. Occasionally, the album approaches a slight East Coast feel on tracks like "Shootin' From The Hip" and "Seven Years," and those beats are dope also. Overall, a dope album from MC Breed. MC Breed should not be slept on because he is entertaining and can tailor his style for heads on the West Coast, The East Coast, Down South and Up North, like where he's from (Flint, Mi).
