I got some enjoyment out of this, but that is based more on the source material that the album is built from than from anything D.U. bring to it. Funky samples are used from artists like George Clinton, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and Herbie Hancock.
I have to admit that this is not what I'd thought Digital Underground would sound like. I was expecting a nascent electronica album; instead, it's rap built on top of funk grooves with a sense of humour and, unfortunately, a touch of misogyny.
Apparently it's a concept album with a narrative around a drug that provides sexual pleasure. I didn't really take any of that in though. As I've said before, I'm not generally a lyrics person.
