Among a sea of just plain boring, and unimaginitive records, Count Bass-D’s latest shines like a smile on Juvenile. “Violatin’” takes the DJ Premier influence to the next level by actually sampling this deejay’s voice, ather than biting his infamous aray of scratches he laces each song with. A frantic Primo rhythmically shouts the hook, “You know how that go! Stop doin’ that, ya’ll violatin’, straight up and down,” while Count Bass D and Egon share the mic. But if it’s original production, and sampled Primo rantings don’t grab you, their introspective lyrics will. These two are looking from an entirely new perspective, with lines like “I’ll make you see things the way they’re supposed to go, for instance, I think it should be Fat Pun and Big Joe”, or “Who am I? A Beenie Man. You? A Beenie baby.” The b-sides, “The World Is Mine” and “Just Rhymin’ With Tock” are both feel good hip-hop songs, and definitely are worth a few spins as well. Don’t sleep on this one!
