Fu-Schnickens, Breakdown, Jive Records, 1994

Posted by admin | Filed under 12" Singles, Rap/Hip-Hop


LP Version. Damn good stuff. “The Flow will break you down,” “I get so busy on the mic with my rhythmic flows…” The first guy to rap on the track is real smooth, really like the delivery. The crazy dood takes some getting used to, but has a lot of energy. The third guy has an aggressive style. Overall the production is very nice. Heavy bass lines with samples, scratches, and drop-ins way in the back of the mix. The separation of sounds is cool, it keeps the tracks un-cluttered. The vocal tracks stand on their own much better with the heavy bass lines. One thing about this 12″ single is that the remix is actually pretty good. The Dunkafelic Remix can stand on its own and keep people moving to the beat. Many times, alternate versions sound crummy, like versions that didn’t make the cut for a reason. The instrumental version has some nice areas that could be sampled and re-used. There is a long section of drums and bass only, then a few bars where the bass drops out altogether. Overall, the record is excellent, this is definitely one for the personal mix tape!
