"....THE DUO HAS DEVELOPED A STYLISH FUSION OF CONTEMPORARY URBAN SOUL, G-FUNK, AND LATIN RHYTHMS."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the CD release of "The Troubleshooters," the third studio album by the Los Angeles-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released in January 1998. It was notable for being the group's first album without any input from either Tomahawk Funk and DJ Muggs.
OVERVIEW: "With their third album, "The Troubleshooters," FUNKDOOBIEST broke away from the stoned, rolling Muggs beat that characterized their first two records. With the assistence of several production teams -- including Da Beatminerz, Ski and Rectangle -- the duo has developed a stylish fusion of contemporary urban soul, G-funk and Latin rhythms. Occasionally, the collision of cultures feels a little forced -- with its Squirrel Nut Zippers sample, the single "Papi Chulo" (Spanish for "Big Papa"), sounds a little awkward, even though it works -- but on the whole, the record is a solid leap forward for a duo that once seemed lost in the shadow of CYPRESS HILL."

The alchemist producer
Tumblr media
After some high-profile work producing for Mobb Deep, Maman found himself producing tracks for everyone from Nas, to Ghostface Killah to Snoop Dogg, but also remained steadfastly committed to hip-hop's underground artists, working with as many unsigned rappers as legends of the genre.Įver since then, he's remained one of hip-hop's true artists, as renowned in the mainstream for his work as Eminem's official DJ as he is for he collaboration albums with underground sensations like Action Bronson, Boldy James and Willie The Kid. He debuted with the band in 1998 and almost immediately the band got some serious praise for their beats, and Maman became a hugely in-demand producer almost overnight. Fortunately, Manan still had a place in The Soul Assassins, and Cypress Hill's DJ and producer DJ Muggs took him under his wing to show him the production ropes.Īfter gaining some genuine respect for his work on some Cypress Hill tracks, Maman joined Dilated Peoples, the band of his childhood friend Evidence. Wounded, the band decided to split up, with Caan going into acting and Maman looking into production. Unfortunately, the single tanked, and their label decided to shelve their album indefinitely. The duo took all the tuition they got from artists who were now their peers, like House Of Pain and Funkdoobiest, and released their first single “Put Your Handz Up” in 1993. Coming to prominence as a member of the hip-hop duo The Whooliganz with Scott Caan, Daniel Maman was first spotted rapping at a party by Cypress Hill's B-Real in 1991, who invited the duo to join his crew The Soul Assassins.

"INSTEAD OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE PARTY, THOUGH, FUNKDOOBIEST REMAINS ON TOP THROUGHOUT..."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a print advert and/or record advert for "The Troubleshooters," the third full-length album by L.A.-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released under the RCA label in early 1998. The advert was featured in the January '98 issue of "Rap Pages" magazine.
ALBUM OVERVIEW: "There’s something very fresh sounding on “Troubleshooters,” the third album by L.A.’s FUNKDOOBIEST. It could be the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.’s original approach to samples. The mad, driving swing of the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s “Hell” drives the first single, “Papi Chulo.” They twist around some verses to suit their own purposes on oldies like Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” (to “just Funkdoobiest”) and Diana Ross’ “Theme From Mahogany” (“Doobie knows where you’re going to”).
They bring back the catchy beat and sped-up vocals of Newcleus’ “Jam on It” on the remake “Act on It.” But instead of borrowing the familiar hook from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” they cop its central question: “Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?”
The delivery of rapper Sondoobie has a familiar ring — that high, whiny New York wiseacre squawk often associated with CYPRESS HILL. Yet he’s changing the voice a bit too, slowing it down with a deeper voice on a few tracks, yet still switching effortlessly from English to Spanish and back.
There are a lot of voices on “Troubleshooters” though, including Daz from Tha Dogg Pound on “Papi Chulo,” and Hitman, Hurricane G, Tony Touch, MC Fats, and a handful of others.
Instead of losing control of the party, though, Funkdoobiest remains on top throughout “Troubleshooters,” making it the sharpest rap release of the year yet."
