"WE USE EXPLICIT LYRICS AS A METAPHOR TO DESCRIBE THE RAWNESS AND PURITY OF OUR ART FORM."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of the "Brothas Doobie" (1995) album (includes an interview with the group and a record review), the second studio full-length by Los Angeles-based hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST. This was the final album featuring back-up MC and hypeman Tomahawk Funk, who left the group after the album's release.

THE SOURCE: "You specifically choose to identify the group with extremely explicit lyrics. Why?"

DJ RALPH M: "We use explicit lyrics as a metaphor to describe the rawness and purity of our art form. The lyrics are X-rated so they stand out, and they stand out to create awareness. Each song on this album deals with a different subject matter."

SON DOOBIE: "We have our own funk, not G-funk like everyone else in the West, but explicit funk. For example, "Pussy Ain't Shit" deals with what men will do for some. People lie, die, and fight for sex, and we are trying to let them know that it will always be there, that there is no need for the drama. Also, people need to understand we have no plans to water down our style."

[Check out the pics for the fine print interview/review, and I typed all this out verbatim by squinting my eyes nearly to death! haha!]

"PRODUCED & MIXED BY DJ MUGGS & DJ LETHAL -- THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE UNDERGROUND HIT, "THE FUNKIEST.""

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1981x2510 -- Spotlight on a record ad for the "Bow Wow Wow” 12-inch single by Los Angeles/Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, c. 1992, on Immortal Records. Illustration by Glenn Barr.

"Like a good fella, I'm a good speller, Yet I get retarded like Hellen Keller, Take it, I'll kick it, better I'll flick it, Just like a booger, I fuck around with hookers, Like Tina Turner, I'm a fast learner, Earning up my wealth, now I go for self, Like Barney Rubble, who's always in trouble, I'm quick on the double, you'll never see me fumble, Like a quaterback, think I oughta smack, Wack MCs who think they're all of that."

-- "Bow Wow Wow" (1992/'93) by FUNKDOOBIEST
