Daddy X: Organic Soul
[Suburban Noize]

If you don't think that the Kottonmouth Kings are the worst thing to ever happen to music, then this means you are probably a huge dork who turns in his homework spelled out in Ebonics. For example, I bet you didn't know this, but you don't spell the word "noise" like this: "noize." You might be asking yourself, why not?, and while it's not really worth my time to tell you why your grammar is terrible and your taste in music is even worse, I would be glad to tell you that you're a perfect match for Daddy X's solo debut, Organic Soul. If you're a Kottonmouth Kings fan, then you already read my endearing review of Big B's High Class White Trash. I thought that record was stupid, but at least it was fun to make fun of it. Organic Soul is not as much fun to laugh at, because it carries this "praise jah" bullshit in every other song and you can't help but want to strangle Daddy X for biting Eazy-E's flow on "Old School Shit." I think my greatest beef with the album is the track "Everybody Must Get Stoned," which is really a droning cover of "Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35," but Daddy X was too stoned to remember the real title. So, if you're a big fan of reggae-funk-hip-hop, then you'll probably dig this record. If you want to just listen to reggae, funk and hip-hop independently of one another, then just ask me and I could recommend better selections from each of those genres. Until then, I'll leave you with the inspirational message found in the liner notes for the fanz: "Legalize freedom, seek truth, observe nature, educate yourself, and enjoy Daddy X." Let's all reach for that Jonestown Kool-Aid now.
