The State Vs. Doo Wop


Few DJ's have ever been as revered and as blessed talent-wise as Doo Wop. The man known as the "Bouncemasta" has been around forever in the Bronx and has dealt the hip-hop community classic tape after classic tape over the years as well as pionneering a few technique staples of the modern day mixtape. Things like well known artists "freestyling" over the hottest new beats in the street was somthing that Wop originated, as well as doing inventive mixtape covers and themes. With all that history and great music beaming out of a timeless career, Wop has few feats left to accomplish as far as the mixtape game goes. So it probably comes as no surprise that his latest retail offering "The State Vs. Doo Wop" is a complete reflection of his sterling career. It is in a word classic New York hip-hop. So reminiscent of his best tapes and filled with a lot of material taken from some of his classic tapes like "95 Live". Also embedded in this tape is Doo Wop's gut busting humor via his skits. Many times I've caught myself laughing out loud to skits on Wop's tapes, making it a full cycle of emotions when you bump Wop. You feel lyrical at times, then nostalgic, witty, then you wanna wild out and finally he usually throws somthing that tugs at your heart. The formula for this tape is no different (see the Big L tribute) and resonates with authenticity and of course bounce. Shit on this tape that will have you rewinding again and again is the boastful "P Lawn Dons" featuring Pun delivering his last known verse, also "Gangsta Shit", the cliche' titled yet lyrically potent track delivers some of AZ's finest bars. If your into the horns blaring, thugged out lyricism then make sure you check out the ultimate in street collabos as Kool G Rap, M.O.P., and Canibus go all out on throw it up.
