3rd Bass — Derelicts of Dialect


Sophomore and last record of the 3rd Bass, not up to the excellent debut. Pete Nice and MC Serch still retain a good lyricism and some good fun bars delivered with a light and easy rapping style, but their effort is too long, there are too many skits and some unnecessary fillers, even if the project is deeply flowing. The production is simple and sparse, jazzy and full of samples, but qualitatively it's irregular and despite his three tracks, Prince Paul doesn't stand out. The album is pretty decent, but there isn't a song that stands out, except for the vibrant dissing against Vanilla Ice "Pop Goes the Wiesel", an attack on pop rap that becomes a pop rap banger with radio replay. 7/10.
