Look at the cover, what will this album be about? Total Devastation, is a hip-hop trio from Bay Area, San Fran, consisting of Bernie "Rasta Redeye" Castro, Anthony "Soopa Dupa" Platt and DJ Tuf Cut Tim the Fat Beat Maker, respectively born in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Mexico. I've never heard of them. Probably, neither do you. Almost an hour of listening divided into fourteen cuts, including intro and a remix.
This is yet another group inspired by Cypress Hill, but very little here will remind you of the group led by B Real: the themes are simple, the girls are the secondary one, while the production is decent, with some mediocre samples, skinny and slow drum machine, slow, cheerful and lazy rapping style. There's hardly anything worth mentioning, because the whole album is forgettable: there are some accessible funky rhythms, a few random elements spot on like dark bridges on the hooks, cheerful hooks, and the final remix is better than the original, but the rest pretty much doesn't work. As an example, "Zooted" features a mediocre host on a lazy beat and unwilling delivery from the performers, and it's a cut that reaches six minutes. Rymskeme, Flymar, Whoop "D" Wham, Nappy and Michael M are the guests of this tape, but no one does anything to be remembered. The record goes pretty boring until the fifth pick, when one of the rappers goes crazy and comes up with a meaningless misogynist verse, 4/10.
