Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

2 Bigg MC — He's the King of the Hype!


He's not. "King of the Hype" because he's the hypeman for MC Hammer and performed vocals on "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em", worst rap album of the year. In more detail, but not too much, with a team large enough to envy the cast of a small independent film, we can expect a little more than simple and minimal skinny beats, a drum machine that works roughly, remaining syncopated, skinny, minimal, but light to give a lot of space to the rough, cumbersome, syncopated and barking delivery of this rapper who sounds really bad-bad-not-good. Instead, the brothers Kent "The Lone Mixer" and Kevin "2 Bigg MC" Wilson from Oakland, California, offer a quite subdued and generic album, below the acceptable level for a '90 rap effort: it hadn't started well, with a pretty mediocre first piece, but the second one was quite acceptable, as mediocre as the previous one. Unfortunately, the third song is a ballad among the worst placed in a tracklist that totally kills the disc and gives it an immediate 2. Beats by The Lone Mixer, rap by 2 Bigg MC, the record is released by deep house / dance music label Crush Music and distributed by K-Tel, falling pretty flat in the market and immediately ending the young hypeman's rapping career. 4/10.
