Surf MC's ‎– Surf Or Die

Well, say what you will, I'm not old enough to remember trends of this era in hip hop, but fuckin' A this is GREAT in my opinion, just because it's a condensation of so many different 80's trends, most of them.
Granted... the album is very duded out, and mini truckish... but how is that any different than rap of today?I will take cornballs who front like surf / sk8 / beach bum over today's rappers, who act for the most part like angry ignorant cornballs motivated by fear and lack of understanding... what can i say.
How can anyone say this is bad, compared to the garbage that's dumped out now a days? Every song has a theme (something that will damn near get you God-like status in today's hip hop world) and it takes a lot of balls to put out a cover like that, then or now. I just put this LP on my want list, since I found a cassette version and it's been in heavy rotation all week. As a former skateboarder, all I can say is "GOTTA GET AIR"! EAT BREAD TO SHRED

Album is not that bad. Today I was hangin' out listening to them and I can even say - I enjoyed it. Lyrics and flow are quite lousy (i wouldn't call them mcs at all), but beats (despite being a cheap copy of "licensed to ill") got the groove and it makes this album a good one for parties. Of course i know "Surf Or Die" is not very good and can't be compared to the best albums from that period, but, i would say - it is quite enjoyable.
