"WE USE EXPLICIT LYRICS AS A METAPHOR TO DESCRIBE THE RAWNESS AND PURITY OF OUR ART FORM."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of the "Brothas Doobie" (1995) album (includes an interview with the group and a record review), the second studio full-length by Los Angeles-based hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST. This was the final album featuring back-up MC and hypeman Tomahawk Funk, who left the group after the album's release.
THE SOURCE: "You specifically choose to identify the group with extremely explicit lyrics. Why?"
DJ RALPH M: "We use explicit lyrics as a metaphor to describe the rawness and purity of our art form. The lyrics are X-rated so they stand out, and they stand out to create awareness. Each song on this album deals with a different subject matter."
SON DOOBIE: "We have our own funk, not G-funk like everyone else in the West, but explicit funk. For example, "Pussy Ain't Shit" deals with what men will do for some. People lie, die, and fight for sex, and we are trying to let them know that it will always be there, that there is no need for the drama. Also, people need to understand we have no plans to water down our style."
[Check out the pics for the fine print interview/review, and I typed all this out verbatim by squinting my eyes nearly to death! haha!]
