Tone-Loc - Loc-ed After Dark

Tone Loc is a west coast pioneer for sure---

Being from the Mid-West, I didn't catch on to Tone's early regional hits, but I do remember the summer of '89 when "WILD THING" hit the top 40 airwaves, and another hip-hop hero was discovered by me-- I didn't finally get around to picking up the album until recently-- but it's worth it-- The Dust Brothers were definitely on-point producers-- who'da figured that they were a couple of white college students?

Tone Loc doesn't really get much credit for spawning the west coast rap scene but he was one of the first back in tha 80's. great albulm great beats and it's a huge break from all that west and east coast gangsta rap that you hear nowadayz. old skool rulez! January 26, 2000

Tone Loc Comes With the Head noddin' Beats

Tone-Loc. MC extroardinarie. With vocal presentation similar to EPMD's bradadocio rhyme styleTone Loc hits harder then Mac Guire. But the beats are what make this album the classic that it is. Personnally, i had to pick up the three 12" singles from this album on vinyl cause the beats were so dope and I needed the INSTRUMENTALS. The singles really do stand out. First there was "On Fire" b/w "Cheeba Cheeba" (Delicious Vinyl's first ever record). Then came the classic track "Funky Cold Medina", which has the ILL guitar choords (D and E and C) and where Young MC first showcased his unique rhyme flow; later to give fan the classic "bust a Move". Then "Wild Thing" (which if you remember is the music playing as (actor) John Candy struts down the hall in Uncle Buck) came out. What more can I say. Loc-ed After Dark is dope. BUY THE CD.

Dig this one (out of your closet)

Ignore the two radio cuts, which were beefed up with hard rock guitar samples for crossover potential, and dance to the spare but utterly funky backing tracks on the rest of this album. I just found my old cassette copy and...this is way funkier than many of the hip-hop albums being released these days. Sometimes Tone is too much "on the beat" and throwing out what you'd expect; other times, like on "Cutting Rhythms", he leaves nice wide spaces between lines to let the words hit. July 1, 1999
