"..Cuz A D.U. Party Don't Stop!"

"Once again, back is the incredible!" The Bay Area superstars are back with a brand new studio album, and this one is must-add for any D.U. fan. Shock-G, Money B, and crew bring another heater for the eardrums. "..Cuz A d.u. Party Don't Stop!" comes with bangin' new tracks like Blue Skyy featuring Young Fifth, and Lettuce In The Club with D.U. newcomer BINC. Other noteable tracks include Who's Bumpin featuring Liz Suwandi and Meeheadsoon with Element and Esinchill. This album wraps up Digital Underground's studio career... as the group has officially announced a disband after this album is settled. As the last album of their 20+ year career, its not only a collectible for the new music, it also features live tracks of fan favorites from the road, including an "unplugged" version of Sex Packets that any fan would want in their iPod. The album features longtime Digital Underground members Shock-G, Money B, Humpty Hump and Esinchill but is also meant to introduce newer crew members who have been in the group since the last album. Newcomers Element, Young Fifth, Liz Suwandi, and Choice Cuts are all featured. Also highlighted is DJ NuStylez, the crew's new DJ. NuStylez shows off his skills on the break track "Four One Four" which samples Shock-G. Also, this album marks the first and perhaps only appearance of Shock-G's southern-based cousin Buttafly.

Not A Typical D.U. Release, Which Is Why I Love It

Every Digital Underground album has been kind of an experience for me, with this one being no different. It's not "typical" but if you stack any two discs from their catalog side-by-side its almost impossible to make direct comparisons. You thought Sex Packets was too freaky or sexual... then don't even mess with Bodyhat Syndrome. You thought Sons of the P was too deep or not hard-hitting enough, then you'll love Future Rhythm. If you thought Who Got The Gravy was their best album ever, then I doubt you love the EP Release, and so on. "Cuz A d.u. Party Don't Stop!" is a fun listen because there are many exposed sides of this group. Their More Manure song is some typical loopy Shock G silly stuff, while the hard hitting Who's Bumpin cut is their first-ever super fast "dance" track. Meeheadsoon is another kick-in-the pants while All About You and Everything Ya Done For Me are more on the serious tip. Blue Skyy shows off that typical Shock G flair for production, with tight Cali-driven lyrics and the guitarist used on many Tupac tracks. The live cuts on this album are almost a bonus experience never-before had. So no... this isn't a typical Digital Underground release. But I think after all these years, they've showed us that there's NO SUCH THING! Get it... or get gone! September 7, 2008

Disappointing CD

I'm a true hard-core DU fan and this CD dissapointed me. In my opinion, there only four (studio) jams I listen to on this CD. The Live Jams are only ok...not off the hook like the other DU jams I'm accustomed to. August 28, 2008

Please stop the party!

Now you can tell from his everyday hits this ain't it...so he should seist and desist with this sh!%....Just another D.U. album that needs to be remixed.....not worth a dollar or even 15 cents.

I'm still a fan though!!! August 1, 2008

A Lackluster Effort

As a 20-year fan of Digital Underground, I was excited for one last chance to jump on the D-Flow Shuttle. But unfortunately, most of the tracks on this CD fail to live up to DU's previous efforts. The P-funk feel just isn't there outside of a few tracks like "Cali Boogie", while the main members like Shock-G and Money-B mostly make way for the newer members who don't half the rhyming skills they do. There's also some live sets and a few remixes, but nothing exceptional. This album will only please fans of the group, as newcombers will hear little of legendary DU funk. So if you've come this far with Humpty Hump then take one more ride and check it out. But for newbies, check out Sex Packets or Future Rhythm to truly hear what this group is about.

Nice to see another DU album

I've been a fan of DU since Sex Packets dropped. That said, I'm not really feelin' this album as a whole. There's kinda three sides to this album, the slightly offbeat but still tight DU that's evolved over the years, a nice set of live performances and a some songs centered around Ecstasy. You could hear the X creepin' in on Shock G's 2004 album "Fear Of A Mixed Planet". I hoped it was just some solo exploration and wouldn't make it into this DU album. I was wrong. Other than that it's a good album with some choice cuts on it, just not the "Body-Hat Syndrome" or "Future Rhythm" jump in style and substance I was hoping for. July 6, 2008
