But not quite at the level of the "Crazy Like A Fox" album(s) noted by Outsider in the post just above. In particular the DITC version has some of the darkest, heaviest East Coast beats (with horns even) that I've ever come across.

There's two versions and one of them only involves the D.I.T.C.

Before I purchased the album, I never heard a song or even a clip. I just purchased it because I knew it was a Freddie Foxx album and I would not be disapointed. Imagine if the whole album had been produced by Dj Premier or even Pete Rock? I think it would have been a perfect album. I give it an 8 out of 10.Eddie Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-48714745008668532532009-04-20T17:20:00.000-05:002009-04-20T17:20:00.000-05:00i like this review, this album is definitely the t...i like this review, this album is definitely the type of album i want to get, after checking out freddie foxx, hes fucking raw as hell, im definitely getting this!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-91623096134587876492008-12-11T05:04:00.000-06:002008-12-11T05:04:00.000-06:00I swear to god I have bought this album twice (alt...I swear to god I have bought this album twice (although neither time from an actual record shop: one was from an Amazon marketplace seller, the second was a 'free gift' type thing for spending a certain amount at hhv.de) and both discs have been labelled as the album CD but have only contained three tracks - clean, dirty & instrumentals of 'Tell Em I'm Here'.<BR/><BR/>I&#The Main Issuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166791692450837708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-36810696781625343952007-09-27T11:02:00.000-05:002007-09-27T11:02:00.000-05:00I was introduced to Fred via the Flava Unit compil...I was introduced to Fred via the Flava Unit compilation album Roll Wit Tha Flava. He had one of the better tracks on the album and I recommend it if you dig that early 90’s party hip hop. Lately, he’s been ragging on Rakim and even challenging the God to a lyrical sparring match. Ragging is not an appropriate term.
