The Bomfunk MC's are a two-man group from Finland. They've released three CD's: In Stereo, Reversed Psychology and Burnin' Sneakers. I must admit I never really listened to the other two albums, I felt like they could NEVER compete with In Stereo.
Most of you probably know the song Freestyler, because it was a huge hit. It is still played on music channels regularly. For some reason, people tagged the music as 'dance', but all the songs contained 'rap' and they had titles such as Other Emcee's, B-Boys & Fly Girls, Uprockin' Beats and Freestyler (these are all hip-hop terms!). Well, you can dance to most of the album, so I guess it's understandable.. The album was promoted with videoclips for (in chronological order) Uprocking Beats, B-Boys & Fly Girls and Freestyler. But none of these is my favorite song off the album. My favorite is Sky's The Limit. As a kid I didn't really understand the lyrics to the song, but it sounded emotional to me and I thought it was beautiful. So I recommend you listen to that one first!
There are also the party songs like Rocking, Just To Make Ya Move and In Stereo. And you gotta love 1,2,3,4. Oh what am I saying, every song is hot. When I was younger, I was always shocked by the song Rock, Rocking Tha Spot because you can hear a girl saying 'Fuck me!' LOL. But it's a hot song. Andddd... Spoken Word, which is kinda like the outro.. It starts off so scary, seriously that song gave me the creeps, especially at the part when the phone rings.. But then rapper Raymond 'B.O.Dubb' Ebanks starts freestyling and gives the album a great ending.
All in all, you should not listen to this album if you like quality raps. But if you like hip-hop that's easy to listen to, hip-hop you can play at a party without people rolling their eyes, then this is the shit you need to check out.
