Classic.......2006-02-17

Very good 1989 classic for sure.The best songs on this album in my opinion are Wild Thing,Funky Cold Medina,and The Homies.Wild Thing was a very big hit I don't know who hasen't heard it.Funky Cold Medina was the same way very popular.A great old school rap buy for anybody.

A Classic CD that every hip hop fan must buy.......2004-12-26

I don't care who don't likes him and/or never like his style. 'Cause he's my favorite old-school rapper alongside Young MC, MC Hammer, EPMD, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane, Chubb Rock, Public Enemy, just to name a few artists from that genre.

You see Tone-Loc always keep it real w/o ever negating the positive images that's behind hip-hop. I consider this an album that shows real sides of whats happening in the world of hip-hop right now, one that shows people that kind of rap music is worth listening to.

Now ya'll think he's the worst rapper 'cause he can't rhyme or sing? Are you saying that this s**t is wack? Hell haw, if this is not 4 you, you shouldn't buy it.

That's why a lot of people are hatin on rap right now b/c it's lost its message and/or its voice. I pray we keep our soul alive in the industry w/o ever falling apart.

Every music or must-have fan should have this 'cause they missin' a lot of real stuff that it's happening 'round our culture.

Long story short, my 1st favorites from the album are Funky Cold Medina, Wild Thing and Loc'ed After Dark. I know I love every song I download off this album.

This is highly recommend 4 those who wants to hear real hip-hop. For instance, if u see BROWN SUGAR or ever listen to Kanye West's classic album THE COLLEGE DROPOUT you would know there's a difference between them making a new direction in the hip-hop culture.

I would love for Tone-Loc to come back with a new album in the near future. No rap fan or non-rap lover should hate on this.

This is a rap album that was actually funny!.......2004-11-19

No deep review needed! Just listen to "Wild Thing" and "Funny
Cold" and you will laugh your @ss off! The sad part is that
some of that is because this is so cheesy!

One of my all-time favorite rap albums..........2004-03-29

I grew up on the beginnings of rap. Ice-T, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, UTFO... these groups laid the foundations for what was to come. Approximately 10 years later Ton-Loc comes on the scene when rap was at an all-time low (in my opinion) and dance-music ruled the airwaves. Ton-Loc was different and that's what made him unique amongst all other rap artists. I first heard Ton-Loc's Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina in '89, my senior year in high school. It wasn't until after I graduated that I heard his whole album. A friend of mine had the tape and I practically wore it out when he left it in my car. A lot of reviewers say they dislike Track 10. Me and a friend of mine were building bass systems in our cars before the car audio market started to take hold. Track 10 was and still is THE song we use to test our systems. It's the benchmark we use to this day. Track 10 was perfect for showing up at a friend's house and "announcing" yourself. In later years I ran it through a bass boost filter and made it even more powerful. Move forward 15 years and I'm still listening to this album. I like most every song except for Cheeba and Homies. You just can't find rap like this anymore because it's all been reduced to cussing and demoralization of others. This whole album is so fleshed out, something you don't find in a lot of debut albums. It's timeless in my opinion. I give this one 5 stars because I never get tired of the songs. The music is clean and crisp and sounds great on a decent system. I'm not a big rap fan anymore since most of the music on the radio nowadays is saturated with different incarnations of it, but albums like this take me back to a simpler time when rap was worth listening to.

This is not the '80s.......2004-03-04

This CD features Tone Loc's two smash hits from the late 80s, "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina". These songs are both undeniable rap classics. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is not as good as those two songs. Most of the other songs are pretty forgetable, although "On Fire" is pretty good. The album reaches a definite low point with the five minute long instrumental "Loc'in on the Shaw", which Loc doesn't even appear on. Fans of old school rap may want to get this CD, if only for the two hits.

Tone Loc is a west coast pioneer for sure---.......2000-11-13

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?

great west coast pioneer.......2000-01-27

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!

Tone Loc Comes With the Head noddin' Beats.......1999-07-03

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).......1999-07-01

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.

it's a very dope cd everyone should have it.......1999-04-17

it's before the gangsta rap of the ninety's it's not every other word f this and f that. its a goot cd
