Underappreciated..... {4.5 Stars}.......2006-07-03

I think Amazon misspelled the title to this album. It's actually "Da' Miilkrate", but anyway....

Though I wouldn't go as far as to say that Miilkbone is the first caucasian sensation, he was definitely dope. I think that distinction should go to MC Serch (the Beasties get love too, but lyrically they came off basic in the beginning). That's just me though.

If you want to get an idea of where Miilkbone's head is at, just check out the opening skit "No Gimmicks". Dude was on a mission and you could tell he was hungry. There are bangers like "How Ya Like It", "Check Me Out", and "Mindgamez" all throughout the album. Classics like "Keep It Real", "Where'z Da' Party At?", and the awesome "Kids On The Ave" make Da Miilkrate a must have LP. Lyrically, Miilkbone did a pretty good job of riding dope beat after dope beat -- there was no questioning whether or not the guy could rhyme. Most of the production is handled by Mufi and his partner Butch Whip with contributions from Kay Gee (Naughty By Nature), Nick Wiz, and Steve White. The sound is vintage mid 90's grimey boom bap with party jams sprinkled in here and there. As an added bonus, there's even a remix for "Keep It Real" hidden at the end of the album (this was back when a remix was really a remix and not the same beat with added guest vocals).

There isn't a whole lot wrong with this album. There are probably one or two tracks that don't hold up well after 11 years. "Murder Verbs" is cool, but it can fall under skip material if you're not in the mood for it. There are no wack tracks, just a few passable ones. There are also a few skits this album could've done without too.

The Miilkrate is one of those great albums from the 90's that somehow fell through the cracks and has largely been forgotten. Whether you want some dope hip hop to turn to after being fed up with the mainstream blitz or you just want to stroll down memory lane, this album will certainly do the trick for either objective. It's a shame that this LP didn't blow up like it should've, they simply don't make albums like this anymore. I highly recommend this one.

Standout Tracks: Mindgamez, How Ya Like It?, Check Me Out, Keep It Real (My Favorite), 2 All Y'all, Ketchrek, Where's Da Party At?, Keep It Real (Remix), It Ain't The Same, and Move Wit' Da Groove

Great CD.......2006-03-15

What a great mid 90s era rap album. This guy came out with force back then reppin jersey. Def a must buy for underground hip hop fans. Just not another white rapper out there. Wish the 2nd CD came out as good as this. Would love to hear new stuff from him

Keepin it Real'.......2005-08-11

When I first heard this I said "Damn, dude can spit!" Miilkbone's debut was slepped on, due to promotion reasons I believe. Its got a great underground feel with dope lines throughout. Recommended only for HIP HOP HEADZ, mainstream fans this one isn't really for ya.

The first caucasian sensation.......2004-08-03

I bought this album back in 1995, and it is a testmonial to the era in which it was made, The Golden Age of Hip-Hop. The lyrics are tight, beats are tight and the productions tight. Miilkbone truly dispalys some skills.

Before there was Eminem...there was a kid from Jersey name MIILKBONE. Truly the original "caucasian sensation". Definitely worth having in your collection.
