Kottonmouth Kings Album: “Hidden Stash III”

Ok... Now I am not going to go out here and say its the greatest cd ever released by the Kings, but it is better than a lot of [...] that is getting released....

You have 2 cds, and a DVD full of contente. Sure the cds are not "KMK only", but that is because this was released as a way for the group to expose to people works that they had either never released or were done with the other SuburbanNoize Records artists... Unlike the other reviewer who said there are some songs on here that do not feature KMK artists he is wrong. Every song has at least one of the members of KMK on it...

As for tracks on here and even the last couple of albums sounding less punk that is not a bad thing. The Kings are able to go out with these tracks and pull in fans who are more 'hiphop' induced and pull them back into the "riphop" sound... The last few albums have been more underground rap than a lot of people like, but I am going to tell you this right now...

Kottonmouth Kings are still going to be around and they are adapting their style to the times... They have 'gangstad' out their style, but they are more rap; because they do know it sells and will get their message out and partied to a lot more...

by the way you can always listen to their older stuff if you have the cds... gott evolve and not sound the same all the time...

Man, this CD is not what I was expecting. After Rollin Stoned, they have been losing the punk - rock - rap style. Little guitar riffs and they changed it into underground rap. Kind of Crunk, underground rap. I guess it's more mainstream but I'd rather listen to their old stuff. High Society is their best Album. Rollin Stoned is pretty good too. Oh well, new sound but I'm still gonna go to their concerts cause they get the crowd rowdy!!! d[-_-]b

You get 36 chronic songs and a full-length DVD. This deal is off the hook.

You also get tracks with subnoize artists with KMK members.

Ok this review isn't gonna be very long. First and foremost, this is more like a Subnoize Souljas release, because most of the songs feature other subnoize artists, and a lot of the songs don't even have the Kings in them. Anway, i took off one star for that reason. I was expecting a lot of KmK songs, especially a lot of old ones that hadn't been released yet. Unfortunately, there were only a few. And i LOVE High Society, i think the Kings were at their best back then. Anyway, i took off another star because a lot of these songs have already been released. I can name at least half or more of the songs from this cd that have been on a subnoize souljas cd. To me, that's just either getting lazy, or just an attempt to put out enough stuff as you can in order to make more money. It's still a good cd though, even though i don't listen to many other subnoize artists, cuz they don't really stand out to me. If you're just getting into KmK, get High Society.

Track Highlights in a best to worst order are: Still Smokin, Karma(which was obviously recorded during High Society, the Kings' peak), Police Story, and Gone Get High.
