Disco de Kottonmouth Kings: “Koast II Koast”

Ok, first of all, stop reading all the reviews that simply say, "wow this album is great!" Or "KMK's worst album, nothing compared to High Society" Well, duh, frankly if you're looking for the same thing as high society, stop listening to KMK. High Society was great, but you can't expect a band to not evolve, and not change their sound. Thats stupid. I have been listening to KMK for so long, and they keep amazing me with how each album evolves a little from the last, but stays true to what they are and want to be.

Now, this CD is amazing. The Kings are definitely steering more towards Hip-Hop and Kingspade beats with this CD, and I say awesome. If You're a fan of songs like "sub noize rats" unfortunately this CD has nothing for you. But, if you're like me and thought that the punk rock stuff was good, but it wasnt you're favorite, and that songs like "Soul Surfin" started really good, but then were kinda f-ed up by the fast punk chorus, then You'll enjoy this CD. Not to say that there is no punk/rock in this cd, it just takes a major backseat, and is audible on some of the songs but it is still hip hop, with a dash of punk/rock flavor.

Bottom Line: If you like the songs like "King Klick" or "Drunk in the Club" from kingspade, You will absolutely love this album, cause its full of tracks just like these!

ok first of all, if you listen to kmk because of the Rip-Hop sounds(Punk rock/hip hop)than dont get this album,rip-hop is almost non existent on the kings 8th album, but if your a fan of the rap aspect that we see more with KingSpade or the Sub-Noize Souljaz than this album is for you, yea not all the songs are single quality, this is their 8th album and theres still plenty of good music left in em. Ive been a fan of kmk ever since I was a little kid seeing the bump video on the box for the first time and to this date have never heard a kmk song I didnt like present album included, im not gonna say wich songs are good and wich ones arent, all im gona say is for the price of the CD, you get 24 tracks totally void of crap and way more than a handful of songs guaranteed to be stuck in your head till the next album drops

This is a top klass album. Theres 1 song that aint to kool but otherwise i recomend it. If you like KMK with no punk tracks then get this. KMK are the S%$t!

OK this is officially the last Kottonmouth Kings cd I will buy. I'm not going to support them anymore. This isnt music people. I used to love KMK, because they had such a unique energy to thier songs. Albums like High Society, Hidden Stash Vol. 2, and Rollin Stoned were clearly when they were in their prime. These guys fell way off. Cmon, Daddy X is like 50 years old now and hes become the best lyricist in the group by default, but his voice is horrible and makes it annoying to listen to. Even Richters rapping is lazy. And I dont even want to talk about D-Loc dumbing it down; his new "single" from the subnoize souljas album might be the worst attempt ive ever heard this camp do. They seem like theyre trying to dumb it down so they can cross over into the mainstream. Heck, I was in a Journeys shoe store and the music video for "everybody move" came on. And thats cool, you gotta eat, but see you cant dumb down already dumbed down music. There are no stand out tracks on this album in my opinion. The opening track "wheres the weed at" is possibly the best song on the album but isnt even very good. Equipped with corny lines like "wheres the weed at, its in my back pack but you cant touch that", they just come off as idiots. Real hip hop and rap fans laugh at these guys. If they could mature over time and express more through thier albums, I would be feeling them so much more and could give them respect as artists. They have been around over 10 years now and still havent said much other than they smoke weed have sex and live the fast life; Any one can rap about that. And on the last recent few albums they have gotten less creative in expressing it. Listen to D-Loc on the song "Elevated Minds" (from the album High Society) and then listen to him on "Wheres the Weed at" and try to tell me his creativity isnt completely gone. I give them the one star for 2 reasons: because they didnt have any weak fake @ss punk attempts on this album (even though the other songs dont make up for it); and secondly because amazon makes you give a 1 star minimum. In closing, dont support them for doing what theyre doing because its all a front. They even said it, their raps a hustle. They hustlin you. Make them broke and maybe theyll come back real some other time. I agree with the reviewer before me who said they need to spend time on an album instead of dishing them out so quick.

If you are just getting into kottonmouth kings, I recommend any of the albums I mentioned before: High Society, Hidden Stash Vol. 2, and Rollin' Stoned

Another amazing cd. Each KMK album has it's own feeling though. Legalize it..Vote Nader in 08.
