FARILLA "G"-THE GAMES OF LIFE 1990




THIS RECORD SURPRISED ME.I HAD NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE I BOUGHT,AND I BOUGHT IT LAST WEEK ON EBAY.I THINK IT HAD BEEN AUCTIONED OFF BEFORE-WITH THE PRICE STEADILY DECLINING-SO BY THE TIME IT GOT TO ME FOR AROUND $25 I FIGURED THE WORD WAS OUT AND IT WASN'T ANY GOOD.THAT'S HOW IT GOES ON EBAY WITH RANDOM HIP HOP RECORDS...ALL KINDS OF RECORDS,ACTUALLY....THE RECORD WAS RELEASED IN 1990 BUT IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE 86-87 DETROIT.I THINK IT WAS HOWARD HAWKS,THE DIRECTOR,(MAYBE SAM PECKINPHAH,I FORGET) WHO SAID THE FORMULA FOR A GREAT MOVIE,REGARDLESS OF GENRE,WAS "3 GREAT SCENES,NO BAD SCENES".I THINK THIS IS ALSO TRUE FOR LPS EXCEPT WITH SONGS,NOT SCENES.THIS RECORD MIGHT NOT QUALIFY FOR GREATNESS,BUT IT DOES HAVE 3 GREAT TRACKS:"HE DON'T WANNA BE A PIMP","HIPHOP GANGSTER" AND "BY CHOICE OR BY FORCE".THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY INNOCENT ABOUT THESE 3 TRACKS EVEN THOUGH I'M SURE THAT WASN'T FARILLA'S INTENT.IT'S KINDA HARD TO SOUND THREATENING WHEN THE PICTURE ON YOUR LP COVER IS OF A WOMAN CHANGING A FLAT TIRE.OOOOH,TAKE THAT BITCH!!!EVERY GANGSTA RECORD PRE-CHRONIC SOUNDS SORT OF GOOFY TO ME (THERE ARE DEFINITELY EXCEPTIONS TO THIS.A NOTABLE ONE BEING "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON") BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T BE ENTERTAINING...I'M YAKKIN' ABOUT MUSIC AGAIN,SORRY....
