iTunes Review

A Los Angeles duo with a penchant for old-school party raps, rowdy breakbeats, and funkdafied samples, People Under the Stairs (Thes One and Double K) have been putting out top-quality, true-school hip-hop since the late ‘90s. Though not as overtly retro as peers like Jurassic 5 and Ugly Duckling, their music rejects preset keyboard beats and fraudulent thug boasting, instead focusing on having fun, getting their party on, digging for old records, and showing love to their Cali homeland. Originally included on their seventh album Carried Away, "Beer" is just what the title suggests, a tribute set to an '80s-style beats and slick cuts that would sound right at home on Licensed To Ill. The "Colt 45 Mix" adds a glutinous bassline to the fun, while the sublimely mellow, clap-laden "Down In L.A." could be a sequel to Cube's "It Was a Good Day," with shout-outs to barbeques, the barber shop, and the Lakers.

u must be high

you must be a vanilla wacked whiteboy!

I agree with sn8tron..3030 cuz i nevers seen a vanilla gorilla ha ha ha .. maybe a silverback You know some people just buy music cuz others thinks its cool.. or its on the top 10 ,well always listen to the indies and the underground brothas who havent made it yet and been white washed by the music industries and just like like Joel Ortiz says he writes the for the under DOGS and NOT for you FOOL

Thank You!

GREAT JOB! I enjoyed these hits. This brought me back to 1990-1992. I have confidence tht Hip Hop will be safe with groups like this.
