Donnie D really knew how to make/produce a great pop hip-hop album, in retrospect. It's a strange album in a way, listening to it now. It sounds super late 80s retro, even though the record is from '91 (ok ok, maybe this is what some people called "a little behind the trends" but fuck 'em.)
"Music For The People" : OMG A FUCKING NEGATIVLAND SAMPLE! ("Annoucement" from Escape From Noise.. Holy shit!.. well anyway, this is a crazy breaksy dance track.
"Good Vibrations": the one most of you probably remember and nothing else. Hell, it was a great mainstream house/dance rap hit!
"Wildside": you see because it samples Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side" Get it? What's weird about it is that all the key changes in the "Walk On The Wild Side" sample.
"So What Chu Sayin": really bluntish and weird.
"Make Me Say Ooh!": probably the best song on the record.. also bluntish.
"On The House Tip": you gotta admit Marky Mark doesn't fuck around with song titles. What you see is what you get. Here you get a bonus surprise of Jungle Brothers and KC & The Sunshine Band samples. Crazy Donnie D!
Seriously though, I really love this record, and it still holds up as a fun ride after over a decade. Probably the best thing Mark Wahlberg has ever done in his career (besides Rhea Durham).
