The west coast has something else to offer besides Gangsta Rap, prove Lootpack with their debut impressively: Nested, mostly bleak arranged monotonous beats, a few choruses for straight up rape. This record is certainly not for the usual MTVIVA hip hopper standing on Glamour rap a la Puffy or Deutschrap. Lootpack are lyrically more in the tradition of the Native Tongues like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Gang Starr said Lootpacks sound can hardly be compared with these. The whole diversity of their sound becomes apparent only after several Hördurchgängen; wherein each time something new discovered in the songs, which one never noticed before. And that's what makes this record so exciting.
