What More Can I Say
If ever a hip-hop outfit could be classified as a one-hit wonder, it's Audio Two. MC Milk (cousin to MC Lyte, who covered Audio Two's hit onSeven & Seven) and DJ Gizmo produced one of the most name-checked rap attacks ever--"Top Billin'"--and it still holds up as a classic B-boy jam. Unfortunately, what follows is strictly doo-doo. The rhymes are instantly repetitive, while the beats are thinned-out drum-machine tracks and James Brown samples. Even with Stetsasonic's Daddy-O stepping to the boards on a couple of tracks, there's no juice here. If you're looking for the hit, tryHip-Hop Classics, Volume One, where it's at least surrounded by some other good tracks.--Todd Levin
