Papa Razzi Gets Introspective, Shares his Worldview, And Offers Advice

***Papa Razzi Gets Introspective, Shares his Worldview, And Offers Advice*** is the 11th album by Papa Razzi and the Photogs, released on June 8, 2011. The album has 96 tracks and a runtime of 2 hours 32 minutes.

## Album

    This is album is a departure from Papa Razzi's first ten albums, and might be said to be an early No Jokes album - Farley seems to be sharing some of his own advice about life, not just that of "Papa Razzi". Though there is much humor as well, the titles of songs such as "Don't Say Bad Words, Ever!", "Don't Do Drugs!", 'Why Do Artists Gotta Be Weird and Stuff?" , and "I Like to Go on Long Walks" seem to clearly reflect Farley's own viewpoints.

This album was recorded about two months before filming began on *Don’t Let The Riverbeast Get You!* (2012). Farley and Charlie had bought a new camera and made some videos to test it out, including a "TV Advertisement" for this album which includes Farley wearing sunglasses and using Papa Razzi's occassional fake Italian accent to promote the album. On the album itself, the accent is addressed on "Why Do I Always Slip into a Fake Italian Accent?"

The song "Queen City Cupcakes (as so yummy)" is a store located in Manchester, New Hampshire. It appears in *Don’t Let The Riverbeast Get You!* (2012) and *Slingshot Cops* (2016).

## Artwork

The album cover features Farley looking thoughtful with his hand touching his chin. He also appears to be clutching some red fabric. What appears to be a Japanese woman figurine in a glass case appears next to him. The same photo is used for the cover of *You Are My Best Friend in the World, Vol. 5* by The Best Friend Song Fun Band.

## Reception

As of February 2022, this album remains criminally underappreciated. The most streamed song on Spotify as of February 2022 is "It's OK if you Poop/Pee Your Pants Sometimes. Don't Feel Bad." (11,025 streams).

In 2018, the blog "The Best of the Worst of Spotify" featured this album as a sample of Papa Razzi's work.

In 2021, music critic wikyboi on rateyourmusic.com gave this album five stars with the comment "absolutely perfect".
