The Troubleshooters (album)
The Troubleshooters is the third studio album by the Los Angeles-based Latin hip hop group Funkdoobiest, released in 1998. It was the group's first album without Tomahawk Funk. Unlike their previous two albums, there is no production by their mentor DJ Muggs. "Papi Chulo" features Tha Dogg Pound member Daz Dillinger. Critical reception. The "Hartford Courant" noted "the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.'s original approach to samples." The "Chicago Tribune" wrote: "Opting to entertain rather than overwhelm, Funkdoobiest's third album wins with laughs and their trademark off-kilter presentation  ... '!Oyi Papi!' is hard-core Latino hip-hop at its finest." The "Austin American-Statesman" stated: "Sampling from a brightly colored sonic palette of beats, cultures, languages and guest MCs ... Funkdoobiest has created the ultimate urban cruisin' soundtrack—on which the moods change as fast as the passing landscape." Sample credits. Papi Chulo Act on It Holdin' It Down Doobie Knows
