BOO YAA T.R.I.B.E.


BOO YAA T.R.I.B.E.
DOOMSDAY (1994)
320 KBPS


The album Doomsday is the second offering by the group Boo Yaa TRIBE and is far harder than their first, New Funky Nation. Whereas New Funky Nation used more metaphore, Doomsday is much more in-your-face. The intro sets the tone: snippets of interviews to the sounds of the ticking of a time bomb interspersed with gunshots followed by a roll call of track titles, which is remeniscent of gang set roll calls from other underground CD's such as Flamin: B-Dawgs Come Better.
From there on, the tracks are truely gangsta orientated, with subtle mentions of their piru affiliation. Some tracks are more socially aware given the subject matter of the LA Uprising of 1992 (Shoot 'Em Down and Gang Related being examples). Ganxsta Ridd's vocals carry well over the beats, as do final verses on some of the tracks by Murder One.
What sets Boo Yaa out from any other West Coast group (or any rap group) interms of sound is that they are able to harmonise without the need for R&B guest singers and are also able to play their own instruments. This produces a sound very similar to the funk group War and is excellent.
