Songs like “Reach For It” showcase Devin’s renowned nasal singing ability, but also highlight how strong a presence he is. Time is limited, much like the longevity of a lit blunt. The initially morbid “Stop Waitin’ (To Die)” is actually a reminder that even when you get older and become more likely to be lonely, keep doing what you want (further emphasised on the following song “Reach For It”). On “I’m Just Gettin’ Blowed” he discards the differences between a cigarillo and a blunt all the while fretting about his stash that’s left in his car. For Devin, it’s a lifestyle-choice much in the same vein as having a few drinks is. It’s the nuances that separate Devin from any other rapper that show he isn’t making money from the glorification of smoking marijuana. “I’m Just Getting’ Blowed” is as crisply produced as anything from Andre Young himself (although includes an irritating sound that happens to be the same as the Windows PC pop-up noise) – Devin’s effortlessly chilled rhymes help hold together an admittedly excellent instrumental with some top notch saxophones. So passing judgment on Devin the Dude’s latest album “One For The Road” won’t be judged on the fact that Devin has a long history with hip hop that’s notably hefty on the chronic, kush or skunk.įrom the outset, “One For The Road” is evidently laid back. But then, I also grew up on Wu-Tang Clan and Mobb Deep and I’m (so far) no more likely to swing swords or stab people in the face with their own nosebones. I doubt every one of those consumers was a stoner, in fact I knew a whole group of guys that DIDN’T smoke marijuana in their teens yet absorbed plenty of Cypress Hill albums, myself included. Not only would that severely limit Devin’s fanbase – but there’s no doubt that many hip hop fans first heard Devin on Dr Dre’s multi-platinum selling “2001” album which itself was heavily influenced by being under the influence. Yet, I disagree with this sentiment no matter how much I understand the viewpoint. There’ll be some strong relations to the music, but you can’t fully experience the message as it was intended. However, getting a guy who doesn’t smoke weed to review a Devin the Dude album is a bit like asking for a sober perspective on an Alkaholiks record. OK we get it, Devin raps about his drug habit and whilst this may seem like limited subject matter, he’s damn good at it. He’s not just a dope rapper, but a dope rapper. For those not up on Devin the Dude, he’s a fellow graduate from Cypress Hill’s high school.
