This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Now here’s a match made in gangsta heaven.
Rappers — you know, those artists who are always getting dogged for supposedly glorifying drugs and crime — provide the music for Eddie Murphy’s foamation comedy The PJs — which has been getting a bum rap from humour-impaired types for poking fun at life in the ’hood. This hour-long collection is basically one long street party featuring the cream of the G-rap crop — Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, Timbaland, Wu-Tang‘s Raekwon and so on — churning out block-rocking beats, slinky bass grooves and ghetto-centric lyrics. It’s a beautifully funky day in the neighbourhood.
