Grand Puba: 2000
Grand Puba: 2000
Label: Elektra
Year: 1995
Grand Puba comes out of the tunnel to the sweet sound of The Delfonics winning the approval of Jackie Brown and in turn Max Cherry. “I Like It (I Wanna Be Where You Are)” is funky, jazzy & soulful where in the moment references age like fine wine. Grand Puba is singing on “A Little Of This” like Joe was singing in his garage, he’s flat out funny on “Keep On” and if “Backstabbers” leads the listener to the original it does its job. “2000” resets the clock, “Don’t Waste My Time” overwhelmingly makes the case for acoustic drums & electric bass and from there Grand Puba just plays and like his beloved New York Knickerbockers he goes a full 48 minutes! (47:29 for the literalists).
