This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Screamn Dat Pimpin' album by OG Jhiame Dog who is the legendary Screwed Up Click producer known as Jhiame. Screamn' Dat Pimpin' was released in 1995 on Jhiame Productions based out of Houston, Texas and B 4 Reel Records which is based out of Houston, Texas. This album is filled with Hip Hop/Rap, Funk, Blues, and R&B/Soul. The back of the album cover represents symbols of the 1970s such as the Black Power fist chain, the Afro pick comb, the black Go Go boots, and the star glasses. The front cover parodies the Superfly lettering of Superfly by Curtis Mayfield.
On Screamn' Dat Pimpin'… It's 12 o'clock with OG Jhiame Dog and he needs a dub sack. OG Jhiame is a player raised by the old school and spreadin' hustle to the new school. This is an international hustle. From Hollywood to Houston. From Newark to Paris to Dubai and to New York City. The drum programming is on point.
Hustler's Anthem is dedicated to all the hustler's of course. Whatever your hustle is, keep on pimpin'! Whether you a doctor, a lawyer, or a social worker. Do whatcha gotta you do! Pimp On samples The Floaters - Float On. I love the Djembe drums and drum beats on Pimp On. Stop Hi-Cappin' is talking about religion at first.The beat is real good. E-Z Way Out is about a brother (hustler) making his way out the ghetto. The title says it all. Gangsta! I B Not is all about the streets. Ooo! Wee is just a party jam.
Cats Wanna Be Dogs is an ode to George Clinton - Atomic Dog. Perfect G-Funk jam! The choir, beats, bass, and vox are on point! Hey Hoez is dedicated to all the hoez out there! You know who you are. Playarism is about how playas do. Playa's Blues is a Blues track featuring famous Blues musician artist Leon Banks. Although I wish it were more than 2 minutes and 50 seconds long. It should have been close to 4 or 5 minutes long.
For some reason this album went under the radar. Maybe it was something with Southwest Distribution or lack of promotion. I don't know.
I rate this album, Screamn' Dat Pimpin', 5/5*****!!
