This is Michael Mixerr. I review NFTP - Scandalas. Scandalas was released on Cut Foul Records, City Hall, and INDI. NFTP is Niggaz From The Park from Sarvis Park on the West Side of Flint, Michigan. Sarvis Park was a hood not to be fucked with back then as Dayton Avenue was. NFTP made it very clear they did not like snitches. Think gangsta rap meets old school hip hop with this album.
The Lurk is about Roc's life of street hustling and dope smuggling. Roc would rather roam the streets and sell drugs than to prefer being in school and getting an education to better himself so he can become a contributing member of society. The song shows us no solution to end the problems of the United States drug epidemic.
Mackee has a raspy distorted voice on Behind The Mac. I love the heavy bass and drum beats on Behind The Mac. Mackee made it clear he did not like Slobs (Bloods or in this case Flint Bloodstone) because he was a Crip. Big Dane a Crip too. It's a straight gangsta song.
One thing is for sure! NFTP made it very clear they did not like snitches. That was what the song Uah Snitch was all about. It's too bad NFTP didn't make 4 more albums after this one. A lot of rap groups from Flint only dropped one or two albums for some reason. NFTP lyrics were def not wack unlike them Took-N-Bone. While FOD was the rawest rap group from Flint, The Dayton Family was the most gangsta, and DOA the hardest; NFTP was the most gutta!
I rate this album, Scandalas, 5/5*****!
