This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review Murder City Mob - The Criminal Type.
This album was released on Darkside Records. The same label Dead On Arrival was on. MCM is from Flint, Michigan. MCM is Murder City Mob. The Criminal Type album was released in 1992 on cassette only as most albums and EPs were at that time.
MCM comes ruff and rugged on Loud And Foul which is more of a freestyle track. It’s all foul play on Loud And Foul. Loud And Foul was a track strictly for the streets only and not for the radio for radioplay. The group called MCM is considered to be “loud and foul” by police and local law enforcement along with citizens of Flint which is why the track is appropriately titled.
Gangsta Jackin' samples of Ice Cube - Jackin' 4 Beats. Gangsta Jackin' was strictly for the streets only. It's too hard for radioplay. Gangsta Jackin’ is a straight up gangsta rap track! The gangsta rap samples hit harder than a kick drum!
MCM comes ruff and rugged on Criminal Type. Criminal Type is gangsta rap meets early hip-hop type of track. MCM describes their actions and activities through criminal behavior. It described on the album that MCM is the criminal type.
The first side of the cassette should have been the Explicit side and the second side should have been the Clean side. MCM did release a self-titled EP after that they vanished as all the other Flint rap groups back then did. Other than that this cassette is very short as typical Flint cassette tapes were in those days.
I rate this album, The Criminal Type, 4/5****.
