The Techni-Crew – Danger Island is one of the most overlooked and overshadowed rap albums to ever come out of the city of Sacramento, California. The Techni-Crew – Danger Island is one of the most overlooked and overshadowed Sacramento rap albums from 1992.
The Techni-Crew went back to the roots with no gimmicks on this album. There are no sounds of commercialization. If you were expecting commercial, then you are sorely mistaken. This album is filled with straight rap lyrics which have real meaning. The Techni-Crew always comes with some good hip hop/rap music. DJ I-Knight produced the album.
I’m Suicidal deals with the touchy subject of suicide. The song serves as an anti-suicide song telling others not to kill themselves. Suicide is not the way out.
These lyrics below were the most powerful lyrics on I’m Suicidal. The show that you really want to strive in this world but at the same token you are suicidal. You want to commit suicidal. You’re in denial about a lot of things. “Because you want to stay in this world and strive/But I’ll see you on the other side/I’m suicidal”
These lyrics show that people have contemplated committing suicide.
“Suicide, it sounds right at this time/I want to end it all because I’m losing my mind/Is it because I’m upset, ‘cause I’m so confused/One minute I feel good, the next I’m singing the blues/Not once in a blue moon, it happens everyday/I say over and over/It shouldn’t be this way/Act like a man or baby and die/Just let me be me, and please let me die”
The message is at the end of the song. “This is the end/I wish I hadn’t done it/But I guess I gotta pay for it/I’m suicidal” Suicide is not the way out. It’s not right to commit suicide.
Enter 916 (Remix) appeared on the cassette single of BMW – Enter 916 released the same year. The song is an anthem dedicated to the city of Sacramento, California. Sac-Town’s in the house! Sactown Rap All-Stars make an appearance on the song. The whole song relies on the funky sample of Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce.
A man tells, “You have entered the Valley. The Big Valley better known as Sac-Town.” Sacramento is not the Bay Area for those who keep getting the location confused. Sacramento is in the Sacramento Valley.
An announcer over the radio says, “Battle of the new jams. Enter 916 by the Sactown Rap All-Stars going against the latest from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Give it away.” The announcer over the radio that Sactown Rap All-Stars are the winners.
Enter in the 916 because BMW made up the dope mix. He kicks something funky to make you realize that Sac is coming out with more rappers. You didn’t know this was coming. Listen to the guitar strumming. A funky horn and hip hop beats. The new sound is Sac-Town Funk.
Ready or not. The moment has arrived. It seems that the whole world has been deprived of the talent coming out of the 916. Music ignites the power of people. This includes the dumb and blind. The beat is so funky. Notice the usage of old school funk. You can’t escape the rhymes and rhythm. The rhymes are very powerful.
Action Packed is filled action packed rap lyrics with no commercialization. There are no gimmicks on this song. Techni-Crew is getting hype with nothing to hold back. Peep game. Action Packed was included on one of the first few rap maxi-singles from Sacramento that was released on vinyl. The song was recorded in 1990 and appeared on The Techni-Crew – We The People EP.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
