“Smooth” is a very well written and executed song. Overplayed to hell, but that’s not the song’s fault.
I remember this spawned the trend of taking has been acts and pairing them with hip modern acts. Run DMC had a pretty abysmal album with Fred Durst and Third Eye Blind sometime after. I don’t think DMC is even on the album since his voice is all fucked. No songs as good as Smooth on that one.

I found out recently this song was co-written by a guy who used to be in one of my favorite bands, Groove Collective.

In fact, they were rather powerless before their labour contract.

On a whim I put together a 90s Topical Songs playlist. a Few jokey/silly songs in there, but a lot of good stuff too.

I'd say about 90% of those songs are new to me. Listening now.

Hello,
I've always liked the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. I follow Michael Franti's stuff now but seldom listen.

Yeah, Franti just went a little too hippy a few years back. His early stuff and his first few Speahead albums are quite good tho. I'd have included Beatnigs but they were 80s.

Id say about 90% are good or great. Not Sublime though, that's in the 10%.

That was sort of a joke inclusion. I originally planned to have more stupid songs, but I quickly started including more good ones too

The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy were the most cutting edge thing to my 16 year old ears. Great record and well worth a spin. Their predecessor band, the Beatnigs, were pretty good too!

Agreed that one album is awesome.
