It's sloppy and he can't sing to save his life. Yet, there is attitude and soul here. And, don't let the sloppiness fool you, there's a loose raw sound here that is not easy to approximate. Good stuff. My faves are not the ones that got the airplay like Cold Beverage. Check out tracks 1, 2, 3, 8, 9.
Out of defense for this album from the official review--this is G Love and the Special Sauce's best album. The songs got this raw unpolished simplicity, like a front porch jam session on a hot summer day. Check out G clearing a scratch from his throat during what is most likely a freestyle over a sketch of an old Guitar Slim tune "Things That I Used to Do". This album was the soundtrack to my high school summers--"Shooting Hoops" could probably be found somewhere in my personal genome. So maybe its nostalgic attachment, but I knew I thought it was a crime when I heard G Love singing multi-track harmonies with himself on Yeah It's That Easy. So just to put it out there, at the very least the album has something that the other G Love and the Special Sauce albums doesn't, and if like a RAW funky hip hop blues sound than check it out.
This is where it all started.. "Baby's Got Sauce" and "Cold Beverage" are standout's. Also dig the simpleness of "I Love You."
