This is west coast pimping at its finest. You can dip down the &#8216;shaw to it, you can cruise Sunset boulevard with it, you can even rock it in your headphones on the blue line. Just make sure you turn it up loud when you do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Yellow Album<\/strong> is full of summer time anthems. It&#8217;s for the honey dips and the players stacking their grips. It&#8217;s everything Take Care isn&#8217;t. While Drake tends to get on some corny simping shit at times, <strong>Dom<\/strong> got some true mac daddy soprano in him . A key ingredient in creating pimpadelic classics. He even got <strong>Too $hort<\/strong> to feature on the album. And whether you are maxing out at Venice Beach or the neighborhood BBQ, no backyard boogie will be complete this summer without playing something from this album.<\/p>\n<p>The production is solid throughout the entire project. It&#8217;s smooth as classic g-funk but with a digital twist for 2012. That keep things updated and crispy. It&#8217;ll definitely get you throwing your hands in the air if you grew up in the 90&#8217;s. <strong>Chase N Cashe<\/strong> produces the <strong>Kendrick Lamar<\/strong> assisted cut, <em>&#8220;We Ball&#8221;<\/em>. <strong>Polyester<\/strong> produces <em>&#8220;Hangin'&#8221;<\/em>, featuring <strong>Freddie Gibbs<\/strong>, who stays thuggin&#8217; while he&#8217;s &#8220;mobbin&#8217;, posted up, chillin&#8217;.&#8221; <strong>Troy Noka <\/strong>and <strong>DJ Dahi <\/strong>pour amaretto out your speakers while <strong>THC<\/strong>, <strong>DrewByrd<\/strong> and <strong>Fly Union<\/strong> all bring something potent to spike the punch when it comes to the beats on this project.<\/p>\n<p>Stand out cuts include <em>&#8220;Lately&#8221;<\/em>, <em>&#8220;My Type Of Party&#8221;<\/em>, and my personal favorite, <em>&#8220;Gold Alpinas&#8221;<\/em>, with <strong>Rick Ross<\/strong> barking some smooth player shit alongside <strong>Dom <\/strong>to keep all the girls stripping at the pool party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;in us, we trust<br \/>\nhoes down, g&#8217;s up<br \/>\nspend money, re up,<br \/>\nschool days, free lunch<br \/>\nnever quit, keep up<br \/>\ngotta hit the weed once<br \/>\nsky high, reach up<br \/>\nwe don&#8217;t like police much<br \/>\none nation, teach us<br \/>\ngod bless, peace up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dom Kennedy on &#8220;Lately&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some people might hate cuz they don&#8217;t see <strong>Dom Kennedy<\/strong> around <strong>Leimert Park<\/strong>.. being that the crown jewel of underground hip hop in LA.
