As was mentioned in my prior post, because of some technical difficulties I don't have access to any new material that I was planning on posting except for what's already on my computer so I've decided to continue with the Party theme. Here are three tracks from albums that all have something to do with Party (I just did an iTunes search for any albums that have the word Party in the title).

Dirty Dozen (Two by Four from Watts) is from the Rudy Ray Moore album House Party and features Tut and Two, two blue comedians cappin, cracking, woofin on and playing the dozens in the Rudy Ray Moore style of rhyming their way through a story. This, and most of Rudy Ray Moore's albums are literally party albums, meant for playing during parties and recorded to sound like they were being performed at a party so next time you have a bat mitzvah, birthday party, family gathering or you're just getting together with some friends to smoke or drink up don't forget to play some Rudy Ray Moore albums to keep the party going.

The second track is from the classic album Where's The Party At by Cash Money and Marvelous, probably most famous for the song All The Ugly People Be Quiet. Admittedly I never really got into the album when it was first released but listening to it now and I wonder what the hell I was thinking back then. Filled with Cash Money's dope cuts (he's credited along with Spinbad for creating the Transformer scratch) and Marv's double words/ words double style of rhyming this song screams old school but don't hold that against it.

The song Droge CX 9 is from the break-tastic album Vampyros Lesbos: Sexadellic Dance Party which was just rereleased with some bonus trakcs. Taken from the soundtrack of a 1970 softy featuring Lesbian Vampires (does that make me bilingual?) the soundtrack is an enjoyable piece of electro kitsch and at times sounds a little bit too ambitious for what it's trying to accompany. This track, Droge CX 9, is indicative of the album and is playful and catchy enough to fend off most criticism of it (allmusic.com labels it as an album that can be used to drive roaches away) but you can decide for yourself.
