"Ok, so this isn't everybody's style. All I can say is- listen to the previews- if you like it, you'll love the cd. If you don't like the previews, don't expect to hear anything different on the album. I LOVE this cd- these sexy babes are young and mouthy. The producers have mixed styles and sounds in a way that is playful and professional- no one is taking this too seriously (cameltoe) but these guys do know what they are doing. Check it out!"
Ridiculous. Awesome.

"I rarely delve into the "dance" section of the record store, but Fannypack gave a me good reason to change my ways. With thumping bass, sparce sampling, and screetchy, sophomoric lyrics, this all girl rap trio takes me back to the late 80s when 2 Live Crew and "Push It" era Salt 'N Pepa rocked the airwaves. While songs like Cameltoe ("she had a frontal wedgie -- a cameltoe") are so absurd they seem like Saturday Night Live material, the group's jump rope rapping style is so infectious that the music bears repeated listening. Of the Amazon samples, "Hey Mami" and "Cameltoe" represent the best Fannypack has to offer. If you enjoy those songs and don't find "Do It to It" too frenetic, you'll probably want this album for your next house party."
Bringin' it back full circle

"This album brings back the lyrics and beats that used to make rap music fun. Every song keeps you on your toes, starting out in one direction and sometimes making a 180 degree turn into another entirely original creation. Its not often to hear something today where _every_ track is worth listening to. From the synth beats of the title track, to the thumps of Hey Mami, "So Stylistic" is the hottest thing this summer."
Great fun......Thats all...just fun!

"If you were born in the 80's , you will 'get' this album. THe funny thing is, I am not sure if the singers themselves are old enough to get it at all. Nevertheless, it brings back fond memories of old NY rap and funk. It is a borderline comedy album as well....not intentionally I am sure!"
