Amazon.com Kottonmouth Kings are the one-issue voters of hip-hop, eloquently answering the question of just how many ways a single crew can rap the praises of marijuana. Their second album, High Society, is as redolent of smoke as the stoners' van in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Over jumping electro-funk-rock tracks, the Kings celebrate the possibility of legalization ("Peace Not Greed"), home gardening ("Good as Gold"), the munchies ("Here We Go Again"), and even hazily mislaying a smoke ("The Joint"). Uh, what were we talking about? --Rickey Wright Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsLove-Songs To Miss MaryJane Herself Radical Habits | WI | 12/26/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Kottonmouth King's first release without band-member Saint Vicious, an amazing album, an album which I might add help give the King's the first ever "Best Band Doobie Award" from High Times.High Society differs from the King's prior releases not only in the band's line-up, but in their attitude. They come out from the get-go here shouting off the ever present proclaimation of legalization and love of the herb, anarchist truths and political rhymes. They've toned down the ska/nupunk feel and tuned the bass up and let hardcore-punk and hip-hop catch your ear this round. And what they've produced it a heavy backbeat ridden record founded on cultured thoughts, ideas and beliefs... and of course a full line-up of toker-lovesongs to Miss MaryJane herself. Every track seems to be soaked heavy with sticky resin, flowing like mollasses, gettin caught up in your mind for hours after the music's stopped. There are a handful of appearances on this album, but the kings as always do it right. You won't find yourself in the middle of a track wonering who you're listening to because the band adapted the "featured" artist's style. Corporate Avenger, Sen-Dog (cypress hill), ICP, Kona, Grand Vanacular, Dog Bog (too rude), and other SubNoize family all lend their talents to this project.I could go on for ages about my favorite tracks (We The People; Good As Gold; Face Facts; Kings Blend) but I'd rather you listen to it yourself... you wont be disappointed.Don't mistake the King Klick as just another band of immature white boys, who like to get stoned and think they can rap... (and we all know there are a lot of those out there) because if you do you'll be doing YOURSELF an injustice." Kottonmouth Kings deliver a pure hit... Radical Habits | 07/03/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Those madcap Orange County rappers the Kottonmouth Kings are back with their latest release, "High Society". The Kings combine elements from several types of music with their free-flowing rhymes, most noticeably reggae and punk rock. One aspect of the Kottonmouth King's music which is unavoidable to discuss is, as their name and the title of this release implies, is their liberal use of marijuana. Practically every song is an ode to the herb (or a tirade against the government). Their views may alienate a large segment of the population, but then again, they may attract a larger following as well. If you can get past their pot smoking, the Kings are actually excellent rappers. Their rhetoric, whether meant to be or not, is just plain hilarious. It is most enjoyable when Brad Daddy X busts a rhyme, perhaps because his voice at times takes on a bizarre lilt that sounds as though he is insane, and the rhythmic interplay between X, Johnny Richter and D-Loc. locks in with the mesmeric turntable work of DJ Bobby B to create a perfect blend. The Kings also run with a talented, if somewhat disreputable, crowd. Guesting on the disc are those lovable fellows from the Insane Clown Posse; Sen Dog of Cypress Hill; Dog Boy (Too Rude), who provides the overall reggae flavor; and for the punk rock vibe, Jack Grisham of punk legends TSOL. Self-described as "slow and stony", the Kottonmouth Kings create a sonic landscape filled with spacy, funked-out beats balanced by hardcore rantings, yet the quandary remains if whether or not these guys should be taken seriously. They seem to be legitimate white-boy rappers, not the charlatans so prevalent today, but who else would have a song entitled "Peace Not Greed", about society's social ills, followed immediately by a track about the joys of winning the lottery ("The Lottery")?"
