Devin the Dude's cool stroll through the land of hip-hop continues on
One for the Road, the rapper's eighth studio album and eighth album about smoking weed. His fans' mellow is far from harshed though, as bud smokers' delights like "I'm Just Getting Blowed" and "Herb the Nation" still have that hazy, crazy appeal. Numbers like "We Don't Smoke No Cheese" buck the trend, offering anti-crack lyrics, although "smoke weed instead" is the offered alternative.
Devin handles the production himself on the slow-shuffling "I Hope We Don't Get Too Drunk," while worthy names like the Bizness, DJ Domo, and Rob Quest handle the rest. ~ David Jeffries
