3rd Bass is long gone, but this album will be a keeper for years to come. Much like Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet," Derelicts is filled with layers of hooks and true street rap beats. It also lacks the filler of some albums of it's day. (Even the 30 second tracks are hilarious and keep their freshness over time) The hit from this album "Pop Goes the Weasel," is probably the albums weakest point, due to the novelty of it's subject. The real standouts in a standout album include "Portrait of the artist as a Hood," and "Green Eggs and Swine." If you're down with old school and you don't own this album, you don't know what old school is...
