It may not have completely integrated rap, but it was a precursor to a culture that became more inclusive and widespread after its arrival. And like the Beastie Boys and De La Soul, they get their samples from a variety of sources (Blood Sweat & Tears, Gary Wright, Doors, Emotions, etc). MC Serch & Pete Nice are very underrated rappers in both their lyrics and their delivery. The Cactus Album was also important because it proved to the hip-hop heads that white kids could play along without appropriating or bastardizing the culture. The Cactus Album is a hip-hop classic that doesnt get the recognition it deserves.

Not every single idea plays out successfully - Serch's Tom Waits impression on 'Flippin' Off the Wall.' is on the wrong side of the taste line, and 'Desert Boots' is a puzzling Western-themed insertion - but they are at least interesting stretches that add to the dense, layered texture of the album. The duo may not have come from the streets, but their hearts were there, and it shows.

Matching MC Serch's bombastic, goofy good nature and Prime Minister Pete Nice's gritty, English-trained wordsmithery (sounding like a young Don in training), 3rd Bass' debut album is revelatory in its way.
