LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND Keepers Of The Funk Vinyl 2 LPs 1994 Original First Pressing  Way back a long time ago (more like 1993), Lords Of The Underground released a dope album Here Come the Lords, which had dope singles such as "Psycho", "Funky Child", and their most recognizable song "Chief Rocka". Following that up with their 1994 album Keepers Of The Funk, you can expect the same production brought to you by K-Def and Marley Marl. People are going to hate me for saying this, but I actually like this one better than their previous (not saying this is better). The reason being is that this album comes so smoothly, as the trio toned down all the yelling and excitement like their preceeding album.
This time around there are only 13 tracks, to include an intro and an outro, making this album shorter than their first. The album starts with good "Ready Or Not" before the lead single "Tic Toc". "Keepers Of The Funk" has a suprise George Clinton apperance (I thought he hung out on the west coast back in the mid 90's). DJ Lord Jazz, who shined on "Lord Jazz Hit Me One Time," drops in for the solo track "Steam From The Knot" with is okay, but not great. The next track was the second single "What I'm After" which features a Redman sample from his song "Tonites The Nite" (he does make an awkward appearance on the music video). "Faith" is sort of like a sequel to "The Lords Prayer" from their previous album, but fails to match the origonal. The next track "No Pain" is actually a great one with vocals from Funkee Man and Sah B. "Fustrated" has a great hook, which some may dislike but I enyoy (What's going on?//I'm so FUSTRATED!) "Yes Y'all" and "What U See" are the last acutal tracks before the album closes off with an outro.
