Inna Rub a Dub Style Numba 2 (DownSound, 1995)

It's hard to tell from either the title ("Rub a dub?"  Not quite.) or the packaging that about half of this album consists of hip-hop reggae, so be warned.  Also be warned that it kind of bites.  Of the hip-hop tracks, only Daily Bread's "We're All on Ninja's Ropes" shines, even though "Jahadweet" and "Armed With Dub" utilize the same slow, funky rhythm.  "Badness Is Madness" meanwhile has a nauseatingly weak rapper (not a DJ) who sounds like some sort of goofy public service announcement.  The reggae tracks are only slightly better.  Like the album's first 3 tracks, the second 3 also share the same music, except with a fairly generic dancehall beat instead of a hip-hop one.  Sanchez's two cuts are very similar, with "Moonlight Lover" adopting the great rhythm he used on his hit "I'm Missing You," but neither song is outstanding in an of itself.  Of the reggae tracks, only Lukie D's sultry lover's rock remake of Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love" makes an impression.
