This is the sophomore effort from Detroit, Michigan producer/emcee Foul Mouth. Coming up as 1/2 of Da Bash Brothaz with the late PHD & 1/3 of JFK with Jake Knew & King Juke, he would also form the duos Bad News Brown & Speak of the Devil with Ketch P & DJ Skyrah respectively after starting his own label Middle Finger Music & producing albums for the likes of Fatt Father & Isaac Castor to name a couple. His most notable work has been with Bizarre of prior D12 fame whether it be his work with King Gordy as L.A.R.S. or the He Got a Gun series & the final moments of “Antichrist” off Eminem’s 13th album THE DƎATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE), coming off his solo debut Everybody Goes Crazy Once to drop a sequel.
The self-produced “Everybody Does Intros Twice” spends the first minute & a half of the album with a boom bap intro referencing WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson whereas “Take Cover (Bombs Away 2)” eerily suggests for everyone to run before the explosives get set off. “The Bed of a Steady Water” comes through with a 2-parter Blizzard co-produced talking being a veteran who’s lyrically above the rest prior to “Nooks & Crannies” explaining that hip hop chose him instead of the other way around.
Bub Rock & J-Classic both appear during “Alabama Jam” to talk about keeping their names out ya mouth unless you’re earning their checks while “Welcome 2 the Jungle” featuring Isaac Castor finds the pair instrumentally going for a rap rock vibe so they can suggest every competitor of theirs to stay in line. “Dime Bag Daryl Strawberry” featuring Choke Uno talks about selling dwarf seeds to raise a baby who won’t get big while “Where’s My Lunch Lady” demands for any stupid questions to be asked right on the spot.
“Glamour & Glitz” featuring Tony Cone jazzily talks about feeling decent staring at their rearview mirrors while “Big Foul” observes how funny it is shit changes over a crooning sample. “Stock Exchange” featuring Kain Cole links up so they can throw shots at bums who don’t have a plan & once “2064” takes us nearly 4 decades into the future, the title track references the late WWE Hall of Famer, former WWE United States Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion & WCW World Tag Team Champion Rick Rude.
There aren’t as many punchlines on Everybody Goes Crazy Twice… because Foul Mouth understandably attempts to fill in the space a lot differently than he did when Everybody Goes Crazy Once came out nearly 365 days earlier, but he still finds ways to maintain the wild humor listeners got to familiars themselves with on that debut & use rhyme schemes that’re more well-put together for another dosage of his reality based late night fiascos from a cloud 9 point of view.
Score: 4/5
