MC Frontalot "Final Boss"

Written by: Brian Costello

Rating: 0 out of 10

Since the success of the Beastie Boys and Eminem, many Caucasian rap fans have tried their hands at rap/hip-hop in an attempt to match that level of success. Some have been moderately successful while others should be greatly forgotten. MC Frontalot (yes, that’s his real stage name) is way down on the ladder.

To put it plain and simple, MC Frontalot is the worst rapper I have ever heard and "Final Boss" is the worst album I have ever heard. I, myself, mostly listen to rap and have heard a lot of rappers, and naturally a lot of horrible ones, so for me to say Frontalot is the worst really says something. But then again, I’m not sure what I was expecting with a name like MC Frontalot.

Upon listening to the first song, “Wallflowers,” I already knew I was in for a ride I would greatly regret. The song instructs its listener to “do the Margaret Thatcher,” what ever that is, and from then on it only gets worse. I noticed on the track list that there were featured guests, so I thought, “Well, at least these guys might be good.” But oh no, I was seriously wrong. In fact, they might even be worse than Frontalot with lines like “It’s better on top like whip cream,” on
“Canadia” and “A Skit about Vocations” where an interview literally raps about sea food.

Listening to this album, I wasn’t sure if this guy was serious or if it was just an act ala “Weird Al” Yankovic. So I visited his Myspace page, and I still have no idea. All I know is that it better be an act, because if his is a serious act, then I feel ashamed as a listener. But even if it is just a joke, it’s not a funny one.

As a typical listener, the album is a painful experience, but as a fan of rap/hip-hop, it is an even more painful experience. The album is an embarrassment. Do yourself a favor and stay away from it as possible. However, by reading this review, you have already acknowledged its existence.
