this is dee dee ramones first solo album.it was made a short while after he'd left da brudders ramone and for all the talk of it being a rap album i dont think it really is.ok yes there are a few 'rap' tunes on it but there is also that trademark ramone surf/punk influence in the writing and guitar playing.weve got songs here like 'commotion in the ocean' that could easily be a ramones tune and of course 'the crusher' which the ramones would record themselves.anyway also here is the 12" version of dee dees single 'funky man' which has an early 'beastie boys' or a def jam kind of a vibe going on.as im starting to babble now its over to you guys to listen,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

Mashed potato time is a great song by him. He recorded all the instruments, and didn't use samples, so thats probably why it sounds so much like the ramones.
i didnt know he played everything.er....stupid question then,but did he do the drums also?anyway i really like this album.cheers for the info dz!
no, i don't think he did. I just meant that the instruments were recorded live, not sampled. He probably had some guests. I don't think he did anything beyond maybe the guitar and bass, and obviously vocals.
I have this album on vinyl but thanks for the digital download. Now I can rock out to "Mashed Potato Time" on my ipod.
Thanks a lot for your effort.
Thanks a lot.
Not his best move but hindsight 20/20.Not to mention Lithium Thorazine Smack Coke Tuinals Weed and Bipolar.Big fan as he wrote almost all The Ramones songs.Tje best of em anyway.RIP Douglas Colvin.Johnny was an asshole-He loved Nixon and later bush....WTF.Most embarrassing member with his spins.Dee Dee and Joey were the Band.
