Devin The Dude: Waitin' To Inhale

Cult hero Devin The Dude could probably get away with naming each of his albums More Songs About Weed And Girls. Devin's lyrical concerns seldom venture beyond his oft-noted desire to fuck, drink beer, and smoke some shit, but on Waitin' To Inhale, he continues to explore infinite brilliant variations on stale subject matter. Who else would try to seduce a reluctant partner with a vow that his genitalia is so fresh and clean it could safely be boiled with collard greens and then served on a plate alongside lima beans? Who else would deliver that boast with a trembling sincerity that suggests that he'd be deeply hurt to learn that his erection isn't generally considered one of the four major food groups? And just when it seems Devin has run out of ways to express his enthusiasm for nature's healing leaf, he trots out his hillbilly alter ego, slips into a country-and-western drawl, and croons the no-rolling-paper country-rap-blues on "Nothin' To Roll With."
