Though many things have been said about this musical genius, certain things will not be mentioned in this article. There will be no mention of his former groups or members thereof. DJ Yella, this onez fa you. Yella is a gangsta rap pioneer who has played the background his entire career. He has been DJ, producer, and occasionally spoken-word artist, doing an excellent job at all of them. His cuts are some of the freshest ever squeezed out of vinyl plates. Unlike other "DJs" who can only program drum beats, Yella has been a true asset to every project he has been involved in. Yella was the opposite of the "braggadocios rapper" image. He is one of the few artists who perform for love of the music. While most 90's rappers fought amongst themselves for an inch of the spotlight, Yella stayed sensibly in the comfort zone, working hard and enjoying the ride. Because of his reclusiveness, little is known about the man once dubbed "The Beats Master" by Komrade B. Although Yella has been referred to by certain fan-bases as the Ringo of his former group, he is the only one who was never dissed during the 90's L.A. rap wars. Note that Yella was in the center of this battle, but was more civilized than to bicker with his former band members. One thing no fan can dispute is that the name Antoine "Yella" Carraby is a true mark of quality on an LP. I have never heard an album, a song, even a note that did not please my ears when Yella had something to do with it. Yella is a class act, and everything he touches turns to gold. Except of course for his solo album, "One Mo Nigga 2 Go", which was a record store bomb. This is not a rap album. It is not what fans were expecting or wanting, but I think it is still an interesting album and is one that should be added to the collection of any true Yella fan. The proceeds from sales apparently go to a good cause. For Tha E. Man, that's one painful song to listen to. Is it rap, singing, both, or neither? One thing that can be said is that it is garbage. It was obviously written with good intentions, but it sounds horrible. Actually, most of the solo album is pretty creaky, but there are a few brief moments of gold. I'm sorry Yella, I had to tell it like it was. Yella having sex. If that sentence disturbed you, skip song 18. So I figured that I'd get the "For Tha E" single. Yep, five mixes of For Tha E. If you play tracks 5 and 4 at the same time something cool happens, but I'm not allowed to reveal exactly what that is. Anyway, maybe Yella can't write a song like some of his allies could, but he's still the best DJ and true Communist south of Massey.
