Gamers (1996)

EW's GRADE
C

Details Lead Performance: The Conscious Daughters; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Gamers, the sophomore disc from the East Bay female rap duo The Conscious Daughters is about as lyrically subtle as an Oliver Stone movie. The Daughters' lackluster old-school beats often enervate their sinewy vocals, and the relentless swearing and boasting nearly take the fun out of the funky in tracks like the loosey-goosey, Go-Brooklyn-style ''Who Got Da Mic.''
