Brian Green - One Stop Carnival(1996)
This album is the byproduct of self-unawareness, A&R incompetence, and a healthy lack of talent. Only Kevin Federline's opus outmatches this album in notoriety and sheer awfulness. On the poignant "1-2-Threez" (someone needs to consult the AP Stylebook on that), Green drops lines such as "I know youre feeling freaky, so get up and shake your twinkies." Not even the Ying Yang Twinz could get away with a line like that. On "Extacy", Green explains that "I'm down to grab a girl backstage and toss her, but if that shit don't happen, then i'm down to play the source and self-ejaculation." Ummm...what?

Perhaps serving as an indicator of future things to come, will.i.am makes an appearance on Extacy and on "That's Right" with fellow Black Eyed Pea apl.de.ap. Also listed in the production and writing credits are Tre Hardison and Daniel Dumile, who you may know as MF Doom. The Tre Hardson appearance (as a writer, im guessing) makes sense, because the album sounds like Taiwanese knock off of The Pharcyde sound, both in lyrics and production. His appearance on the Real World: Hawaii and his solo album both show that Tre is an attention whore who does not make good music on his own. What confuses me most is how Green managed to land a beat from Doom, the then obscure Zev Luv X, is beyond me. Though the beat is nothing special, having the foresight and knowledge necessary to get beats from someone like Doom before he became a hot commodity doesn't help to explain how this album turned out so bad. But it's obvious that the bad album sales are because his 90210 fans were looking for an album by Brian Austin Green.
