	Devin the Dude - Biography - AOL Music
		Devin Copeland aka Devin the Dude was born in St. Petersburg, FL, and later moved to Texas while in the fourth grade.
		The Dude was a smoothed-out, funk-laden album and an ode to wine, women, and weed.
		He contacted Devin in 1999 and asked him to be a part of the 2001 album on the track "Fuck You." This single appearance made Devin a hot commodity, earning him appearances on songs with De La Soul, Raphael Saadiq, veteran rap group UGK, and a solo track on the Oz soundtrack.

	DEVIN THE DUDE INTERVIEW - 2002
		His debut LP entitled The Dude is filled with witty lyrics form clever narratives that contain a mixture of mature humor and folkloric perched atop a smooth blend of Southern Soul, Texas funk and a haping helping of blues and hip hop.
		Devin: Yeah, man we'd take the poppin' and rappin' off the streets and bring it into the schools and colleges and bring it to the clubs that had talent shows.
		Devin: Well, we had (pauses and laughs).....well actually the first pick of the album cover was a picture the we did of me, Rob and Jug holding up a big fat joint.

	Devin The Dude - To Tha X-Treme - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Devin’s singsong delivery is the key to this album’s success; his voice is musical and floats sublimely over the beat, riding gently above the groove.
		Lyrically, Devin fits right in with the idiosyncratic and lighthearted rapping of an MC like De La Soul’s Posdnous, although Devin’s music is more rooted in his own day-to-day experiences—relationships, hanging out with friends, and, in particular, smoking weed.
		Devin’s inspired moments are numerous; in particular, his languorous take on the parable of Brier Rabbit, “The Briar Patch”, which certainly sounds as if it was conceived in a cloud of weed smoke.

	The Guide -- Devin the Dude Is ‘Just Tryin’ Ta Live’
		Devin the Dude, a Houston native, is one of those artists who, after months on “F — You” off of Dr. Dre’s 2001 LP, never made it onto the mainstream of hip-hop’s radar.
		Luckily, Devin then returns to his usual laid-back sound on the aptly titled “R&B.” Set as a debate between a redneck and Devin, with Devin playing both parts, “R&B” has little to do with rhythm and blues, but instead with the chorus, which has Devin singing “reefer and beer” in a soft voice.
		But the greatness of Devin’s latest effort is not in his continual use of sexual and alcoholic subject matter, but in the chances he takes by moving toward different, more innovative topics.

		Devin Copeland, better known as Devin the Dude, definitely knew the repercussions of listening to a Richard record, so he always had a Plan B in case his mother walked in the room.
		Though Devin is growing towards producing more “serious” music, it has been his carefree nature that has lauded him a rare respect from fellow artists that has led to coveted cameo appearances on projects by Scarface, Dr. Dre, The Roots, De La Soul and even the ill-fated Jay-Z/R. Kelly Best of Both Worlds album.
		Devin’s popularity among his peers has also caused many out-of-the-loop music listeners to ask: “What record label is he on?” The answer is Rap-A-Lot, the legendary Houston-based record label that is responsible for iconoclastic acts such as the Geto Boys.

	Devin The Dude: To Tha X-Treme - The Boston Globe
		But though Devin the Dude's third album, "To Tha X-Treme," probably won't get much attention, it may go down in hip-hop history as the most underappreciated album of 2004.
		Yet Devin ruminates on it with such revelry and bleary-eyed idolatry that you quickly find yourself feeling, shall we say, warm and fuzzy-headed along with him.
		Devin's attitude and aesthetic, by contrast, is more Bay Area than Miami booty shake.

	devin Mp3 Albums Review
		Devin Townsend's vocals range from very smooth to almost harsh growls, although the latter is kept to a minimum, since the songs really don't need any aggressive vocal harmonies.
		Devin is at the top of his form vocally, and there is some really memorable drumming, riffs and lyrics (which do have a meaning, but not on the surface).
		Devin is perfect with that kind of groove, and he spends most of his time kicking verses about smoking out and chasing women.

		Unlike most, Devin is content with not seeking the limelight (otherwise he would've had it locked on him since he first burst on the scene).
		But Devin the Dude serves as a classic example of how most good music lies underneath all the rage and hoop-la of the mainstream.
		Devin the Dude though, continues to defy the trends and has quietly become a major force in Houston without the help of any mainstream noise or major label politics.

		Devin brings more to the table this time- including lots of songs (17 tracks) a more extensive resume and even better production that the previous album.
		Devin makes relaxing, thought provoking music and something all of us needs and can relate to, but Devin delivers it in a special way.
		Devin may be the Nate Dogg of the south, but he no doubt makes better releases than most and "To tha X-treme" is a grand album full of great music and grease slick lyrics.

		Devin the Dude: My immediate reaction was, "Richard Pryor is dead," it wasn?t even a fact.
		Devin the Dude: A lot of artists have a lot of success, make their fortune, and get the attention of the media only to be let down towards the end of their career - there was nothing like that with him.
		Devin the Dude: I mean, there is one time of his career which I remember really well but it was not necessarily the Richard Pryor I know: It was when I snuck in the movie to see The Toy.

	Devin the Dude :: Just Tryin' Ta Live :: Rap-A-Lot Records
		If you drew a circle around the elite rappers of Houston, Devin the Dude would be standing right in the middle.
		Although "dude" is a word that historically meant a city slicker who was a square in the wild West, most people today associate it with laid back California surfers who smoke fat bongs in teen movies.
		"Dude" therefore not only became a ubiquitous word for a friend, but implied a sort of laid back and surreal coolness at odds with life's rushed pace.

		Devin the Dude: I think it’s important to come up with some type of style; each artist should have their specific style that people can relate to.
		Devin the Dude: That might be possible; there may be another Oddsquad album before the next solo album.

	MTV News - Dre, Scarface, Nas, Xzibit Know Devin Is The Dude
		The follow-up to 1998's The Dude contains some of the playful humor that made its predecessor an underground favorite among hip-hop's elite, but it is a decidedly more mature affair, as Devin's wildly devious exploits with women, the bathroom and drugs have been toned down.
		Devin further explores relationships with friends, family and significant others on "Tough Love" and "WXYZ," while his satirical humor and keen meditations on life surface on the bluesy "Doobie Ashtray," which was produced by DJ Premier.
		Even as Devin digs into some of life's disappointing moments, he still injects his work with the type of humor that marked the work of such 1980s hip-hop acts as Biz Markie, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince and Cash Money & Marvelous.

		"The Dude" is sadly a very under-rated and overlooked album, however it happens to be one of the best records out there.
		Devin's smooth, chilled out flows over the hella relaxed beat makes for great music to smoke to.
