Tyrone "Tomahawk Funk" Pachenco, born on the Manderson Reservation in South Dakota and raised in Los Angeles, recently left the manic rap trio to help his wife raise their infant son.
Despite Tomahawk Funk's absence, Funkdoobiest picks up its brand of slicing, dicing Latin-flavored hip-hop where it left off in 1995 with "Brothas Doobie" and their 1993 gold-selling debut album "Which Doobie U B?"
All the changes - Tomahawk Funk's departure and Funkdoobiest's move to a new label (from Immortal/Epic to Buzztone/RCA) - and three years between albums would demoralize most bands, but Sondoobie said the exact opposite happened.
Protégés of Cypress Hill superproducer DJ Muggs, Funkdoobiest -- as their name made clear -- specialized in a stoner-friendly brand of Latin hip-hop that often recalled their mentors.
The group was formed in Los Angeles in 1992 by Puerto Rican MC Son Doobie (born Jason Vasquez), Sioux MC Tomahawk...
Funkdoobiest reconvened as a duo, switched to RCA subsidiary Buzz Tone, and recorded their third album, 1998's The Troubleshooters, without Muggs behind the boards.

Why We Like 'Em Kind of a less serious Cypress Hill, Funkdoobiest were able to turn out stoned grooves and animated lyrics with the best of them.
One part House of Pain and another a type of pre-Eminem, Son Doobie, DJ Ralph M, and Tomahawk Funk have been a consistent staple in the Latin hip-hop world as a consistent supplier of party songs and majiuana funk, though none of their material is lazy or hastily assembled.

Funkdoobiest's third CD hits the streets like a souped-up Cadillac, fueled by bits of almost every rap influence: the spunky smooth musicality of hip-hop; the crusty, vinyl-scratching sounds of the old school; the Snoop Dog bugged-out spookiness of gangsta rap; and some full-bodied Latino spice blended in with a touch of lovely-lady RandB harmonies.
The Squirrel Nut Zippers loop on the first track, "Papi Chulo," and the refreshing salsa rhythms aren't enough to make it interesting.
Funkdoobiest fare best when they abandon ominous minor keys and experiment with sound.

Even with the capable beats supplied by DJ Muggs on their first album, they remained castaways on Ho- Hum Island because there was nothing exceptional about them.
Mind you, Funkdoobiest aren't bad -- they just don't provoke powerful feelings one way or another.
I was ready to eat my opinions upon hearing the first song on The Troubleshooters, "Papi Chulo." This song samples some of the same '60s Latin records that Pizzicato Five and Beck are fond of raiding, but Funkdoobiest do it in a much less self-conscious way.

Funkdoobiest's debut album, Which Doobie U B?, sounds a lot like their mentors in Cypress Hill -- a lot.
Not only is DJ Muggs' production very similar, but lead MC Son Doobie's flow often resembles a more robotic version of B Real (that's a compliment, by the way).
The long awaited paig for all the hip-hop-hedz that like that old Soul Assassins shit from back in the daze, when the SA-family consisted of the Hill, the House and Funkdoobiest!
For all the ones that love that House Of Pain stuff and who want to keep the old shit alive!

It all started off back in the days when Cypress Hill, House of Pain and Funkdoobiest burst out on the scene.
