It's tough to listen to the pop or hip hop radio airwaves and not hear 'Like a G6' right now. I will say, the beat is sick. The lyrics are pretty...umm, bad? Granted I haven't listened to it in and out - but part of it talks about drinking while driving. Or at least that's implied. I guess you can get away with that when you're saying you only care about the beats and not the lyrics. FEM began making music around the 2003 timeframe. They are a conglomerate of Asian American men that all represent a different background and culture. These guys have played some monstrous shows all over the world. They were invited to perform at the most prestigious Los Angeles hip hop show in 2009 - the Powerhouse show. That featured huge acts like Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas and many - MANY more. In terms of that, they're certainly on the map. Does their music live up to the play time nowadays? I personally don't think so. The reason I classify them as pop and not dance, is mainly because of their lyrical content. Many tracks the lyrics are the focal point over the beats. That doesn't happen on more than a track or two with your big dance acts. Plus, I just don't think this has the block rockin' beats that other dance albums have. I mean, G6 is right up there with the better ones I've heard this year, but that's one track out of 10. I think if you're a pop fan, check this out. If you're a beatnut - you might want to skip it not causing pure frustration that pop is no invading your genre too.
