Their bit hit off this album “The Gas Face,” on which they dissed some fallen rappers of the day and which featured KMD member Zevlove X, who later become the notorious MF Doom. There’s nothing like a big, dopey Jewish guy to get white hip-hop on track. You start in downtown Palm Springs and climb over 10,000 feet to the summit of Mt San Jacinto, with a large stretch on the treacherous Skyline Trail. 33.12 6 New from 33.09 2 Collectible from 45.00.

They’re clearly having a lot of fun on this album, and the lively production keeps things upbeat without getting cheesy and clownish. The Cactus Al/Bum (also known as The Cactus Cee/D and The Cactus Cas/Ette depending on release format) is the debut album by hip hop trio 3rd Bass, released on Def Jam Recordings on November 14, 1989. 3rd Bass's initial novelty was their pale skin color, but he Cactus Album showed that the only crutch Serch and Prime Minister Pete Nice relied on was the one propping up Nice's bum leg. Sure, they picked on easy targets like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice, but they goofed around and mixed in some more serious tales from the street (despite not necessarily being from there). Yeah, man, we’re hard! These guys didn’t go that route.
Where many white rappers failed was in their being too earnest (or too goofy). Do we remember these guys because they were good, or because they were white? I think the answer is a little bit of both.
