Superfast (album)


Superfast is an album by the rock band Dynamite Hack, released in 2000. It includes a cover of the 1987 song "Boyz-N-The-Hood" by rapper Eazy-E.

Production

The album was produced by David Eaton. A remixed version of the "Boyz-N-The-Hood" cover appears on the album, after Dr. Dre asked the band to remove certain words.

Critical reception

The Austin Chronicle called the album "supersheeny corporate punk." The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Call ‘em Blink-91—a cut-rate, half-price take on Blink-182’s melodic power-punk, minus the puerile wit and deceptively smart commentary." Texas Monthly deemed the album "the smartest power pop to break out of Texas in years." Style Weekly wrote that "bubble-gum punk, pseudo-rap, and watered-down 'alternative' rock are all present." The Morning Call considered it "slightly above-average pop-punk that plays with dynamics more than usual, though not enough to transcend the overdone and tired genre."
The Village Voice chose the band's cover of "Boyz-N-The-Hood" as the 46th worst song of the 2000s.
