Release notes
In the Mid-Nite Hour is Warren G's first foray into the
land of independent releases and, consequently, marks a
huge shift in approach from the
too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen approach that had sunk
his final album for Universal, The Return of the
Regulator. This album is 100 percent Warren G, make no
mistake, and its D.I.Y. feel seems fitting for the sort
of guy who produces his own beats as well as raps his
own songs. Granted, In the Mid-Nite Hour isn't going to
re-establish Warren as the hit-maker that he was for a
quick second back in the G-funk era when "Regulate" was
the jam. It's simply too real to get picked up by urban
radio or music television -- that is, real like that
beat-head dude living down your street who makes
mixtapes in his bedroom and hands CD-Rs of them out to
friends as well as complete strangers. For that reason,
In the Mid-Nite Hour isn't going to interest the
majority of rap listeners. (Lil Jon doesn't produce
anything, for one, and Ludacris doesn't guest.) Sadly,
Warren lost his coolness a long time ago. But for
older, more grown-up rap listeners who fondly remember
when "Regulate" was the jam (and how about "Hey DJ"?),
In the Mid-Nite Hour no doubt will be a curious listen.
From the bedroom beat-making and Everyman rapping, to
the home-PC graphic design and semi-professional photo
shoots gracing the inner booklet, this album is street,
so to speak, and that makes it very easy for most folks
to empathize with Warren. He's no bling-blinger anymore
-- he's just another dude at this point, albeit one
with tight friends like Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg, who
both contribute heavily and bring some major-league
charisma to this minor-league charmer. Perhaps Warren
should have went indie long ago. The pay probably isn't
as nice, but he and his music seem better for it.
