Road Fools is the third album from Anybody Killa (ABK) while signed with Psychopathic Records. Unlike his previous albums, Road Fools is not full length and doesn't follow up very well to them either. In the previous releases, Hatchet Warrior and Dirty History, ABK mostly talks about himself and his native background. Road Fools is more like a random collaboration of various things loosely based on the idea of an artist on the road, hence the album title, Road Fools.
Road Fools is a simple idea that ended up being a simple album. I don't know if a short EP was the initial intension or if the project fell through and they decided to release it anyway, but whatever the reason, this album simply sucks. ABK puts up a decent effort by himself but with no one else to aide him along the way, the whole thing feels rather selfish and thus lacking. Shaggy 2 Dope from Insane Clown Posse does provide a quick intro on the last song but otherwise you won't find too many Psychopathic artists lingering around in the background.
Although there are seven total tracks, the intro is nothing more than a skit. As the name suggests, Road Fools is based on the idea of an artist on the road. And what better method of transportation than a pimped out RV? For whatever reason, these crazy whackos are supposedly driving around in a RV, burning out at green lights and doing donuts in the parking lot. It sounds crazy but is purely made up to give the album a funny spin on the road fools idea. Sadly, the skit is poorly done.
Feel This Way kicks off the actual album although this track is extremely disappointing. The soft, mellow drum line music puts you to sleep and the lyrics "why do I feel this way, someone help me, someone tell me" is repeated over and over for an excruciating four minutes. Not only is this the second longest song but also the worst way to kick off an album.
Way We Roll follows along a similar path to the previous song using the same sluggish, mellow beat that puts you to sleep. This time, however, ABK actually has something to say although what he says isn't all that special. The point of the song ties into the whole road fools idea, that ABK doesn't have time to stay in one place and likes to head back to the hotel for some hydro.
Are We There Yet keeps the road theme alive with some quick slangs about living in a RV while doing road tours. ABK has the "urge to rock a show everywhere he goes" and sitting in a RV apparently makes him bored while wide awake. Again, there's a few references to smoking but then again I guess there's not much else to do while watching telephone phone polls fly by the window.
All For You is a great ending to an otherwise worthless album. Shaggy 2 Dope kicks off the intro by telling the listeners that this track is dedicated to the juggalos. Mike E Clark also shows his talent with an array of beats, interludes and casual sound effects here and there. When producer and vocal artist get together with tracks like this, it makes you feel good. Too bad this one track is so overwhelmed by utter garbage on the rest of the album. The juggalo message is straight forward and apparent that ABK loves his fans. After this EP album, I don't think too many fans are following him anymore, especially since ABK is no longer part of the Psychopathic family. Lyrics: "See you at the instore tours and more. Or the mall while I’m buying dress shoes for court. Representin my family worldwide because we all stand together with pride".
Road Fools is one of those albums that doesn't provide much value. Not only does it upset the end consumer but it also makes the artist look bad. In this case it doesn't really matter because Road Fools was ironically enough, the final album from Anybody Killa while signed with Psychopathic Records. ABK has since moved onto other projects including Detroit Warriors as well as a few independent albums. He's rumored to have resigned with Psychopathic Records, but at this point I doubt anyone cares. Looking back on his career, the full length LP's weren't all that great and after Road Fools hit rock bottom I gave up altogether. Some hardcore juggalos may enjoy this short, seven track album but honestly it's not worth a rotation in my opinion.
