Calvin Bellamy, better known to hip-hop fans as Coo Coo Cal, lives up to his name (and album title) with a rapping style that borders on the unhinged. While Cal never loses control of his considerable linguistic abilities, he always sounds like he's teetering just on the edge of losing it and unleashing an onomatopoeic torrent of shouts, roars, and expletives. It's that very tension that enlivens DISTURBED. The subjects Cal addresses here (the ghetto, getting down and dirty with the opposite sex, casting a clear eye on street violence) may be overly familiar to fans of gangsta rap, but Cal's undeniably fresh delivery casts a new perspective on the whole thing. Koffee Brown, Twista, and others turn up in guest appearances, but the definitive focus of DISTURBED is the barely contained rapping style of Coo Coo Cal, who plainly knows how to walk the tightrope between craziness and control.
Vibe (11/01, p.152) - 3 discs out of 5 - "...A gumbo of Southern Bounce, crisp East Coast production, slow-rollin' West Coast grooves, and Midwestern rapid-fire flow..."d NME (10/20/01, p.40) - 7 out of 10 - "...Cal's decidedly distinctive verbal flow and kind of funk cloaks the album's maverick spirit with accessibility..."
