Can You Feel Me is a revelation, proving that
Dru Down has rhyming skills far superior to most of his West Coast gangsta rap brethren. While the music isn't stylistically different from G-funk, it is catchier and more memorable than many sub-
Dre productions. More importantly,
Dru Down is a terrific rapper, capable of laconic phrasing like
Snoop Dogg or wild, freestyle stream-of-consciousness bursts of energy. Combined with the first-rate music, the lyrical skills make
Can You Feel Me one of the finest hip-hop records of 1996. ~ Leo Stanley
