From 1990 Album: "Brown & Proud"...[Artist info below].....

Get LSOB's Music:

Part of the early-'90s explosion of Latin rap, Lighter Shade of Brown (LSOB) was formed in Riverside, CA, in 1990, when the teenage ODM (One Dope Mexican, born Robert Gutierrez) was introduced to DTTX (Don't Try to Xerox, born Bobby Ramirez). The duo began cutting demos and secured a record deal within the year; they debuted with 1990's Brown and Proud for Quality Records hip-hop subsidiary Pump. Though they didn't break out on the level of Cypress Hill, the group garnered some positive reviews and established themselves as one of the better Latin rap outfits around. The follow-up, Hip Hop Locos, was released in 1992, and helped LSOB land a major-label shot with Mercury, where they contributed to the soundtracks of the Latino-oriented films Mi Vida Loca and I Like It Like That. 1994's full-length Layin' in the Cut proved disappointing, however, and the disillusioned partners took a temporary break from the music business. They returned in 1997 on Oakland's much smaller Thump Records (in partnership with the Greenside label), issuing a self-titled album with guests including Rappin' 4-Tay and Tony! Toni! Toné!'s Dwayne Wiggins. Thump released a greatest-hits collection in 1999, and their fifth album, If You Could See Inside Me, followed, producing a minor hit single in "Sunny Day." In late 1999, Gutierrez became a radio DJ in the Los Angeles area.

I’m 42 and I still think 90’s music is the best. It’s sad that most of the people I loved listening to are dead.

As a black woman that speaks Spanish I always joke and say I'm the morena singing the chorus 💕💕

I'm 52 and still love hearing this song. It's a classic. Brings back good memories of my youth. Hanging with friends, when friends just hung out, no bs, just bar bbq, some beers and a boom box jamming songs like this.

Make America the 90s again seriously. This track hits my soul it almost brings tears to my eyes thinking how spoiled we were musically back then. It's almost 2020 and this still gives me goosebumps.

This song came out in 1990 and it sound just as great 33 years later than it did 33 years ago. The west coast stations such as K Day, Wild 107, 106 KMEL played the hell out of this song. It was a very big song back then.


I just found out Bobby passed away back in 2016. 2016 was the worst year for deaths I can remember. My mom passed away in 2016 as well. RIP Bobby, you were a very dope rapper and MC.

I got mad respect for Chicanos and their culture. They worked hard to be valuable members of society (even when everyone was shaming them and used them as scapegoats) and make art out of their passion (the lowrider culture and Chicano rap genre)..
