M Smooth - In the D Pimp Shit

Review by Ze Firdauzia

Album Review: In the D Pimp Shit by M Smooth (1992) Alright, let’s talk about In the D Pimp Shit, a hidden gem from '92 that’s straight-up Hip Hop with no frills. Released independently under "Not on Label," this project feels like a raw, unfiltered peek into M Smooth's vibe. It’s not perfect, but man, it’s got character—and sometimes that’s all you need. The album kicks off with two versions of “In The ‘D’,” one instrumental and one vocal. Honestly? I keep coming back to the vocal version. There’s something so smooth (pun intended) about how M Smooth lays down his flow over that beat. It’s laid-back yet sharp, like he’s just chilling in the studio, spitting bars without breaking a sweat. The bassline hits hard enough to make your speakers thump, but it’s not overwhelming—you can still hear every word he says. And trust me, those words stick. He talks about life, hustlin’, and Detroit pride, which gives it an authentic feel. You know when someone sounds like they’re rapping from experience? Yeah, that’s this track right here. Then there’s “Pimp Shit (Vocal),” which is exactly what it sounds like—swagger turned up to 11. This one stood out because of its confidence. M Smooth doesn’t hold back; he’s owning the persona, talking slick while keeping it real. The production has this gritty edge to it, almost like it was recorded late at night after everyone else went home. That rawness makes it memorable. Plus, the instrumental version lets you focus on the beat itself, which is kinda hypnotic if you let it loop for a bit. What I love most about this album is how unapologetically DIY it feels. Back in '92, before streaming and social media took over, artists like M Smooth were putting out music just because they had something to say. No big label pushing them, no fancy marketing campaigns—just pure creativity. Listening to In the D Pimp Shit feels like finding an old mixtape in your uncle’s basement. It might be dusty, but once you hit play, you realize it’s gold. Random thought: If this album dropped today, people would probably call it “lo-fi hip hop” and use it as background music for studying or gaming. Funny how times change, huh? So yeah, give In the D Pimp Shit a listen if you’re into underground vibes and don’t mind tracks that sound like they were made in someone’s garage. Just don’t expect perfection—expect personality. And honestly, isn’t that what Hip Hop’s all about?
