The Cactus Album, also known as The Cactus Cee/Dee, was the debut album by hip-hop trio 3rd Bass, released on Def Jam on October 23, 1989. The album received positive reviews from the hip hop press, and the group gained some publicity by being arguably the second white group to achieve hip hop credibility, after the Beastie Boys. The album generally features songs that are lyrical showcases or are about women (such as the hidden sexual meaning of "Oval Office").

  • The Cactus Album, also known as The Cactus Cee/Dee, was the debut album by hip-hop trio 3rd Bass, released on Def Jam on October 23, 1989. The album received positive reviews from the hip hop press, and the group gained some publicity by being arguably the second white group to achieve hip hop credibility, after the Beastie Boys. The album generally features songs that are lyrical showcases or are about women (such as the hidden sexual meaning of "Oval Office"). The song, "Sons of 3rd Bass" can be viewed as a diss to the Beastie Boys (who had recently severed ties with 3rd Bass' record label, Def Jam) in that it references them in several lines such as: Swarm to the lyrics cause Serch is your father Screaming "Hey Ladies," why bother? The album is notable for featuring Daniel Dumile (on '"The Gas Face") in his recording debut. At the time, he was recording under the alias Zev Love X, a member of the rap duo KMD, but would later come to be known as MF DOOM. The Cactus Album peaked at #5 on Billboard's Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums chart and at #55 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.
  • The Cactus Album (The Cee/Dee) è l'album di debutto della crew hip hop 3rd Bass, uscito nel 1989 per Def Jam. L'album ricevette recensioni positive dalla stampa di settore e la fama del gruppo fu aumentata dal fatto di essere il primo gruppo interraziale a comparire sulle scene, il secondo in cui erano presente rapper bianchi, dopo i Beastie Boys. Le liriche delle canzoni contenute delle l'album hanno come tema principale le donne (come Oval Office, una traccia sessualmente allusiva) o sono semplici dimostrazioni di abilità lirica. La canzone Sons of 3rd Bass è un dissing contro i Beastie Boys, che avevano da poco lasciato la Def Jam. Altro tratto distintivo dell'album è la presenza della prima apparizione di Daniel Dumile. The Gas Face contiene infatti un featuring del rapper che, in seguito, sarebbe stato conosciuto come MF DOOM, qui accreditato con il nome che utilizzava ai tempi dei KMD, Zev Love X. The Cactus Album raggiunse la 5a posizione nella Billboard Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums e la 55esima nella Billboard 200. Nel 1998, l'album fu inserito nella The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.
