�� information

While Robbin' the Hood lacks the refinement of it's predecessor, 40 oz. to Freedom, it has become a favorite among the most avid of Sublime's fans. Recorded in various run-down houses in and around Long Beach, California, Robbin' contains the widest array of styles in any Sublime album. Over the course of the 22 tracks there are bright and bouncy reggae shuffles (Waiting For Bud), slow pounding dub tracks (Steppin' Razor), fast hard-driven punk rock (All You Need), and Sublime's most epic song, a three-movement masterpiece known as STP (an acronym for Secret Tweeker Pad).
All in all, Robbin' is harder to get into, but much more rewarding and contains higher quality songs. Whereas most of Sublime's music is purely emotion-based and beat-driven, the songs on Robbin' are more thought out and introspecitive, yet still manage to retain the same deep grooves and rhythms that Sublime is known for.
Contained within Robbin' the Hood are snippets of Sublime's signature sound past and future, as they sample their own Badfish, and the not-yet-released Garden Grove in the Steady B Loop Dub. The Lincoln Highway Dub rolls out to the listener an early, lyricless version of Santeria, and at the 5:44 mark on track number 22 (Robbin' the Hood is the only Sublime album to contain a technical hidden track) an alternate version of Sublime's signature song Don't Push blasts through. Like 40 oz to Freedom, Robbin' also had a legality issue with a track, (a cover of Farther I Go by the Seattle-based grunge band Mudhoney).
