Dee Dee King was the short-lived alter ego of Ramones bassist/songwriter Dee Dee Ramone. After an embarassing single a couple years earlier, in 1989 (around the same time he officially left the Ramones) he made his full rap debut with this album, Standing In The Spotlight. Although it's not exactly a straight up "rap" album, I have a feeling Dee Dee might have thought it was. He was kind of a nutty guy, but in a lovable way. A few of the songs were actually more like Ramones songs than anything else (in fact, "The Crusher" was later re-recorded for the Ramones final solo album), but most of them are just bizarre. It also features Debbie Harry doing some backing vocals. Certainly not a musical masterpiece, but interesting and entertaining in it's own way. Give it a listen!
