After jamming to a few of Johnny's collaborations with Torri Fixx, Deadlee & Aaron-Carl, I finally took a chance on purchasing his full CD. Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, you are one nasty, talented, trash talking Dude and I love it! You are lyrically dangerous, and funny. Do your thang!

“White Hot” boldly thrusts Johnny Dangerous as a new kind of artist
author: OutHipHop.com
Johnny Dangerous 2008 is here. With his “White Hot” release, He takes leaps and bounds from his debut, “Dangerous Liaisons”. In one fast 58 minute sweep, he simultaneously rebelliously confirms He is the Queen of Nastiness and redefines his place on the musical map.
“White Hot” boldly thrusts Johnny Dangerous as a new kind of artist, one who will not be enslaved or held captive to the musical genres of “hip hop” and “rap”. Are there hip hop songs? Yes. Does he rap? Yes. Does this CD sound like what most people think of when they think of hip hop and rap? Not always. And there, it seems Johnny has achieved his primary goal, which is to redefine himself musically and distinguish his uniqueness.
Producer extraordinaire Tori Fixx seems to have the biggest role in the CD, and every track he produces bring out the new sound of Johnny Dangerous. With tracks like “Take Your Man”, “Three Minute Pop”, “Gayngsta Glam”, and “Dirty is the New Black”, Tori helps create the new Johnny Dangerous sound with a mix of electronic and industrial music styles and a fat dance beat. Imagine Nine Inch Nails with a dance beat. Another Fixx produced track, “Breathe” is hot hip hop that those looking for more standard hip hop will appreciate. The track also features the West Coast’s Ricoshade and is one of the best on the CD. “Eat It”, and “(Want Dat) Ass” are songs with infectious rhymes and filthy lyrics. What is also impressive is how the other producers such as Aaron Carl and Juba Kalamka integrate Johnny\'s new sound into their tracks as well.
So, yes, the CD contains many catchy hooks and fat beats, it is something that Johnny Dangerous fans will love. Hardcore hip hop heads, maybe not so much. Many of the songs retain his pride in rapping about gay sex…we are indeed constantly made aware how he likes men who are well endowed, how he likes to have his ass eaten, and many other explicit sex details Johnny revels in. At times, it grows old. But if there was a top 40 radio station for explicit queer music, this CD would spawn 5 to 6 hit singles, as the formula that runs through this CD is infectious and addictive. Even with that said, there are no \"filler\" tracks on this CD, even the bonus track, DJ Pain 1\'s version of \"Dirty is the New Black\" is such a hot mix that it is indeed, a bonus!
