Tone Loc Lōc In On The Shaw



Lōc

(Redirected from Lōc'ed After Dark)

A forgotten man in the rise of West Coast rap, Tone-Loc was effectively cut off from his hometown scene in Los Angeles by his unexpected pop success. Paced by the singles 'Wild Thing' and 'Funky Cold Medina' - both co-written by a pre-fame Young MC- and some of the earliest productions by the legendary Dust Brothers, Loc's debut album, Loc-ed After Dark, became the second rap album to top.

Tone Lōc is the stage name of Anthony Terrell Smith (born March 3, 1966), an American hip hop artist and actor, most known for his 1989 hit singles 'Wild Thing' and 'Funky Cold Medina'.He is also known for his deep, gravelly, hoarse voice– the result of a childhood tea-drinking accident that left. The album Loc-ed After Dark became the second rap release ever to top the pop charts. Tone-Loc expanded his horizons into acting in 1992 and 1993, appearing a few times on the Fox sitcom Roc. He was also in the films Posse and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and in 1991 returned to recording with Cool Hand Loc. Ron Wynn, Rovi.

Steve Huey of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, 'Loc's distinctively rough, raspy voice and easygoing delivery made him an appealing storyteller, but he was aiming for the streets more than the pop charts.'[5]
