Music
In contrast to the band's first album, which largely mixed hardcore punk with hip hop,[7]Broke incorporates modern elements, including classic rock and world music influences.[8]
AllMusic described the musical style of Broke as drawing from hip hop and that Hed PE "opted for slick production and mundane verse/chorus/verse formatting rather than continuing to blaze a path as the hip-hop-influenced hardcore band (hed)pe's debut album proudly announced they were."[2]CMJ described the album's sound as combining "down-tuned guitars with booty-licious beatsand hardcore raps that are littered by more cussing than a sailor."[9]
Beatdust described the band as "becoming another Limp Bizkit clone" with Broke and the subsequent Blackout, which were recorded to pay back the losses owed to the label to recoup the commercial failure of the band's self-titled debut album.[7]
The album features guest appearances in recognition of Hed PE's hardcore punk and heavy metal influences, including Dead Kennedys guitarist East Bay Ray, who performs on the song "Waiting to Die", and singers Serj Tankian of System of a Down and Morgan Lander of Kittie, who appear on the song "Feel Good".[8][10]
Release and reception
The album peaked at #63 on the Billboard , while its first free, "Bartender", peaked at #23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and at #27 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[11] A music video for "Killing Time", the second single from Broke, was produced in promotion of the film Miles To Graceland, which featured the song on its soundtrack.[12]
Response from professional critics was mixed.
AllMusic's Jason D. Taylor wrote that the album "may have not found as much success in the competitive mainstream market as some would have liked, and even despite its distinct departure from the group's debut, it is an album that shows more vision than other rap-tinged rock albums to come out in "[2]
Rolling Stone said that with Broke, "Rap metal has found its Motley Crue."[5]
Q described the album's sound as creature "Focused and mature" and said that Hed PE "possess the wherewithal to express their fury and frustration musically"[4]
Melody Maker said the album was "about as black as this pimp-rock is gonna get, hip-hop credible in a way no one in the field has been since Urban Dance Squadit's a excellent album"[3]
The most negative response to the album came from critics who viewed its lyrics as misogynistic.[13][14]
