In 2006, the Bay-Area hip-hop group the Pack burst onto the scene with their single "Vans," a pulsating, hypnotic tribute to their favorite sneakers, which helped to introduce hyphy to the rest of the nation. More than a year later, their debut full-length, Based Boys, was released. "Vans," included on the album as a bonus, is the best of the bunch, the other tracks trying to capitalize on that song's success and its catchy, almost haunting hook. [Based Boys was also released in a clean version, with all profanities removed.] Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
