Frank-B) It's Time To Party (LP Version) About The Record: You Had too Much to Drink, by EPMD, from their album Unfinished Business, is a cautionary hip-hop track addressing the dangers of drunk driving, featuring a narrative about a character, Frank B, who overindulges and faces consequences. The song, produced by EPMD with contributions from engineers Charlie Marotta and Ivan 'Doc' Rodriguez, incorporates a rap-rock style with hard rock guitar elements, marking a unique stylistic experiment for the duo. Its historical significance lies in reflecting late 1980s cultural shifts, possibly influenced by the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) movement, which prompted rappers to tackle social issues like drinking and driving. The single remains a notable, though less commercially successful, part of EPMDs discography, valued for its storytelling and social message.
