Let's Get Serious is the first studio album by American hip hop group Party Fun Action Committee.[1] It was released on Definitive Jux on July 1, 2003.[2] The concept album documents a day in the life of two record label executives played by Blockhead and Jeremy Gibson listening to a collection of demo tapes.[1]
Johnny Loftus of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, stating that "while the raps throughout are often impressive (if a little sophomoric), it's the beats PFAC has come up with that really sell Let's Get Serious' book of inside jokes."[2] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club commented that "Let's Get Serious recalls The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands".[3] He added, "PFAC's uneven but inspired Let's Get Serious is silly, self-indulgent, and sophomoric, and a whole lot of fun to boot".[3] Jeff Weiss of Stylus Magazine said: "From the ad-libs of each faux-artist to the small jabs at the record executives' dietary habits and decorating tastes, the album plays out like a hip-hop version of This Is Spinal Tap".[1]
Los Angeles Times named the album one of the most seminal releases from Definitive Jux, calling it "the gold standard of comedy rap records".[4]
