This the mainiest zaniest


So, the Stu Hustlah & Lil' Juu album dropped yesterday, and even if you're not a fan of low-budget regional variations on Jacka-core mobb music it's still worth celebrating that someone can release an album with a cover like this in 2014 without it coming off as some Noisey-sponsored dress-up Tumblr-rap. That's because you can only really pull off such a cover if your whole aesthetic rejects the 97% of Rap music which isn't C-Bo, the Mob Figaz, and Ampichino; an aesthetic I find awfully appealing in the era where individuals with no kind of common interest like Young Thug & Wale end up on the same song together.

Truthfully, though, I haven't got around to checking the album yet because I'm still stuck on that ridiculous Ampichino joint my bork brother from another mother Lars posted t'other day:

"On my knees I ask God when I'm gon' die
You can look all you want but ain't no God in the sky
I try to run from this pain by buying jewellery
Fuck it, when I die let my enemies do my eulogy"


Ampichino - Eulogy
(From the forthcoming The Eulogy album; 2014)

  4. Totally agree, the cover would look goofy as fuck if A$AP Fuckboy #7 released it, but it fits the Fort Wayne scene's lo-fi aesthetic.
    I've got to get up on some more Murder Gang music, I haven't heard nearly enough, but what I've heard sounds tight.

    That Ampichino song is dope as fuck. Best rapper out.

  7. I'm a big fan of multitasking by knocking out posts when I'm in the bath myself.

    Greatest rap tragedy ever: the vastly superior video mix of Pure Pimp not being on the Pure Pimp EP.

  8. "Some say I rap to depressing
    Stay strapped with a Mac, while you rats was confessing
    Underover was watching us - that was a lesson
    The nine months in the juve' - nigga, that was a blessing
    My nigga in the essence, my son's got questions
    Told my youngins: stop stressing and start repping
    Lethal injections, creep through your section
    Sleep with my weapon, beef with no questions
    Eat you in seconds, my peoples delete your brethren
    I did your eulogy then I spoke with your reverend
    (...)
    For any snitches, you can picture my poems
    But I'm not about to preach to you - remain calm
    Took my shahada, searching for a higher power
    On my knees, begging for mercy in my final hour
    Born again, rebirth like the Dalai Lama
    I voted for Obama but I still got the same problems"

    Betrayal = best rap song of 2013

  9. But everyone at the racquetball club would be so disappointed!

    @Lars
    Totally agree that "Betrayal" is one of the best rap songs of 2013.
