Point out da Bounce

If Throwdown by Disco Four was the best old 12" I discovered in 2012, then Doo Wop & Da Bounce Squad's Hit 'Em In The Head/Da Bounce Master single was the best 12" I came up on last year. Hit 'Em In The Head isn't a classic like that other 1993 N.Y Rap song with a sample of Joe Williams' version of Get Out My Life Woman, but it deserves a solid 4 flaming garbage cans out of 5 on the 1993 tip:

I'm not a blogger I just write about rap, metaphorically I slide like Mike Jack'...

Actually, my sliding is more like Jack Tweed-meets-Kelvin Jack than that pederast who buggered Corey Feldman and Macaulay Culkin, but I did write about a new Fred The Godson song in thee Rap & Bullshit stylee for Complex's Deep Cuts series today.

"I see u shawty, she peepin' tha God!"


Not even mad at David Drake & Dave Bry for editing out my line about Fred resembling "a Looney Tunes cartoon version of Scarface if he'd been smacked in the face with a frying pan by Bugs Bunny" from the first paragraph since Jack Thriller's description of Fred in that ThisIs50 video Complex linked to in its place was the greatest music criticism of 2011.

Fuck that giggling male chickenhead Elliot Wilson, Jack is the best interviewer in the business right now.

Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin get MC UGK-ed!

Q from WorldStar obviously had them bork video graphic artists on deck to caption his WSHH Presents The Field: Chicago documentary. For $5 a dude from Utrecht who confuses Nelly and Melle Mel will caption 39876 different videos 4 u:

Gonna chuck an MP3 of my favourite song from the Stu Hustlah & Lil' Juu Lillie Street is the Street album up on here for now since I'm hopefully gonna be talking about it elsewhere in the next day or so.

"So much in my life, dope in my pours
Tryna find a way out, spittin' raps 'til I'm hoarse.."

Stu Hustlah & Lil' Juu - This Is Me
(From Lillie Street is the Street album; 2014)


EDIT: Wrote about This Is Me for Complex's newfangled daily Deep Cuts series. Feels guud to get a bunch of J. Cole fanboys to listen to a Murdergang song.

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)

Ayo Herb McGruff

You should release the CDQ version of Creep because it's the best solo cut you ever recorded, and the chil'ren ain't even know you're one of the founding fathers of Harlem henchman-Rap since most of your best solo tracks never came out officially:

"While you fakin', I knocked ya ass out in Green Haven
Cup cake, you used to wash my drawers upstate"

Herb McGruff - Creep
(From the Villain Guys bootleg EP; 1998)


Being such a hardrock that you had other rappers washing your underwear in prison is, of course, one of the central tenets of Harlem henchman-Rap which runs through the catalogues of the sub-genre's pioneers MobStyle right up to its most most notable recent exponent A-Mafia. Although the Villain Guys EP came out in 1998, Creep was intended to be McGruff's debut street single for Uptown Records in early 1996 until Isaac Hayes sabotaged the plan by not clearing the sample because the song's content offended him. I'll never understand how Ike let Biggie get away with Warning yet felt the need to nix Snoop's G'z Up Hoez Down and this McGruff joint.

Chinx Durx

Thus far, the only good thing to come out of Lil' Durk's Coke Boys affiliation is his game of "who can make the best AutoGoon™ anthem?" one-upmanship with Chinx Drugz. It began when Chinx responded to Dis Ain't What U Want with the sublime Tell 'Em, and Durk has just returned fire with Money & Power from that new Coke Boys 4 mixtape. No lie, first time I clicked play on this song TV's fell down, a fuckin' helicopter came from the fuckin' sky whirlin' and shit, and people started throwin' money everygodamnwhere:

Upgrade 'Em 3

In lieu of DB Tha General's Motel 6 album not having dropped in 2013, here's a slept-on Bay Area cut from DB's rappin' producer DJ Upgrade and his weed carrier Rico Tha Kidd who was responsible for the briefly internet-sexy Feta Cheese video which nobody ever managed to find an MP3 of (Cool story, bro: I actually discovered this track trawling the Amazon store for an MP3 of Feta Cheese.) Hey Girl is the sort of amorous love-at-first-sight tale you'll only hear in Rap music (man chirpses woman by letting the rocks in his chain do all the talking), and Rico's OOOOHHHH-OOOOOHHH's which telegraph that his hook's looming is some classic Rap & Bullshit on the rappeur-turnt-sanger tip:

"Vampire, don't ever look me in the eyes
I be hangin' off trees, I be hella high
Fly in the daytime but I kill at night
I bit her neck, she was a slave the rest of her life"

DJ Upgrade ft. Rico Tha Kidd - Hey Girl
(DJ Upgrade's Blue Magic compilation; 2013)
