Theodore Bone Crusher – Who Are We?
(391 views?! This youtube is some bullshit edit, but that Theodore Unit album had tracks. Ghost and Trife throwing darts over a grimy beat, grimier chorus provided by Bonecrusher.)

Mobb Deep f. Eightball – Where Ya From
(Laidback New York traditionalism, but Eighball seems well and comfortable in the mix.)

Fat Joe Big Pun Eightball – Heavyweights
(Huge beat. Pun’s verse is like the foulest ever.)

Cormega f. Lil Wayne – Who Can I Trust?
(True to his renegade nature Mega collaborated with Lil Wayne way back when he wasn’t even hot.)

Outkast f. Raekwon – Skew It On The Bar-B
Big Boi ft. Andre 3000 & Raekwon – Royal Flush

(“When the South was down, Rae was there for them. A lot of shit that I do, it just happens. How that Outkast shit jumps off is I’m pushing through the mall in the A, and I see the kid. And its like respect, kings respect kings. And we just got in the studio, I liked the niggas as individuals, and they looked at me the same way. We made history.“)

50 Cent Bun B – As The World Turns
(Bun B’s best song with an East Coast rapper? Or the one below?)

Jay-Z f. UGK – Big Pimping

Kool G Rap f. Killer Mike, Bun B – Real OG’s
(Tuff song I never see mentioned. From G Rap’s tape on G-Unit.)

Kool G Rap f. Ice Cube Geto Boys – Two To The Head
(These days collabos rarely come out this raw.)

Freeway f. Scarface – Baby Don’t Do It
(Listening to this daily, preferably on repeat. Scarface, best flow ever here.)

Gang Starr f. Scarface – Betrayal
(Premier at his best, ditto the storytelling.)

Ghostface f. Scarface – Face Off
(Would like a more official collabo between the greats, in the meantime this will do.)

Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, Scarface – This Can’t Be Life

AND WHAT ELSE? HELP ME HERE NOW

Gucci och Waka uppvisar klass och plockar med legenden 8ball för gästversen.

Tror denna låt är gammal, men rader som “I look like Mr T, I feel like Soulja Slim, but I think I’m Eazy E” åldras bara väldigt motvilligt.

Måste säga att jag även gillade det serietidningsartade skrytet i videon till Mouth Full Of Gold. Båda erhåller BrytBurkens åtråvärda kvalitetsstämpel.

White Jesus is here.

DJ Burn One and Rittz have been winning lately with their present day swamp funk and eyebrow-raising rapid fire raps. The leaked songs, Fulla Shit, High Five, Pie, are great and each with a unique sound.

The new songs, though.

Not as bad as Yela’s crossover attempts on Trunk Music 0-60, but Crazy, Blowin My Mind, Dixxxie Cup, and Sextacy sound as generic as their titles. Figuring out what type of “redneck chic” material the industry might like, I suppose.

Good luck with that. Yelawolf’s chorus on Sleep At Night predicts an Duets album with Eminem by year’s end.

Embrace your inner weirdo. There’s funk in that. Rittz’ scumbag verse on Fulla Shit is pretty much the best thing on this whole tape, together with Yelawolf’s preacher cameo on the title track (wouldn’t mind more of this oddball spiritual side from the half-redneck, half-Cheeroke Indian rapper, nor from Rittz – keep looking for alien love).

After listening to Nowhere To Run a couple of times, ignoring the chorus more and more, Rittz’ pain starts bleeding through – working hard all day with no money, “sitting at my bed with a loaded gun pointed at my head“. But that guitar solo at the end kills it for me.

Is a tape full of Rittz too much to stomach? Or is he holding back, warming up, finding his way ’round the studio, dropping standardized songs just for practice?

Let’s hope so. Slumerican has too much potential to not be winning.

Allt är inte enligt planerna. Livet är inte lika stekigt nu som mitt femtonåriga jag föreställde sig. Då planerade jag att knappt behöva jobba men nu är det det enda jag ser och det som definierar mig.

Jag arbetar mer men med sämre förhållande och tjänar sämre än mina föräldrar. Resten av samhällsutvecklingen är inte underbar. Vi har inte fått upp varenda jävel på barrikaderna ännu och senast jag var där såg jag inga kommunpolitiker-kapitalister hängdandes från fötterna på Avenyn, osv.

Ödmjukhet måste kämpas fram och den förutan är det svårt att få något vettigt gjort i det här sjuka jävla landet.

Men jag har kommit långt om man jämför. Jag är bara glad att få vara här.

Oj då. Yelawolf gillar uppenbarligen sin Chevrolet.

Supertajt in-store-framförande av en av förra årets allra bästa låtar, med Rittz, som trots sin rödhårighet har flera riktigt bra låtar ute nu. White Jesus måste komma lagom till sommaren och ha mer beats i den här stilen.
