| Wu-Tang Autumn |
[Sep. 29th, 2009|10:47 pm] |
It's finally autumn!
Time to wave goodbye to those monster electric bills, open up all the windows and LOVE LIFE IN PERFECT WEATHER.
I've had 2½ days off and it's been awesome.
i've done some gardening, did some chores, pumped iron,
and brought out some great old music for the soundtrack.
For me, springtime is Pavement & Aphex Twin, winter is The Rentals, summer is uh.. Rancid or Lecrae or Jovishes or Vampire Weekend, Dear Nora is all year round, but autumn belongs to the WU TANG CLAN.
If you like rap at all, you've probably got "Enter the 36 Chambers."
This is the Wu's quintessential work. There are clean and instrumental versions available, so really, everyone should have it. But as far as Wu-Tang proper goes, it's all downhill from there. There are several other releases from Wu-Tang members that keep the intensity and intrigue of "36 Chambers." Here's a few you might want to check out this monf:
"No Said Date" by Masta Killah
I read some great reviews of this when it first came out,
but I couldn't find it anywhere! Well, almost nowhere...
I had this dream where i found the cassette in a bargain bin.
I couldn't believe my luck. The album's a slowburner.
There's no real anthems here, but it's all consistently awes. Don't miss it!
"Behind the Stained Glass" by Killah Priest
This cover is ugly. If I saw it in the record store, i'd probably pass it right by.
That would be a mistake. This album is the jam.
The first KP album I got was his debut, "Heavy Mental" (a cassette in a bargain bin).
That was good, but this one's better.
It's his most focused, mature, & listenable release.
He says a lot of Bible stuff, which i like.
and he kindof goes off on some paranoid rants, which i also like.
Sometimes he quotes scripture, sometimes he's just like, "READ HOSEA 4:6!"
He's serious on this. He "goes hard" here.
"Behind the Stained Glass" has a variety of producers (though it's mostly DJ Whool), yet, it gets the raw, urban kung-fu style that is WU, down to a tee. It's a must have for fans of WTC.
"Only Built for Cuban Linx..." by Raekwon
Yeah, i named my dog Raekwon, but don't get it twisted, I am not a fan.
I like how he wasn't inducted into the clan for his rap chops, but rather for his awesome lasagna and i like this record, but really... it'd be better without Raekwon.
He's like the little brother of the Wu-Tang Clan;
far from the zen masters of his posse, he drops no science, only bling bling & blam blam.
The beats are top notch, and 'kwon's lyrics aren't quite as thuggin' & materialistic as on later albums, but still... I'm glad the words are easy to tune out.
AND, that it's available as an instrumental.
speaking of instrumental,
"Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai OST" by RZA
It's great. genius score to a genius film. who else could've done it?
most of this album is pretty laid back; it's great for chillin' out.
oh, don't get this confuzed with the Ghost Dog album.
it's like Batman (1989), there was the Danny Elfman score, and Prince's weird perv-fest.
read carefully, or you could end up with a pretty lame cd.
Those are the highlights. Um... there's also GZA's "Liquid Swords" and Ghostface Killah's "Fishscale," but you've already got those..

| lost it in an H1N1 fugue state |
[Jun. 21st, 2009|05:36 pm] |
i know i had my wallet in the back pocket of my blue shants last night.
all i did the past 2 days was lay around with pig flu,
so i didn't want to lay on the bump.. but i left it in so i wouldn't lose it.
like in AMC's "Breaking Bad" when Malcom's dad does these terrible terrible things for his family, but at the end of season 2, they leave him.
maybe it's not quite the same as theft, meth, & murder, but i was laid up.
i have no idea where my wallet is.
i know where it isn't:
my dress pants, my shants, my microwave, my dad's car, my shirt pocket, the pantry, the freezer, my coffee table, my bed, the huge stack of clean clothes on my other bed, the inside of my computer, my desk, the game/coat/vacuum closet, the record shelf (where i found 1.5 bagel), the bookshelf, the medicine cabinet.
maybe that 3-day-old ruben i ate reacted to the musinex & sudafed & chile rellenos to raise me up in my sleep like a zombie, who decided to put the wallet somewhere safe, like the butter shelf or the tape deck. newp.
maybe whoever beat me up in my sleep took it.
i bet it was B/l/a/c/k/w/a/t/e/r.
hired by the b/i/l/d/e/r/b/e/r/g/s to shut me up about swine flu being a scare tactic the man's using to usher us into a n/e/w/w/o/r/l/d/o/r/d/e/r/p/o/l/i/c/e/s/t/a/t/e.
where are you, wallet?
you have betrayed me, but i forgive you.
