Any of the Hip Hop heads here been checking out Roc Marci's new record? It's good. But I'm kind of in between the people who love the guy and the people who just don't get him at all. I mean, if you like stark minimalistic nihilistic stream of consciousness east coast fly gangster shit, then this is pretty much as good an album as you could want. Unfortunately, I'm rarely in the mood for uncompromisingly nihilistic, arrogant and ignorant fly gangster-isms these days, and I'm not feeling his voice either. Yet, I
love his minimalistic production with the inventive use of samples. And the part of me that will probably forever love gritty NY hip hop, is just insisting that I give this album a few spins, as you don't get an awful lot of albums made like this these days.
Some of his weird lyrics do make me laugh as well:
"Yeah, Gortex, got a few pair
Bust a move, make a shoe tear
Take off your ear like a souvenir
Swing from the chandelier
Richard Gere with the gear Ric Flair
Squeeze clips in the brisk air
Split your pear for for the wristwear
The kid is a pistolier"
Richard Gere with the gear, oh man, haha.
