I keep going back to this godawful cut "Bug Powder Dust" by Bomb the Bass. Don't know the name of the responsible party handling the MC duties, but goddammit that was some foul shit.

And whoever raps on "Men in Blue" by Prince Paul. "The men in blue are like a crew / they do whatever they want to do" and "I'm Officer O'Malley / I shoot you in the alley". Yes, it's parody but even so it doesn't stop me wanting to bite my ears off when I hear it.

"Fatback Band" were in fact a band. Of several people. And King Tim III is the MC, as he states at least fifteen times on the track. And it's from 1979 (often recognized as the first rap single ever) so cut it some fuckin' slack; it's better than "Rapper's Delight".

The whole El-P issue is pretty contentious; a lot of folx here can't stand his ohshitgottafitanothercouplewordsinbeforethenextbreak flow or his "life's ill" subject matter or the whole "I am incapable of making a happy beat" feel to his stuff. Me, I like to listen to paranoid Numan/Sabbath/RZA menage-a-trois epics every so often and since I'm not a Lou Reed fanboy I have to fill that "cantankerous NYC whiteboy auteur/noisemonger" gap in my life somehow.

Eugene Landy, I'm sure.
Like I said, it's been ages since I've heard it, and it's under a pile of too many boxes to dig it up and see if I missed something the first time around. But I remember finding even the Bob Dylan duet cold and dreary.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time and send The Get Fresh Crew to mime school. You say "La-Di-Da-Di" and "The Show" -- I say, "Feh." Plus, Slick Rick's success had the unfortunate side effect of encouraging Brits to rap.
All the same, I'm glad he isn't still in an INS holding cell.
