The hip-hop ball is tossed high into the air and smashed, clearing the net by a whole 2 inches spinning like a bollock towards you with a certain degree of accuracy. Return the serve.

I like 'Trippin' at the Disco'

Shin Oliva Suzuki, Sunday, 25 October 2009 15:48 (sixteen years ago)

classic the next step l.a. song great

FACK, Sunday, 25 October 2009 16:05 (sixteen years ago)

'trippin at the disco' is kinda embarrassing imo :-/

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 16:43 (sixteen years ago)

i don't know how that's even possible, when it's them trying to be totally goofy.
weakest album to date. every one since OST has been part of a gradual decline. :(

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 16:51 (sixteen years ago)

they succeed at being totally goofy

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 17:04 (sixteen years ago)

have you seen the video?

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 17:26 (sixteen years ago)

yeah it just feels like a joke

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 17:41 (sixteen years ago)

well um yeah??

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 17:44 (sixteen years ago)

how embarrassing

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:13 (sixteen years ago)

i dont really like either one

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:16 (sixteen years ago)

i mean i 'get' that its a joke, (the PUTS one) but it feels like such a dorky one

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:16 (sixteen years ago)

i find that endearing. they've always been kinda dorky, part of their charm.

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:21 (sixteen years ago)

yeah but usually the beats werent dorky, they were just good

i got nothin (deej), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:22 (sixteen years ago)

true. and i doubt i'll be bumping "Disco", I view it as a throwaway goofy track, and think hip hop could benefit from more of those.

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:24 (sixteen years ago)

it's this album's entry in the "hang loose", "tuxedo rap", "swan fever" line of retro party tracks. no it's not as good as those, but like i said, diminishing quality from them in general.

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 25 October 2009 18:31 (sixteen years ago)

eleven years pass...

Double K of People Under the Stairs passed away this evening. In addition to rapping, he co-produced the group's music with groupmate Thes One which was extremely influential in the West Coast's underground scene.

Man, that’s a bummer.

sctttnnnt (pgwp), Sunday, 31 January 2021 18:24 (five years ago)

man. that sucks an awful lot. i loved puts when they came out and they were consistently one of the best groups putting out just straight ahead boom bap records at a time when that was increasingly less cool. i lost interest in hiphop around the time of stepfather, but i never heard a wack record by them. i recall seeing some feature piece write-ups around their album from 2019, which they announced would be their last. solid record, but has layers of extra poignancy and relevance all of a sudden.

he was 43. i'm going to be 40 in a few weeks. this hits extremely hard.

one year passes...

Thes One has a new album out called "Farewell, my friend" a tribute to Double K, really a lovely record, it's mostly instrumental based on sampling stuff that DK loved, there are interview interludes talking about him, the whole thing is pretty affecting.

Oliver Wang interviewed Thes One for this excellent story about the album
