Particularly nasty lyrics.

I bet they've never done it with a lady.

sad yes

65 Allen Street, as mentioned in the song.

I've just noticed that they've got what looks like an AR-15 in the cab of their van.

I wonder if it's an airsoft? hmn

It does kind of look like somewhere that 'ladies of the night' might congregate of an evening.

Hmm...

That was somewhat disappointing.

I was hoping for a more distinctive - and perhaps eccentric, regional sound.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Mar 11, 2022 7:44 pm

Also it is over.

What a humourless, tiresome pair they were.

I have stood 0.2 miles away from it. Excited

As for the album, it is over.

It was tedious drivel from start to finish.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Mar 11, 2022 7:48 pm

I shall give it one star.

Instead it was almost entirely made up of murky, but all-to-clean, sub-RZA production and had rappers who's 'schtick' wore pretty thin pretty quickly.

Also, as it went on, I felt that a really gratuitous, unnecessary and faintly pathetic vein of misogyny began to establish itself.

I dunno, perhaps they were a bit young and dumb back then and they've grown up a bit now, but with it any sense of irony or humour was crushed.

In the midst of it all there was really only one song of note - one I might look up or revisit - and that weren't enough.

Not really representing a very charming side of Yorkshire's finest city, were they. sad yes

I bet when people see that entrance in the brochure, they're desperate to stay there.

Ultimately, I would describe this album commentary as a failed experiment.

As a hip-hop fan I wanted to do something that, in a regional, cultural sense, might be of some added interest to Wendi despite the fact that she's not all that much of a fan of genre.

I may seek out some Sheffield/South Yorkshire hip-hop in future, but this time I'll research it properly first.

by Nightjar Fri Mar 11, 2022 7:56 pm

In the meantime, I apologise, humbly.
