NEXT STEP: LOCK SELF OUT OF HOUSE
That worked brilliantly. I didn't post for about 16 seconds.
MEMORANDUM
Dear Guerilla Black:
That song "Compton," that uses "I'm Glad You're Mine" and "Bam Bam"? That's nice. And "Trixx," the one that's basically "Tipsy"? That's fun, too. And that "Guerilla Nasty" song, the one that condenses a bunch of dancehall rhythms into one and uses the background-singer-addresses-the-MC trick? Definitely worth a spin.
A note of caution, though. (You probably don't read the blog, so I should point out that the following comment has nothing to do with valorizing originality or buying into any concepts of linear progress. It's just about safety.) If you don't release your teeth from his style, Biggie is going to come back from the dead and turn you into Guerilla Black and Blue. Just a thought.
Yrs,
