Rappity Rap

Since Christmas was over a couple weeks ago I figured it's time to remove the Christmas tunes from the boom box. Any it's totally appropriate to replace them with some classic rap tracks.

The first track up is Kick Some from House of Pain, but you would know this track better as Put On Your Shit Kickers. Take out all the cool curse words from Put On Your Shit Kickers and "clean" it up with strategical timed scratches and such.

Second track up is Baby Got Back from Sir Mix-A-Lot. A classic that doesn't need any explaination.

Third track is Straight out of Locash from the Chris Rock gansta rap movie CB4. I picked up the soundtrack at Cash Converters for only $1 just for this song and the other CB4 song Sweat Of My Balls. The lyrics are ridiculous, but unfortunately only last for half the song. The second half of the song is just instrumental.

I read that back in the 80's when Dee Dee Ramone was in rehab he met some rappers and thought they were pretty cool, so he thought it would be a good idea to leave the Ramones and release a rap album called Standing in the Spotlight under the name Dee Dee King. The album is awful. Dee Dee doesn't so much rap as talk and his ryhmes are straight up wack and I mean wack in a bad way. He kind of sings on a few songs and those songs are the better ones. One track, German Kid, has Dee Dee rapping in German. His one song The Crusher was later covered by the Ramones on their final album Adios Amigos. The Ramones version is the superior version and the scary part is the Dee Dee's version is one of the better songs on Standing in the Spotlight. Enjoy I Want What I Want, I didn't think it would be cool to make you listen to Mashed Potato Time.

Later bitches!
