Seriously I was in my friends house on Sat and they let him take the whole fukin display shelf home. Dude has this giant Tower Records CD shelf with all his CD's on it the shit was so sick! It had all types of tower labels and stuff Like "May Releases" on it. Took up half of the room like
Alright, there was like 20-some copies of this out there:
"The Fedi Fetcher & The Money Stretcher"
Car tested, headphone tested:
Alright, this is a party album. And I can tell you right off the bat that the beats are hott to dealth on this CD. There's some real get-going crumb-wiper slumper jump on the bumper tracks here.
If only it were an instrumental album.
I just don't know if I can get with the mic-styles of Droop-E.[/b] He's kind of got that classic square buppie pervert-in-a-leather-jacket sound of a Smooth B. [/b] But because of his West Coast orientation, he ends up sounding like the one Pep Love[/b], but a pervert:
"I'm the reason that your pussy's loose... like an 8-year-old's tooth!"
I mean, come on dude.
There are so many stretched similies employed in the lyrics. Some are clever. Many are stretched to bursting, like a fat lady's girdle at the Chinese buffet.
B-Slimm[/b], as billed, plays second fiddle. He's not bad, not great, didn't make a big impression either way.
But wait a minute, 2 surprise guest shots from Choppa[/b]!?
"CHOPPA From Making The Band".
Well maybe "Making The Band" worked wonders, because it is 2006 and he's "focus"!
Anyway, this is a kind of fun party album, there are a couple good hyphy/dumm cuts like "Surf", if you are totally partying you will probably get a laff out of it, but I myself would enjoy this more as an instrumental - Droop E makes great tracks, but on the mic makes doo-doo snacks.
Yes, that Choppa, Chopp-Chopp-Choppa Style! from New Orleans. What's he doing on this album? Billed here as: "CHOPPA From Making The Band".
Aren't the real Choppa and the Making the Band Choppa two different people (both being from NOLA, but only the former being featured in Nik Cohn's book)?
Yeah thats why Making the Band Choppa renamed himself 'young city' or something goofy like that.
and yeah the rapping on that droop e album is unbearable. I'd rather listen to Frank N Dank (another duo who put out an album this year that I would like if i could stand to hear them rap for more than 5 seconds)
Aren't the real Choppa and the Making the Band Choppa two different people (both being from NOLA, but only the former being featured in Nik Cohn's book)?
I never saw Making The Band, I always just assumed it was the same Choppa!
I think the original Take Fo' Choppa's ascension to No Limit also-ran was around the time I became disconnected to the New Orleans streets, so this is a good question that requires some research.
Damn, 2 Choppas? What the fuck is next, 2 Hot Boy Ronalds?
How is this book? I was meaning to pick it up, but forgot about it. Essential, just okay?
As a documentation of the NOLA rapp scene, it is spotty at best. If anything, it kind of opens the door to the empty space upon which THE book on New Orleans rapp will one day stand.
As a stand-alone memoir of the exploits of an aging and delusional man, it's actually a pretty damn good read.
Say what you will about Cohn's credentials and motivations, as it stands right now, this book is the only book where you can read ANTHING at all about scene stalwarts such as Lil Tee.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that, while Harvey Canal is presently not at work on such a book, he will ultimately, upon publication of such a book, spill more words than the book itself contains in the process of debating its realness and connectivity.
I went to the La Jolla Tower last night and didn't remember seeing any classical, could be wrong though. All the non rap CD's were 70% off though.

British journalist Nik Cohn earned his stars and stripes chronicling American subcultures in his screenplay to 1977's Saturday Night Fever.
I believe the expression is simply "earned his stripes"--regardless, what about the part where his stars and stripes were revoked when it emerged that he'd Nickson Blairvestered all the reportage on which SNF was supposedly based?
i went today and got some decent stuff. joe bataan, sir joe quarterman & free soul, sugarman three.....

Thought it would be obvious, but I tied in the traditional expression with the later accusation of carpetbaggeury...as in Cohn's writing for SNF earned him the pass that mistakenly had a publisher later think that he could accurately *define* NOLA bounce as he once *did* disco.

All pop rock now 80% off, that's as low as they go.
I got:
Shooter Jennings - Electric Rodeo Bailterspace - Solar 3 H.P. Lovecraft - Live, May 11, 1968 Imaad Wasif - s/t David Allan Coe + Pantera - Rebel Meets Rebel Cloudland Canyon - Requiems Der Natur 2002-2004 Kix - Blow My Fuse
total including tax : $23.76
And that's all she wrote...I now have enough country / rapp tunes to last me well into 2007 for fresh listening, but I am going to miss having Tower's formerly endless racks to rummage through at lunchtime.
I stopped by Tower on Saturday and it was the slimmest of pickings. I scored a Done Deal Fam CD (Big Rich!), an Oakland Sideshows DVD, and a chopper magazine. There was not much good stuff left.
I did, however, run into Cool Chris (aka The Real Wallaby King), who was cleaning out the import CD section and making me wish I knew a fourth as much as he did.
Conchillo and I did the Tower on Clark today. Three days left. Private gangster for days. I spent $82.79 on 81 CDs. The receipt says I saved $1164.50 This particular super-local rap CD by Severe originally retailed for $24.99!
I wish this 1977 and these were records, but still.

Perhaps 1/4th of what he knows, but who owns the Texas-shaped waffle iron?
And to insure everyone that your post was the first I read in this thread (read: apropos of nothing), I was combing through junk stores in Miami Beach on Saturday after getting rained out at work and I found a little Lone Star leather vest, perfectly fitted for a toddler. You, of course, were the first person I thought of. I pulled it off the rack just before it occured to me that gifting you to with it might initiate one of those "so are we ready" conversations that I don't want to be responsible for, leather onesy and all.
Also, besides "SURRENDER THE BOOTY" pirate shirts, they were selling these:

This is so great, "Backstroke" OMG
Pause, dude.
no pause needed

I meant CD. I already ....got.....the....album...*COLLAR POPPED!*
Plus it was a 32 dollar Import (!?!?!?)
Deej:
I hear a lot of good things about Ayatollah's CD, plus dude made Ms. Fat Booty which I think is probally one of the best chops of a sample ever.
ya see...this is the type of girl/picture I would of put in "S W O O N", but a bunch of broke-dick born again virgins had to go and ruin it.

By all accounts, it is self-indulgent and a bit racialist.
