Return Of The Ad-Lib Monster…

fisty scent


BILLY X. SUNDAY asks the question… “Why rap?”

Who said you had to rap in order for you to make a Hip-Hop record? The truth is that you don’t have to rap at all. How many Hip-Hop records have been hits with simple call and response chants? How many Hip-Hop records are simply instrumental compositions? How many Hip-Hop classics have someone singing? If you are younger than 25 or a fucking retard you should put Oran ‘Juice’ Jones inside of the YouTube search window, or DRS Gangsta Lean. Rapping is only a part of making a Hip-Hop record.

After listening to Fisty Scent’s latest leak ‘Heartless Monster’ I realized how he could make an entire album of himself simply ad-libbing random thoughts with the reverb turned up and that shit would be the most entertaining record of the year. As a matter of fact it would be the top seller too. Provided the beats were brutally hard as fuck. On ‘Heartless Monster’ Fisty doesn’t start “rapping” until the 0:22 mark. He then raps until the 1:29 position. The song is three minutes long. So essentially there is 1 minute of rhymes over 3 minutes of music. During the rest of that time Fisty makes shout outs and threats and amuses himself while saying random shit with the reverb turned up.

That was the best part of the song. Okay, he did have that line about having a baby with your baby mama and becoming part of your family. That was good but the most entertaining aspect of the song is Fisty Scent’s greasy talk. When he talks about sending the young goons out to beat up faggots or making his own R-n-B album you have to laugh. Not that Fisty wouldn’t do either of these things, but just the idea that he amuses himself with spazzing out is what makes for a good piece of music. I’m already imagining some of the titles that Fisty might use for his new album…

Fuck These Faggots
On FTF Fisty Scent speaks about how the music industry is overrun with faggotry. He talks about how auto-tune and skinny jeans suck and he says that your favorite rapper is likely to be homosexual. The beat is by Dre. Shit is a classic.

Bitches Ain’t Shit
With BAS Fisty airs out all the hos that just want to spend up niggers monies. Fisty talks about some bitch he is fucking that follows him around the country with her man’s checkbook. Beats again are by Dre.

I Will Kill You Man
Fisty warns anyone that would even think of using these beats by Dre for their mixtape that he will personally visit their home and kill them. This joint is produced by Lord Finesse, er, rather Dre.

Fuck These Rappers
This is the Fisty track we have all been waiting for. He proceeds to air out The Game, Lil’ Wayne, Young Buck and Kanye West by telling us the story that they were all at an orgy together and only Fisty had sex with the women.

Fuck These Homos
Faggots really piss off Fisty Scent and now he directs his ad-libs at the industry people that shit on his projects or just simply don’t think he is the best. This song is powered by yet another Dr.Dre throwaway track which was considered for Detox.

The beats are what make this Fisty Scent ad-lib album so memorable. They knock hard and they help him get out the aggressive talk that returns him back to the top of the heap of Hip-Hop artists. The next thing we see in Hip-Hop is a bunch of rappers turning the reverb up to 10 to talk shit. Haha, and some of you thought auto-tune sucked!?!

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

kixpys

Last night I had one of the best times on the internets that you can have that doesn’t involve downloading German smut videos.

NiceKicks.com presented their annual Kixpys sneaker awards and the show was hosted by my folks from Obsessive Sneaker Disorder. If you haven’t been part of the OSD live broadcast then you don’t know what you are missing. It’s the chance to argue, co-sign, show love and hate to everything happening in the world of sneakers. From time to time the show touches on stories that occur outside of that realm but the discussions are still framed around the love of sneakers. I don’t really know what else to say about the program other than the fact that if you are a sneaker nerd you will feel like Norm does every time he walks into Cheers.

If I’m not in the streets going in hardbody at an obama I am on the phone taking part in this one of a kind program that reaffirms the reason I am a sneaker fiend. OSD was the perfect venue for the Kixpys since this is the one place that spent the entire year commiserating and congratulating all the nominees. The big winner was DJ Clark Kent who took home two awards and also took the time to be part of the program. Clark Kent is a pretty generous and humble dude if you don’t know him, but if he feels comfortable around you he will talk that shit. Clark went in with everyone for the length of the show. He talked about his passion for sneakers as art and as footwear. He also told us that he had some projects in the pipeline that would eclipse his award winners.

The 112 Pack by Clark Kent

The 112 Pack was a tremendous release for NIKE and for Clark Kent. I think that Clark certainly give NIKE their street credibility. NIKE is already popular enough but the edge that Clark Kent gives them is non-pareil because there aren’t too many people that can document the fact that they were there AND are still here. The 112 Pack’s highlight was the Air Max 1 shoe. I am killing myself that I didn’t camp out in Brooklyn for those. That pair would be even sicker than my AM-1 NL Black Cements that I copped from the ATL DunkxChange.

Clark should have won for his NIKE collabo on the Black Friday Air Force 1’s. These are definitely on some superhero status. People are still buzzing about these shoes. The materials are str8 banana beans. I jacked some pics from HowFresh’s website just to show you how mean these shoes are.

Peep that HowFresh went in to pose these kicks on a DJ rig.

The Black Friday AF-1’s are a monster shoe that deserved to win out over the ?uestlove Air Force 1’s but only time will tell which shoe the sneaker heads love more.

OSCAR GRANT III… Still Dead

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Justice? Still blind.

The internets newswire is buzzing around the resignation of the officer responsible for the handgun lynching of AMADOU DIALLO SEAN BELL OSCAR GRANT III. A protest in the Bay area turned ugly as the tensions are very raw and unrequited.

The officer was scheduled to answer questions from the internal affairs division of the Bay Are Rapid Transit police, but he opted instead for having his attorney submit a resignation letter. This is an odd choice for action from the officer especially since the BART influenced media machine was flying the story that the officer mistook his handgun for a handheld Taser pistol.

What is incredible to this point is all the video that people have captured from their communication devices. The quality and sound is rich and dramatic. I am posting one of the YouTube clips that recently surfaced. I wonder if we won’t see some manner of censorship placed on YouTube for allowing these types of videos to be posted.



I so badly wish that OSCAR GRANT had not been a Black kid because the real story is the rise of unadulterated and unaccountable fascism. The officer resigns from his job and sits in his home. I remember that NYC had a week of “hell nights” after the murder of SEAN BELL in the vain attempt to find another witness to corroborate the officers story of a fourth man. If there had been a fourth man in the car with SEAN BELL there would have been a fourth guy with bullets inside of his body. All the police did was kick in doors in the south Queens neighborhood and convince people to keep their mouths shut.

This is another execution of a poor person by another poor person. Except in this case the killer won’t have to be accountable for his crimes and a whole community is changed forever. Even though this story is repeated ad nauseam for Black males we have to see that this murder is the result of all the wrong values we are instilling within people. The police, the onlookers and the victims are all complicit for allowing this situation to exist and multiply. How do we remove this cancer from our collective bodies?

With a lot of pain.

Collectively.

Predictions For 2029…

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

space suit

I think I will zag while most people are zigging. I will still Zig-Zag in 2009, actually, I am doing more bonging and bowling. I never really zagged at all. Especially since the Gonzaga basketball team is affectionately nicknamed the ‘Zags in the mainstream sports media. White men can’t jump. My point is that I like to do shit different not just to do shit different but to do shit on a more futuristic level.

How many nickel and dime fools are talking about 2008 like that shit was all that? Nothing happened in 2008 that is gonna change shit in 2009, but in 2016 we will have the first woman president of the United States of America and that will bring all kinds of crazy shit into our lives. We won’t even hardly be listening to rap music by then. The kids will be listening to this crazy melding of country music, salsa and R-n-B that was created by WyClef, T-Pain and Taylor Swift during a threesome they had in Mexico.

If you hate auto-tune you might should kill yourself today. The hottest christmas present in 2010 was this cellphone that converts all voices into that robotix sound you hear next to the MySpace captchas. That shit is fresh homeys. The best part is that all the people with emphysema that have had their tracheas removed don’t feel so fucked the fuck up anymore when they speak in public.

In 2029 some of us celebrate the 20th anniversary of the demise of MTV. It was a tough pill for MTV to swallow in 2009 that upon turning 28yrs old they were irrelevant and laughed at for their vain attempts to control the younger and stronger YouTube and its cousins like MetaCafe, Kyte and Vimeo. That and the legions of disgruntled former Viacom employees who help found the indie artist music network called fMtv (I pray one of my friends copyrights this).

Thankfully there are still some things that harken back to the simpler years like 2008…

  • DMX is arrested weekly.
  • T.I.’s gospel music tops the charts.
  • Asher Roth is widely considered the greatest rapper of all time.
  • No female rap records are released, but Jean Grae wins an Oscar for her portrayal of Leslie Uggams.
  • Jay-Z and BeYonce admit to being married after she hires cryogenically frozen attorney Raoul Felder to file divorce papers.
  • XXL Columnist and iNternets Celebrity Billy X. Sunday dies in fiery bus crash in Cuba.
  • SEPARATED AT BIRTH: Iron Chic…
