I love The Beatnuts. Not lyricall advanced, extremely violent and misogynistic...but they're hip hop. I loved Kid N' Play at the same time I loved Eazy E's "Eazy Duz It" tape, IT WAS ALL HIP HOP TO ME AND THERE WAS A BALANCE. That balance is gone now, no kid that likes Young Jeezy is listening to Immortal Technique...the game done changed. One.

very true....

so what happens now?

will lyrism ever make a comeback, or is the TRL/top 40 transformation of rap complete? if so, what to do? continueing making solid records for a diehard audience is not a bad fate, no? jazz cats have done it for years...

Is he gonna get away with calling a track Spazz Out?

Will be interesting to see if that's cut from the final album, or re-edited.

Yeah, "Spazz Out" is a hip hop term that been used since the 80's along with "Gettin' Dumb, Get Retarded, Wild (Whyle) Out, etc". It's still used in that context...but hip hop does use "Spazz" in the "You are a spazz" context...only "If this bouncer fronts on me and he KNOWS I'm the opening act tonight then I'm gonna fuckin' spazz on him!" context. One.

Yeah - I know. Similar to the use of "retarded"... doesn't really translate well in certain other countries.

yeah and as far as I can see Spazz does not have such a strong negative context in the US, it's more of a lighthearted insult, you'll hear ppl say it on TV etc.

There's a kinda bad quality 'listening' version available here

http://www.hiphopgame.com/index2.php3?page=tracks1

scroll down a little on the audio, it's just after the "May Demo Of The Month' section.

I especially like the bit where Meth goes
'Cos ( in ) New York we wearing, um, socks n Timbalands,
cos we ain't feelin them flip-flops, they feminine-um"

The idea that he's well over 30 and still cussing people for wearing flip-flops makes me very happy.

It's a Jay Z diss, isn't it?

I think that line's a bit weak, personally. The tune is good overall, though. The beat carries it.

Yea, they're goading him back into action. That line really made me laugh, it's like, how old is Meth now? And still dissing someone for wearin flip-flops? please. I like Fat Joe on that, he's so weird, sometimes he rocks shit and other times he's totally off.
