10 Reasons Why You Should Go See The Knux, Clean Guns & Wallpaper Tonight

10. In conjunction with The Knux’s performance, we will be serving fresh cappuccino’s with mocha twists.

9. Because Nico the Beast, 1/2 of Clean Guns nearly beat up the fake Spiderman on Hollywood Blvd today. While the details of the altercation remain murky, the phrase, “I will destroy you, you 38 pound bag of bones!” was heard.

8. Because Wallpaper cannot possibly be as boring as actual wallpaper. (Statement does not apply to habitual LSD users.)

7. For the sheer ironic pleasure of using the phrase, “Hell Ya,” at a night promoted by Hell Ya. You guys like irony, right. Please don’t answer that question.

6. Because The Knux’s video for “Cappuccino” reminds me of Class Act and lo and behold, today on Hollywood Blvd I saw none other than Christopher Reid, aka Kid o’ Kid N’ Play. Obviously, this is the sign (no Ace of Base.)

5. Because Wallpaper might be the hardest band in the entire country to locate via “Google Search.” However, thanks to this peculiar quirk of nomenclature, I can safely report that wallpaperbase.com is a fantastic source of military wallpaper.

4. Because I will be there. Probably drunk. Probably making all sorts of outlandish claims that may or may not include: inventing the javelin, transforming the world of traditional iron smelting, and pioneering, “the remix.”

3. Because I watched Nico the Beast and Zilla Rocca kick freestyles today that were better than 92 percent of “underground rapper’s” written material. On a side note, if any grainy footage ever surfaces of me participating in said freestyles, rest assured that it is not actually me and instead it is the work of my twin brother, Pierre, a man who moves in unsavory French circles.

2. Because the “Cappuccino Remix” that dropped yesterday might be better than the original and dare I say it, reminds me an awful lot of Southernplayalistic-era Outkast.

1. Because if you download the three songs below and don’t like at least one of them, you are probably cursed to a life of hate, pestilence and mirthlessness. On the bright side, that qualifies you for citizenship in at least four ex-Soviet republics.

  1. I can’t be afford to be cursed with a general mirthlessness since I’ve already been afflicted with a life long malaise. Damn me being born in 1975 and actually listening to 8 tracks, records and tapes before living through the two Golden Era’s of Hip Hop and the Backpacker Era!

    “The Grind” is making my next Fat Tape/CD-R, let Zilla know to look out for it next week cuz he made last weeks’ too.

    One.

  2. This event sounds extra gay and retarded.

    So does Lil Wayne but that hasn’t stopped him from being the most popular rapper in the world.

  4. That Cappucino shit is the fucking business How did I not know about these guys til yesterday?! I’m so fucking pissed off.

  5. “(no Ace of Base)” - Sure, that’s what you say now, but you know that in 10 years or so when terrible commercial Eurohouse becomes cool we’re all gonna be sweating it like Giorgio Moroder and the Salsoul Orchestra.

    And Cappucino sounds like a lost outtake from “Aquemini” = yes. thanks.

  6. not big on the beat (i’ve been brainwashed too much by select Top 40 rap clearly) but that hook is pretty amusing. as is the classic “Jimmy like Iovine” line

  7. SICK ASS SHOW LAST NIGHT.

    Big ups to Clean Guns and The Knux. Unfortunately, I didn’t stick around for the third act. But I got my fill.

  8. lol @ the whole lil wayne comment…
    someone tried to post something similar on my blog (http://almostalist.com), so i had to set them straight too. i don’t know, the knux has a pretty old school style to them, and in the hip hop/rap world of today, they just don’t “cut” it. but seeing as im a huge old skool fan, im totally loving it! :]

  9. Lol @ this post. Hip Hop has a future I just wonder whether it’ll be given a chance.

  10. […] things first, there was that show that I may have hyperbolically waxed about (coincidentally, hyperbolic waxing is also a new hair removal service gaining real traction […]
