Machine Gun Raps: Portishead’s “Machine Gun” (Zilla Rocca Remix)

According to Portishead producer Geoff Barrow, the group’s latest jaunt was purely influenced by old hip-hop: “Public Enemy, Marley Marl, EPMD, Flying Lotus and Madlib. So it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that Zilla Rocca decided to go in over III’s lead single, “Machine Gun.” The result is dazzling, a fast and furious stab over the beat’s cold industrial drums and Beth Gibbon’s ethereal banshee wail. Or as Rae so aptly put it on “It’s Yourz: “machine gun raps for all my n—z in the back.” Y’know the kind of stuff to listen to while rocking a fly jersey in the summertime, god.
