So your saying Brian Austin Greene’s dream of being a rapper isn’t quite as ridiculous as it sounds…

Worlds are being rocked, Jeff! Foundations are being destroyed…

First, I find out Tom Green was a successful rapper in Canada and now, Lil’ Scotty Caan was a rapper, too…

Sometimes I wonder if somewhere out there there’s this quasi-Marxist rap blogger who’s really mad at Alchemist for appropriating the underclass’s muzak. There’s got to be something written somewhere along these lines.

Scott Caan was a rapper?! Scott “Motherfucking Tweeder Lil’ Sonny Corleone” Caan”? Really?!

Yup, Beverly Hills. He and Scott Caan were in a Soul Assassins-affiliated rap group called the Whooliganz in the mid-90s. They were good too (for a pair of white, Jewish, rich teens).

Yes, this is because you made fun of my “plastic dream hair.” I spend hours each week deciding which alchemy of hair gels, sprays, shampoos and conditioner will get my coif lustrous and bouffant-like. You had to mock me and now you will pay.

Wait, the Alchemist is from Beverly Hills? Really?!

“I caught him in New York a few weeks back with Skinny Slim of the Philadelpyinz and Doc Zeus, who lived up to his name and threw temper tantrums and disguised himself as a swan (pause)”

Is this because I made fun of your plastic dream hair? I’m sorry, man. I can’t help it. I’m a hater. I’m in desperate need of therapy.

Gracias. I’ve listened to it on a loop and something just didn’t feel right. That said, it shits all over 95%* of everything else out there this year.

* – Scientifically accurate stat 80% of the time.

I’d be inclined to agree, the drums on the whole EP aren’t doing it for me. This song gets away with it, but grimy drums rarely hurt.

Great song, but I have a question. Is it just me or have the drums on recent ALC productions been rather weak? As always, the sample is chopped excellently, but I can’t shake the thought that shit would be better with harder hitting drums, like it used to be.
