Tumblin' Erb: SOME SAY I'M INSANE CAUSE I MARRIED A DEAD HORSE  → tumblinerb.com

tumblinerb:

For those of you who don’t read Tumblr Notes, here are 13 choice flips of the Halloween theme that folks posted yesterday:

  • Brotha Lynch Hung - “Halloween” (Black Market, 2002; via Funkyassdicegame)
  • Dayton Family - “Dope Dayton Ave.” (Po’ Broke 1994; via Heletwitta)
  • Dog House Posse…

To this excellent list, I would only add J.R. Writer’s “Y’all Ain’t Ready”.

“Not infant shoes, when I say the boy stay in some booties, just like infants do”

“I can’t help the poor if I’m one of them,” raps Jay-Z on The Black Album, though Ronald Reagan may as well have been his ghostwriter. In this way, the “God MC” is actually more like a thugged-out Michael Steele, a black man who profits personally by lending the illusion of diversity to a system that ignores and exploits poor people of all colors. Is it really surprising that Steve Forbes would put Jay-Z on the cover of his magazine?” —

Thomas Williams on the inherent conservatism of hip-hop, The Root.

I don’t know about the thesis, but I agree with him when it comes to Jay-Z, especially w.r.t. his role in the Atlantic Yards project.

“

Violent J turns to him and says, softly, “If we moved furniture for a living we’d have a bad back or bad knees. We think for a living. We try to create. We try to constantly think of cool ideas. And every once in a while there’s a breakdown in the engine… I guess that’s the price you pay.”

Shaggy nods quietly. “I get anxiety and shit a lot,” he says. “And reading that stuff people write about us… It hurts.”

” —I will say this, while Ronson tries to make them seem more relatable, he still insists on calling them Violent J and Shaggy — even though we know he knows their gov’t names — which introduces a bit of humor to reading sentences like the ones above. It’s all done with a wink and an elbow in the side. Ronson’s making fun of them, too.

“

“No,” sighs Violent J. “I figured most people would say, ‘Wow, I didn’t know Insane Clown Posse could be deep like that.’ But instead it’s, ‘ICP said a giraffe is a miracle. Ha ha ha! What a bunch of idiots.’” He pauses, then adds defiantly, “A giraffe is a fucking miracle. It has a dinosaur-like neck. It’s yellow. Yeah, technically an elephant is not a miracle. Technically. They’ve been here for hundreds of years…”

“Thousands,” murmurs Shaggy.

” —Jon Ronson’s profile of ICP for the Guardian is full of gems like this. Read the whole thing.
