I like Houston rap as much as the next guy. But sometimes a man enjoys Henroc out of a stryofoam cup instead of lean and sprite. Prodigy is home, and he is voting for Ron Paul like some sort of Q-Boro Vince Gallo. While I am not voting for Ron Paul this EP knocks.
I had a DJ Three tape I bought one of the first times I went to New York. MF Grimm had this great song about Emotions on it. His team had shoes made of ostrarich. The primary emotion was “fuck you”. This Lost In Translations tape reminds me of that song. More “Razerblade under the tongue” then “Hey, wait Bladerunner is kinda like living in NY.” The dystopia in the music was a product of the experience. Just because you have cancer you don’t have to tell me that radiation comes from machines. Sometimes your suffering, and alcoholism will suffice. 26.Prurient- Bermuda Drain
Until there is a PillowTalk full-lenghth this will do.
This is a really good album. I am just really mad at this album because of hearing “She Will” on the radio too many times.
I do not not hold “She Will” against Lil Wayne and it was on the Carter IV not Take Care. For some reason the idea of a sensitive artist reflecting on if a woman will jiggle her butt for him because he is famous creeps me the fuck out. Maybe it’s just makes me realize I am the only person male or female that doesn’t like strip clubs, or how women don’t mind combining money and sex. I bet whomever bought the most Steel Reserve at Occupy Wall Street was a polyamorous crust punk.
“She Will” is not on Take Care, which is a good album. I also like the Carter IV.
Envelope and Jacoti Sommes set-out to make a stripped-down, raw Hip Hop record inspired by early Wu-Tang’s zig-zag offness and analog warmness. Envelope’s skillset, and taste accidently caused This Could Go Either Way be sorta like if Heems worked with Clams Casino. Plus he is the only rapper from Columbus that was reviewed by Doug Mosurock or would even care to be.
Common linking up with Obama and getting defended by Jon Stewart, and N.O. ID being Kanye’s Mentor gave the Chicago pair the freedom to reunite and make a strong Hip Hop album.
Danny Brown said “fuck it I am about to hit 30. I can rock a grime accent and flow that will get me drugs and laid at the party then stop and bring it to some straight Detroit copper-stripping working class crime shit.”
What..if you frequented this blog then you had to see this coming?! Fear at Saturday Night Live. The Marshall Mathers LP. Waka Flocka Flame. Crass Banned From Roxburry.
For the past three years I have lived in the Monster House, a DIY punk house in Columbus, Ohio. I co-founded the Monster House with Pat Crann, Austin Eilbeck, Ryan Eilbeck, Jeff Love, Kristina Markey, Matt O’Conke, Joe Scarbro, Dylan Taylor-Lehman, and Nick Wong. A few weeks ago the last three original roommates – besides me – left. And, as of this week, I’m moving out as well. A group of our friends still living at the Monster plan to continue hosting shows and events. On October 8th, Apache Dropout, Landlord, Reverse The Curse, and Cody Troyan are performing there.
After “the jump” is a list of every performer who occasioned the “stage” at the Monster House in the last three years. 400 different performers have played over 150 shows booked by over 20 promoters. The list is representative of the Columbus punk scene as well as the national DIY touring circuit from 2007-10.
More than 30 people paid rent at the house during this time span.

Failures are a New York hardcore group that Mark Mccoy is a member of. Mark Mccoy’s label, Youth Attack, is the label that had the taste and foresight to add Columbus’ Vile Gash to its roster. VG is on this show, as is Nukkehammer and Indiana’s Raw Nerve.
Failures’ last album was a biting critique of the culture of mediocrity that is the norm in many sectors of American and Global society.
The record came complete with a manifesto that warned artists and creative types to be leary of blood sucking opportunists.
Go to this or don’t.
My neighbors put a lock on the wireless that I was stealing from them.
So I have not been able to update my blog.
So here is what Cam’ron action I missed.
In previous videos Cam sold drugs in Ohio after picking up the work in Chicago because he couldnt find employment.. The above video is the “I Got it For Cheap” (Prelude) has Cam paying back his supplier. Cam is met with a little rudeness. Which is kinda wack cause he brought his supplier an extra tenstacks. I guess his boss felt like Cam was showing him up or something.
The bottom video is the the actual clip for “I Got it for Cheap” (no pusha t)where Cam breaks down how good at selling drugs he is. And points out the results for this talent.
I guess he sells drugs in New Zealand(no dead c) and smokes blunts with Barack.
My favorite rap lyric of all time is “I ‘ma sell drugs to anyone in your damn family.” So I am completely in support of Winnipeg band Born Bad’s politics as listed on their myspace account. 80′s influenced hardcore that espouses the hatred of all things? Born Bad put out a record on Fashionable Idiots called Moron Music so it’s evident they are very good with titles and names.
Equally passionately unenthralled Vile Gash and CDR’s Night of Pleasure pretty much make this the best house show since maybe the Cult Ritual show awhile back.
Pictured above is Chris Ludsko of the Unholy Two, and Atmosphere producer Ant. Atmosphere showed up to So What Wednesdays at Cafe Bourbon Street after their show at the Newport. Somehow Chris Ludsko and Ant ended up being the last two doods in the bar. When its was explained to Ludsko that Ant may look like a creep similar, he is in fact and indie rap producer that has prolly sold a million records. Ludsko said “so the caption should be two hit makers.”
Because I was able to pick Ant out of a crowd, I do not possess the ability to describe Brooklyn’s Drunk Driver. I will say that I am way into the recent trend of band names like Drunk Driver, SexVid, and Eatskull that sound like weirdo hipster graffiti handles like Earsnot, Neckface, and Thug Mayor crica 2003.
Drunk Driver’s album is called Born Pregant.
Vile Gash will continue to wish Dyspareunia on us all.
The 3rd Annual Daymon Day happened last Saturday. People treated it like a holiday. They honored friendship, being welcoming, kind, exciting and adsurdly funny.
Early on Johnny Cashola played records. Which was cool of him cause he came straight from the Troy/OSU game to bring turntables and friends. But when Daymon’s family showed up, Funky D took over because songs with cursing didn’t seem appropriate. We all hugged the block. Funky D played old Soul and Motown. It made the block hug us back.
With vintage R+B permeating in the air; it was realized what could make old music relevant: playing it threw a large pa so it could be heard on the cities streets where the youth cavort. Wallrides to the Whispers?
When Envelope wasn’t talking to cops(about parade routes, and to build general rapport), he walked around with a megaphone, and made bantar at all pedestrians. He would ask a simple question. “Do you like parades?”
Ashley Brooks and friends brought candy. Mardi Gras in September, Bee.
Various people made variousDaymon influenced gear. IGLU’s Gary Dillion wearing a “No Homo” shirt referencing the below picture of Daymon.
I spraypainted my shoes Peanut Butter and Jelly Green. Daymon collected Chuck’s and was involved with the Grand Theft Auto joke.(q.what would be an obnoxious and an intolerable example of hip hop cultures influence on today’s youth ? a. a fake/joke gang who took their colors from a video game)
Franz of IGLU, T-Tops and Weedsteeler imitating Daymon’s “Credit Risk” shirt. Green once again in effect mode.
Kevin Merryman drew a Burning Man-esqe homage to Daymon.
Back to hugging the block. It continues to hug back.
Two random juggalos ran -up on us. This one had broken his hand after punching his fridge cause he was mad. They left to buy cigerettes, and came back to join the parade even though they didn’t know Daymon. My assumption is that the parade was prolly the only time outside of ICP events that anyone has ever been nice to them.
Afterwords,they said they are coming back every year.
Skaters, and a Benz line up to lead the way.
At some point there was a discussion about how the bulk of Daymon’s humor right now would be centered around having a crush on Sarah Palin.
Daymon’s Mom.
The Parade arrives at the Gay Street Festival. Loud and gregariously.
Vile Gash performs misanthropic anthems that entertain this crowd that gathered to celebrate friendship and community.
The Catalyst performs. He invited Dirtnap onstage to be his hype man with a bullhorm. Dirtnap was Racist Joe’s hype man. So Bo knows well.
Detox comes back on. Plays a Black Sabbath armed blend into “Crunk Music” by Dipset.
The Gay Street portion ends abruptly and appropriately when a group of hardcore kids could’nt contain themselves during the Fonoslut Remix of “Santana’s Town”. It’s Dipset chanted over “Nothing To Lose” by Killed In Action. The hardcore kids jumped up and down. Their weight caused cinderblocks to break.
Mayor Colemen/Katie Brennen at Tip Top.
The night ended with a dance party at Carabar. Danielle Kline repped pretty hard. She walked up to people, and would say, “I love you, no homo“. (note. no one is homophobic. The phrase is just ridic.) She later supplied me with water balloons which allowed me to make it rain literally during Cashola’s, and Detox’s sets.
There was an impromptu Envelope performance because two members of Weedsteeler managed to break bodyparts during the week. Envelope forgot his lyrics 4 times, and freestyled in the spirit of things.
Night ended with DJ Tru Skills turning Carabar into a discoteque.
All, and all people everyone I knew was a good-spirited, participatory, and hilarious. So Daymon Day functioned correctly.
If you are a human being and consider yourself someone who likes culture, art, music or anything….. Basically, if you like anything at all and aren’t a terrible unhappy person for chrissakes watch the above video. It’s of last year’s Daymon Day Parade. Even if you are a terrible, unhappy person still watch the above video because maybe it will brighten you day. Seriously watch the video.
Anyway, the 3rd Annual Daymon Day Parade is upon us honoring Racist Joe aka So What born Daymon Dodson. We also tip our hats to Przm, Camu Tao, Heist, Phrite, Nasty Nate and anyone else that has passed away. This isn’t just about Daymon. It’s about making something negative into a joyous moment. Your devotions will find a vehicle.
The parade is starting at 5th & High this year. We were unable to secure a permit for Tuttle Park like previous years. But the good people involvedwith the Gay Street Festival downtown were nice enough to extend a stage to us so people could gather outdoors after the parade.
On that stage will be performances by Youth Attack’s Vile Gash, and The Catalyst (ODOT/Thought Set) DJ Detox and Tru Skills will hold the alley down between acts. The festival is free.
So this year the parade starts at 5th and High. It leaves promptly at 6. Our good friends at Milk Bar have offered us space to assemble. We will have dejays set up there at around 4. Milk Bar isn’t a pretentious boutique. It’s also not a bar. So kids are a ok. So everyone please feel comfortable.
Anyway. Columbus loved Daymon. Parades are fun. Walking in the middle of High Street during a game day only comes once a year. So even if you didn’t know Daymon you can feel free to show up. He made everyone at ease when he was out. So it’s that spirit that will be in place. It’s about enjoying life. Bring an instrument or drum to make noise. We are trying to have a marching band. If the marching bad turns out either atonal like a No Wave performance or as fluid as a New Orleans funeral band regardless it will be tremendous.
Here are a couple MP3′s by the artist performing after the parade. They are abrasive but fitting for this paticular legacy of Columbus Music.
