XNILLINX

Some quick, some slightly-old-but-still-goooood linx to get off my chest before they go bad -

* Sergdun of So Many Shrimp, "Yeah that's right bitches fuck this hiphop blog bullshit it's all about Twisted motherfucking Sister," hilarious -

I still got hard as fuck songs like Burn In Hell where Dee Snider tells you how he lives his life by the edge of a knife because he's so fucking gangsta with it. Or Street Justice where Dee Snider fights for the child that screams late at night, he's a goddamn superhero. Just the concept that these cockrock motherfuckers were suppose to be scary is fucking awesome to me...

* Speaking of digital hilarity, thanks to Alexis for tipping me off to the secret bloglife of a friend of ours who writes the amazing Talkin Videos blog for SOHH, a man known to the interworld only as RON MEXICO.  I knew the dude was funny in real life, but I had no idea that it was even possible to be this funny on the internet -  

CHG and the Unfadable Records camp have reached new lows in the realm of posing. How can you stand there and take yourself seriously when you’re bopping around like you just learned English and have only seen music videos from the early 90’s? His crew looks like they get swirlies back at school. Who’s the kid in the white vest? Nigga look like Cassidy with Carlton Banks’ gear on...

This may be the worst song and beat I’ve heard all year. It sounds like he chopped and screwed the water level from Super Mario Bros.

In all fairness, CHG is from Belgium, but Ronnie Mexxx did not get where he is today by not being absolutely merciless.  Pretty awesome comments crew, too, well played!

* R-Mex likes soon-to-be-famously dope white boy Paul Wall alright (even though "He looks like Jason Kidd... no wait... He looks like Jason Kidd's son all grown up! (Having kind of grown into his head)"), but Al/Government Names is NOT DOWN WITH WALL, at all - anymore - 

that change, eventually. moving to the southside and shouting 5-9 southlea in the videos. and forsaking his relationship with cham to conveniently jump back to swishahouse right before watts got a few million dollar checks. now paul rolls strictly with atl moneymakers, new york clowns and his hired goons...

the change. this overexcited repping for houston, first. paul, you sip barre now? you ride 84s now? you been jamming grey tapes since you were in junior high now? you cool with z-ro and big po-yo and rap-a-lot now? dropping his slopped up slowed down albums, pimping robert davis worse than watts ever did. jam that u gotta feel me by pauly and you can picture dj screw spinning very slowly in his casket.

second, that thing where he thinks he's alright to start talking about coke and guns now. listening to those t.i. albums and seeing rappers get gangsta when they blow up out of houston. paul? scared to cuss and now you hang with those 5-9 bloods? you stay with a semi-auto now? you want to go there now?

He scores some real points, though I can't really blame Waww or anyone else for catching a ride on the Swishahouse gravy train to H-town commodification.  Good exchange in the comments with Houston ambassador So Real So Nzala.  And Ste Vee has a gloriously  TOTALLY NOT GONNA BE UNPACKED ARGUMENT about it, also a downloadable syrupy-sweet treat from one of those Paul Wall/Chamillionaire screwtapes - you know, from the old days.

* Speaking of videos and Houston, Catchdubs links to the cool-lookin new Slim Thug video for "I Ain't Heard of That," featuring Bun B and, lurking scarily in the background, producer Pharrell's fucked up teeth!!  Which reminds me, I have to go to the dentist to get some 'work' done in like an hour, FUUUUCK

* Rupture links to this snootily excellent blog, Short Wave Music, which is "not a hi-fidelity Westernized "world music" experience" but instead has lots of interesting, often anonymous, heavily-not-American recordings from short wave broadcasts.  Lots of nice static and radio sounds, too -
