The Hybrid(Solar Bars)

Im the first to breakfast late for dinner
Flow so hot im sorta like incenarator
Hater none greater
Than the urban dictator
Spit like new jack city wedding caterer
Brown like the prince of arabia
The last dragon your eddie arcadian
Im negotiating like chris sabin
U on some gay shit like les nubians
Im in the new b.m. playing brand nubian
What I am is a new being
Not a martian nor human im hybrid
Open ya eyelids
U might miss something like a
Phenomenom
Far from a honest john
Used to slang for weeks without degree under my underarms
I can go on and on
Rocks in my long johns
U were wearing cumberbuns on yo way to prom
I was chopping like lumberjacks
Clutch ya girls pom poms
Nigga u a puss puss
I beat u like a tum tum
Mush u for kush
And blow it wit ya baby moms
And I aint got to tell u cause u know just where I come from

Im a Hybrid
SOLAR BARS!!!

Im the first to breakfast late for dinner
Flow so cold im sorta like polar
Solar system planet neptune
Black like car fumes
Colors like cartoons
They say Danny Brown "boy u a fool"
"Where u get them shoes"
Look nigga don't remember
Shop so much everyday like December
Wrapping up the chronic while I open up a 5th
My bitch a bad girl she don't get no gifts
She just get froze
She just get snow
She just get my dick hard under missletoe
I know its fucked up that's ya little sister bro
She gotta fat ass that's just how this shit go
Watching anchorman she go down slow
Oh Oh

Now run tell that like martin lawrence stand up
No this aint a robbery but nigga get yo hands up
Like yo granny at church when the preacher said stand up
She said
"Oh lord please help my grandson get up out the basement and find his self a job"
"Find a nice girl so he can quit jacking off
"And leaving white stains allover my new towels"
Ow Ow

Im a Hybrid

Now there's a whole story that goes along with the album
But that's a whole another blog
But I will have that to you on the 1st of november

So check back to for the sneak preview

The Hybrid

I bring to you, my adoring audience, the top four rap/hip-hop albums (of all time…maybe).  Although the list changes frequently, this should give a pretty effective register of where I am currently at:

1). MM Food by MF Doom (yes, its an anagram)

 

This album provides a really great starting point.  I have to place Doom and his work on this record at the very top of the list.  Stylistically, this rapper is off the charts.  In the game, there are very few that could possibly construct rhymes as complicated or meaningful as those that Doom spits.  Unfortunately, proponents of ”intelligent rap” generally overlook Doom in favor of the ultra-predictable Talib/Mos Def combo.  Whay happened to Brooklyn’s finest?  I enjoy both of these artists and their creative collaborations, Black Star especially, but in terms of method and construction MF Doom is in an entirely different layer of strata.  Do your research kids….there is more out there.

I think my interest in this artist ultimately stems from his concern for the thematics of each album.  Take MM Food, for instance.  The album comes packaged in a candy wrapper, and features song titles such as “Beef Rap,” and “Vomit Spit.”  Obviously, Doom talks about his enjoyment of food and beer, but he talks about so much more.  He uses the topic of a potholder as a means of discussing ascension from poverty.  “Beef Rap,” at least partially, discusses the subtleties  of the rap battle.  Though other rappers attempt a certain thematic approach, as is usually indicated by the title of each album (for some reason I’m thinking of Ludacris’ Red Light District - horrible example, I know), I find that Doom’s attention to this issue remains unparalleled.  Not to mention, the man “wears a mask like retarded-helmet.” 

2). Hot Soup - Danny Brown

I purchased this album for five dollars about two or three months ago from Nick Speed, the man behind the beats.  For those of you familiar with 5057 Woodward, he works in the snack shop downstairs.  Anyways, this is probably one of the best purchases that I’ve made in a long time (actually, it was more of a donation).  Though some of the lyrics are really generic, I find that overall the album is a nice Detroit production.  The beats are incredibly strong and the flow is generally pretty good.  And, it seems that I’m not the only one noticing.  Two months ago nobody had really heard of Brown.  Now, members of Tour Detroit, a popular Detroit DJing collective, are playing it at appearances from Detroit to the Elbow Room in Ypsilanti.  It blows Big Guv, a more well known Detroit rapper, right out of the water. 

The most appealing aspect of this album is his attention to locale and geography.  I find that I like rappers right before they hit it big.  There is always an attentiveness to the little things in the initial albums.  He discusses the streets that he drives down, the products that he buys, and the places that he goes in Detroit.  When rappers hit the mainstream and attain a certain level of success they tend to lose this appeal; they lose the specificity in favor of the generic.  I like songs that emphasize the local; that which is familiar.  This is the appeal of Stretch Money, and Obie Trice.  This is the appeal of Danny Brown, at least currently. 

3). Bobby Digital - The RZA

What can I say that hasn’t already been said.  This album, in conjunction with the Wu-Tang Manual, is probably one of the best examinations of the alter-ego.  It is, as I understand it, the debut of the second alter-ego.  Just as Robert Diggs became the RZA, the RZA eventually became Bobby Digital.  Also, this marks the shift from analog to digital.  What is it that necessitated the progression/evolution?  What is appealing about the identity that the RZA constructs for himself?  The RZA wrote in the Wu-Tang Manual that the environment he grew up in, the rough burroughs of New York, encouraged the transformation.  I love listening to this album, if only, that I am allowed the opportunity to witness this transformation…the reasons…the details.  Also, it provides me the opportunity to consider my own alternative identity.  How does technology influence the ascension of the jargoncomputer? 

4) Illmatic - Nas

I guess I should start off by saying that I really don’t like Nas’ work after this album, his first major debut.  His style became slower, he lost the aggression that peaked during his early career, and his statements lost the detail and depth.  For me, this cover really represented Illmatic well.  The childhood photo appears over hazy city streets.  Nas took control of these sometimes elusive streets in his lyrics, he described them lucidly, and yet it was never as though he was there master  - He didn’t really control them as much as they shown through him. 

What manifested was not so much a proclamation of the joys of the drug/violence game, something which other rappers lauded at the time, but rather, fear.  Yes, I think this album is all about fear.  I think Nas’ talent in this album relied upon his anxiety.  I imagine him worrying about the album.  Once he became a success I feel like he lost this anticipation, and thus, his appeal

Danny Brown

If home is where the heart is, my heart is a smoke-filled bar on a dark street in Detroit where only half the streetlamps burn and arteries of beats pump Hip-Hop heads in through its doors.

About a week ago I was sitting on the edge of the stage at Alvin’s in the D as Black Milk, Big Tone, Nick Speed and 14KT unleashed hours of retarded beats, in a producer showcase hosted by House Shoes. The bass had empty Corona bottles bouncing on tables, and mixed drinks had those Jurassic Park rings the size of ocean waves vibrating in plastic cups. Phat Kat, Invincible and Buff1 all mingled in the crowd, mean-mugging the cuts with everyone else. This is the heartbeat and lifeblood of Detroit.

But what made that night a standout wasn’t all the familiar faces, but rather a young MC I’ve been hearing about – Danny Brown. Dude has seemingly come from nowhere with banger after retarded banger circulating on mixtapes that the D has already committed to memory.

It’s like Hip-Hop manifested him to fill a thirsty void. Like rap divined him, and it was good.

Nick Speed has been lacing Danny Brown nasty for a minute, and their shit just makes sense together like French fries and milk shakes. So when Speedo dropped the beat on “Whatupdoe” at Alvin’s, and Danny picked up the mic… well… shiiit … I wish you were there too.

Danny Brown says things other rappers say; he just says it better. He’s hilarious, fresh and rejects recycled metaphors. Most of his verses start like he’s mid-thought, and rarely does he catch it on the 1 – as though he walked into a double-dutch and just stared jumping his ass off while other MCs are still on the side doing that little waiting-for-the-right-moment swing.

Danny Brown’s not careful, he’s brash and calculated. He’s the antidote to any squishy, snuggly, hipster-hop you might find to be a bit “light in the loafers,” © Gotty. He maintains a crossover appeal for Corona clubs, smoke-filled bars and darkened streets with only half the lamps burning.

And he just came out with his first full-length, Hot Soup . Give it a spin.

L.C. Weber

Its finally here so im gonna give yall a rundown of Hot Soup

Level 1-The intro is just a horn section it reminded me of some super hero shit so when u hear those horns know that's like my theme............ me entering

Dance- This is a straight party track but I didn't want to give you the standard lyrical content in a dance song so I kept it on some open mic shit some battle rap shit and the hook is inspired by Rock Bottoms "aint nothing but a party" this is my moms favorite song on the album...this is like our afrobeat/funk

What Up Doe- This song is the one that started it all recorded this july 4th of last year in queens at fire and ice studios speed played me the beat and I came up with the hook off rip not realizing it was juan atkins "transplant" I was raised off that song so this is are ode to ghetto tech aka hood techno I wrote those verses in jail so it was crazy how that song came about.....what up doe is the way we greet each other in the d...f.y.I.

Ten G's a Week- This song reminds me of a old school back in the day card playing party where yo peoples getting blowed listening to the classics.....Speed made the beat and I had that song off a beat that I produced and Speed beat was similar so I just used that song over that beat and it came out way better the hook is inspired from Mc Breeds "aint no future in yo fronting" this is our soul song

Sitting so High- This is another one recorded from that july 4th session last year this is like the White Stripes doing arena rock this is how it will sound production wise so I had to keep it extra niggerish it also takes element from Eminem I approached that song thinking if Em was black still in the hood in the d he would make this song so this is our garage rock meets arena rock meets Eminem

Swagger to the Max- This is our Marvin Gaye/Motown tribute the song is really just a stunting song letting niggas know how fly I am but if u take a close listen to the 2nd verse the song turns to "what's goin on" by Marvin Gaye............. I had to drop some jewels

Succeed- This is more so a concept song I call myself "the detroit city broadcaster" and that's just what this song is the news its almost chilling some what but that's what this is.............. the news

She Love It- This is Me and Nick Speed trying to be Snoop and Dre....lol......he sampled Raymond Scott and blended it with Trigger Man its a unconventional way to make a club record so that's what it is the hip hop kids making a club record with samples and blends that so........hip hop

Head- This song is about all those ladies that's having a hard time living in this city and they just wanna get away this is my ode to Slum Villiage and the beat is by Quelle one of my favorite producers right now he said he sampled Sesame Street for this..........sick

Squeeze Precisely- This song is from that july 4th session also to me it felt like a Biggie track so I got influenced off a freestyle he kicked on a Funkmaster Flex mixtape so I channeled him in my own little weird way but it features Rapper Pooh of Little Brother and his homey O-Dash so good looking North Carolina

Gun in yo Mouf- This shit is abstract hip hop at his finest this is us just trying push the limits on our creativity its one of the hardest songs in hip hop history in my opinion I was at Speeds crib one day and he loaded a beat up with the wrong programs and that's what happened soon as I heard it I told em I got something he was like "off that this shit aint even a beat" so I went in on it Chips hopped on Marv heard it and wanted in and its a classic

Resevor Dogs- This is me and my crew having fun on a parliament influenced track blended with a old Big Daddy Kane joint this us just going in block party style

Lets Go- This is me giving props to Blade Icewood somebody who was took to soon from us also this is me trying to do my best J Dilla impression imagine Blade off a Dilla beat.........here it is

Two Steps Back- This is what happens when u watch t.v. To much I got inspired from that hook watching commercials one night and wrote the versus up late watching infomercials just me letting my emotions out this is our ballad

Work Song- This song is in no way a diss to the artist mentioned in it nor a diss to Atlanta its just niggas out here talking this drug shit and im tired of it u got little niggas thinking that's the only way to get money when this world is bigger than that its really just game spitting like telling these little niggas like this is how it is out here..........Don't believe them niggas
