Fondle ‘Em Records stars the Arsonists move over to Matador,
\nwhich has released some excellent hip-hop, proving they don’t just
\nwanna know about Modest Mouse and Pavement. This crew kills the
\nfakers, and make Eminem’s style sound empty (even though they do
\ncompliment him on “As the World Burns”), and extremely corny.
\nEminem: the white rapper, who makes it okay for caucasian kids to
\nact black in Utah, and proceed like the blonde-haired, blue-eyed,
\nAryan sensation would. Elvis got popular the same way — by
\nappropriating a whole ‘nother culture that he
\nreally<\/i> wasn’t part of, no matter
\nwhere<\/i> he grew up, or
\nwho<\/i> he hung out with.<\/p>\n
I read an interview recently with Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.
\nInside he was discounting the accusations by some, that meatheads,
\nin particular, seem drawn to his band’s zero-intelligence
\nmeanderings, and base, third-grade-drop-out consciousness. His
\nexcuse was that in high school the bullies beat him up. Yeah, now
\nthey give you high-fives in the front row! “You ain’t hardcore cuz
\nyou spike your hair when a jock still lives inside yer head!” (The
\nDead Kennedys) Read into that, please, Fred. Or have someone read
\nit for you.<\/p>\n
While he gets
\nHooked on Phonics<\/i>, the Arsonists leave everything in their
\npath smoldering. “I’m a human microphone, and my lyrics the vocal
\nchords.” There are lots of really funny sound effects on this
\nrecord that would normally be over-dubbed as substitutes on the
\n‘clean version’ for fu!% or sh*@ or ni&^a. Instead, they’re
\nflourishes to normal phrases, and you get to where you realize the
\nArsonists are approaching
\nmusique concrete<\/i>, with found sounds blazing (Literally. See
\n“Blaze”) the path, and bringing hip-hop into a new millennium.<\/p>\n
The best quotes here: “Gotta stop smokin’ MC’s. Somebody pass me
\nthe Nicorette.” Or “You’re a pervert jerkin’ off to porno’s of me
\nand your moms.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":26437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[6887],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-37670","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-arsonists","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37670"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=37670"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=37670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
