Snacks and sh*t

Thanks to my lovely friends I was introduced to the perfect website for those who truly enjoy the absurdity in hip-hop lyrics these days. The blog "Snacks and Shit" compiles absurd and (unfortunately) real rap lyrics, states the artists, and follows them up with humorous commentary. The website is updated rather frequently and there is a twitter account linked to it as well that is updated each time they add a new post. In addition to the hyperlink I tagged above, I have also added the website under my "People with stuff to say" section found along the right side of this website.

A sample of what can be found on Snacks and Shit:

"Watch me make a movie like Albert Hitchcock."
- Pitbull, 1, 2 3, 4 I Know You Want Me

Who's Albert Hitchcock? Is that Alfred Hitchcock's idiot brother?

"Don't holler at me unless money is the topic."
- Nipsey Hussle, Hussle Is My Last Name

Friend: Hey what time is it?
Nipsey: What did we talk about?
Friend: Oh, that's right. Sorry. Umm... What time is it right now at the bank?
Nipsey: Ten after two.

If that isn't enough to entice you to check out the site then I don't know what is. But for those who get a little laugh there are hundreds more just like that and you can entertain yourself for hours going through the lyrics these guys have compiled on their site.

Eminem's back. Seriously.

Whether or not he cranked it up because he knew he was falling off, Eminem has got his formula right again. This album would be the perfect follow up to the Marshall Mathers LP. It turns out the singles were a nice big "Ef You" to the record label, the annoying nasaly accented voice appears almost nowhere else on the album outside of those singles. But the true mastery shows itself in the lyrics.

Back are the offensive, brilliantly crafted lyrics that depict in detail the most macabre stories possible and it couldnt have come sooner. Rap needed this face lift, and i PROMISE Em deserves his place back on the throne.

And the final 5 songs are a prelude to Relapse 2. God save us when that comes, because those songs are as good as any Em has released in his career.

Dear Em, Please Stop using that voice...

Eminem has released his second single from relapse, "3am." Lyrically the content is much better than "We Made You" although admittedly its pretty messed up as it looks into the mind of a psychotic killer. The music video is even more messed up. But all I can think about as I listen to it is how much better it COULD have been if Eminem had just used his regular voice, rather than the parody voice he's used on his past handful of singles. The dark song sounds more like a joke as his pisses his nasaly voice all over it.

Take a look at the video (in all seriousness it is not an MTV video. It contains a fair amount of disturbing shit. Just a heads up).

I like everything about the video/song EXCEPT his voice. I hope these first two singles are flukes and he uses his real voice on the rest of the album. Time will tell.
