Savages and savants. I'll have that knowledge and wit with a pinch of love and anger.
A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario
For Phife Dawg of course:All that and then some; short dark and handsome
Bun B + Killer Mike + Cuz Lightyear - Savage Habits
Anything with Killer Mike on receives a lent ear from me these days. "Me, I'm a warrior and boy, that should worry you" is such a brilliantly simple line. Also really loving the dynamics of this chorus. Let it percolate for a while and you'll find yourself shouting along to whatever it is they actually chant.
Chester Watson - Pharaoh
Someone's been listening to a lot of Doom and Earl Sweatshirt. But no matter if you can keep level with them! This whole album is quite astounding when it comes to both beats and rhymes
Dumb it down so I don't come off a verbal grenadier
Bo Ningen - Nichijyou
Went to the gig of the year. How could it be otherwise when these Japanese madmen are the opening act? A mezmerising show, that still got even better when...Savages - Adore
...one of the best live bands I've ever seen came on. I bounced around like a pinball in the moshpit, and then Jehnny Beth climbed out into the audience, and stopped with one foot on my left shoulder while singing a verse of Hit Me. By the time they played Adore I was drenched with sweat and swaying on my legs, and then everyone clenched their fists at the crescendo and never mind pretensions... I adored life.
