Homeliss Derilex – “Fuck You”
There was this thing about the 90s that I remember…. and can only really post-conceptualize today: the film and music industry took a turn for the violent and vulgar in a very mainstream way, i.e. Tarantino dialogue, movies about strippers and junkies. There were endless crappy nu-metal bands that had to rely on cussing as a means of selling plastic jewel cases to their target demographic: twelve-year olds. So here’s some bay area hip hop from ‘94 that reflects said mentality (aside from how vulgar that whole west coast ‘thug life’ philosophy was getting in that same year).

The Stooges – “T.V. Eye”
I don’t think you need me to tell you anything about The Stooges. Infamously influential Michigan act. Godfathers of Punk, Metal and Music in general. Apathetic dope rock to break stuff too, fronted by the permanently tweaked Iggy. Get your mandatory Stooges freebee here.

Blacastan – “The Dice Life”
Hartford, CT. Blacastan spent the ’90s in jail, and spent the ’00s rapping. This is some savage prime cut East Coast styled lyricism. Less slap, more brutality, cold feel, not warm. Now, note Blacastan’s affinity for Sabbath. Sick isn’t it? He probably has an inner-hesher layer to his psyche that he can only speak to behind the screens, in the backstage area, because the idea of an East Coast hesher hip-hopper just sounds too sick.
