Die!
Ah, I missed Necro. After mixing Deathmetal and Rap to the apathy of both Rap and Deathmetal fans, this is a return to form. Maybe more of a return to formula. Like most of his stuff there’s some crap, some medicorce and a bit of gold. There are some signs that he’s running out of material, especially the lame ass titles, ‘asBESTos’, ‘The Human Traffic King’ (Actually that one’s pretty good considering.) And the, what kind of pun is he going for ‘Kink Panther’ (!?) Kink panther is awesome though, and starts with my favourite porno skit/into I’ve heard in ages (since a different necro album i guess), the accents are amazing, It’s impossible to work out what country they are from, it’s just porno world.
For me ‘Set it’ and another (what is he aiming for?), pun title ‘The Thugstore Cowboy’ (The thugstore called, They’re running out of me!) are highlights. My favourite track at the moment is ‘ViVa Necro’ Which has everything which is awesome about Necro encapsulated in it. The production/sample is amazing. The lyrics are equally funny and lame (‘Kick your ass like Zohan’ – Picturing a fat ass Necro, sat on his couch laughing to Zohan ruins his badass/evil pimp persona for me.) My favourite thing about this song, is that it just seems wrong that he is chanting ‘Viva Necro’ – I mean usually your minions or admirers do that for you. Other highlights are the ludicrous and self aggrandizing way he says ‘Nercooo!’ at the beginning of the track. Also the nothing actually wrong with it, but somehow intrinsically ridiculous line; ‘I walk with a BOP!’ makes me laugh every time.
DL album here;
NB, Deleted the kid Joe skit ‘bedbugs’ why anyone would think that belongs on an album is beyond me.
PS I think a ‘Best of Necro’ would be a five star classic and a ‘Worst of Necro’ would be unlistenable shite. What tracks would you put on a Best of album of his...
I will have to check this out. I d/l'd it on James's recommendation a while back but I got one of those annoying promo versions that says shit all over the top so I never gave it much of a chance.
ReplyDeleteI love the loop in Kink Panther, but I find the Rick James sample on the chorus weird and off-putting.
Even an absolute best of Necro I couldn't really ever recommend to anyone. It's just all so wrong. Asides from some of the obvious ones I'd put on there - I listened to the track Street Veterans the other day and forgot how great it is.
My theory - I think the "I walk with a bop!" is so funny because he has decided, for whatever unfathomable reason, to emphasize that line massively, dropping the beat as he says it.
PS - yeah, he really should have got someone else to sing the hook on this song!
ReplyDeleteLegit lols listening to this album on the way into work this morning.. some really funny lines.
