When I Get Back From Hell Again I m Gonna Be So Elegant the Relevance of My Benevolence Is Evident

Ironically, considering how they drop precisely zero quotables over Angles,* Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip* are more than capable of coming upwardly with stuff worthy of slapping some quotation marks effectually in interviews. Indeed, in a Metro commodity last calendar month 1 of them said, with direct face, "Sage Francis opened my mind to what hip-hop tin can be". Think about that for a second. It's an amazing statement, so curl it effectually your natural language for a while. Sage Francis is arguably the first recording artist ever to totally desert the idea of a black audition when recording hip-hop, plugging his stuff to the alt-rock excursion via Epitaph. To DLSvsSP, this represents a dauntless new dawn for the genre. Some would telephone call that racially bad-mannered. All I'm gonna say is that these two guys make rap music like they've been forced into recording it at gunpoint.

They plain don't care for, or care to engage with, rap music. Most people are gonna be aware of them solely from their novelty hit of last year, 'Chiliad Shalt E'er Impale', a list song that was presumably meant to serve equally John Cooper Clarke for the MySpace generation, merely sounded more than like Barenaked Ladies for the Old Blue Last crowd.

It was a bad song. Not solely through its audio, which was forgettable early 2000s hipster-hop, but the lyrical content. There was something sinister about a dude that looks like forgotten '90s comedian Phil Kay and his roly-poly chum holding forth on what urban music must practice in order to run into with their approval. Ii guys from the Essex commuter belt deciding that they have the right to ordain what does and does fall under the jurisdiction of the 'four elements of hip-hop'. The fact that rappers are obviously socially irresponsible for shouting out guns, but Johnny Greenbacks, who artsy more nines in his back catalogue than anyone with the possible exception of Bushwick Neb, is apparently beyond reproach. The fact that there are, apparently, people over the age of xv who actively enjoy listening to The Doors. It'south a song with a lot to take in, and all of it was reactionary garbage.

And they fifty-fifty carry on their weird-ass Jurassic 5-fan-from-1998 views on rap onto the rest of their recordings. 'Rapper'due south Battle', betwixt a beat that sounds like an Atari 2600 with gastric flu and an outro that reminds you why Kid 606 shot himself dead in 2004, runs exactly the same gamut of_ "I am intelligent suburban rapper, why can't the proletariat residual of hip-hop elevate themselves to my level?"_. It'south awkward, it's ugly, and you go the feeling in that location are greater political forces at play here.

They're not bigots though. They just suck donkey. Trying to find a good thought on this album is a challenge. Trying to observe a good idea executed well is akin to finding a Suicide Daughter that wasn't touched by her uncle as a child. Maybe to you, an extended metaphor comparing doomed dear to the career trajectory of an old-school comedian is something that should exist outside of the confines of a freshman creative writing seminar. If and then, congratulations, y'all can bump 'Tommy C' (sadly about Cooper, not Cannon) all day long. The rest of us are merely going to demand Solpadeine to become beyond one-third of this record.

It'd be nice to think the whole try is just a big quondam satire. It'd be nice to retrieve that the opening rails, 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped' (peachy movie, Blockbuster that shit ASAP), with its embarrassing bitching about "soulless music, artless lyrics" is some clever parody of pupil spousal relationship verse slams. Information technology'd be overnice to think that Scroobius Pip's inability to say any more than three syllables in a row without sounding like he's just run up 13 flights of stairs is a pastiche of clueless white-male child rappers who take no thought of what hip-hop is, and call back it's just a medium to crowbar their creepy worldview into vocal, regardless of melody or rhythm. It'd exist nice to think that the lines_ "When I become back from hell once more / I'm gonna be and then elegant"_ is said past someone with a glint in his centre. Information technology's not. These guys mean absolutely everything they say and practise on this record.

Existence as at that place are types of carcinogen that people enjoy more than Akira the Don albums, and that nobody can remember Jon The Whiteboy Rapper without recourse to months of suppressed memory therapy, it'due south hard to know what Lex – who put out 'Thou…' – were thinking of signing 2 guys who take gotten lost on the way from the student union verse slam. Ideologically, this is the worst album of the year. Musically, it'southward fifty-fifty poorer. Phone call it the beginning album in history that's catered specifically for the dudes who spend their days posting to the BBC'southward 'Have Your Say' forums. Then forget it ever existed.
