SPANISH GUITAR FILES: DEATH EDITION
THE LAST EMPEROR & POETIC - "ONE LIFE"
95% of the time, Spanish Guitars are used to evoke a sense of pathos in the listener. On "One Life," ex-GRAVEDIGGA Poetic confronts the ultimate horror: slow, painful death. Sign of the times: poptimism has established such hegemony in critical discourse that traditional underground rap is hopelessly out of style. Catch me crying into my notepad at the Scribble Jam revival.
A-WAX, WOODIE, B-DAWG - "A REBEL'S PRAYER"
This one's for the boyz choppin meth in the trailer park. Jersey game on flex, Woodie spittin that realness for all you sheeple. His stilted delivery sounds like a parody of a white guy rapping or EMINEM in Dr. Demento novelty-song mode, yet his white-trash pain was real. Woodie offed himself in 2007. Rap Game William Cooper.

Damn what's the deal with that gravediggaz album? i never even knew there was anything after The Pick, the Sickle, and the Shovel honestly, but wikipedia hasn't even heard of that one.
ReplyDeleteI believe it was an "unofficial" compilation of loose ends.
DeleteR.I.P Woodie, you had the best rapper 'tache ever.
