Chopping up Lil’ Wayne’s lines from The Carter and dubbing ’em over John Carpenter’s Escape from New York score sounds risky – ya gotta appease two different crowds, the hip-hop heads and fanatics of Carpenter’s cult classic. But SP-33 manages to take from the two and mash it, cut it and whip it into a completely new grimey cocktail.
My first encounter with Escape from Tha Carter was its 5th track, “A Milli(liter of Vaccine)”. The best line I’ve heard that fully describes my feelings for this song were, “[it] makes me want to chew oxy’s and drive a tank” […]
[audio:A-Milli-Vaccine.mp3,Asthma-Hoes.mp3|titles=A Milli(liter of Vaccine),Asthma Hoes]I first caught wind of Bossasaurus back in December, but like my scattered brain, I lost them in my music pile of mess. Well, when I saw some snippets for what’s soon to come from these gents, I had to go back to Lacerta, their debut EP.
“Light Pollution” may have been my initial kick into Bossasaurus’ Lacerta, but I’m starting to warm up to a few of their other tracks. The EP’s got a range of styles, more than I initially thought, and really gives intro to the gen[i]us of these constellations – Lacerta is a constellation/genus of reptile (I’m trying to provide some sort of entertainment :)
