2.13.13

On February 13th I listened to Ice Cube AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, Buffalo Tom Let Me Come Over, and Swans The Seer.

In my dumbass opinion Ice Cube’s 1992 album The Predator was the pinnacle of Rap music and it’s been all downhill from there. That’s what I believed in the mid-90’s and would still pretty much stick to today… maybe with a couple exceptions.

However, Ice Cube’s 1991 solo debut AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted is about as good as Are We There, Yet? IV – Honey, I Shrank My Balls or Friday After Next Week Thursday. I never owned this album, but for some reason I thought there was at least one song on it that I used to love. I couldn't find it.

I’ll tell you what I did find... “I’m Only Out For One Thang.” Holy shit is this song a fucking turd. Basically, a little kid asks Cube to rap about “the kids,” and the following track is, I guess, his version of Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story.” In Ice Cube’s version some guy gets VD, gets shot by some gangsta that lives in a sneaker and somebody's sheepskin condom breaks. Just terrible. 

Funny thing about this song is the little kid’s voice. Are you familiar with Positive K’s song “I Got A Man?” It was rumored in that song that the female part was actually just a dude’s voice that was manipulated by some studio trickery. The kid’s voice on Ice Cube’s “I’m Only Out For One Thang,” sounds exactly like it! Close the file on that one!

The irony on “Endangered Species” caused my MP3 player to crash. 

I love Buffalo Tom! Do you know who shares my love of this band? Jon Stewart! At least he used to, before he became a fake-news big shot! I like to think he walks his dog, sneaks a cigarette and listens to this album from time to time. 

Let Me Come over was also released in 1992 and I spent all the time I had from not listening to Ice Cube's album listening to this one! 

"Taillights Fade," is an Indie Rock anthem and I'll never get sick of it as long as I live! I used to listen to this song so much that when I was working for my college radio station, I noticed singer Bill Janovitz spits all over the last couple seconds of the track while singing. I went on the air and dedicated 20 minutes discussing it. 

"Larry," "Velvet Roof," "Staples," "Mineral," and "Mountains Of Your Head," have made this one of my favorite albums of all time! 

I had no idea so much went into this album, that this band has been around for so long, and that so many people contributed. I hate it. 

It is terrible and I want the time I spent listening to it back! I would have been better served playing with myself with out the benefit of internet porn. Do you know how hard that is, nowadays? I need like four clips going at once just to get aroused. Usually a cougar and a teen lesbian, a BBW and a black guy, any broad getting anal, and some form of deepthroating/gagging stuff. 

What was I talking about? I dunno.
