New: MF Doom - 'Cellz'
The sample at the beginning is Charles Bukowski reading 'Dinosauria, We' (text here) which I assume was sampled from the documentary film 'Born Into This'. I recommend watching it whether you're a fan or just curious.
As well as this latest offering from ol' Metalface, Buck 65's also notable for producing material that's either influenced by or actually based upon Bukowski's writing - see 'The Floor' from 'Secret House Against The World' for instance, which is adapted from Bukowski's poem 'A Smile To Remember'.
It's cool to see another of my favourite hiphop artists collide with one of my favourite poets/authors. Words are words, separations of genre or artform aside. It's all one really.

just listened to the whole of Born Like This, thought it was great.
ReplyDeletethe production isn't as inspired as earlier stuff (i mean it's a bit lazy just rapping over UFO for "yessir") but i think his ramblings pull it up high
