Critic’s Corner: Bambu – …Paper Cuts… EP

Posted on by

Bambu dropped this EP earlier this year as something of a prelude to his upcoming exit album which he has been stating to be his last. He’s been in the game a long time now, both as part of Native Guns and now as a solo artist – choosing not only to use his mic to make music but speak and organize the communities he grew up in as well. It’s on that note that he continues to interweave the two worlds, regularly incorporating some type of socially concious theme into his music. So with the formal collections of his music as albums coming to a supposed end, how did this EP fare?

Geo aka Prometheus Brown is the MC portion of the group and discusses his notoriety, the Seattle music scene, working with Bambu on ‘Slow Down’, Filipinos in the arts, and a whole lot more. Geo’s an intelligent dude and I appreciate his well thought out responses.

Since I’m at work right now I’ve only been able to briefly check it out but woooh, that’s some nice quality video. I’ll post my thoughts later tonight.

[edit] So I peeped the video and I gotta say this joint is hot! Great cuts, great edits, and a crazy blend of martial arts, swag, people wild’n out and a raw, hot track make for an entertaining video that’s way above ho’s and ice. [/edit]

Geo aka Prometheus Brown Releases “Michelle Malkin”

Geo aka Prometheus Brown of the Blue Scholars has dropped a new single caleld ‘Michelle Malkin’. Name sound familiar? She’s a conservative blogger/columnist that can frequently seen on Fox News. Prometheus used a Sade sample that related to something Michelle said on the air and turned it into the aforementioned politically charged single. It’s not so much a criticism on a politcal wing more than it is a direct criticism of the seemingly hypocritical stances Michelle often takes.

It’s available for free download, though you have to provide your e-mail for the link via widget.

When all else fails, listening to old records and watching garbage TV always somehow provides refuge from the songwriting rut. Here’s an example.

One: I was bumping some old Sade in anticipation of her new Soldier of Love album. Two, I was flipping channels during halftime of a UW basketball game and landed on Fox News, where Michelle Malkin was back at it doing what she does best, spewing the same old same: Tea Party this, moonbats that. But for the first time in my life, I agreed with her on something: You rappers need to go get a job!

As fate would have it, Sade’s “Feel No Pain” (Love Deluxe, 1992) has a vocal sample with her singing the line “get a job.” What are the chances? So I flipped the beat, sampled the vocals, and wrote this song about my favorite neo-conservative Filipina blogger. And what better timing to share it with you all than on the week that Sade’s new album drops?

I wish all songs came this easily. Don’t you miss when overt racists were in power? Enjoy.
