Cutthroat Committy

the tightest hardcore crew in the south. the only times theyre mentioned on google is in a few forums and hella pages about soulja slim's death. anyway, killaaaa from the ilm room on slsk hooked me up with the mixtape. it's spotty, but when it shines its the best rap i've ever heard. soulja slim's on it but it was released after his death.

the have their own ghostface/freeway called lil menace who might be tighter than either of them. slim's cousin 12 o'clock sounds like the leader now, and has a tight promo i have on slsk (P$T). the first track is this alright metal synth-guitar beat with plucky panning synth plucks. 12 does two verse about somebody who he doesn't want in cutthroat committy anymore (don't tell me nothin bout no motherfuckin laptop / i'll putcho head flatout on that motherfuckin blacktop) and the chorus is a group chanting MAGNOLIA / THAT NOLIA while 12 does longer chants over it.

slim was one of the only rappers i've felt and i hope these cats can pull his style through. they do this layered chanting unlike anything i've heard. sometimes theyll multitrack their voices and do inflected echos of their voices instead of just doubling up some words

but what i like most is how seriously they take themselves and the resulting poetics. i'll post some tracks on yousendit when i get home. if you want the whole thing i got it on slsk too.

the other pt i wanted to touch on is the beats. theyre spotty on this mix but when they work they transcend even smooth g-unit beats. check tracks 10 11 and 16 for this seamless orchesteral style. then there's track 13, which begins with a sample of a rainstorm and fades into this awesome dark chant, "let it rain 'dhen, let it rain dhen, fuck it, let it rain den," over a beat halfway between dead wrong and like a pimp. "i done seen a lotta things i ain't supposed to see / i done a lotta things i ain't supposed to do / i done drunk a lotta liquor i ain't supposed to drink / and i done fucked a lotta hoes i ain't supposed to freak"

almost 2 oclock. i have to do to class! maybe i'll type some verses later bcz theyre so tight.

Since my move to Mac I'm not slsking but I'd love to hear some of this stuff. (And it's sad that I'm so out of touch I get my New Orleans info from ILM.)
