Escape From Noise

I just found this out. I guess Something Awful is now a rap group?

I feel like maybe Jeffry should have run this by us, but seems like it's too late maybe.

Thank you Pot Smoke Pheonnix for this Kickin' Rad sig

dudes like this are the best on social media because half the time it's relatable shitposting and half the time it's insane capslock promo mode for their SICKEST ALBUM RELEASE PARTY EVERRRRRR!!!!!! at their town's one bar and a horrorcore burlesque dancer with a c-section scar over at least one tattoo does a routine to Nightmare on My Street by the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

she's the opening act but they bring her back on to get the audience pumped for the main act two hours after they were supposed to go on, but she wasn't prepared to do a second routine so she just does her same dance to Dream Warriors by Dokken.

i should clarify two things
1) the dancer is either the sister or maybe cousin to one of the two performers (audience was unclear)
2) i got up on stage immediately after her and read some poems about being sad and in college

i was not invited to the after party

i forgot some details: everyone on the back of the album is a roleplay character held either by one of the two rappers or some of their friends in their posse, which is guaranteed to date back to elementary school. the characters are mentioned and named dropped in songs without explanation or context, because the universe these songs and characters take place in will actually be explained in the comic-book tie in, which, if it actually exists will be some extremely "learn to draw shonen manga" on loan from a library poo poo. if it doesn't actually exist in drawn form, the scripts for no less than thirty seven issues will be available for download on their ProBoards forums.

The people these characters are based on never show up in actual songs, because they know they can't rap. Any voicemails left by members of the posse are fair game however, especially if the voicemail contains accusations of money being owed, girlfriends being hosed, cars getting stolen, or the voicemail leaver died.

invariably either the group is torn apart due to infighting or pissing matches with others in the horrorcore facebook community, or they are given their own tent at the gathering of the juggalos and become minor media icons among dispossessed ex-opie and anthony fans.

edit- one of the cats from one of these failed projects went on to get really occupy wall st-focused and for a while taught music production classes at a local youth center but they made him stop when it became apparent he had no idea how to use Audacity.

we all missed the most important part, the feature spot by none other than D12

Does anyone else remember when D12 got a song about doing and loving drugs played on repeat on MTV for a year straight by changing the word "pills" to "hills"?

Wait.

Bizarre is in D-12

The album in the OP, by Bizarre and Fury, features a feature spot by Bizarre.

bizzy bone is also featured. no way to tell if he harmonizes with anything but I think we should assume he does.

I listened to 6 or so of the songs on that album. It is actually something awful. The songs sound fine, but if you listen to the lyrics, they're pretty gratuitous, like they're trying to one-up the edginess every other rap song in existence.

Like, two songs included the phrase "full blown AIDS", and I'm pretty sure one had the lyrics "gently caress her in the rear end if she's underage".

The first minute and 20 seconds of "I'm Crazy" is decent, though:
