AC1: July 30, 2007: Pigeon John - Money Back Gaurantee
Ooooooh, man. Maybe this should have hit the "Rockin' Tha Rap" post from a few days ago, but I dunno, I think it's good enough to stand on its own.
Pigeon John is another rapper that doesn't take himself to seriously, but that doesn't mean he can't wind his way around a mic. In this song, he seems to have so much fun. And c'mon, ladies, wouldn't you like this guy hitting on you? Funny, sincere, and he seems to be able to rhyme anything! (Okay, that last part might grow old after a while...)
My fave part of this? Black Francis is in it! Yes, Mr. Thompson, a.k.a. Frank Black, is caught singing in a sample, because this song ably tackles the Pixies "Hey!" to find its backbone. How cool is that? It's indie hip-hop cribbin' from indie rock. It's synergy baby!
Again, click the heading of the post for a taste of this fab song.
Dig.
Again again, this week's AC1s are goin' back to the end of 2006, to try and fill in some gaps, so enjoy!
Or....
All Assail!
