"The only constant in life is change, so things we do now may seem way crazy to our old standards, but life is always changing. Don't ever hate yourself, but beable to be honest with yourself and actions, and beable to realize faults, and learn from them, or atleast put them in raps and exploit them son!!" - Jayson Musson
Klinkt als
Fat girls in a hot tub, popping bubbly, after a long night of playing slots at Caesar's Palace. We sound like the X rated Motorcycle Diaries meets Kweli on crystal meth!
Listen to what the PRESS is saying about our hometown boyssss...
"[Spank Rock] doesn't look or sound like any other rapper as he delivers hyper, clever lyrics over high BPM beats informed as much by 2 Live Crew and Rod Lee as new wave and experimental electronic music. It knocks, it's creative, and it's tailormade for people already out for a different sort of fix." - THE FADER
"Spank Rock's frayed Pharrell-meets-Usher carnal grind and full clip(ped) jackin-meets-jerkin' beats as ghetto traxxx du jour, like booty shake done by ESG with David Bowie's abstract phrasing." - URB
"Spank Rock might be the first utopian, multiethnic, underground, conscious booty-bass act- performing for the parties we're holding after the revolution." - ANTHEM
"There's more than just ass and bass in the Spank Rock mix though. Juwan's take on rhyme evokes Schooly D, another Philly MC who combined
ig'nant lyrics with sonic innovation...an ode to the very notion that party music and artistic experimentation are not incompatible." - XLR8R
"Yoyoyoyoyo is all over the place, busting holes in globalization's chintzy, prefab ideology; there is no unity, there is only ass shake.. The good news is the music is even better than it has any right to be considering it's budget-recorded." - PITCHFORK MEDIA
"Spank Rock bring the joy, freshness and plain weirdness back to hip
hop... great" - NME
"Pure magic... like a hybrid of Beastie Boys, Beck and Missy. Yes!" - Straight No Chaser
"Children, if you want Dad to think you're on drugs, play this
loud... Genius to the power of 32,186." - The Guardian
