The Brookcide Bandits could be the worst thing about Kansas City Hip-Hop since Mac Lethal's hot mess!!!
I found it. Through a link sent to this blog I found a group of white rappers that actually give Mac Lethal a bit of street cred by comparison.
So far I have been adamant in my stance that Mac Lethal is the Pat Boone of Hip-Hop and quite possibly worse than Vanilla Ice. I was wrong, but not my much.
The child molestation centered jokes of the "Brookcide Bandits" by far represent the depths of what's wrong about the nerdocre Kansas City renaissance that Lethal created.
I've read that a number of African-Americans are concerned that hip-hop and rap music will be stolen as a tenant of Black culture due to mass media manipulation and marketing efforts. Fortunately, if garbage like this and the efforts of Asher Roth are the best that young middle-class dudes with serious cultural identity problems can come up with . . . Then those concerns are obviously overstated.
I don't know (and don't care) if it's racist to suggest that white rappers are nothing more than thieves and interlopers taking part in cultural misappropriation . . . But on the other hand, I still find Cookie Monster's latest rap single far more captivating and credible than anything ever released by that d-bag Mac Lethal.
They're no Aesop Rock.
ReplyDeleteNow that whiteboy can rap.
E'rebody ... be sure to check out J-Space's latest tour de force ...

ReplyDeleteA good adobo needs a lot of lime and orange in it. The meat needs to simmer for a long time in this in order to be truly tender and to render the fat You could go with some wine on the other hand. Gotta get some spices in there. If chicken dump a bunch of jalapenos in there, some cilantro, maybe a touch of thyme. A touch of cinnamon, some capers.
ReplyDeletePersonally I like to chop some anchovie filets in there also.
Now if you want to do steak or pork that's a whole different deal.
That's actually really good advice from butterbean, although I'd add some garlic in there for my personal tastes as well.
ReplyDeletePJ: What make you think you know what goes down up in the hood anyway?
ReplyDeleteB-rad: BET.
Unreal..
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? THe Mission Hills Posse?
The SM East Killa's?
Just wasted 5 minutes listening to that.
Mac Lethal would eat you for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteMac Lethal would eat you for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThat's ghey
ReplyDeletepersonally i thought they were funny. i dont see what the big deal is.... it was obvious to ME that the lyrics were a complete joke.
ReplyDeleteHaha, the BCB are meant to be a joke. They record their songs in GarageBand on a Mac. They purposefull write lyrics such as "Apple computers and Volkswagen coupes / Don't eat peanut butter 'cause it gives me the poops."
ReplyDeleteIf this music offends you, you've got issues, brah.
dumbass. it was a spoof.
ReplyDeleteDear Tony,
ReplyDeleteWhile reading your article, I became highly offended by your obvious envy of the BCB. I believe that your hatred of the BRB stems from your personal lack of talent. The BCB has a lot of street cred where I'm from. You should also proof read your article before posting it.
Tony spelled Cookie Monster wrong. It looks like he fixed it. I think that's a subliminal message of some kind.
ReplyDelete"Brookcide" is the way they spell their name you fucking idiots. Tony should have used quotes.
ReplyDeleteok- so the only thing i can come up with to rate this little critue of yours is pure jealousy. theyr're obviously not doing it to impress you, if you dont like it i'm sorry you dont have the taste that most people have. Theyre definitely not confusing racial identity, theyre doing something that they love and i respect them for that. back off, if you cant be subjective and concise you might as well stop discrediting a group of guys who actually are legit unlike you who criticize from no experience
ReplyDeletehaha yo this shits hella funny look you fake ass blogger my name is kurt da verse and im one of the core members of the "bcb" and her is what i have t say to you!
ReplyDeletek now i know you may not agree with some of the lyrics but the point that we are trying to get accross to folks is that suburban "white" kids got talent to lyrically i am way better than anyone you can find soo

KURT DA VESRE.
BCB BITCH!

ReplyDeleteThese so-called "Brookcide Bandits" are actually becoming a problem here in the neighborhood. I think they take themselves too seriously, not only have I been robbed several times already this year, but two elderly couples have been severely beaten by these gang members only earlier this month.
ReplyDeletethis is to the person who wrote the last comment
ReplyDeletei think you might have the bandits confused with someone else....
we take part in no criminal activity unless you think freedom of speech is illegal.
BCB fo lyf!!
ReplyDeleteWow- first off... they aren't all white. Second i dont think you understand the definition of 'Satire'- even a deaf man could figure out by the lyrics and improvised (i hope at least) rhymes that the only point of this group is to make fun of citizens (probably much like your ignorant self) who seem to be under the impression that they are 'gansta' and can rap simply because they are from a moderately large metropolis with a lower class neighborhood that has a high crime rate. long story short- you are retarded and i bet these 'kids' have gone further in life than you could ever hope to... Brookcide Bandits keep doin' your thing because its giving me a reason to laugh at brats who call themselves ganster again.
ReplyDeletehey Everyone,
ReplyDeletecheck out the BCB new song, Teabag Tony. Based on a completely fictional blogger in KC.
http://www.myspace.com/brookcidebandits
hey tony, we got a new song.....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.myspace.com/brookcidebandits
Haha I actually know the "Brookcide Bandits" from high school. While I would agree that they're pretty painful to listen to, they are in no way serious. The whole thing is a joke, I'm surprised the outside world even found it. How did you find out about them?
ReplyDeletewhats up tony. we can criticize too....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.myspace.com/brookcidebandits
Um...so....yeah......
ReplyDeleteProps to Ian and the BCB for getting someone to write a whole blog entry about how their fake rap is bringing down Kansas City's street cred. What's actually more pathetic than the depths of loserdome they would enter if they did indeed take themselves seriously, is that some guy who supposedly has an ear for music couldn't tell that a bunch of teenagers had mixed this over a weekend just for the shits and giggles of doing so.
Really--is KC rap so bad that you really WOULD think these guys were trying to make a name for themselves? I mean, COME ON.
Next time ya'll wanna go pick up some eleven year olds give me a call, I'll be rapping with Elmo.
The next time someone wants to take a crack at a bunch of "white rappers"
Dear Brookside (and Brookcide Bandits),
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing "hood" or "gangster" about Brookside. Thats where Catholic school boys and their mums live.
Get a life (or a gun),
Midtown
Look, I know members of BCB and they're more like the Bonzo Dog Band of hip hop than the Pat Boone. Seriously, now.
ReplyDeleteI like how you dissed 2002 Scribble Jam champion Mac Lethal, Tony. You've made it pretty obvious that not only are you a creepy old fuck that wanks to swimsuit models all day, but you don't know anything about underground hip-hop.
ReplyDeleteObviously BCB isn't good music. And yes, some of Mac Lethal's shit is garbage, but some of it is actually pretty good. I doubt you have the ability or interest to discern the difference.
Its easy to sit behind a (wack) blog and talk shit. You rant about all kinds of minority issues, but believe a slice of the population shouldn't touch a "black" artform. Black people may have pioneered hip-hop, but lyricism and rhythmic poetry is found in every culture, ever.
Its easy to sit behind your computer screen and stereotype people, Tony. You have never made a rap, nor have you ever run for Mayor. You are as worthless as your criticisms.
Go back to jerkin' it to swimsuit models, loser.
I know the BCB from high school. This group is for entertainment ONLY!!! Why are you taking it so seriously? They are not trying to claim they r hood or gangster. SO GET OVER IT. You must have absolutely NO LYFE to actually seriously critique a fun group lyke this. And I quite enjoy the new song :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree, their music sucks!!! I knew from the start it was a joke, you can tell, obviously. I tried to take it lightly but it just didn't work for me.
