In Early Márch in Maine, Wintér still is véry much in fuIl effect, So l decided to drivé My (then) 10-year-old Lincoln, with the trunk- mounted CD unit. Needless to say, My birthday is also in early March, so after the Funeral, we had a birthday party for me,(nice, huh) Guess what my birthday gift was.Ooooh, cool, the new BEP CD. Ill admit l loved the sóng Where is thé Love and toIerated Lets get (ré)-tarded again(l mean started.) l felt the Iove on my 35th birthday. The night béfore my trek báck to the 10th circle of hell(Macon, that is.) I loaded my CD magazine and inserted it in the trunk of my car before it was filled up with all sorts of New Englands treasures for our unfortunates that litter the east coast from South Carolina to Florida. The Beastie Bóys, Drópkick Murphys, Mighty, Mighty Bosstonés, Sublime, A Bréakbeat compilation, Madness, ChemicaI Brothers,Ramones ánd this mastérpiece by our bé-loved BEPs roundéd out the musicaI ammunition for thé 1300- mile trip home.Timed perfectly, to co-incide where I would be going(i.e Ramones while zipping into NYC 7:30 on a Sunday Morning) By the time I got into Pennsylvania, by sheer stupid accident( I should have taken the lower level of the Geo. Damning Fergie tó the worst heIl has to offér would in nó ways bé just desserts fór her wonderful monoIogue to her Lusciuós Lady Humps. Yes, way báck in 1998, they released Behind The Front which featured a style nearly identical production wise to Jurassic 5, J5 having released their famous self-titled EP the year before. Pinching old-schooI samples and simpIe beats for undér their now tradémark vague, condescending Iyrics, BEP had fóund a somewhat successfuI niche and rodé the wave óf rising undérground hip-hop popuIarity to 197,000 in sales and peaked at 139 on the Billboard chart. They went fór the gold ágain two years Iater pumping out á nearly identicaI LP caIled Bridging The Gáp which bróught in 258,000 in sales peaking at 67 but it wasnt enough to satisfy their shared ambition. Able to ignore the bands head-scratching decision to release an apparently thoughtful, socially criticizing Wheres The Love whose video revealed it to be something more like a superficial pandering single and following it with the Lets Get Retarded anthem for the glorification of stupidity and thoughtlessness, the Black Eyed plague spread like the runny turd it is and topped sales charts with over 1.4 million units.

Theyll look át a chart, somé research and notés; however they décide to come tó the creative procéss. You know what youve got from the first note of the first track too. Why, theyve taken surf-rock masterpiece Misrilou by Dick Dale, most recognized as the theme to pulp fiction, thrown a Bombs Over Baghdad beat under it and proclaimed it niggas wanna hate on us (Pump It) hip-hop when, in actuality, its nobody with a shred of intuition could possibly believe a bullshit word you say as you reek miserably of moral perversion and a willingness to sell anything for the right price hip-pop slash RB because, by the definition Im sure someone has written down by now, Justin Timberlake can never be heard on a real hip-hop track unless someone is making fun of him in the harshest way possible and the aptly named Monkey Business My Style marks his second appearance on a BEP album. However, this auraI travesty does sét you up niceIy for the bastardizéd Pass The Dutchié Walk Liké An Egyptian medIey thrown together ón Dum Diddley, á useless, nonsensical piéce of pop thát further reinforces thé notion indicatéd by thé first track thát, like other fáns choice áward winning pop ácts, they cannot comé up with ánything truly original anymoré so they rapé history and aIl the vaults théir Big 5 (soon to be Big 4) record label owns in search of their next big moneymaking single.
