I’m kinda speechless. This is like the indie/internet rap version of “Flava In Your Ear” (hence the video reference) or, like, “Make It Rain” for you young bols. Despot (who is currently working on music after a hiatus with beats by Ratatat) opens with internal rhyme gymnastics while shuffling Lucky Charms (Irish?), Kool A.D. (first half of Das Racist) seems pleased-enough to be rapping pretty straight-shot punchliners with a golfclub, while Heems (other half) probably missed the shoot? So they edited him in – he’s rapping from a video in a video (no Xzibit). Is Dap next-level cooking? Awno. Danny Brown spits gun-play rhymes better than any self-professed gangster rapper on the charts right now. But… does anyone know what “Blunt’s Paul Bunyan” means? El-P, the second white rapper on the track, who is actually the best. rapper. everrr. to some people, reminds me why those people have a good point. By the time Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire comes back on his own track, he has successfully painted ‘Huzzah’ on a fat booty and, shirtless, spits a raw couplet referencing Equilibrium.

Each of these artists have had their share of internet spectators dismissing them as jokes. I don’t entirely blame those snap-judgement makers – depending on your vantage point and context, it can be hard to take an “internet rapper” seriously off the strength of a few YouTubes from the latest rap blog tryna break the next hype artist. But wheat separates from chaff and real recognize real – this track should kill all doubt that these dudes are anything but serious. It’s a movie. It’s a movement. It’s a moviement.
