Metal Lungies

Now there’s an Earth-shattering lineup. The late great J Dilla successfully duplicates the Wu-Tang sound, albeit with a Detroit twist. Since Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… is one of my favorite albums of all time, I’m extremely skeptical of anything off the album’s purported sequel. So far, “New Wu” and “House of Flying Daggers” have been more than adequate. “Criminology 2” – not so much.

Yes, this song is actually an ad for Blueline Kennels, a breeder of pitbulls in Southern California. Also, the last four minutes of the video are an extended dance break with shots of dogs. So gangster.

Off the unfortunately titled Phil Of The Future II mixtape. Phil Nash rocks a double time flow over Jeff’s smooth beat.
