Do you mean done by blacks, or 'black'-style? I'm thinkin' Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill... Joaquin Phoenix[??!}

Have you noticed how rap isn't 'good' rap unless it's black?

Oh, OK. If it’s late nineties, I understand the hideous hairjob a bit better.
 
And if he knows his music that means extra points.
 
However, “Lemonade & Brownies” is nearly as lame as “Chocolate Starfish & the Hot Dog Flavoured Water”, isn’t it?
 
West-Coast white-funk-rap. Hmm. No, not spiking the interesteometer.
 
Thanks for the explanations. “Whoa! That was a powerful-ass lyric” don’t impress me much, though.

This is all ancient, ancient history, isn't it? To be fair, McGrath *really* knows his music (ever see him on Vh1's Music Jeopardy? He's cleans up -- real geeky music head, god bless'im). Sugar Ray may not be much to write home about, but they started off as an Orange County metal band. First record (Lemonade & Brownies -- geddit?) has some alright moments (notably the afore-mentioned "Danzig Needs a Hug"). Still, if I never heard "Fly" again, that'd be just fine with me

Cheesy West Coast white-funk-rap from the late 90's, a la Smashmouth. First album had a decent song called "Danzig Needs A Hug." Appeared in "Scooby Doo 2". Lead singer is now a contributor to "Access Hollywood", such as it is. I believe they were virtually unknown in the UK, but were quite popular in Japan, Finland and Latin America.

Oh, wow -- I don't care for Sugar Ray whatsoever, but I'll McGrath for using a great lyric for inspiration! (And for asking having the good taste to listen to KJ!) 
Interesting post, Rheinhold.  : )

"All around the world statues crumble for me"
MARK MCGRATHPosted Oct 31, 2005 3:36 PM
 
(FROM "FLY") 
 
I was sitting in our old house -- we all used to live together in Hancock Park in Los Angeles -- and I was looking through my records, and I happened to see a Killing Joke record. They have a song called "Sanity" with the lyric "all across the scenes, the statues crumble." Whoa! That was a powerful-ass lyric, and I took it from there. I wish it was a life story like I was walking lonely in Rome, but it's not that romantic -- we have Killing Joke to thank for that line.
