HAWD GANKSTUH RAPPUHS MC'S (wit ghatz)
Wake Up and Smell the Piss (Load Records)

Reviewed by Holly Day



This is really fun in an extremely low-brow, retarded way, with songs about passing bubbles in the bathtub, poopin', sex (I think), and killin' things. The rhymes are great, and go on ad infinitum until you start wondering How Much Longer Can They Take This Thread? ("I don't eat so I don't have to shit!" is one of many strange punchlines) and the samples fall in somewhere between '80s Butthole Surfers and that wonderful brand of Casio Rap that revolutionized that decade's music. One minute I like this, the next, I'm disgusted with myself for listening to it. If the Residents got half their collective brains scooped out with a melonballer, they'd probably write rap songs like this.
