What It Is - It Ain’t Nuttin’ Else

Why do rap guys put their answerphone messages between tracks on their albums?

“Yo wassup Cliff, this is Deemo. Me an’ B-Spoke trippin over the post last Tuesday, dawg. Where you at, G? You got my cell. We bout to get us some mo sushi, brother. Peace.”

Or something.

I have no idea what any of that means, or who those gentlemen are, but this week I think I’m going to put some of my emails in between my posts, starting now. Will it make me look street?

    I think we’ve lost him, folks.

    On the second Jurassic 5 album there are messages from people like Julian Lennon (or possibly Shawn- I’m pretty sure it’s not John anyway) and Mick Jagger’s secretary. Scraping the barrel.

    On Dr Dre’s 2001 though there’s a great/terrible one from a woman tearfully declaring her undying love. The music kicks in whilst she’s still speaking and the first line of the song starts just as she finished:
    Unnamed Lady:“… and you have no idea how much I love, I will do anything to be your perfect woman”
    Dre: “I just wanna fuck bad bitches…”

    It’s quite touching.
