Our old pal and Analog Medium contributor, Daniel Jordan, has released a greatest hits album of sorts. Greatest Anti-Hits to be precise. It's a great collection of singles and unreleased stuff we hadn't even had a chance to hear yet. Horrorcore, hip-hop, funk, punk, Daniel Jordan is the man. The two stand-out tracks are, of course, the tracks featuring the late, great Dolemite. Track 5, I Live 4 The Funk features Dolemite (as Petey Wheatstraw) and Blowfly and was featured here on Analog Medium back in April. The Human Tornado on track 7 features Esham and Dolemite in a super hot homage to the Rudy Ray Moore movie of the same name.
To really appreciate hip-hop of this nature, one must embrace sleaze, narcissism, deviant behavior, and a mix of anger and nihilism. As deviants ourselves, AM not only can embrace, but to relate to that kind of material. My favorite tracks, were definitely Escape From Babylon (track 2), Airplane Crash (track 3), and Don't Belong (track 9). Out of the three, I'm in love with the furious, punk-laced Airplane Crash. Featuring such lyrics as "I hope you die in an airplane crash / I hope you crash and it kills your ass" and "I'm gonna break in your house / I'm gonna stab your face." Instant classics. And Daniel Jordan is fitting to blow-up. We can't wait to hear his upcoming album, Daniel Jordan is the Stranger.
