More legit than Two
Live Jews, but somehow less acceptable than 3rd
Bass, Blood of Abraham found themselves at a crossroads in
the Jewish, b-boy rap game. They were prodigies of Eazy-E,
but managed to only make a blip on the radar of Zionist-centric
college students like myself (ha!). Often comparing the plight
of African-Americans to that of Jews, these guys have an interesting
(and naive) slant on history. I understand what they're going
for here, but it's more a weak attempt to ingratiate themselves
into the hip-hop community than it is a serious study. We get
that you hate racists ("Southern Comfort"), but, honestly,
%99.9 of rednecks and KKK members can't tell the difference
between a Jew and any other horned Caucasian. Despite their
one-track minds, their rapping is still better than most of
the mumbling crap I hear these days, but I haven't liked major
label rap since 1993 or so. The stand out track, "Stabbed
by the Steeple," is an indictment of the religious right
and the corrupted past of the church, and is actually pretty
dead-on in this day of our swing to the right. |
