”Those affected with A.D.D. are most welcomed."

Look out Missy Elliot, Lil’ Kim, and Eve here comes Kristy Geschwandtner! Now there’s a name that rolls off your tongue.

Ok, so maybe Kristy’s flows can’t exactly high-step with those female rappers that take over the radio waves, but with her pals George Patterson on Keytar and Lynnae Burns on Drums Lil’ Pocket Knife is dropping some rhymes and phat beats to help you get “jiggy wit it” Indie-style!

Hyperactivity and impulsivity are two of the symptoms of A.D.D. and Lil’ Pocketknife’s sound has been diagnosed with the disease. Be it the funky intro beat on “East Coast West Coast” that switches back ‘n forth with the deep bass groove or the danceable rhythms coming from the Keytar on “Red Hot.”

“I’m only 5’2” and I can conquer you!” declares rapper on the track with the title that’s the same as her height and she’s right! This group is different, fresh, as well as alluring and they want to vanquish your ear drums. Five songs on this introduction E.P. released by Narnack Records shows a world of unique musical talent for three nerdy San Francisco twenty-somethings. “Pants Control” might not be the next “Chronic” or even the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, but mixing the rap with the nerdcore brings a slab of fun to the table for your ears to take a bite out of.

"Can we please stop name-dropping underground hip-hop to impress everyone."

SHut the fuck up. I know damn well I'm not impressing anyone, I'm just trying to get the word out on some dope shit that any hip-hop fan should check out.

Grand Buffet is awesome! You must not have been to one of their shows if you think otherwise.

true. I was going to say white people ruin everything, but I guess I mean all people ruin everything.

I listened to this song, it's terrible. I assume it's supposed to be delightfully ironic, but in actuality it's just terrifically terrible.

"This sounds absolutely atrocious. As a hip-hop purist, I think I'm gonna stay as far away from this as possible.

On a side note, the new Murs/9th Wonder record is rock solid."

I can honestly understand being a "hip-hop" purist, but that comment was just retarded.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure black people ruined hip-hop a long time ago. There's no excuse for Vanilla Ice, but No Limit records is probably worse.

some1 (April 2, 2004)

hip-hop is the new... i dunno what, but it's next on the list to be ruined by white people.

Pants Control is kind of a funny title. Pants is a funny word.

This is kind of funny....KINDA.
