Slaine/ La Coka Nostra


Looks like Everlast, Danny Boy and Lethal (House Of Pain) are back, this time as Rap Collective La Coka Nostra. Taking on board the very talented Ill Bill from Non Phixion, and also portly rapper Slaine, the group have an album out soon and I like what I'm hearing! I think there's even a glimpse of Everlast in the video...

Despite loving the tune and the lyrics, the B Boy posturing looks a little forced and I 'm sensing that Slaine didn't really get it on with the 'ladies' in the video. All in all though, pretty good!

I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for all the gun imagery though. Whilst I understand that this is part of an image inherent in rap (no more the cause of gun culture than videogames or films like Scarface), I literally loathe guns and the glamour that they seem to have to the youths in my neighbourhood...
Two more kids were shot a couple of weeks ago here. At first they were seen as innocent victims, but I've heard a whisper that they were playing the same game. Senseless....

And a fabulous old rocker at that BJ... It's nothing like Eminem if you need a reference point, he's white and he raps... That's about it...

Still big love for even commenting on this post!

I'll try to throw up a couple of more Twisted Sister references to keep you more engaged! LOL!
