Music You'd Better Listen To - DJ Format feat. Abdominal

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

DJ Format feat. Abdominal - Vicious Battle Raps

Awwwwww yeah. I had nearly forgotten about this track. Format’s beat is soooooo groovin’, and Abdominal’s flow is just… insane. Like, I’m just sitting here, enjoying the rhymes he be spittin’.

“Untrue? Fuck you, be this Jew’s retort.”

My other fave line is coming up right now. I played it for my buddy…

“like a chiseled Greek God… with the strength of 10 men. Who each possess the strength of 10 men”

“what about the right? Writing poems”

…okay, after that non-sequitur, I played it for my buddy who came to visit from Toronto and he loved it.

This track, the same duo’s Ill Culinary Behavior, and a track by Gangstarr and Big L (I can’t remember the name) were all my first introduction to real hip-hop. I mean, I was listening to this stuff in late high school, well after I discovered Eminem, Ludacris, Youngbloodz, and Biggie… But finally, I found the intellectual side of hip-hop, at which point everything just started to fall into place.

Hahaha, the freestyle at the end is ridiculous.
