Punchy party rap. Nothing ground breaking, but then, even most things that try to be so aren't either.

I didn't actually hate it. It's fun on some level, but I'm probably not coming back to it. There's a lot of music in the world and I'm not sure these guys is making anything I want to seek out in a world where mortality is a fact of life.

I think the greed and materialism in rap needs to be viewed from the perspective that most rappers are born and raised on extreme poverty where they never expected to be anything but ghetto worker bees. So when they succeed and gain they flaunt it as a middle finger to the system that spat in their faces. That is why they celebrate the fact that they designed their own shoes.

What makes Twiztid groundbreaking is that they are some of the originators of the horrorcore scene that molded the look and the sound. I'd say they're pioneers in nerdcore too.

It's got a cool vibe and progression. There's kind of a nu-jazz feeling to the music (apart from the percussion, that is), but I'm not sure what this would be classified as.

Either way, I find this to be a creative, beautiful and highly entertaining track.

Not a terrible song, but I'm not really feeling it. Reminds me of this band my parents used to listen to called "Racey".
