Okay then, before we wrap up April there's just time to look back and check out some more albums you've suggested I listen to that are

Album title: Sky Ladder

Release date: March 7
Position in Discography: Eighth
Estimated Rating:

Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.05
I like the way this starts off (this is also the title track); not much in the way of singing or rapping, just mostly kind of squelchy synthy breaks and a trappish feel to it. Some sample I guess, but I don't know what. Once he starts rapping though he's really good (given the laughably tiny bit I know about this genre) and the music/samples very soul or funky. Very pleasant I must say. He's not shy though is he? “Nothing less than the best ****ing rapper in the whole world”? Might be a few who might challenge that, my man!

I admit, his constant claims on this score get a little annoying. I mean, it seems to be in every song, also the phrase “hundred dollar freestyle”. Getting a bit stale. I've heard plenty of rappers who go on about themselves but not as much as this guy does. Pushing me towards the eject button, I have to be honest. If the next three songs have those phrases in them, I'm out. I can only take so much self-promotion and arrogance on one album. Okay, well that's one. Two more and I'm out of here. This is getting painful and very annoying. And that's two. One more and I'm hitting blue sky. And that's three. Bye!

Check out more from this artist? The best rapper in the world? Absolutely not.
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes

Yeah maybe but it gets stale and old, and I really didn't think he was that good anyway. It just got on my nerves.

Sounds like you just didn't get the joke.

Remember when he thought Slayer made "Angel of Death" to commemorate the Holocaust and not just to have extreme lyrics to go along with the music?

“Angel of death” concerns the Nazi scientist Josef Mengele, who plied his evil trade out of Auschwitz and was also portrayed in the movie “The boys from Brazil.” Noted for his awful experiments on humans, he was indeed dubbed the Angel of Death, and Slayer's song led to them being --- mistakenly --- characterised as Nazi sympathisers, a label they continue to deny.

The song? It opens with a stop-start guitar which quickly metamorphoses into a speed freak's wet dream and with a scream from Araya the opener is under way, belting along faster than a diving Stuka. I have to say, given the significance of lines like ”Infamous butcher”, ”Sickening ways to achieve the Holocaust” and ”Pathetic harmless victims” I find it hard to believe anyone could misinterpret Hanneman's lyrics as glorifying Nazism. This is clearly an angry accusation levelled at the evil doctor, a graphic depiction of the horrors the concentration camp inmates were forced to endure, but no homage to Mengele. Still, some people will I guess see and hear what they want to hear, or what they think they should. The vocal is harsh and accusatory, and you can actually feel the pain in Araya's voice as he spits the lines, particularly the no doubt unintentionally ironic ”Destroying without mercy/ To benefit the Aryan race.”

The final lines, too, are heavily critical of surely the Allies for failing to capture and bring this evil monster to trial, where he would have almost certainly been hanged. As Araya snarls ”Rancid Angel of death/ Flying free” he must surely be referring to the fact that, despite all the efforts to bring him to justice, Mengele eluded capture and only died aged sixty-nine in a swimming accident in Brazil. Hardly the fate that should befall such a callous and heartless mass-murderer. There's a lot of anger in this song, smouldering outrage and hatred, but stark sympathy and solidarity with the millions who died in the camps, particularly those who died under Mengele's horrific regime. As has been said before, never forget, or their deaths will have been in vain.

Such a basic bitch.
