Yeah he was a scab for the la rams in 87 during the strike,
Maybe this is a false memory, but I could have sworn I actually saw a Suge Knight Topps trading card on display somewhere, or at least flashed on screen for a moment during a documentary on hip-hop “beefs.”
Does anyone know if such a thing exists? A mint card would probably be worth enough to…well…buy at least a couple solid meals at the burger stand of your choice.[/reply]
Probably not TOPPS (though not completely out of the realm of possibilities) but I would not be surprised if there were some gangsta rap trading cards.
I think I gave a pack of “Celebrity Mugshot” playing cards to Akbar as a gift at one time. It had all kinds of good stuff in it.
I think, as a side effect of hearing endless Jourgensen tall tales about ostriches and inventing Billy Gibbons, I’m actually surprised when a figure in the entertainment business lives up to their self-hype.
Not that I approve of ‘Suge’s’ actions in the least, but…the ‘thug’ life isn’t a crafted stage persona, it seems.
Also in the ‘practicing what he preaches’ category is the rapper [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Murder]C-Murder, who is indeed serving a life sentence for murder.

If the guy had lived he would have been downgraded to C-Wounding With Intent.

It’s also a little known fact that, before he broke through with his more gangsta-oriented themes, he appeared on record under other aliases, such as C-Social Responsibility. He recorded possibly the hottest ever jam instructing people how to sort their recycling into the proper bins. If only that had charted, maybe he wouldn’t have ended up as he did.
I have heard people on other forums talking about how legendary and pioneering this guy’s band (“Goatlord”) were, but I don’t think any kind of musical innovation can help to give him a more favorable cosmic balance sheet.
Kidnapping, murder, administering a snuff porn site…what a stand-up guy :-/

Goatlord were indeed both legendary AND pioneering.
So it all amounts to little more than cream cheese, imo.[/reply]
Wtf is this shit? You make a post that doesnt take a swipe at me or gunnar? You’re out of form.
There’s literally six or seven bands from around the world that share that name, maybe more. From what little I know, the “legendary” one is the one based out of Nevada, which apparently pioneered the concept of mixing “doom” and “death” elements in metal in the mid 1980s.
There is a record label / distro known as Nuclear War Now, which is basically your go-to place for “raw / bestial / war / gasmask / goatfukk” metal or whatever, some of their material can be heard on the Bandcamp page for that label.
Thornspawn (the band Gunnar shared in the ‘cussin’’ thread) would most definitely approve…
I looked through the Wikipedia on them last night. They have like 4 albums and half of them are about sodomy . . . “Sodomize the Goat”, “Sodomy of Mary”, and so on.
I also googled some of their band pics which predictably had them holding tree branches to look like upside down crosses. Also, one of the guys had a backwards baseball cap and overalls. I think they pioneered the sad hillbilly frat boy douchebag doom death genre.
As for this “pioneering the mix of doom and death” . . . Did that really need pioneering? I hope they coined a really catchy term for it. DOOTH METAL has a nice ring to it.
Groundbreaking stuff very unlike the thousands of other crappy basement-produced aggrothrash death mongers. Seriously, these guys are unique, okay? And not only because they are one of only 20-50 bands in the scene with a convicted murderer but for other special reasons too, I’m sure.

Go check their entry on the Encyclopedia Metallum, the cover art for a few of those meisterwerks looks like stuff I would see scrawled on my study hall desk in junior high school, courtesy of the guy who was always wearing a crusty Obituary ‘Slowly We Rot’ tee.
As far as their level of innovation goes, I don’t know, I’m sure plenty of other bands who never made it past the cassette demo stage reached similar stylistic conclusions. Particularly in countries like Brazil. It’s not like they were Throbbing Gristle or NON or something, stuff which really didn’t seem like it had any musical precedent when it first appeared.
