If It's Too Loud...

There's some controversy on whether "My Bad" is a new track from 90's hip hop legends The Pharcyde or just a Fatlip solo song that features verses from Slimkid3, Imani, and Bootie Brown that weren't originally planned for a Pharcyde song. (We're not going to get into that as it's pretty drama filled and convoluted, but if you're curious there's an extensive Rolling Stone article about it.) But, if you're a fan of The Pharcyde from way back in the Bizarre Ride II... days, hearing these four all on one song is absolutely thrilling. Is this as great as the songs off Bizarre Ride II... ? It's not, but what truly is? "My Bad" is more along the lines of 1995's Labcabincalifornia , and that is not a bad thing. It's a laid back track that seems to show all four members apologizing to each other, which can only make diehard fans dream of what could be. You can watch the video for "My Bad" below.

Hailing from South London, Montener The Menace has just released the most classic old school hip hop single in years. First, the single is called "High Noon" and it has a slight old west vibe to it. A rap song with a western theme is something you'd hear in the late 80's/early 90's, but I can't think of another song since that used that theme. Second, he brought in four classic American rappers for the song. It features verses from Masta Ace, Rah Digga (Flipmode Squad), Fatlip (The Pharcyde), and Wordsworth. Just having those four team up is enough to get us to listen. Luckily, "High Noon" is a killer old school hip hop song. If you're a fan of pre-1995 hip hop, this song is going to be impossible not to enjoy. You can watch the video for "High Noon" below. The song will be available as a 7" single via Certain Sound Records. You can pre-order a copy on the label's Bandcamp . For more on Montener The Menace, check out the artist...
