Gangsta Rap Breathes New Life Into...Uh...Gangsta Rap - March 6, 2008 By : Rud



Not so long ago the established label Delicious Vinyl released an album that may have caused some to look confused. The release in question was Gangsta Rap's "The Glockumentary" - an album by a group bold enough to name themselves after their chosen genre!

Murder Mike, Du-Rag and DJ Ballistics are the three Compton residents not afraid to revisit the late '80's! Finger waves, dookie braids and curl activator are back with a vengeance. Beatdowns, beepers and A-K spray are here to stay - and Gangsta Rap's The Glockumentary is the album of the year. "Well, it would've been album of the year in 1988," says Murder Mike, Gangsta Rap's jheri-curled giant. "We just couldn't get it put out until 2008."

With the lead single House Shoes quickly turning heads the group quickly established a fan base for the DVD film - Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary - which was released on DVD from Th!nkFilm on February 5, 2008 that sits alongside the album release.

"The Glockumentary" really does take you back to the days when a Parental Advisory Warning stickers really meant something - albeit it still doesn't seem quite adequate - as Gangsta Rap's ruthlessest rapper Du-Rag thoughtfully observes; "Our music is not suitable for children, who are sure to love it."

Dubcnn's own Guest Writer Peter Relic recently took his life into his own hands and got some phone time with DuRag just long enough to talk about house shoes, gold fronts, and what's really going on with Tracy Morgan. The interview, which again Parental Discrection is advised, can be read below.

Exclusive Interview With Du-Rag of Gangsta Rap [March 2008]

Gangsta Rap was a surprise signing to Delicious Vinyl, the long-respected Los Angeles home to groups like Tone-Loc and The Pharcyde. When asked about the signing, Delicious Vinyl president Michael Ross admitted; "We're officially hemorrhaging credibility like there's no tomorrow." When asked about this dispiriting comment from the head of their label, Du-Rag had this to say: "Hemorrhaging, that means they bleeding right? Cool." And Murder Mike clarified: "What he mean 'like no tomorrow'? There is no tomorrow, fool!"

With that said all that is left to do is leave you with two cuts from their recent debut and let you judge them for yourselves!
