If you can list all the comic book references in my last verse, I’ll send you a Nights & Weekends t-shirt.

Listen To My New Piece of Glass: “Scallops” off Wu-Tang Pulp

“Check his history: Zilla Rocca’s been a beast. In just 16 bars, no other rapper could seamlessly namedrop the futility of the Seattle Pilots, Neruda, Hemingway’s love of daiquiris, Medellin, Omega 3′s, chicken nuggets, and Southern Comfort while flipping the beat to Tony Stark’s “Fish.” When the Wrecking Crew co-founder first floated the idea of a Wu-Tang Pulp project, I thought it was totally superfluous. Vintage Wu-Tang songs can’t be improved, but what Zillaknew and I didn’t, is that they’re the perfect jump-off — spring boards for creativity that manifest in “Scallops,” the second leak from the project.
Enter the Wrecking Crew. ZR with the unfadeable Has-Lo and Curly Castro, both of whom have been snapping on tracks like emaciated men ripping shells off a platter of bottom feeder seafood. As Has points out, the only thing left to do is go to Red Lobster. Or if you’re in LA, get the shrimp burrito at Senior Fish.
Either way rappers, this is how you tastefully reference the past without cranking out empty nostalgia. If you didn’t think that yesterday’s selection of RZA as the #1 producer of all-time was crackpot, you will want to hear this song. (And probably the J-Zone remix of Has-Lo’s “Light Years” that also dropped this week).” – Passion of the Weiss

Protons and Electrons Always Cause Explosions
During Saturday’s Double Entendre, Curly Castro and I debuted a cut off our upcoming Wu-Tang Pulp project (dropping next year) titled “Monty Hall Expo”, a flip of Ghostface’s “Mighty Healthy”. You’ll be seeing and hearing more about the Wu-Tang project for sure in ’11, but the basic premise is working with some of our friends and favorite artists in recreating seminal Shaolin finger jabs from the samples on up to film dialogue while adding a neo-noir hit from the ski’d out Optimo.
Here’s a little teaser assignment I bodied from the overlooked Ghost Dog soundtrack:
Raise your sword up
This is the long cut
Raw shit pick it up when I call you (da-da-ding!)
Duck the law y’all
Fuck the long talks
Put your hammer down, better raise your sword up (sching!)
Hello it’s me again, your neighborhood detective
Quite reflective, my preference a cocktail dress
With no protection, the alley way pen glider
All night assigments, my night vision spy shit’s priceless
Actually on consignment. I copped that at Cosmi’s
On 9th and Spring Garden before they shut that shit down
Warpaint on the face just like Samoans
I never touch the stage without my holsters
I never drove a Cobalt, Beretta with the locks by the window
Hang rappers like missletoe
Pulling up with twinkletoes, seated in the front
She’s a tall drink of water, and I’m thirsty for a cup
While my office collects dust unlike new producers
Never heard a record, and they never bought a record
And they never skipped a record, so they can’t be the future
Nickel Night at the Medusa, on Chestnut
For 5 dollars, I’m kissing fish but I’m dressed up
Swimming drizzy pissy cabs that’s necessary
You either get inside my pocket or you’re getting buried
Better hurry, I’m automatic Stephen Curry
Raise your sword up
This is the long cut
Raw shit pick it up when I call you (da-da-ding!)
Duck the law y’all
Fuck the long talks
Put your hammer down, better raise your sword up (sching!)
