Rizz MC – The Post 9-11 Blues

Is this another novelty track or is it topical hip-hop commentary? It can be both. As a song on it’s own it is fine enough, vaguely heading towards MC Lars territory, the track itself is almost a childlike parody of itself but this actually works well with the, at times, incredibly funny and, at others, cuttingly satirical lyrics. The video (supposedly turned down by MTV for being too political!?) is a must see for anyone with three minutes to spare. Only time will tell if this one can viral it’s way to bigger things or if indeed it is only amusing for five minutes online. I hope it’s the former, if only so the lyrics get the audience they deserve.
