27: Overlord X - Weapon is My Lyric


So according to our Overlord - it's rough in Hackney. This is another solid turn of the 90s rap effort - all public enemy lite production and solid rapping. There's a bit of Beethoven sampling, that always makes me think of a Clockwork Orange. There's some fast rap.

When he does slower raps it works a little less well - he doesn't quite have the caliber to hold up  the tempo, though the faster raps are more successful. I've listened to this record at least 10 tens but to be honest I can't quite picture it - it's good but ultimately forgettable.

Here's the Overlord Live:
