The demo of long deceased Flint, Michigan rapper Chat Chat is a cassette that has been long forgotten. Chat Chat is a product of 90s Flint rap. Not too many people remember this rapper which is a tragedy because he left behind what could have been a career in music.
Chat Chat’s demo was recorded and engineered by Steve Pitts at Black Jack Studios in Flint, Michigan in 1994. Steve Pitts produced the entire demo himself. The songs included on this demo cassette are Somethin to Think About, Cry In Hell, Crazy Thought, Death Wish, and Lookin For A Gank.
Chat Chat’s demo came out around the time King Hood Cykoz released their first album which was in 1994. Chat Chat was influenced by the sounds of gangsta rap, electronic music, and horrorcore. Not only that, Chat Chat was influenced by the sounds of The Dayton Family, KingHood Cykoz, 211, Esham, Natas, Evol, and Variety of Sinz.
For those of you wondering what happened to Chat Chat, an explanation is provided below. It was a tragedy to what happened to Chat Chat. Here is what happened to Chat Chat:
Chat Chat was killed in 1994. He killed with a gun which resulted into death was by gunshot. Chat Chat was murdered over a woman. One day, Chat Chat was killed in his car by his homeboy. He was dating some woman his homeboy was.
His death was a shock. Chat Chat had left his child behind at the time of his death. His death was a tragedy that was not observed by Flint as a whole. His death remained overlooked and unnoticed. Robert Towne was Chat Chat the rapper. He was a rapper who was part of the Revelation Family on Revelation Records during the mid-1990s.
Crazy Thought is a song which delves into the crazy mind of Chat Chat. The song has a dark eerie horrorcore vibe. Vinyl scratches used on this song blend in with the horrorcore element very well.
Time after time, Chat Chat feels crazy. He can’t get himself together. It’s gotten to the point where he is about to lose his mind. He needs to chill as he always has these crazy thoughts. By living in this hellhole, he knows he’s lost. Chat Chat feels as if he has no place to go. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. Chat Chat feels like grabbing his gun to kill someone. Like a crazy motherfucking G.
At the 0:51 timestamp is where he talks about killing his family. Here is how he killed his family: He shot his mother in the temple. He left her dead on the bathroom floor. His brother was an eyewitness to this killing. Chat Chat attacked his brother using a butcher knife. He stuck his little nephew in the freezer.
Homicidal business is what he is always thinking about. He smothered a little girl by kidnapping her. Nobody had a clue what happened to her. 2 weeks later, Chat Chat is attending her funeral. The song gets crazy at this point. He kills her father by putting a bullet hole in his head. Now he’s 6 feet under.
The ending of Crazy Thought is where the tape sounds like it's getting eaten up. Chat Chat's voice comes on the speakers saying, "Turn the tape off devil worshipping muthafuckaz!”
Chat Chat gives the public and us listeners something to think about on the song Somethin to Think About. The mood gets very dark quick as Chat Chat himself gets very deep on this song. He shares his thoughts on how life really is for him.
Chat Chat talks about how hard it to get a job when you’re from the ghetto. The trouble starts when a person from the ghetto submits an application only to have the employers throw it in the garbage. Who wants to hire a thug? No one. Not anyone in his community. Unemployment is the reason why Chat Chat joined a gang (on the set). He feels that he is unemployable due to being from the ghetto. People think he’s a fool but he’s making a profit in the middle of nowhere. Flint is just a place covered in cement.
Death knows no color as death happens to everyone. Death has no boundaries. Chat Chat could care less.
Despite the negative vibe you get from listening to this song, Chat Chat has a message. His message is “Change with the times so you won’t be left behind.” That way you can adapt to change as time progresses forward.
Looking For A Gank was produced by the legendary Flint producer Steve Pitts. Production work started in 1993 and ended in 1994. A perfect example of G-Funk.
Chat Chat is looking for someone to rob. He is looking for a gank. He starts by robbing a man for his link and dookie rope (gold rope). He put the barrel of his gun the man’s, clicked the trigger, and his head exploded. Now he goes to see Ronnie Johns. He has a .44 caliber handgun. Chat Chat realizes he has his sawed off shotgun.
He soon finds another person to rob. Money and dope were taken. Chat Chat left a bloodbath. Cops are after now after him. They want to fuck with his as they have an APB. Chat Chat runs to his house. A police car was on his grass. He turns the otters way to avoid being seen. Obviously he is paranoid. He is ooted up. Now he is smoking a Newport.
Chat Chat is broke and needs money. A nigga got jacked for a load of crack. He is on a rampage with his 12 gauge putting people on the front page newspaper.
Cry In Hell is similar to Crazy Thought as the song has dark subject matter. The song has a dark eerie vibe similar to Death Wish and Crazy Thought. References to wiccanism and satanism are mentioned throughout the song also.
Life’s a bitch. That’s why he stayed packed. He keeps a gat in his pocket for these niggaz in Flint or any other person. What’s worse is a person getting hurt. It’s time to get a soul. Chat Chat lives like a criminal. He murders people by giving them 2 bullets to the head.
Death Wish is a death themed rap song performed by Chat Chat. Death Wish was produced by Steve Pitts. He gets very dark on this song due to the thick heavy bass.
I rate this demo, 4/5****!
