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, King Hood 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 around the age of 27. 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 all behind his back. When he found out about this, he killed Chat Chat out of anger for what had happened.
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. He lived in King Hood on Dayton Street & Mason Street.
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 living in the ghetto.
The song starts off with some spooky ass eerie synths produced by Steve Pitts. Lyrics to the song start off with “Way to go/How close can I really get?/Didn’t want to find out/That’s why I don’t know”
Chat Chat talks about how hard it is to get a job when you’re from the ghetto. The trouble starts when a person from the ghetto submits in an application/resume 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. Living in the city is a pity.
You should have known who not to fuck with. That is Chat Chat. Police are locking niggaz up as they are coming up. If Chat Chat didn’t have an attitude, he would care about death. But he doesn’t. Death knows no color as death happens to everyone. Death has no boundaries. Chat Chat could care less. He sees more dead brothers as each day goes by.
You should know that Chat Chat has changed with the time. Change with the times so you won’t be left behind. Chat Chat says people don’t understand a black man like him. That’s something to think about.
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.
Now the song has some of the best most prolific yet memorable lyrics which “Didn’t want to find out/That’s why I don’t know” and “Way to go/How close can I really get?”.
Cry In Hell (Death Wish) is similar to Crazy Thought as the song has dark subject matter. Cry In Hell is a death themed rap song where he gets very dark. The song has a dark eerie vibe similar to Something To Think About and Crazy Thought. The thick heavy bass blends in appropriately with the eerie vibe. His style of rhymes are wicked. References to wiccanism and satanism are mentioned throughout the song also.
On this song Chat Chat plays the role of a soul seeker who kills people out of meanness because he is evil. Evil possesses him to kill people.
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. The soul is out cold. He is mental as he is an individual who is sick in the head because he lives like a criminal.
It’s time to get a soul. He went out to take someone’s life at 12 during midnight. He doesn’t give a fuck. Now he’s busting people and watching them being brutalized. You only feel what a person feels if you look into their eyes. He murders people by giving them 2 bullets to the head. Chat Chat is loosing his mind as it is filled with evil. He is a soul seeker. Down in the basement is where the devil dwells. Your soul is required in hell. Your soul will be crying in hell.
He had a flashback as he looked at wrist. He remembers committing suicide by slitting his wrists. This is legit because he was suicidal at one point in his life. He lives his life in sin as he thinks about taking lives with his .38 revolver.
Chat Chat talks about doing hit and runs with his car. He gets violent as talks about running people down with his car. By running people down in his car he is killing them. For instance he stopped a truck driver on Clio Road and shot that truck driver on West Mott Avenue where Clio Road & West Mott Avenue intersect.
Chat Chat is Robert Towne’s split personality as he gets chatty. You don’t want to get introduced to his split personality. Chat Chat lives like a criminal.
Chat Chat is coming to get you. Watch him get hectic when evil thoughts lurk in his mind. This Sagittarius needs some wine. He needs a drink of wine. Insanity is what he thinks about. He does what he wants to do. So fuck what you think. He’ll get you. So don’t try to fight or run. He’ll play with your mind. Do a little voodoo. Chat Chat is satanic. He does damage when he is on the mic. Coming with he realness as he packs his steel. You better check yourself because if you don’t you might get killed.
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. Now 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!”
The album closes with the song Looking For A Gank. 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.
I rate this album 4/5****!
