Kokane & Clint Dogg - International Ganxtaz album review

Kokane & Clint Dogg - International Ganxtaz is a US-Australian rap album which has that heavy G-Funk influence with mixing and arrangements made by Kurt Kobane (former Death Row Records producer) and Clint Dogg. There is amazing talent and such outstanding brehsiveness on the album. This album is a bit more upbeat than his previous albums.

Kurt Kobane produced 9 songs for the album and Clint Dogg produced 4 songs for the album. A few of the beats were produced by 4 different people. A guy from Turkey produced beats for one of the songs on the album. Müzikalite Ent produced one of the beats for one of the songs on the album. Clint Dogg co-produced 2 songs.

The recording process of International Ganxtaz took 6 years. Clint Dogg first publicly announced the news about the International Ganxtaz on his Facebook profile on the date of December 31, 2016. The album was 96% complete at the time of announcement because Clint Dogg had to have just one more verse drop so he could then put some final touches on the album. The album was finally released on Xmas 2020 through Spotify.

Cherry Pie is a G-Funk love song with a romantic loving vibe, tone, and sound. Funk and soul meet rap on Cherry Pie thus creating a G-Funk fusion. The smooth laid back sound leaves much to be desired. This song is similar to those West Coast rap songs from the 1990s and 2000s. Clint Dogg did a killer job on the turntables with the vinyl scratches. The scratches do not overlap the rest of the instrumentation because those vinyl scratches you hear were set a medium level volume. Now some of the some of the synths sound similar to the synths and chords that were used in Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message.

All Nite Longis another solid song on the album which Kurt Kobane put in his solid efforts of his production into. His production words are what helped make the song memorable. Kurt Kobane put in that classic Death Row sound in All Nite Long.

Now the original version of International Ganxtaz was the back and forth duet between Clint Dogg and Kokane. The US-Australian rap collaboration. The original version of International Ganxtaz had contributors from countries such as Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Kurt Kobane brought forward that classic West Coast sound with a new fresh touch of modernized production on So High. So High is the best song on the album next to Mo & Mo.

Caravan of Thieves - Bouquet album review

Caravan of Thieves - Bouquet is a dark gypsy jazz album mixed with cabaret and orchestra instrumentation such as the strings section. But for the most part the album relies on that upbeat swing jazz sound. However sad heart-wrenching love songs such as Dr. Flynn and The Butcher’s Wife make the album sound morbid and gruesome for an album called “Bouquet”. Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars, upright bass, and violins are the foundation for mesmerizing vocal harmonies and fantastic stories. Which is what this album has and contains.


Dr. Flynn was the sad heart-wrenching love song that explained how Dr. Flynn could've been a very happy wife but her work and career in the medical field as a doctor came first. And her career as a doctor is what prevented her from becoming a wife. The things she did, choices she made, and words she said drove her man away.

Dr. Flynn could've been a very happy wife. Taking the hand of a man she had wanted all her life. But her work and career in the medical field as a doctor came first that year. She wanted respect. What she really wanted for herself to become was a highly respected doctor with a respectable reputation in the medical field. But Dr. Flynn was easy on the eyes and became the bosses pet. The things she did, choices she made, and words she said drove her man away.  Uncoincidentally Dr. Flynn pushed herself ignored her health and began to fall apart. Doomed is the soul who ignores their broken heart. The things she did and words she said drove her man away.

The choices we make and things we say create the hands of fate. That’s what they say. Sometimes you lose it all. Some people lose it all.

She was now for that love she found but she was too ill and out of faith to go searching for that love. That is what the lyrics “Desperate now for that love she found but too ill and out of faith” mean.  She accepts the hand of a lonely old man who only knows her name. Down she fell into a private hell to the middle where no one dreams. Where beauty and brains are things she will not need. Entitled girls who ignore the world with lies and make believe walk an easy road but wear coward's robes when they face eternity.


Ghostwriter is a story of dimensions near and far. This is one of those spiritual songs about ghosts.

Here comes that old wall. Like a smack in the back of a Cadillac. Only Empty Tales of material worlds from this underworld. That spirit who can lend a hand from all the way across the great divide is a ghostwriter.

Out blow the candles and lights. It’s now dead silent. Whispers softly come. At first just a few whispers. Then there are tons of whispers. Stories of dimensions near and far. Bugs with names. Three legs and flying cars. Catapulting through the universe. That spirit who can lend a verse from all the way across the great divide.


The Butcher’s Wife is a gruesome murderous bloody cautionary tale about why men should not attempt to flirt, sleep, or get friendly with the butcher’s wife. Gruesome and murderous are two words that can be used to describe this song. The string section makes the song eerie, bloody, sad, and creepy. Those violas playing those minor key notes and chords are what make the song eerie and creepy.

The butcher’s wife. She's a dish like a delicious buffet. Always on the play. A smile and a kiss on Christmas Day. But she's bound to make you ill and gorge against your will. And put flowers on her window sill. So you know this scene can have no happy ending. But in the while it’s worth pretending. If you care not to tango with a knife and be the next victim in line. If you care not to meet the afterlife. Then don't get friendly with the butcher's wife.

Admitting she is appetizing. The butcher’s wife is a tantalizing little tease Now you're in the freezer with Charlie, Mike, and Ebenezer. Be a man! She says he's working at the shop. And won't be home till 6 o'clock (6 PM). Now the butcher himself is breaking down the doors and locks So you know this scene can have no happy ending. This is a word to the wise. Avoid her like a bucket of flies. Don't look her straight in the eyes. Don't get friendly with the butcher's wife. Keep your hands off the butcher's wife!


Bar Isole is a slow tempo accordion driven jazz song about a woman who goes to Bar Isole for a drink while her husband is at work. The woman wonders if her husband is having a love affair with another lover behind her back without her knowledge. The song resolves with the woman going home to pack up her bags and leave him.

He leaves for work. She falls out of bed and she covers her eyes with a smile. Then she goes to the Bar Isole. He fills her glass with tender stares. Every lonely day while hubby's away. She wonders if her husband has a love affair with another lover behind her back without her knowledge.

His finger is bare. So she takes a sip and she covers her eyes with a smile. And she hopes he'll invite her upstairs. Today she's gone from blonde to black. Will he want her now? He isn't there. She wanders town only to find her husband arm in arm with another lover. The keep and her husband. She covers her eyes with a smile and goes home to pack up her bags.

Caravan of Thieves - The Funhouse album review

Caravan of Thieves - The Funhouse is another dark gypsy jazz album mixed with cabaret and orchestra instrumentation such as the strings section. Those driving gypsy jazz rhythms are certainly catchy. However this album is more educational and morally correct due to having songs such as Shim Sham which teaches people what goes around comes around. There are  mesmerizing vocal harmonies and fantastic stories which make the album enjoyable to listen to for all audiences.


Shim Sham teaches people what goes around comes around. That is the message and moral of Shim Sham. The song uses a big band sound layered with an 1880s style jug band sound also. The song uses the catchy old timey phrase, “shim sham honey!”.

The song explained the story of how a young and naive woman fell in love with a soldier who did not have her best interest at heart.

This young and young and naive woman fell in love landed in the city from the hills trying to find a ticket for a thrill ride. She knows he saw her coming. She was dumb and young. The young and naive woman fell in love with a soldier. He was too perfect. He was just like a spider. The more that she confided in him, the more his net widened. Who would have known that she had fallen for a backslider?

She should have seen it falling from the sky. She should have heard it walking down the aisle. She would have listened to the lessons but the kissin' was a weapon. But she understand completely now that love is deaf. What goes around comes around.


Sister Went Missing explains the story of the sister from a pair of twins who has gone missing.

These twins were babes in the playground. That is until one of the sisters of the twins sister went missing. They had rhythm in their spine and fire until one of the sisters went missing. All were smiling all the while.

Pink balloons fill the sky for miles and miles. Then the bells started swelling when one of the sisters went missing. And the fingers pointed from the jury when sister went missing. There were stones being thrown. Now the sister was gone. If justice isn't served, then they'll get what they deserve A fang for a fang. So the shots rang. Bang! Black balloons fill the sky for miles and miles. People were all content with the sentence until they heard her footsteps when the sister came home.


Raise the Dead was a gypsy jazz song about a séance of historical figures such as Amelia Earhart, Mozart, Joan of Arc, and Emily Dickinson. A séance is a summoning event in which people try to contact dead spirits. Raise the Dead paid homage, respect, and tribute to historical figures such as Amelia Earhart, Mozart, and Joan of Arc. The song gave medals of honor to all of the goners and deceased.

You're not still afraid of our dearly departed, right? Because Amelia Earhart, Mozart, Joan of Arc, and all of their friends are expected tonight. Listen now, we have little time so let's find some festive decor. Break out the candles, the cabernet, and strike up the band.

Let's all raise the dead and ask them to come to feast. A big celebration of past consummations and grand conceits. Let's all break some bread And merry down the boulevard. Give medals of honor to all of the goners and deceased. Don't you tell me that you don't recognize anyone. This is Miss Emily Dickinson. Go ahead and tell her that her poems really lived on for centuries. (Well decades to be exact.)

Life is strictly for the living like you and me. But tonight we are sharing despite this odd pairing you see.

Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer - I Say! album review

Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer - I Say! is a fine posh and exquisite example of Chap Hop. You have refined and sophisticated lyrics along with advanced topics. The album uses electro swing elements over rap lyrics. His songwriting is quite lengthy and extensive. Songs such as Hail the Chap and You Just Can’t some exquisite lengthy songwriting skills. Fans of educational rap will certainly enjoy this album. Conservatives that have problems with millennials can relate to this album since it has songs such as Hail the Chap and You Just Can’t.


Hail the Chap is a fine posh and exquisite example of Chap Hop You have refined and sophisticated lyrics along with advanced topics. Hail the Chap is backed by a vintage jazz sample and horn under a ukulele with electro swing elements over rap lyrics.

Mr.B vented about his disgust about millennials and how they’ve ruined society on Hail the Chap. When the millennial generation’s problems and feelings of unhappiness were approaching from the 21st century, Mr.B’s problems mostly consisting of things that he would consider improper such as hoes and aggressive rude brash men, He assumed a permanent fix to these problems by clashing them with his gentlemanly style. Before these millennials made boredom a normal state of being Mr.B and a few of his colleges fostered a movement of change to stop this from becoming the norm. As was the case in his song Modern Chaps.

The good old days of ancient Greece’s long standing art, history, and culture that has shaped much of Western society has been weakened and ruined by arrogant unambitious fools.

Although Mr.B’s whole schtick is his affectation for the Victorian era, the power-dynamic of a strictly passive male gaze is simply unacceptable in contemporary social morals. Not surprising considering the Victorian era was an era known for its emotional and sexual restraint. Conservatism was at an all time high during the Victorian era. Therefore under the contemporary rules of etiquette to be a “Chap”, it is necessary to acknowledge those you pass on the street with a doff of a hat (top your hat) and perhaps conversation. They are people, after all.

At the approach of the millennial malaise, there were blights with a need of a perennial braze. The age of the Corinthian, the plunderer, and the dandy had given way to that of the prig and the bore. Just before boredom became a modus operandi. Society is floundering in squalid desperation. And what's wanted to save it was a savvy publication.

Now Mr.B has often wondered how best to dress for wrestling. Between ties and cravats, which was the best thing? Were there really 73 ways to doff one's hat? There were!  You can stay in standard evolution. Mr.B and a few of his colleges fostered a movement of change to stop boredom from becoming the norm. Or come and join Mr.B and his colleges in their dandy revolution. Give your pipe a tap. Park your rattle trap. Raise your hat or cap. As we say, all hail The Chap!

Now we all know rules are there to be broken. But never have truer words been spoken than in the code hereafter. They’ve upped they standards. So up yours too! It's a call to charms. A design for living within a world so unforgiving where sloth and banality are the standard brew. Hear and read the 10 rules of The Chap manifesto.

    1.    Thou shalt always wear tweed is the only fabric you shall ever need.
    2.    Thou shalt never not smoke with pipes made from briar or booze aged in oak.
    3.    Always be courteous to the ladies.
    4.    Never ever wear denim pantaloons.
    5.    Thou shalt always doff one's hat if you're flaneur or simply like to stop and chat.
    6.    Never fasten the lower button of one's weskit.
    7.    Don't give the Westwoods a monopoly.
    8.    Never wear plimsolls if not doing sport unless you're a Chap Hop superstar sort.
    9.    Always worship the trouser press.
    10.    Always cultivate interesting facial hair. But on the top. Not under there. Moustaches and well-groomed beards are always appreciated, but neckbeards are a social no-no.


You Just Can’t explained the things you can’t do certain things in today’s modern society and on social media network websites like Facebook anymore. The song showcase how societal standards have changed during the digital age of information.  

As we slide down the razor blade of life these days, in many ways the malaise of modern life betrays the many wonders that abound and in equal ways confound. There's so much a chap can do that needn't cost a pound. One can natter to a flapper down under. As a matter of course until one is hoarse. Or call any resource. One can fly off to the colonies for gentlemanly bonhomie in cheerful friendliness.

But if the colonials bother Mr.B, he can order up a bombing spree and theatrical productions at the mere push of a button. Or simply move your house if you don't want to live in Sutton.
These days one can do just what one pleases such as buy exotic cheeses andcatch exotic diseases.
They can buy enough pornography on tap to fairly kill a chap.

But do take heed because it all could be a trap. Mr.B can tell by the gormless grin on your face that you think the modern world is a wonderful. However “most of us” know that is not all true thanks to global warming, political correctness, war, and racism.

But you just can't rape a goat these days it'll end up on your Facebook page thanks to advances in technology. If the public notices what you did to that goat, you'll have the authorities at your throat. You'll be in trouble in so many ways. You just can't confuse a billy or a nanny for a willy or a fanny because you'll have the local papers in a rage.

These days dirty little secrets never last now that privacy is a thing of the past. The merest misdemeanour can be seen upon a screen here people know what you have done and they know where you have been. A fart or a log will be part of a blog. Before your hands are washed and you emerge from the fog the cogs of the machine force one to keep it clean. Watch your step when you strap on the naughty trampoline. Freedom of speech is not freedom of expression. When the line's been breached you should learn a lesson. When the farmer come with his big shotgun, then run. Now that privacy's gone you'd better keep your schlong inside the members of the human race.

These lyrics explained how much of a nanny state the United Kingdom has become and how privacy is now a thing of the past in most ways. These lyrics also explain to people that freedom of speech is not freedom of expression and that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

These days dirty little secrets never last
Now that privacy is a thing of the past
The merest misdemeanour can be seen upon a screen
Where people know what you have done
And they know where you have been
A fart or a log will be part of a blog
Before your hands are washed and you emerge from the fog
The cogs of the machine force one to keep it clean
(Watch your step when you strap on the naughty trampoline)
Freedom of speech is not freedom of expression
When the line's been breached you should learn a lesson
When the farmer come with his big shotgun then run
Now that privacy's gone you'd better keep your schlong
Inside the members of the human race


Guy Debord is the philosophical song on the album which discusses philosophy. Mr.B was inspired by the philosophy of Guy Debord when he wrote this song. Take a train now with Mr.B to the land of 20th century philosophers. Bon, alors Maintenant.

The song begins with a conversation between Guy Debord and Mr.B talking about discussing names. There are a bunch of ambiguous names puns thrown throughout their conversation. When Guy Debord and Mr.B were bored He said to Mr.B, "It's not Guy, it's Guy" "It's Guy not Guy", said Mr.B. "That's right", said Guy Debord who was not Guy but Guy. "I see", said Mr.B to Guy not Guy.

"I see not why you mystify to keep your numbers low not highs. No way to revolutionise and change everyday life."
Mr.B asked his friend called Guy not Guy. "To make you see I have no time. Talk to my friend Raoul Vaneigem. You get it wrong quite every time.", said Mr.B, said to Guy.  "Do try to tell me why you fry. My mind with jargon. It’s so French." "It's Guy." Guy said all rather tense. "Sod you", Mr.B said and thence went off to find a serving wench.

A G&T was off to Mr.B while guys would spout philosophies to other guys. Their theories are absurdities. Escape these dull adversaries are such a bore although they're drunk. I'm amazed that they invented punk.

When Guy Debord and Mr.B were bored, Guy said to Mr.B, "It's not Guy, but Guy. And anyway, boredom's never ever revolutionary." They have a world of pleasure to win and nothing to lose but boredom. Ne travaillez, ne travaillez, ne travaillez, jamais!

5/5*****!

Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer - Dandinista album review

Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer - Dandinista is another Chap Hop album refined and sophisticated lyrics along with advanced topics. The album uses electro swing elements over rap lyrics. His songwriting is quite lengthy and extensive. The album has songs that are relevant to todays times such as You Don’t Send Me Penis Growth Pill Emails Anymore. More comedy rap with a light-hearted posh touch is used on this album.


Crumpet explained and exposed Mr.B’s addiction to crumpets.  

When Mr.B wakes up in the morning or last thing at night, there's only one thing that can make his constitution right. He craves a certain type of snack food in the daytime and he craves it at dusk. It's amazing how he is taken by its buttery musk. He declares and claims it's not a boast that he desires this certain type of snack food more than most. It's sweeter than the butter on a rapper's breakfast toast.

Mr.B is looking for his fix of crumpets. But he will still come back for more. And like a veteran he'll make it better than it was before. He always want more than he had before. He’s got a sweet tooth. Mr.B likes Crumpet. If you don't like it then you can lump it. It's an unhealthy addiction of his. Mr.B is a crumpetholic. There's only one thing on his mind and that's crumpet.


You Don’t Send Me Penis Growth Pill Emails Anymore is about those spam advertisements people receive in emails that sell penis growth pills. You Don’t Send Me Penis Growth Pill Emails Anymore is a comedy rap song that is relevant to todays times. Allow Mr.B please to welcome you all to the first ever internet nostalgia ballad.

When we were young getting online through the internet was just for fun. Life was simple. We were fine with a 56K loading time. Now it seems the more we're connected due to upgrades in technology, the more that walls have been erected. You have 3,000 friends who are not your friends. The trolling never ends. But there’s one thing Mr.B wants to know more than anything else. Mr.B used to wonder "Where did they get my details?" That was before. Now you don't send Mr.B penis growth pill emails anymore. A few good friends have seen it and some females just to gawk.

Make all nice joints as the gate creaks. Cats and hate speech. The first time you knocked an online one off, it took all night to download Pussy Bahnhoff. And that was just the home screen. A cartoon of a railway station. That was a full and free exchange of ideas.

Sub-equatorial businessmen have sent Mr.B emails with spam advertisements selling penis growth pills. Now even mysterious Russian women don't want a piece of him. You would end up feeling much more heinous than before. But you don't send Mr.B emails about his penis anymore.

5/5*****!

Pappi Kappi - Beautiful Covers That Will Make You Cry album review

Pappi Kappi - Beautiful Covers That Will Make You Cry is a hilarious cover album with cover songs of Akon songs to Lil Durk. But for the most part, Pappi Kappi was heavily inspired by Akon. The album is both hilarious and sad at the same time. The humor is flattering. Low quality fits Pappi’s comedic style.


FEMDOM is a kinky sexually explicit provocative cover of Akon - Locked Up. This is a femdom pornography cover version of Akon - Locked Up which revolves around the concept of female domination which is femdom.

Pappi Kappi steady trying to heal his scrotum from the abuse it's been through. Orgasm ain't gettin' no closer due to his dominatrix denying him a chance to have an orgasm which is orgasm denial. No matter how long he goes, his dick is swollen from laceration caused by various acts of BSDM. His balls are broken. That's what Pappi Kappi signed up for when he wrote the song FEMDOM. Pappi Kappi is into femdom which is female domination. She won't let Pappi Kappi cum. That's femdom. And orgasm denial.

Afterwards he is getting paper towels to clean up the mess from the cum (semen) and urine. He feels like his cock is on fire. His cock is experience pain to the fifth degree. Pappi Kappi called her his dommy mommy. That is the name he gave his dominatrix. But she took things way too fast. Pappi Kappi tried to hide from the lash. But as he tried to hold back, he remembered this is femdom and he is no longer in control of his body.


​nobody wanna see us 2gether is a cover of the 2006 song Akon - Don’t Matter. The low quality fits Pappi’s comedic style.

Pappi Kappi did not change or alter any of the lyrics to his cover. He kept his cover original by not altering any of the original lyrics.

[Chorus]
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you (Wah)
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no
'Cause I got you
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gonna fight
Fight for our love, yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no
'Cause I got you

[Verse]
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we'd last forever (uH)
I feel I'm hopin' and prayin' (Ah!)
Things between us gonna get better
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seems like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Tellin' you all those lies (Wah)
Just to get on your side (Wah)
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I try
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied

[Chorus]
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you (Wah)
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no
'Cause I got you
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gonna fight
Fight for our love, yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no
'Cause I got you

4/5****!

Slackjaw – Drive My Body / Come On And Get Free album review

Slackjaw – Drive My Body / Come On And Get Free is some beautiful nostalgic progressive house filled with a handful of breakbeat sets. The soundscapes provide some nice sounds. Drive My Body (Maserati Mix) uses some beautiful old school house music backed with a set of pianos. The bass lines fit in perfectly with those synths you hear in the background. This song is the definition of a piano anthem. Come On And Get Free will make you want to get wiggly and breakdance.

5/5*****!!
