‘I Got 5 On It’ with Dialectrix
If I could steal anyone’s flows and cadences in the game, it would most probably be from Dialectrix. Unfortunately I would waste all that amazing talent spittin about Burger Rings, Macgyver re-runs and longnecks. We decided to throw some questions with out ‘I Got 5 On It’ quiz.
Chester P or Jehst?
Damn! Thats hard right off the bat! This to me all comes down to timing. Had I been asked this 3-4 years ago it probably would have been Jehst. Like many younger MC’s in this country High Plains Drifter was one of those seminal records that all those young ‘lyrical rapity rappers’ liked and I was definitely one of those dudes, yet I hated a lot of the dudes who overrated Jehst as they were usually pretentious hippy wankers for some reason.
All that aside I’ve always respected Jehst as a wordsmith. He’s got the ability to make me focus on his imagery rather then get lost in his word flow which is a rare and talented gift I reckon and his influence on Australian rappers is huge. Having said that Chester takes this in my books. He can be equally as convoluted and as esoteric as Jehst yet Chester has been more prolific and is far better at hitting home with conscious subject matter and has more of a sting to his bars when he’s passionate about what he’s talking about. To me Chester P is a mans rapper Jehst is more of a boys rapper and unfortunately I’m turning into an old man.
Streetfighter of Tekken?
KILLER INSTINCT!! CO-CO-CO-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!!! Um….. yeah…. Streetfighter hands down. My big bro is a die hard Tekken head and he’s swayed me over the years but Streetfighters unfuckwitable (unless Killer Instinct is involved!)
The Beatminerz or The Beatnuts?
I have more respect for the Beatminerz ‘cause of their crazy catalogue of history yet I’ve got more sentimental attachment to the Beatnuts as they were one of the first groups that got me into rap heavily and I copped their shit when it dropped rather then checkin them retrospectively like a lot of the earlier shit from the 90’s. If I was offered a beat by the two I would pick the Beatminerz though
Stress: The Extinction Agenda or Clear Blue Skies
You’re an arsehole! Shiiiiieeeeeet! Breeze and Pharaohe are both in my top 5. This is bullshit! As albums I would have to go with Stress.. overall but I think there are moments in Clear Blue Skies that I think are better. That “Damn-it-to-hell-again-I-feel-my-brain-swell-like-meningitis…” flow Breeze does is one of my favourite verses of all time and the album as a whole is stoopid! But Stress to me is more consistent with more classic tracks as a whole but… it would depend what mood I’m in I guess.
De Niro or Pacino?
Pacino’s done less cheese. He fucked it with the coffee ads but. Taxi Driver is one of my all time favourites and I like it better then Scarface that must make me an emo punk or something I’m just going to say De Niro on that alone fuck it.
Go make sure you vote for Dialectrix in the Triple J Hottest 100. He has his awesome Like a Version of “Buy Me A Pony” and the track “Priceless” with Pegz and Joe New. CLICK CLICK.
