I showed off some rapping skills the other night on a song called "Blow It (Away)".
Y'all knew it was just a matter of time for me. Ever since the corporate rock station KROQ cut Rodney's time and therefore quit playing good music (around 1994), I started tuning in to a couple of the up-and-coming (at that time, now behemoth) hip-hop/R&B stations whenever I was in the car.
The clear result of this influence is my undeniable ability to rap.
So I started going to all the hip-hop clubs in L.A., showed off some skillz, won a few contests, and decided it was my time to share my rhyming and riffing abilities with Lassie Lovers around the world.
It's clear that my gangsta chops is tight--just listen to the new track when it drops this summer. You gonna hear some crazy shit.
OK. Well, maybe it's not a rap. And I don't have any rapping skills whatsoever.
But my interest in hip-hop is genuine, in part because it's definitely the most interesting music on the radio right now.
I guess I got a little carried away because of a certain section of Blow It in which the cadence gets a little quick.
Sorry for the fantasy sequence.
Now, there's another song that's got a real Isley Brothers moment...
