MF Grimm – "You Only Live Twice: The Audio Graphic Novel" – @@@1/2 (review)

Pizzo — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 03:46:25 +0000

You remember the 90s right? The classic east coast rap video images: flaming trashcan, circle of jeeps underneath a train track and it was always nighttime. This was the era MF Grimm came out of the era he was made for. His last album featured classic east coast production along with Wu-Tang samples and angry, yet real, lyrics.

On You Only Live Twice MF Grimm is back for more. Grimm’s been gone for a few years, but he’s back with Kung Fu skits, Looney Tunes samples and an album length story that’s a lot more digestible than the Gingerbread Man persona on his last record.

Grimm’s never been the best rapper. but he’s a good lyricist. The man raps with anger and you can hear the fierceness in his words. He believes in what he says. He’s not doing it for Cristal and Cadillacs, he’s doing it because its what he does. On the track “I Am King” he spits like he believes it over bursting horns and bass beats.

The production on his album stands with the best on American Hunger, Grimm’s triple disc epic from a few years back. That being said, it’s a still a ways away from Just Blaze or Kanye, but there’s still room to grow. Halfway through the album, “Medicine” stands out as a sample, as it is stretched out hauntingly over a sparse beat. The drums could use some more life on this album, however.

Grimm’s familiar theme of life after death comes back on “Waiting”. Heaven and Hell is something that’s been in MF Grimm’s lyrics more often than not. On “Waiting” he raps over a beat that sounds like angels flying over hell, rising up through the rocks in the ground. He continues with his theme on “Angel Without Wings” rhyming confidently about his skills, but still not happy in his lyrics.

“Last Days” is probably the most upbeat song of the whole album. Over a electric guitar sample and some loose vocals, Grimm speaks about the “Last Days” like a man ready to embrace them, or perhaps not.

Grimm has a great voice and believes in what he says. He’s one of the most confident MC’s alive and its easy to see how he came back from being crippled to put out three albums, a comic book and start a record label. He talks about being shamed, being in prison, being shot, but the man keeps coming back, Grimm can’t stop, won’t stop.

MF Grimm – "Girlfriend" (MP3)

Pizzo — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:19:47 +0000

Aight look, MF Grimm hates – hates – when dudes wear skinny jeans. So much in fact that he dedicated an entire song to it, thanks to producer Twiz The Beat Pro, who offered up the track for free download. This is probably one of the more hilarious rant records I’ve heard in a while that doesn’t have to do with “the current state of hip-hop” *yawn*. Enjoy.

MF Grimm – The Downfall Of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera

Peter Agoston — Tue, 01 Jan 2002 07:00:00 +0000

The story of Percy Carey is a disheartening one. Pronounced dead on the scene from the infliction of 8 gunshot wounds to the body, Carey who’d recorded arguably the most memorable verse of his career (that being, KMD’s “What A Niggy Know” remix) only days before the shooting was faced with frighteningly never being able see the fruits of his artistry grow. Miraculously brought to life by medics, only to be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, the artist then regarded as Grimm Reaper would return to Rap, recording and releasing a bevy of material throughout the major-label decline and indie-rush of the mid-to-late Nineties. Appearances on albums from Kurious to Kool G Rap garnered massive attention outside of the tri-state, which would then be parlayed into a handful of singles (released namely from longtime NYC radio supporters Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito) all characteristic of the venom-spit born on that KMD b-side so long ago. But as fruition came to be, no sooner, does the re-christened MF Grimm find himself incarcerated in an upstate New York penitentiary.

Without divulging further into the personal life of Carey, this, his debut full-length, marks the steady work of Grimm’s step past meager 12″ fame. Fans of his shared namesake, MF Doom, will gravitate towards the metal-fingered touch upon the album’s production bulk, and while others contribute, it’s the two together that create the wildly vivid successes of this album. “Life And Death”, a mild musical rehash of the title cut from KMD’s catalog, finds Grimm flexing poetic about his metaphorical pull-push relationship with Life, Death and mistress Coma – a wonderfully written fable only sadly sweetened by the sorrowful history of both Grimm and Doom. “I.B.’s” another Grimm/Doom connection sizes up similar concepts of love lost atop an oddly emotionally backbeat. As Grimm ponders the faithfulness of a lover while behind bars the lingering Audio Two snippet (“I stole your girl while you was in prison”) only ads insult to the penned injury. With 8 songs produced by Doom and a handful more co-produced by the Villain, musically you may be able to gauge the variety found throughout. That’s not to take away from other contributors behind the board, Dr. Butcher and DJ Eli make noteable appearances yet for outsiders it’s dminor and Count Bass-D that take precedence. dminor’s wrapping pianos atop “Together” roll Grimm along superbly for his “story about retarded nigga”. As The Count (who just also released an album through the rising Day By Day imprint) equates the Doom atypics with a powerfully soulful Stevie Wonder chop on “Words”, as Grimm sums these equally wildly emotional albums with “Lord why do you love me? I don’t even love me. Doing things forbidden. Giving into temptation. Murdering your creation. Breaking bread with Satan. My soul feels so cold…dancing with the devil, music feels so evil”. The world is a cold place, yet from prison Grimm reminds his listener the possibility of happiness through music.
