“i dont wanna sound like a dick, but your chart says youre fucked up. you talk like a fag and your shits all retarded.” its a damn shame that mike judge’s latest flick idiocracy didnt make it past week 2 at the theaters. i am guessing that its going to gain a office space like cult following after a year or so. it’s definitely funnier and smarter than the above mentioned judge flick. idiocracy works much in the same way as office space. its hilarious cause its not far off from our own personal realities or in idiocracy’s case, not far from a possible sad reality. the only thing that keeps idiocracy from being the hit that office space was, is that it will probably offend more than it humors.
somehow about three weeks ago, the coup’s pick a bigger weapon ended up on my ipod. me thinks i drunkingly dowloaded it via emusic, i think this cause it was in my emusic folder. i, of course, had heard of the coup but had never listened to ‘em. my knowledge of their existence stemmed from the shit storm of controversy stemming from their 01 release, party music. it wasnt the music that caused the controversy, although it ended up being #8 on the pazz and jop poll, but the art work depicting the coup blowing up the world trade centre. a cover that had reportedly been in the can several months before 9/11. anyway, i still have not heard party music, but if its half as good as pick a bigger weapon it will be the second or even best hip hop record i have heard in a long while.? head couper and mastermind, boots riley, melds various styles that on paper sound like a nightmare, but the end product sounds like a political science major mc’ing an ass shakin block party.? that still doesnt really do the coup’s choice of style/lyrical offerings justice.? check ‘em out to make up your own lame comparisons.
