Quizzo Tonight


First of all, a shoutout to CGA who won a thriller last night at the Invitational. More details on that soon. In the meantime, I will be at Sidecar tonight at 9:30 p.m. You know how we do it. All new quiz.

I also wanna get into the habit of posting some underrated tunes I dig when I write these nightly promos. I really enjoy the music portion of the gig, and I wanna share some of the tunes I enjoy on the site as well, just to give some life to these posts. These songs won’t usually be a part of that week’s quiz, just trying to introduce you guys to some new tunes.

Today’s song is What’s Up Fatlip? I love songs that are so damn honest they will break your heart. This is one of those songs. Fatlip was part of the Pharcyde, a group that completely blew the world away in the early 90s with the song “Passing Me By” and the groundbreaking album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. But the group fell apart in the late 90s and Fatlip tried to go solo. In 2000, he released this song, and followed up with a solo album in 2005. Neither the song nor the album got the attention they deserved. The video is great too, directed by Spike Jones. Pretty much the opposite of every rap video that came out at the time. Just great stuff all around.
