by Buck 65

supported by

Brett Davidson The pure grittiness of this album gets me hyped. Lots of goodies for pure hip hop heads and also proudly a product of Canada. Favorite track: This Is A Joke.

linqsikks From the original cassette to the re-press... this album is just pure gold no matter the variation. Forever a classic, and a proudly Canadian release. Favorite track: Beatles Break.

about

This album was originally released on double cassette in 1996. It's a compilation album of songs recorded between 1992 and 1996. Lyrics of a few of the songs were written in the 80s.

Some songs from the original cassettes have been dropped here. A few - "Kiss My Ass" and the Wildlife trilogy have been previously uploaded.

A song called "F****n' Chicks, Huh?" has been dropped because it stinks. When the song was written (1991, I think), I thought I was clever. I was attempting to take the piss out of the jugheads I lived with in residence in my second year of university. In particular, I didn't like the way they talked about women. But my execution of the song was poor and listening to it now, I just come across as a dick. In making fun of those guys, I just sound like one of them. I failed to make the point I wanted to make. I hereby repudiate that song.

I have also added a bunch of stuff that doesn't appear on the cassettes but was recorded during the same period.

Notes on some of the other songs from this album are included in their descriptions.

Apparently, I was tone deaf when I made many of these beats. So be warned, the dissonance may make your ears bleed.

"Billy" is a breath of fresh air. A collaboration between two equally capable artists, showcasing perfect intercompatibility. I hope to hear more from Tom and Rich! They make a great team. linqsikks

I've missed old school anticon (and affiliated), such an influential part of my late teens and early 20s. My old record store had a section dedicated to leftfield hip-hop when I was growing up, this is exactly what I've been missing, and would've gone straight in there. I only hope we get more of Dose, Buck, and Jel together. El Bleak

When I say this record reached out from my tiny iPhone and grabbed my medulla oblangata, squeezed it until hyper-lysergic goo spritzed across the room, I am engaging in hyperbole. When I say this album is the best beat tape I’ve heard in years, I am spitting facts. Love love love!! Jay Hodgson
