Tobacco = Total Confusion

Posted by Unpaid Arts Intern on Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 12:10 PM


Half of me really wants to understand all the blips and bloops and psychedelic neo-hip-hop gushing out of the Anticon Records roster, unearthing therein some vibrant urban nerd mystery. You know, to keep in touch with the underbelly. And the other half of me just wants to smash everyone of their artists in the face for how unconscionably innovative they are, unearthing therein my buried musical inferiority complex. I may have issues, but so does Tobacco, and I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. His new video for "Street Trash" from his forthcoming album Fucked Up Friends is purely hyperactive static, and the video is barely suggestive pseudo-porn (which I am NOT down with, so you can link that here if you're feeling saucy and/or loaded), but you can't get beefy with a nod to Max Headroom.
