PUTS

This post is a bit more PG-13, kids, be forewarned. (if you can't handle rap, you can't handle this)

...can you kick it?? yes? YES you can?! Ladies and gents, put your paws up for PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS!


About three days ago, December 19th to be exact, underground hiphop G's Thes One and Double K of PUTS (peeps under stairs) rampaged on stage at the El Rey.

With Cut Chemist (Trivia: did you know that cut chemist, aka Lucas MacFadden, played the chemistry teacher in JUNO?), Ugly Duckling, & DJ Mark Luv on the lineup (subpar performances on all parties), L.A. rap (statistically targeting middle-class white fans)(white people LOVE rap music. According to "Stuff white people like" AKA my biography!) afficionados gathered round to appreciate/witness the prominent beat-droppers take hits (literally) on stage and play their chronology of song steppin' underground success.

It was long waiting for Cut Chemist to finish his set- doors opened at 830, PUTS (puts puts puts puts do you have it?) went on from 12-2ish-but plenty of time to hound down some booze and light up a joint, if you're into that sort of thing.

When lights dimmed, the curtains closed and reopened to reveal the drizzastic duo alongside random kids crackin' it up on stage to hype the already influence-induced crowd. The random accompaniment of stage-clan fans were sort of too much 'show' for the show, throwing both fries and people into the lack-of-moshing mosh.

Nonetheless, PUTS as anticipated Put-out for their fans as heads bopped, bodies jumped, & smoke filtered through the air.. the whole nine yds.

Samberg would say that This is an irresistible Raaap song (Raap song raap song dropping ones and fives and even TWOS!). Many blazed and enjoyed their ganja to said tune.This is probably one of their better-known ones:

Say What??:

My nigga Spliff was sippin' Becks, I'm slappin hands with Thes
Ok the shady spot so we can circulate the stress
Mary Jane invades my brain now I can't complain
I'm sayin what else is there to do besides relax
Let the problems in your mind become ancient artifacts
Perhaps these raps can help you alleviate
The things that's got you trippin, yo watch me demonstrate
First you ignore the nonsense and clear your conscience
Let your pen touch the paper write verbs and consonants
As the words become a sentence you start to feel indifferent
The stress is out your mind you feel like the weight was lifted
Terrific I'm glad we had this time to discuss
I'm outro call me if you want to blaze one up (uggg i hate weed songs)
