...never gotta piece of fan art 
white people be safe against cancer and tan smart 

i'm here to help unlike ya predecessors did us darkies 
it's cool, just a splash of crimson on a bigger art piece 

a little scarlet courtesy of the patriarchy 
they brainwashing the kids don't let em play with barbies 

mannn when they start sellin' parfait at arby's? 
i bet it's made from the barf from eating them burgers 

i broke the rhyme scheme to talk about disgusting food 
been double-crossed too much to truly be a trusting dude 

mostly i miss out on the topics of them hot discussions 
i'm not the best at following pizza-box instructions 

never owned a car with the trunk in the front 
but more than once i did succumb and be drunk 

definitely been too encumbered to duck 
even the most sluggish of punch but luckily 
chumps neva wan romp wit me, whaaaaat 


i'm seeing coffee beans in my dreams 
caffeinated cartoony things with goofy wings 

and bluish strings 
i should switch to tea like a 
crucified jewish king 
oh, tea got caffeine too? 

it went to OT but now the score like 3-2 
us you 
"big ups dude, we all know you rock it well" 


i feel like pachabel 
working at a taco bell 
living off redbull and pasta shells 

but you 
you're too mean kid, too heavy handed bruh 
shouts out to #coownaz, catch you in bevlandia 

i got sodas, sobes, calypsos 
and shit luck, soon as i get my stroke, my hip goes 

ain't gotta crowd like the baauers and the diplos 
but i got head in the shower in a pimped pose 

used to try to sneak through the dark but when i tip-toed 
either the floor would creak or i'd kick some painful shit DOH 

then homer simpson whole affair 
judge throw the book at me, i throw a chair 
like "what the fuck you say, homie, i'm going where?" 

another booty ghost, jumpsuits and nutraloaf 
yall sucralose, my calls' super close

illingsworks.bandcamp.com/album/giant-slide

ANIMATED COVER https://38.media.tumblr.com/aebc8eec2847060a391728b662f112ef/tumblr_n7zk8dDQkE1qazvv5o1_500.gif

The giant slide is an actual existing thing that many Detroiters probably know very well. It resides on Belle Isle, an island-park in the Detroit River.

To utilize the giant slide, you have to wait in a line and climb a bunch of stairs. At some point in this process, you’re given an empty potato-sack. When it’s your turn, your put your body on that sack and you take a really quick and fun ride. Unlucky sliders who didn’t keep all limbs safely on the sack hold tightly to the memory of those fun-filled scars, even if those scars are now too small to perceive.

There’s a life-lesson in there somewhere. Maybe. I don’t know.

Jay The Grate - SURVIVALIST - bit.ly/TJxe7P

bit.ly/rapmasters. every now and then, we fall through with something a little more sensitive. this is one of those rare occasions. 

sean upperthanks: 
get a few mounds of my lovely wife Dayna, mix in a handful of my family, add a bunch of CYDI/Stryfe/AOG, fold into the mix my awesome friends, stir in a bottle of universal creative life-force. bake it at temperature love in a God oven and voila. grateful cake from sean uppercut 

the world is crazy, and can suck really bad, and we can get hung up on the bad things. our protest is exuberant joy in the face of oppression. if you feel better at the end of this than when you first pressed play, we've done our job. rambling. 

Rufio Jones says: Thank you to my mom and my Carmelita for keeping me alive. 

Stryfe says: I want to thank God. Mom. Dad. Shellie. Rae. CYDI. And Ignant Nate... 

ILLingsworth says: on December 25, 2008, with great help from a cool Sundsvall-resident named Erik L, a trio of rapper-bros released a whimsical project called “The Rhyming Dictionary”. it led them down a really cool path of crazy performances in strange places with cool characters, and for me, meeting the love of my life (yes, Brandi, i’m talking about you). nice life-changing stuffs. 

in case it wasn’t clear, i’m talking about my group, Detroit CYDI. between then and now, we’ve released singles, videos, and solo material but, never a true follow-up project (here comes the cliché), UNTIL NOW. 

the name of this project is “Rap-Masters”, a title inspired by a fantastically fun and crappy keyboard called the the Concertemate-800 Rap-Master, lent to us by Rufio Jones’ sweet-lady, Carmelita (the fact that she ever possessed such an item is also a source of great hilarity). this project features another of our brothers, Stryfe, who also appeared with us on our first group project, as well as several collaborations. it would be nice to say this project is 6 years in the making but, that wouldn’t exactly be true. a couple months ago, i pitched the idea of having some sessions for the purpose of putting out some new music on December 25, 2014. my brothers were down for it and they delivered in spades. a large portion of this material was completed very recently. this time around, i handled overall production but it was definitely a dynamic collaborative exchange of energy as everyone’s input helped to shape mere beats into living, breathing songs. it was an incredibly enjoyable time putting this material together and i speak for the crew in saying, we hope it brings you at least as much enjoyment as we had making it.

Detroit CYDI is Sean Uppercut, Rufio Jones, Doc ILLingsworth, & Stryfe (he's just one dude by himself most of the time but, he's with us on this. I mean he's essentially like a full member of Detroit CYDI, kind of like a Big Noyd. You know what I mean).

@ILLingsworth - OLD MAN RAPS bit.ly/oldassman

Quick story: I heard the beat on YouTube and immediately got inspired to write a tune about my glasses, of all things. I hit up producer Ohbliv for permission to drop something on it, and he kindly OHbliged (ha!) me without even hearing the rhyme first. When you read this, sir, thank you again. I really enjoyed rhyming on the beat, and I hope you dig it. Oh, and YOU, you reading this right now, I hope you dig it too. The beat comes from Ohbliv's instrumental project, New Black Renaissance (Side B). http://ohbliv.bandcamp.com/album/new-black-renaissance-side-b. I suggest you buy it if you haven't already. Twitter me up at http://twitter.com/illingsworth and Twitter up Ohbliv at http://twitter.com/ohbliv. Go check out his Tumblr, too. http://0hbliv.tumblr.com/.
