The Crack Emcee "breaks the fourth wall" to describe the life he's resigned to in Donald Trump's Golden Age

Sign Here/Sign Out

One of my favorite tracks from the album "Rap's Creation (Planet Rock)

Desperate Measures

I Am (The Crack Emcee)

The Wrong Hole

An early demo that got damaged and had to be spliced (at the end) to be completed

Cops In The Hall

Burning biscuits is so delicious, with
sour milk in the early morn
Pork that’s turned is as good as something burnt
Food poisoning almost as good as porn
Horse radish done destroyed my salad
I found a roach somewhere on my ear of corn
Expiration date don’t mean that something’s late
It indicates don’t take it back to the store

I live on microwaved potatoes

A can of tomatoes sit on the table
Ain’t found a recipe to use them for
I got a burnt-up pan: set fire to water, again
Smoke’s everywhere, better open the door
Produce rotten, vegetables been forgotten
I got shit in the fridge that’s growing spores
Lotsa fast food boxes - yeah, I said ‘lotsa’
The ants, alone, are too much to ignore

I live on microwaved potatoes

Microwaved Potatoes

Street-level Rap, Emcee Crack
Y'all all high? All relaxed? 
Here's a flash - ain't shit changed:
Fucked-up nigga, fucked-up brain,...

Furious Marble

Listen, Kid, you gotta live, don't give
this Crack Emcee your time of day
This mothafucka gonna play you for a sucka
then all your shit gonna go away:
50 Cent used to be a whole dollar
Lil Wayne was a well-known scholar
Diddy once was a mothafuckin' saint
Rocks and some baby oil, now the nigga ain't
Vince Staple got 'em at the front door
Danny Brown don't want 'em no more
Without Crack ain't no Aesop Rock
This a real Odd Future, Chris Brown still hot
Drake's a mistake, Kendrick showed you that
like Childish Gambino in a culdesac
Run The Jewels? Nigga, he ran 'em
Eminem stood out like a banana
Cardi and Megan? Wet Ass Pussy?
Lettin' a nigga know shit work like it should be
Crack's still got it like Schoolboy Q
Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre ,and Madlib, too
The rock got you, the rock got me
The rock got every mothafuckin' body
The rock's got niggas up and down the block
Just a matter of time before Trump ban rock

Crack has worked with the Beatnigs (1988) Consolidated (1992) Broun Fellinis (1995) and his own Little White Radio (1998). The Crack Emcee has also been releasing a series of critically acclaimed solo mix tapes - starting with 1995's Newt Hates Me - that have solidified his reputation. This output morphed into his solo album, the anti-war Rap's Creation (2002) which was nominated for Album Of The Year (in, both, Rolling Stone and the Village Voice) and that year's list of Hip Hop's Best Anti-War Songs. Crack is listed as the artist of integrity in Donnell Alexander's memoir, Ghetto Celebrity, and is featured on the CD, Just Payin' The Rent: The Amoeba Music Compilation, Vol. II.
