it was a typical summer night - typical for me, anyway. the rain poured
through my open window, splattering my files of unsolved cases. my fifth
storey room glowed neon bulbs outside advertising the fifth and corruption
of a city that couldn't be saved, silhouettes of fading souls flickering
across the walls...i was going outtta my mind. i needed a job, and it
needed to be goddamn funky. just then, a beautiful afro-american woman
walked straight in, without knocking. my name is bahamadia, she said, you
may have heard of me. of course i had heard of her... her silky lyrics were
renowned throughout the world.
the missing suitcase was the problem. the case had been stolen by the
herbaliser, the infamous horn-playing sample driven jazz-funk monster who
had carved his name across traditional jazz dancefloors and scrawled his
tag across the hip-hop hall of fame. the missing suitcase was full of fast
and funky movement, a testimony to speed-jazzage laced with bass that could
only have come from the future. this was gonna be trouble - if the contents
of the suitcase were leaked, i was afraid of the consequences - hysteria
across dancefloors, pandaemonium on the airwaves.
i had no choice - i enlisted the help of the damsel bahamadia. we knew how
hungty the herbaliser was for liquid-laced vocals to mangle in his brass-
toothed jaws - i hoped that when the beast heard her dulcet tones, he would
reveal himself. when i asked the queen what she would say, she simply
smiled. i'll just tell those naughty boys about when i shine... they won't
be able to resist.
