- NOTES
Throughout the history of hip-hop, the true measure of an
MC has been based on two main factors - the strength of
his microphone skills and the depth of his posse. The
encyclopedia of rap is packed with the tales of legends
like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five; Doug E Fresh
and the Get Fresh Crew; Notorious B.I.G. and his Junior
M.A.F.I.A.; and Dr. Dre and the Death Row camp of
all-stars. Now, with his solo debut Prepare For Impact,
Tom Green returns rap to itÆs purest form by dropping
rhymes as potent as nuclear bombs while flanked by the
mighty KeepinÆ It Real Crew.
Those familiar with the roots of Tom Green know that as a
teen in the early '90s he was a founding member of
Canadian rap unit Organized Rhyme. In the course of their
short career, the group released a major label album
titled "Huh!? Stiffenin Against The Wall" for A&M Records Canada;
toured with international breakout jazz-rap innovators
Dream Warriors; dropped the hit single "Check The O.R.",
and even earned a 1992 Juno Award nomination.
"We took it real serious," Tom remembers of the era. "I
made all the beats, and we wrote rhymes. When we started
out we would just play at the school talent show.
Hardcore, eh? But then we started playing clubs and
making demos. Eventually we went down to New York City and
recorded our album with a producer down there. It was
awesome."
Mysteriously, after that one record, the unit quietly
disbanded and Tom seemingly hung-up the microphone to
pursue what would become a wildly successful television
and film career.
However, as any true school MC who has felt the rush of
spitting lyrics in front of a crowd will tell you, giving
up the craft of rhyme ainÆt that easy. So, while
inhabiting the mainstream media spotlight as the host of
the TV hit "The Tom Green Show" and in big screen flicks
including Road Trip and the upcoming Bob The Butler; Tom
was busy behind the scenes in his home studio inking lines
in his rhyme book and manipulating funky beats from the
sampler. With a forum to keep his skills up to par while
still remaining on the down low, Tom waited for the
perfect opportunity to again make a run at rap domination.
Kicking off a chain of events sure to become a fabled
chapter of hip-hop lore, Tom hired DJ EZ-Mike (a.k.a. Mike
Simpson of super-producer duo The Dust Brothers) to score
a flick he was writing, directing and starring in called
Freddie Got Fingered. EZ-Mike's resume included working
with hip-hop luminaries like The Beastie Boys, Biz Markie
and Young MC, and there was an immediate chemistry between
him and Green. "Tom gave me an Organized Rhyme cassette a
few years back and I was shocked by his rhyming skills,"
recalls EZ-Mike. "I knew that Tom was a B-Boy at heart - I
could tell from the O.R. cassette that when it came to
hip-hop, heÆs all about keeping it real."
Quickly clicking as friends, the pair continued to hang
out after the film wrapped. One day, while sitting around
TomÆs crib discussing hip-hop; a revelation was made. ôWe
just looked at each other one day, and said "Let's make a
recordÆ," Tom reveals. "So we did."
Considering that his first foray into hip-hop was as an
unknown teenage skate-punk from Ottawa, presumably the
stakes would be higher now that Tom returns to the game as
a known celebrity. "No, they're actually lower now," he
laughs. "It's something that both Mike and I are just
having so much fun doing and it doesn't feel like work in
any way. Even doing my television show, or shooting a
film, it can feel like work sometimes. But making this
record was never a chore. So, we just figured we should
push the record out there, æcause we are having a blast."
When the record was nearing completion, Tom decided to
take the unfinished album on the road to preview the music
for the legions of Tom Green fans. So, in the spring of
2005, rap fanatics got their first taste of the hip-hop
magic possessed by the Tom-assembled Keepin' It Real Crew.
Dubbed the "My Bum Is On Your Lips Tour," the five city
jaunt was the formal introduction to the K.I.R.C., Tom
Green, DJ EZ-Mike, pro-skateboarder 'Playboy' Jeremy Klein
and MC Shawn Anthony. True to the hip-hop super-posses of
yesteryear, The KeepinÆ It Real Crew was quick to display
its collective power to keep the crowds amped.
"The Crew came together pretty naturally, and everyone has
their distinct role," explains Tom about the soon to be
legendary posse. "Without question, 'Playboy' Jeremy Klein
delivers the hype. DJ EZ Mike brings beats, cuts, and he
is also our enforcer when unwanted guests won't leave our
hotel room. Shawn Anthony is irreplaceable, straight up.
MC Bones (a.k.a. myself), well.. I like to write rhymes
and act like an asshole."
During the teaser tour, the K.I.R.C. tore through London,
Hamilton, Barrie, Kingston and Ottawa with what was
undeniably one of the largest stage spectacles in rap
history. The Crew kept the masses in check by dropping fat
rhymes over top of booming beats, while flinging stuffed
animals into the crowd; cooking scrambled eggs to be
handed out to fans from the side of the stage; downing
obscene amounts of Jagermeister; and bringing actual
Hooters waitresses clutching steaming platters of wings
onstage during the track "I Like Hooters". Luckily for
those who couldnÆt hit one of the shows, a camera crew
tagged along for the entire tour and a DVD featuring
backstage antics, live performances of album cuts
(including the lead single "Teachers Suck"), and general
road mayhem is included in the Prepare For Impact package.
"Prepare For Impact" is an endlessly funky, old-school-influenced
album that brings originality back to the rap scene.
Showcasing both DJ EZ-Mike's gift for crafting the ear-pleasing
loop and Tom's humour-laced verbal gymnastics, the record is
a refreshing offering in the often cookie-cutter contemporary rap
landscape. From the Soul Assassin-hinting dirty funk of "Write Rhymes
and act Like An Asshole," to the hallucinatory celebrity name-checking
"People In My Neighborhood", to the old-school braggadocio flow of
"I'm No Comedian", the album proves true Tom's boast that,
"If wrecking the mic is a drug, then I'm a dope fiend."
