I don't know how else to go about saying this, so I
might as well start the review with this one important
fact and get it over with: There is a track on this
EP, a collaborative effort between rapper Tonekrusher
Smith and producer Egypto Knuckles, about constant
gastrointestinal distress. It is called "Bad Guts,"
and after two-plus minutes of graphic descriptions of
what Dave Chappelle once referred to as "mud butt,"
its punch line consists of Frugalis's inexplicable
inability to utilize this particular condition for a
particular sex maneuver named for a city along the
Cuyahoga River. This is probably where I lose many of
you, and to be honest I understand completely.
In fact, that's more or less the point of the album.
The Sunday School EP is a deliberate effort to provoke
more "oh no he didn't"s per line than any local rap
record just about ever, and depicting yourself as a
stingy, deranged sex fiend who sounds like he lives in
an underfurnished basement apartment is a pretty
direct route. Fortunately, only Tonekrusher's Blowfly
-caliber subject matter is crude; the fact that he
delivers it with a lyrical dexterity and a self-aware
knowledge that he's crossing the line helps drive home
the joke. (It all peaks with "The Man," where he takes
credit for every bad thing to happen to a famous
person, from Hammer's bankruptcy to the Vikings sex
boat scandal.) Suitably enough, Egypto's tight yet
off-kilter production is this weird, decrepit sort of
sleazploitation funk that sounds like it was put
together for some low-budget porno comedy, which is
what Sunday School basically is--a sex-style Kool
Keith in a scene filled with love-needy LLs.
