| | Early in the 00s, there was a war. A gruesome war. There were The | |
| | Infesticons, naturally the all-round good guys, and there were | |
| | The Majesticons, grotesque robots intent on transforming the | |
| | world into a paradise only for the ?beautiful people.? In the | |
| | midst of this battle, both groups somehow found time to saunter | |
| | on down to a recording studio and create stunning and criminally | |
| | underrated cerebral hip-hop records. 2000 saw the release of Gun | |
| | Hill Road, a sparse and eerie voice of the underground, while | |
| | 2003 found The Majesticons' Beauty Party, a cripplingly ironic | |
| | lambasting of gangsta rap culture through their own words. | |
| | | |
| | Behind all this fantasy is one man: Mike Ladd, the Lewis Carroll | |
| | of rap. In imagining this mad world, he dismantled what was | |
| | happening to rap music both worldwide and in broader terms to | |
| | globalization. Rather than moaning from a crusty bedsit, he | |
| | portrayed the power of "authentic" rap culture over the | |
| | superficial nature of much rap music without even mentioning the | |
| | words "guns," "bitches," or "bling." | |
| | | |
| | It would seem, then, that Ladd?s epic narrative had reached its | |
| | conclusion. But The Infesticon story was always meant to be in | |
| | three parts. Where are we now? Here is Ladd?s analysis of the | |
| | situation: | |
| | | |
| | The Infesticons Marching Band went and hid in the bunker for they | |
| | were not really warlike and had joined so they could play in the | |
| | band. And yea they missed out on most of the mayhem above and | |
| | yeah they lost all contact with the world and yea they got pretty | |
| | bored and yea they made a mixtape and some demos on a four track | |
| | and some other stuff and yea this is what remains. And yea the | |
| | war long over and yea no one cares and yea the last Infesticons | |
| | have emerged from the bunker and yes they will play live. | |
| | | |
| | Indeed, The Infesticons seem to have lost their grip on reality, | |
| | their assertion that they were on the right side: they have | |
| | succumbed to sleaze. ?Lick you slow until you push me off/ It?s | |
| | your world but baby I?m the boss,? they croon on "Dirty Ol? Men | |
| | Anthem." ?Shoulda jacked ya, shoulda jacked ya/ Throw you off the | |
| | jungle gym and make it like an accident,? screams Ladd on opener | |
| | "Blockin? Door Anthem." The apathy of a generation is perhaps | |
| | best summed up in "Bombs Anthem": ?Food prices up/ Empires fall/ | |
| | Stick with the drag of life/ Wanna scratch my balls." | |
| | | |
| | As a continuation of a concept, it?s an intriguing statement. Is | |
| | Ladd trying to tell us that we?ve all succumbed to the mass | |
| | media? That any attempt to act 'alternative' is nothing more than | |
| | a pathetic facade? That we?ve accepted aspects of society we | |
| | never should have? | |
| | | |
| | Musically, Ladd is venturing again into unexplored territories. | |
| | Fuzzed-out guitar loops and garage rock beats are reminiscent of | |
| | The Black Keys' Blackroc rap collaborations, but the record lacks | |
| | the experimental edge or the variety of previous efforts. Rap | |
| | lines are delivered in a similar fashion throughout, and only the | |
| | raga-tinged ?Word Sin Anthem? offers respite from the lyrical | |
| | onslaught. | |
| | | |
| | Bedford Park is another heavily thought-through record for Ladd, | |
| | who patches up musical crevices with his concept. He perhaps sums | |
| | this up best when speaking about the album: ?The rumour persists | |
| | that there are GIs in the jungles of Vietnam who still believe | |
| | Richard Nixon is president. In much the same way, there are | |
| | people living in the jungle of our cities who still believe in | |
| | reality who seem to think we?re living somewhere other than | |
| | Disney. Call them the Infesticons and think of a Vietcong for | |
| | reality?s last (virtual) battleground.? | |
