originally i was gonna write up something about each song, but didnt nobody ask me to do that so there's no reason to hold up the process for it

if there's any questions tho ask away

Also, good interview, and to the wrestling thought

somebody saying “that shit gay” or “you know its all fake, right?” I’m on another level with mine. I can’t deal with the uninitiated.

thanks buddy. i really enjoyed the convo with mike as well, and i looooove that song.

[Brougham33]

imo...Mef's Lament and Picture Day are two of the best songs Mike has ever done. This dude nails why Picture Day is so awesome:

On one level, Open Mike Eagle's song "Degrassi Picture Day" is a playful, tongue-in-cheek song that shoots us through a time warp back to our grade school picture day. It's an experience we all share and Mike's clever writing ("A couple home girls cheesed they little faces off/ they happy cuz they finally got they braces off" and "It's my class' turn, we walk in single file/ that photo lady flirting with me cuz she need a smile") makes the memories more majestic than I ever could have imagined. When you put the song in the context of the modern rap scene though, its genius truly reveals itself.

Mike's drawn out flow is much more than than a dumbed down version of his usual style, it's his take on the presently in vogue style-over-substance commercial rap that floods the airwaves. Mike proves he can effortlessly mimic their shallow-but-witty rhymes all while metaphorically exposing the current radio friendly rap circuit for what it is- a childish, image based, popularity contest. It's almost as if Mike is saying "You wanna rap like a child? Here's how it's done."

Thanks guys, it took me a couple weeks of listening to that song for it to click what Mike was really doing, but when it hit me it immediately became one of my favorite songs of the year.

Also scrambled to get that Natural Causes CD ordered, been looking for that for months.

[Bear]

Amazing compilation!
Can't wait to order the cassette.

[mike eagle]

[Dids]

Holy Mike. That was fantastic.

Spent most of Verb's verse worried he'd knock the tablet off his bike.

[Brougham33]

Kegel killing everything lately, easily the best verse. Also...Parker?

[wuk]

a few things

1) dorner vs. tookie is the shit
2) mike killed that cypher...gonna have to rewind that because i'm sure i only caught half
3) when did dfd become parker?

[Sylissez]

Wow. That cypher was all kinds of dope. Mike is like in that the first time I listen to his verses I miss 90% of what he's talking about, so I keep rewinding just to hear every reference, then I have to get smart about what he's talking about, then I end up in a Wikipedia wormhole of individual episodes of 227 and I find myself ordering the entire series on Amazon with expedited shipping and missing a week of work in the process. Mike Eagle got me fired.

[Dids]

DFD talks about his transition to Parker (there's no real "when" I guess, it's gradual) on Tui's podcast.

Seems like a really weird idea to move from a cool, distinct name to (and yes, I know his last name is Park) something that already has a pretty strong associate (Richard Stark/Donald Westlake novels) in pop culture.

[mike eagle]

yeah when he explained to me why he wanted to change his name it makes a lot of sense. mostly just tired of being called 'dumb' all the time
