It's my day off of work! And you know what that means...two paragraphs on a rap song you've probably never heard before! If you don't like that, then you may now exit in an orderly fashion to your right. Today's artist? The always-stellar Rockwell Knuckles. Since last summer's You're Fucking In I'm Fucking Out I've been hooked like a fish. Now this summer it's time for something new. I came across "Helmet" sometime last week, and since then it's been a repeat of 2011. Find Rocky Knuckles song. Listen to ten thousand times. Blog.
"Helmet" is driven by the looping electric guitar in the background, as well as Rocky's slick rhymes. These are the rules of engagement, I follow them, problem is being mediocre doesn't bother them. And is that a Fight Club reference in working like Tyler Durden, put 'em on a mission? Oh, Rocky, where have you gone? "Helmet" is simply proof that Rockwell Knuckles is no one-note rapper. He's got a sleeve full of tricks and will hopefully be around for several more summers.
