I recently got a chance to sit down with DJ Demon and Sketch from The Icons for an interview. And by “interview,” I mean I sat to the side while they kicked it back and forth with ill stories about The Improv, Future Shock vs. Future Shock beef, and like doing a super-group project pretty much because someone mistook a big b-boy battle for an emcee battle. Hopefully, I can somehow find time to transcribe some of it in the somewhat near future.
On top of all the dope stories, Demon also shared a bunch of tight music with me that I’m just barely scratching the surface of. The album that caught my attention the most on first glance was Nomad’s Where The White Women At? As Demon describes him, Nomad is a black rapper who hates black people but still happens to be really dope. That description immediately brought to mind one of my favorite Chappelle Show sketches (above). Add to that the South Park-inspired cover art with a Confederate flag and a couple KKKlan members and clearly, I had to listen to this first.
Nomad is fcking hilarious. He’s basically just talking mad shit and clowning real hard, rapping with a smug smile, a shock rapper sounding like if Cartman was way nerdier and could rap. Nomad raps about like hanging with crackers and getting head from a white chick while watching Malcolm X. Then his disses are just like deliciously juvenile bordering on absurd. Stuff like “Fuck you, your mom, and your daddy’s hairstyle” or “You would look 2% better if you used a smidgen of soap” is straight comedy. And he calls Orko a “black-ass Chia pet.” It’s another hilarious image in itself. But I guess I’m equally impressed to hear someone actually try to go after Orko, who has this kinda mythical, untouchable aura about him for some reason and I wouldn’t have thought anyone would ever beef with him.
The Where The White Women At? album comes from 2003 (unless you want to trust The Reader, which lists it at 1995). Nomad exists on both Myspace and Facebook if you’d like to say wassup. No idea if he’s still making music.
Reading be fun though:
