Fu-Schnickens: “Ring The Alarm” (1991)

Back then it was common that hip-hop artists named their singles after the sample source. It only took adding two and two together where The Fu’s modeled their wax debut from and damn it was a crazy one. That was Tenor Saw’s “Ring The Alarm” (’85). The trio of Poc-Fu, Moc-Fu and Chip-Fu were ridiculously wacky and also lyrically technical; which is something near-extinct in hip-hop today. These days if you ever pulled that shit, today’s ‘hip-hop’ artists, their mama, dead homies, and the industry would all laugh at you for not signing your name on the dotted line for stove-top cooking, clout-chasing, or Twitter beef. 

This clean-condition single was one from a $40.00 stack of 12″ golden-era records I purchased from Riverhead’s Sunday Records.

The status I enjoyed in Storyville did not extend itself to the operators and patrons of the French Opera House on Bourbon and Toulouse. We did what we always did to avoid conflicts there. I performed as his valet, walked a pace behind him, took his overcoat once we found our seats, remained standing in the back of the box until the lights went down, and only joined next to him once the overture had begun.

I am extremely fond of last year's local prod of Cenerentola where they had her, during her final aria, pull off her big sparkly wedding dress and be back in her blue jeans and tank top at the end.

That was super rad I was like 🥰🥰🥰 and went to see it 10 times in a row.

Tenor Saw: “Ring The Alarm” French promo- disc (1998)

There’s no rhyme or reason as to why unknown or sub-labels from nowhere repress singles. The Vif! label from France threw a dart and hit Tenor Saw’s most popular single “Ring The Alarm” It’s the only disc pressing over everything else 7″ vinyl, but at least they were kind enough to include the “Stalag 17″ riddim to show where it came from.

sorry got busy w work and this blog died again but will be revived when i see aaron tveit sweeney todd (sweeron? aaroney?) in may exactly 2 years from the day i saw him in MR for the first time and all the haters can be mad about it. yeah he's King Tenor and he will steal any role he likes from baritones he is simply permitted by god to do that for any 12 week duration he chooses. he played traditionally baritone/baritenor enjolras with his high lyric light angelic tenor and defined a generation let him cook okay

sorry but im fucking reminding you that at the end of y6 (the grandpa game) kiryu calls the main antag "little baby iwami". what a fuckign power move. iwami no bocchan is so extremely funny to me and we should talk about it constantly. we should talk about it right now and forever afterwards also

kiryu saw the bad guy who(se partner in crime) hit him over the head with a pipe really really hard several times in a row like 2 minutes ago and realized he was allowed to hit him now and chose to spit out some blood crack his knuckles (emotionally) and GRANDKID ZONE HIM. CRITICAL DAMAGE. DEVASTATING MOVE.

PEEPAW BLOODLUST UNLIMITED!!!!!!!!!!!
