My Dearest Friends and Fans,

It is my greatest honor to present to you The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!,
my new album produced by Trent Reznor and mixed by Alan Moulder. The wall of sound that we've created is tagged with such graffiti that a passerby would seek out doors and ways to ENTER. Once inside a world defined by dreams come true they'd find aligned with the simplest act of sharing what we treasure. Most people aren't aware of the world of art and commerce where exploitation strips each artist down to nigger. Each label, like apartheid, multiplies us by our divide and whips us 'til we conform to lesser figures. What falls between the cracks is a pile of records stacked to the heights of talents hidden from the sun. Yet the energy they put into popularizing smut makes a star of a shiny polished gun. The ballot or the bullet for Mohawk or the mullet is a choice between new times and dying days. And the only way to choose is to jump ship from old truths and trust dolphins as we swim through changing ways. The ways of middlemen proves to be just a passing trend. We need no priests to talk to God. No phone to call her. And when you click the link below, i think it fair that you should know that your purchase will make middlemen much poorer...

NiggyTardust!

love,

Saul

I realize not everyone here listens to rap, but I really like his self-titled, especially on the track with Zach Delarocha. I'm looking forward to a download.

rather listen to the geto boys, at least they don't preach.

Derek · 07.28.2010, 06:32 PM

His track 'Grippo' samples Chrome's Zombie Warfare. What the fuck.

atsonicpark · 07.28.2010, 10:24 PM

cuz trent reznor is friends with him and produces some of his shit, Derek.

SYRFox · 07.29.2010, 05:37 AM

Yeah. This particular record was entirely produced by Trent Reznor, actually, I think. I LOVE the first track on that album, Black History Month.
EDIT: well the first message says the record is produced by Trent Reznor. I should read before posting.

why is he perpetuating the N word?

Derek · 08.01.2010, 07:45 PM

'Grippo' is from the album before this though and I read that he produced it himself. Weird.
