Their beats are always catchy as hell.

Kris, Wednesday, 29 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

so i'm posting so this shit will be on new answers. uh, yeah, the beatnuts, fuck. i bet i've listened to at least one of their songs every day for the past year. and they let greg nice guest on their albums! hell, not just their albums, on their fucking SINGLES. that's so classic it hurts.

ethan, Wednesday, 29 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, hi kris!

ethan, Wednesday, 29 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hi Ethan. Isn't Greg Nice Nice from Nice & Smooth? Isn't he a legendarily inept rapper? Not that I listen to the Beatnuts for the raps. Didn't they use the theme from Bewitched in a song, or something like that?

Kris, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Isn't the theme from Bewitched a re-recording of 'How Soon is Now' by the Smiths?

Robin, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The theme from B*Witched.

Greg, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

are the beatnuts the ones who did 'watch out now'?

thats the best hiphop tune ive heard for the last 2 or so years (when did it come out? about then i think......)

ambrose, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

more hooks than a pirate convention on everything they've ever done. nice latino angle to a lot of it too.

I feel the same way about "watch out now" (maybe 3 yrs back at the most?), what a catchy single.

fritz, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was so happy for the Nuts when Watch Out Now blew up. They have been working so hard (well maybe not *that* hard) for so long -- Fat fat fat, them and Gravediggaz used to be the only things I listened to.

five years pass...

ayo its ill when im heated how my heart stay cold
write a rhyme that make the gats around the world explode
now behold the burning malice of a treacherous soul
first time i shot a gun duke i was twelve years old
but since then, never put it down my friend
she go to war when i tell her, fuck a who, why, when, til the end
indeed, its good to have and not need
even better when you can, shoot back and not bleed
take heed, poppin like an el full of seed
my team is gettin bigger, got more mouths to feed
shorty let me tell you bout my only vice
it got to do with lots of money and it aint nuttin nice
it aint nuttin nice

I just ripped out the dirt from my coffin
Flippin through loops like a lunatic dolphin

kingkongvsgodzilla, Sunday, 19 August 2007 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

two months pass...

Here's to my pollyin niggaz who campaign
To the killers who be lovin the chicas and champagne
Thugs who get wild in the club and snatch chains
Players who be pimpin the hoes with no brains
Front watch a nigga get shot from close range
The most range, crazy motherfucker won't change
Beatnuts, forever diehard, you want pain?
Cause you walkin outta here breathin is insane
Flip a beat fast, you leave the club with a heat rash
You got a weak stash, came in the club with a free pass
I ain't even know they made a Roley for your cheap ass
Makin me laugh, you was in jail wearin kneepads
Now the beef has, gotten over your head
It's over you dead, Ranger Rover, both of your legs
til both of us said, platinum gettin took this year
Cause for real, there ain't nothin but crooks in here, nigga

carne asada, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 15:12 (eighteen years ago)

This is where I act like the Masta Ace stan I basically am and pimp "Oh My God" as a top-tier Beatnuts track.

"You're going nowhere fast like a treadmill/Don't make me have to roll up to your crib and meet your parents like Ben Still/You'll get killed/For tryna be a funny ass like Ben Hill"

deej, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

Love off the books

Your career's on life support, and I'ma pull the plug
and have every thug shootin that Beatnut drug
in they blood, no escapin this
Niggaz is goin over their favorite shit (for what?) to be tapin this
World premier, loud and clear
Lye and beer, get the dough, blow up the show
Dissapear, jump in the Cavalier
Feelin marvelous, street pharmacist, twist arboles
For pleasure, bring your territory sever
Keep my workers under pressure got em sayin "FUCK LESTER"
But that's aight Duke-o, my heart nowadays too cold
Don't give a fuck where you been what you done
where you go, you know, peep this favorite
In black shades like a secret, agent
We're night thieves, roll up on you sleeves
We light trees, bust these and stack cheese

the beatnuts work on 'constipated monkey' is some great shit, that was just reissued

deej, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

my favorite artists right now = sade and the beatnuts

deej, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

milk me was their first weak album... that joint with freeway is a classic & some of the tracks work towards that 808/keyboard sound les is experimenting with now on his solo shit but mostly its generic as fuck & hot was their worst single

and what, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

i think i remember 'madness' was pretty dope thats about it

and what, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

big city, thats whats up... les, ju, al tariq and problemz on some ignorant punchline shit over half classic nuts accordian beats & half fake south production shit with screwed up hooks and synths and all that

and what, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

originators, that got slept on - cormega on u crazy ftw

i need a copy of steet level. i don't have one. i don't think. though i do have a lot of tapes in boxes that i forget about. but i don't think i have it.

scott seward, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

street level is total classic

I don't know if they were the first to use it but that serge gainsbourg loop on "super bad" was o_0!!! when I first heard it

dmr, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

yeah 'street level' is unstoppable, amazing party record

deej, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

musical massacre is pretty good too. I didn't like take it or squeeze it tho ... sold it back

dmr, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

"It's Da Nuts" was ok I guess but I can't even remember what else was on it

Beatnuts is for the peoples, like Democrats/Y'all cats are see through, with those demo tracks

Dom Passantino, Friday, 14 March 2008 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

You wan' hate me? Cause your wifey, wants a autograph?
From the look in her eyes, I can see she wants more than that
When I see fat asses I make fat passes like quarterback
Beatnuts is ALLA THAT, your shit, BORDER-WACK

deej, Friday, 14 March 2008 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

Then I bag this chick, with a, "Hi," and the eye
She did the butterfly, rubbin her ass, against my buttonfly
I could ALREADY imagine my shit stuck inside
Everytime I strike, haters be like, "Dat fucking guy!"

deej, Friday, 14 March 2008 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

every lyrics page says "your shit ALLA WACK" but my memory says "border-wack" which sounds better anyway

why n

deej, Friday, 20 June 2008 21:54 (seventeen years ago)

it's kind of a lame logo imo-- i guess a few people would get it but to others it would look like a weird 6? maybe im wrong though

where would you get it?

J0rdan S., Friday, 20 June 2008 21:56 (seventeen years ago)

Wear a kangol all the time and get the PE crosshairs tattooed in the air around your head instead.

Oilyrags, Friday, 20 June 2008 21:57 (seventeen years ago)

bicep
as far as i know its a flip of this:
http://us.ent1.yimg.com/images.launch.yahoo.com/000/033/618/33618615.jpg
so if old relatives start asking questions i can play it off like im a huge hank mobley fan

deej, Friday, 20 June 2008 21:58 (seventeen years ago)

maybe upper forearm

deej, Friday, 20 June 2008 21:58 (seventeen years ago)

You should be a huge Mobley fan anyway.

Oilyrags, Friday, 20 June 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

im a big mobley fan, but not big enough to tattoo an album cover to my arm

deej, Friday, 20 June 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not seeing a downside, then. (I think it's a pretty great logo)

Oilyrags, Friday, 20 June 2008 22:03 (seventeen years ago)

maybe upper forearm

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bicep

what's the point of getting a bicep tat anyway? i mean if you want ppl to see get it in a place where it isn't going to be covered up 90% of the time (or even worse like half-obscured by a shirt). this kid i know has the =W= weezer logo on his forearm by his elbow and it looks pretty rad imo as long as it's not so hueg

J0rdan S., Friday, 20 June 2008 22:05 (seventeen years ago)

i actually think it would work on yr upper forearm if it was like the size of a silver dollar or something

J0rdan S., Friday, 20 June 2008 22:07 (seventeen years ago)

six months pass...

“The Groove” is his most impressive work yet, with the 25-year old Atlanta/Charleston resident excavating an obscure sample of Janko Nilovic’s “Tapatapa” from a weird 1970s French Music library and turning it into the best Friday night anthem this side of the Hold Steady. Danny plays the hammy party starter–bragging about his guitar hero skills, thanking himself for solos, cranking that “Danny Boy,” (which, presumably is something done only in South Boston, in the cloak of night). If you can’t feel the groove here, you probably don’t have a pulse. –Jeff Weiss

i downloaded based on this cosign and curiosity about probly the most famous rapper from my homestate (snoop-smh.gif) and guess what its just a techno soundin version of "contact" off take it or squeeze it not even a flip of the o.g. "french library music" joint (i guess this revelation is in the press kit?? it even has the same intro as the beatnuts joint &snippets of their lines) ignorant ass rap bloggers and bitin ass producers get the diddick

silkk the s1ocki (and what), Monday, 22 December 2008 19:26 (seventeen years ago)

Weiss is currently linking to an amusing hatchet job on Estelle by someone of this parish, but sadly not to his description of Kid Cudi’s "Night and Day" as "represents the slow metamorphosis of rap music from the greatest achievement of Western Society to some dayglo bullshit for fashion magazine interns". It made the Weiss end of year list.

Heidi Ho on Common's debut album was an early Beatnuts' beat

http://www.spiralfrog.com/sfimages/covers/pop/cov200/drc500/c520/c52084m0c37.jpg

Trivial, but Chi-Ali's 1992 album was early Beatnuts...well, all except the hit. Fashion also cameo's on this track:

Old shit...

Anyway, oOne of my lasting faves was this beat:

Mad Skillz - The Nod Factor

8=Drien Brody (PappaWheelie V), Friday, 16 January 2009 05:28 (seventeen years ago)
