If you are familiar with the output of the aforementioned gentlemen, you'll know that even the seemingly lighthearted, ridiculous, jokey shit has a lot of thought and effort behind it. If memory serves me correctly, Matty spent hours teaching himself how to sample beats and songs just for this project. No matter how scatalogical or sexual the lyrics got, Aesop made most of the songs on here insanely memorable by having an ear for a good hook. Starting off with the unforgettable "Dr Dre Del Is The Master", the duo sets the bar rather high in 56 short seconds with an unmistakable metal riff and flawless MC skills. From there on out, the tape is filled (i mean filled...48 songs) with fantastical imagery ("Fuck ALF"), still-relevant social commentary ("Make Room For Whitey"), typical shit-talking ("Fuck You Cecil" trilogy), a fucking RUDIMENTARY PENI sample ("Weird Ass Sisters"), fairly legit hip-hop ("Mic Of Defiance"), straight up awesome weirdness ("Smokin' Crack and Killin' Pigs") and so much more. If that doesn't work for you, DR DRE DEL also raps about his dick...a lot.
Picture of an ultra rare live performance.
48 songs. None are over 2 minutes.
Matty Luv passed away in 2002 and his musical accomplishments are too numerous to name. You can find more info about him here. Aesop is still killing it on the drums in the bands AGALLOCH, WORM OUROBOROS and VHOL.

LOVE Dr. Dre Del. and for some reason i always thought it was Matty doing the rapping and Aesop doing the DJing. glad to have been set straight.
i heard this ages ago from a friend who had connections somehow, and only a couple years ago found mp3's of it somewhere.
"you can call me 'colonel' 'cos i come in buckets" = the best rap line ever?
I've been meaning to post this for (literally) years, but the editing was always too daunting (and I'm lazy). Didn't like this band being born at the time when I lived in the house, but this is a work a nothing short of genius.
Hey--
Came across this tonight via Matty's bike messenger memorial page [I rode in SF briefly, but mostly in Boston]. I met Aesop in '99 once when a friend introduced me to him while he was working the door at a strip club in North Beach. What happened to the concept From the Dreidel to the Grave rip on the Subhumans? I have been looking for these recordings off and on for years, and the link in the page is now broken, and there's only a YouTube recording with like 888 views and it was posted in 2013. available. I did get Hickey's stuff, though. Can't wait to check it out Thanks so much.
Appreciate you putting this music out there--
Erik
