I went to one of the Col's Aunts funeral today. While the funeral was going on someones cell phone kept going off.

Just heard from my senior prom date after 24 years!

How is he?

Fabulous!

I have a boil on my bum and it is irritating me

Thanks for that! I didn't post when I had one on my groin a few months ago, did I? You're gross.

Hey guys.. Just checking in to see what's up. My laptop is completely dead so the only time I get to go online is on my breaks at work (which my breaks generally consist of smoking, hardly have time for anything else) or if I come home to visit the family (which is once every 1 or 2 months). Anyway, message boards, myspace, facebook, etc. are all blocked at work, but I can check my email.. so if anyone ever wants to get ahold of me email me at kahrispy@gmail.com

Good to see some of the old posters still around... Hope everythings going awesome for everybody. Well, I've got to run - food's here. Bye!

I thought YOU died!

This a new game?

I thought you died!

I'm going to kill every single person here in there sleep

Sorry... I need to shove bad grammar/spelling back up into you... so you might be a little sore tomorrow.

(THERE sleep?? WTF?? )

My album just got reviewed on Americas biggest Hip Hop review site. Thought I'd post it up here. Man, some of you yanks crack me up. Australia really is an enigma to most of you. Anyways:


Fluent Form may be from Melbourne, Australia, but he is clearly in a New York state of mind. His commitment to lyricism and the dark, cinematic beats he raps over pay homage to classic East Coast hip hop. He makes the type of hip hop that usually gets the prefix "real," as in true to its roots, and free of the glitz and artifice of mainstream rap. There are no autotuners, vocoders, or R&B singers on "Chapters of Substance;" just ten tracks of hard beats and hard rhymes.

Fluent Form gets production help from Doc Savage, Mizari, Geko, Ciecmate, Must, Trem, and Methodz. All the producers do sparse, brooding beats that are a little RZA, a little Primo, and sound way more Staten Island than Down Under. I have a hard time understanding how people from such a warm, sunny continent could make music so dark and cold. Whatever their motivation, they do it well, once again proving that Australian producers can hold their own on the boards.

There is a punk element to Fluent Form's half-shouted lyrics, and in the general mood of the disc. If he had been born a generation earlier, he probably would have picked up a guitar rather than a mic. He's not doing anything near Limp Bizkit territory, but he does bring some of the honest anger and frustration found in great punk to hip hop. Like most Aussie rappers, Fluent Form doesn't try to bite the subject matter of American rappers, and steers clear of tales of street crime. Instead, he offers a localized version of hip hop that sounds authentic and real.

American listeners might have an issue with Fluent Forms thick Aussie accent: it is impenetrable at times, which makes his lyrics difficult to understand. He's like fellow Aussie MC Clandestine in that regard, and both share a similar aggressive flow that is difficult to follow. One thing you definitely won't hear is any cursing; Fluent Form keeps it clean on all ten tracks without sacrificing any intensity. Without the standard curse words to fall back on, Fluent is forced to use language to get his point across, which makes him a stronger MC, and makes the album more interesting.

"Chapters of Substance" is a strong debut by an MC doing his best to keep hip hop real. Fans of classic East Coast rap should check this out, as well as fans of Aussie hip hop. Fluent Form is proof that Australians can rap, and that it isn't all sunshine and surf in the land Down Under.
