Song Review
Today’s post comes from the electronic/hip-hop (sometimes referred to as electrohop or ghettotech) act Thunderheist; my God I wish I was the one to coin the term ghettotech. Do the Right Thing can be found on the Toronto/Montreal duo’s self-titled debut album, released on March 31st of this year. The unlikely tandem of MC Isis and Grahm Zilla are also behind 4 other EPs since 2007. Thunderheist just completed the west-coast swing of a North American tour this past Saturday in Victoria. Their next show is scheduled for the Mod Club in Toronto on December 4th. For more from the band’s debut LP, check out the post below.
Take ‘em to the graveyard
Kill ‘em if they start something
I don’t mean to play hard
Tired of all these killers fronting
See you on your cellphone
Acting like you know or something
Gangsters don’t talk
We move, throw it down
Bit to the shot and we ripped away
Took a bit to the head
TH parties we the best
Got all the pretty people with their gritty dusty noses
Locked up in the eye picture perfect pretty poses
Valley girl type, type jeans which she means
She the ? she sniff the whole table clean
She sniff the whole table clean
She sniff the whole table clean
Spike Lee said do the right thing
They want it, I got it
Spike Lee said do the right thing
They need it and I got it got it
Gimme yo hand
Roll this purple haze
Got this African shit
Get you high for days
Know this man
Just call me your assistant
I’ll get you the package if you pay for the shit man
Fuck your equipment
I’m all you need
If it wasn’t for the fee I’d do this shit for free
And I don’t do partners
Just transactions
Fractions, adding, now get the trucks and pad it
You want them white girls
Let me here supply
I’m that honey ? puzzle
Why it always gets you higher
Higher, higher, higher
Spike Lee said do the right thing
They want it, I got it
Spike Lee said do the right thing
They need it and I got it got it
