Who shot ya...William Gant...

ONYX!

Hungry and I were checking out the vast body of knowledge that is the infallible wikipedia, when Mr. Hungry, who was sitting next to me, came across a juicy nugget of information regarding the best show on television (I think you all know what that is). Look at the title to this post and the man on the far right of the picture. Who's that? None other than our man Marquis Hilton (b.k.a. "Bird"), who loves that shiny pistol of his so much that it got his thrown in the pokey for a long time because he shot a state's witness, the late William Gant (R.I.P). Props to our man Omar for stepping to the plate and witnessing against that muthafucker. Back the the real world (what can be more real than The Wire, right?). The actor who plays Bird in the show also lives another life in the entertainment world, and that is as Fredro Starr, a member of the hip-hop group, ONYX. Exploration ensues. I get their first album, Bacdafucup (say it phonetically). Mmm...mmm...good. Nothing quite strikes a chord in my body like mid-nineties hard-core rap. And nothing can quite beat the titles of their songs, which harken back to the title of the album, for example: "Bichasniguz", "Atak of Da Bal-Hedz", and my favorite "Black Vagina Finda". To make matters even more enticing, the album also contains one of my favorite tracks of 1993, "Slam", which reminds me of feeling like a badass at SFDS, I was tough as nails, delivering ass-kickings every lunchtime to (as yung Canard would say) GUMPS. My favorite tracks include "Bichasniguz", "Atak of Da Bal-Hedz", and "Slam", however I would recommend downloading the full album. So don your black hoodies, grab you teks, and brace yo self.
