Rec | Y.N. RICHKIDS— “HOT CHEETOS AND TAKIS”

🧯

My last rec reminded me of this song. Truly one of our funniest songs, made by a group of kids between 10 and 13 years old over a decade ago, and it still goes hard. I wonder what became of these young artists. I'm hungry where them Cheetos at They stay biting like where them mosquito at I'm on point like an elbow Hands red like Elmo My mama said 'have you had enough?' I look and I said 'no ma'am' I go ham in the grocery store Orange Fanta and Takis Riding around with my allowance So nobody can stop me All the kids wanna be him Go crazy when they see him My mom hit the ATM 'Cause she know I need them

Xaviersobased - You See Me

If future generations wonder why hip-hop became what it became, they should look no further than Xaviersobased, the 21 year old native of the Upper West Side. Xavier dropped two albums in 2024 to much acclaim and fanfare — including a Best New Music at Pitchfork — and became a sui generis rapper of Gen Z. They’ll be talk about Nettspend being the future: Xavier, however, has been able to develop a signature style that is indebted to previous generations and still utterly modern and fresh. It’s not just the hyperpop, the jerk, the trap, crashing into the cloud rap with Xavier, it’s the vignette songwriting on “Pediatrician”, where he recalls a time where he was watching noggin in the waiting room while looking at his spongebop wallet. “I had bands on me back then, I have bands on me right now”, he says, singing with a boyish nasal. On “You See Me”, he floats, over a Rainbow Road-like beat, saying “I didn’t speed down that strip.” Somehow, it’s both laconic and intense, perfect for the kids of Gen Z, who are growing up with worse resources but more knowledge of self than ever before. The kid is laconic and understands stardom — I saw him do two songs at a warehouse in Soho and was shocked at how sober and focused he was. In 2025, Xavier will be leading the way.

camp lo, 'uptown saturday night'

I don't know why Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede don't get more love when the subject of "golden age hip hop" comes up. Dudes were from the heart of it all, the Boogie Down (in fact their producer Ski Beatz lived in the same building -- 1520 Sedgwick -- that Kool Herc had once lived in back in the day). They invented their own lingo -- luchini = loot, jiggy vines = 70s style threads they were pioneering around the same time Digable and the Beasties were dressing that way, sugar dimes = hotties, Amaeret-tah = their beverage of choice, Hollywood = high life, etc. They were obsessed with the 70s films Uptown Saturday Night and Cooley High, this pretty much formed the basis of their entire steez. The link here is to "Luchini" which is their anthem/best known track. I've got a lot of time for this album three decades down the line. Dig the Marvin Gaye album cover pastiche too.
