The Definition Of Whack: Everlast Edition

My friend Jarret asked me the other day to add a new feature to this blog where I talk about albums no one remembers that have inexplicably held up well (specifically David & David's Welcome to the Boomtown, which I just listened to and, surprisingly, it has held up well). I just may do that. But I think it might be wiser to also look at truly god fucking awful music by artists that somehow redeemed themselves later. So, for the first installment, here's Everlast back when he was the male model of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate and opted to sample My Sharona in his bid for rap immortality:

And for the sake of comparison, here's his new song:

In all fairness to Everlast, I don't think I'd want there to be video evidence of what a fucktard I was in 1990 (though, somewhere, I suspect there is...I wore a lot of Greek lettered clothing...I dated a lot of  women with extensive scrunchy collections), nor would I want anyone reading anything I wrote in 1990. Or 1995.

The time has come for everyboby to clean up their own backyard.

That song is phat! Everlast is a talented dude what with his House of Pain shit and the rock sound he has going now. I only listen to guys from the 1980s so when one of them comes out with some new shit, well you know...Dont forget about Dre.

BTW. You got no pussy in 1990. I'm not sayng got any pussy either, but I dont remeber a whole lot of scrunchies in your world.

I have a co-worker with an extensive scrunchy collection to match her 1982 wave bangs.
