Caught half steppin' 'cuz she got a peg leg...
That's a pretty good line, eh? Well, here's where it came from. File under: You can't judge a rap album by it's cover...
Because by looking at this cover here (starring the super-creepy little person Beetlejuice from Howard Stern's show), you wouldn't guess that it's time for a WHITE RAPPER ALERT! But sure enough, Smut Peddlers were this guy and this guy. Also, you would probably not expect that the beats are NYC boom-bap or that the album really isn't nearly as dirty as all that. Only by looking a little deeper and finding that this was a Rawkus release would you realize that this might actually not be shit. And this song here is not at all what you would expect considering the name, either...
... and Kool Keith's on the record, too. Wouldn't expect that, would ya? Point being... like when picking up a Filipino hooker on Sunset, you gotta look under the hood to see what's really up sometimes...
