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...

Smut Peddlers - Diseases (ysi)






... 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...
