LSD – "Watch Out For The Third Rail" (The Dope Beat Edition)

(Melting Pot Music)

„Das größte Sample-Ratequiz der deutschen Musikgeschichte“ (Zitat: Scope) geht in die nächste Runde. 17 Jahre hat „Watch Out For The Third Rail“ von LSD nun auf dem Buckel und noch immer ist die Faszination dieses Hip-Hop Meilensteins ungebrochen.

Woran das liegt ist einfach zu erklären. Den vier LSD Mitgliedern Rick Ski, Future Rock, Defcon und Ko Lute ist es anno 1991 gelungen in mühevoller Kleinarbeit über zwei Jahre hinweg ein Album zu erschaffen, dessen musikalische Komplexität bis heute in keiner Weise eingeholt werden konnte.

„Der Plan war, noch mehr Samples zu benutzen als die Public Enemy-Platten und noch mehr Krach zu machen“, erinnert sich Future Rock. Diese Ziel wurde zweifellos erreicht. Der genaue Sampleumfang des Albums kann bis zum heutigen Tage leider nur grob geschätzt werden. Selbst LSD kennen die genauen Zahlen nicht, da man schon während der Produktionszeit die Samplequellen untereinander wie kleine Schätze geheim gehalten hatte. Einige Kenner sprechen allerdings von über 1000 Samples, die „Watch Out For The Third Rail“ beherbergen soll. DJ Shadows „Entroducing“ könnte damit also getrost die Koffer packen und sich von der Guinness-Buch Liste als Album mit den meisten Samples verabschieden. Doch das ist alles nur Nebensache.

Viel wichtiger ist, dass nach über 17 Jahren endlich eine Deluxe Re-Issue (2xCD/2xLP) des wegweisenden Klassikers von 1991 in den Regalen steht, die inklusive Instrumental Versionen, historischen Fotos und Linernotes dem Stellenwert dieses Alltime Classics gerecht wird. Allen Hip-Hop Generationen sei daher geraten, LSDs „Watch Out For The Third Rail“ den Respekt zu erweisen, den es verdient hat. Denn, um es mit den Worten von DJ Stylewarz zu sagen, „Wer LSD nicht kennt soll’s Maul halten!“

20. Grease

Man I had such a crush on Olivia Newton John. I still do. I've seen this movie a hundred times. I still dig it, and love the songs.

19. The Great Outdoors

This was my favorite film when I was 9. I think it still holds up. It's just great. Classic John Candy and Dan Ackroyd at their peak. Like most of my favorites, this is something I can still watch today.

18. Die Hard

You can't have a list without Die Hard. Because... it's fucking Die Hard!

17. Armageddon

Yeah, yeah. It's a Michael Bay film. The plot makes no sense. But it's balls to the wall action, with an awesome cast, and possibly the greatest bit of unintentional humor of all time.

16. Jersey Girl

People give Kevin Smith so much shit over this movie, because of Gigli and the whole Bennifer nonsense. The fact is this is his best film. It's beautiful in more ways than I describe. Not to mention the fact that Affleck proves once again that yes, he can act. Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

15. Stripes

Fuck this is a great flick. This is one of those movies as a kid that made me want to be a comedian. Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Judge Reinhold, and John Candy! Sometimes when the going gets rough I remind myself that like Ox I too am a MEAN. LEAN FIGHTING MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I want to have sex in a trunk. And an RV. And Communist Russia.

14. My Best Friend's Wedding

This isn't just a hilarious movie sporting Julia Roberts on one of the few times that she actually is a knockout (not to mention Cameron Diaz). It also happens to be the first realistic romantic comedy I've ever seen.

13. Beverly Hills Cop 2

Eddie Murphy was never funnier than in this movie. Which is kind of sad. It was pretty much all downhill after this film. Still, it holds up all these years later.

12. Good Morning Vietnam

Robin Williams was my idol growing up. Seeing him now as his own worst impersonator depresses the shit out of me. But whenever I want to go back and see the real Williams, I pop this in. It reminds me that, yes, Robin Williams is the shit.

11. Cars

I had to put a Disney film on this list simply because I am a Disney nut. I'll grant you that technically this is a Pixar film, but even so. It was this or The Incredibles. This won out simply because this is the last one I watched, and I watched it just about eight times. It seems ridiculous off the bat (not to mention completely illogical) but there's something incredibly charming and funny about this film about anamorphic automobiles. It also brings me back to my time in Arizona. I can't wait for Cars 2.

10. Pirates of the Carribean

He's Captain jack Sparrow, love. How can you NOT dig this movie? The perfect blend of action, comedy, and horror... and it's a Disney movie... based on a frickin ride!

9. Walk the Line

I saw this because I'm a Cash fan and I didn't know much about his history. And it was beautiful. Joachin Phoenix and Reese Withspoon did an amazing job.

8. Serenity

Firefly is one of my all-time favorite shows. Though the movie spinoff is much darker... hell, it's still chock full of Whedon-y goodness. And I have a man crush on Nathan Fillion. So there's that. This movie makes me proud to be a Browncoat.

7. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Indiana Jones is one of the last true Icons of my generation. I chose Crusade because it has Sean Connery in it, therefore making it twice as awesome. I also love John Rhys Davies' last line.

6. X2

The second X-Men film is arguably the best live action comic based movie that's been made so far. There wasn't a whole lot of Cyclops, but aside from that complaint, this movie delivered better than advertised. It's pretty much a two hour geek-gasm.

5. Ocean's 11 (2001)

I can watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it. It's just fantastic. It made me like Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. Soderbergh's best work. Brilliant story. Great Actors. Awesome Cinematography. Like Benedict, I never saw it coming.

4. Transformers (1986)

Fuck Keanu Reeves. I'm down with the original Matrix, bitches! R.I.P. Optimus Prime.

3. Batman Mask of the Phantasm

Ask any real fan what the best Bat-film was and you're likely to get one response: Phantasm. No live action movie will ever come close to doing what this animated film was does. It puts the one true vision of Batman on the screen.

2. Garden State

This is the movie I would make if he hadn't done it first. It's about life, and pain, and acceptance. It's just beautiful. And incredibly funny.

1. Return of the Jedi

It's damn near impossible to choose just one of the Star Wars films, but I've always been partial to Jedi. Not sure why. Maybe it's the yub yub song. Or Vader vs Luke. Nah, I know what it is! Three words:
LEIA'S. METAL. BIKINI.

It's been quite a year -- though, I've never looked back at the end of any year and said, "This year was kinda boring. Nothing happened. It was not quite a year." No, I believe I've always supported the hackneyed phrase, "It's been quite a year," and I will continue to support it. After all, without hackneyed phrases, where would we be?

I want to write a song, just so Bill Shatner can interpret it.

I thought I had life all figured out, until I saw this:

Nicht? Na dann wirds höchste Zeit das zu ändern! Hier das Video zu "Crooklyn", übrigens produziert von A Tribe Called Quest und das Video zu "The Return of the Crooklyn Dogers", produziert von DJ Premier

"Die Zeit ist reif für den neuen Scheiß,
geht rum wie Joints in meinem Freundeskreis,
Creutzfeld Jakob endlich wieder Skills und Styles.
Zwei eiserne Mics und Nadeln aus Diamant auf schwarzem Plastik,
einzigartig, bombastisch, battle mich ich mach dich frisch.
Notier das hier, rotiert ein Meisterstück des deutschen Raps,
ich weiss, dass du von anderen Crews enttäuscht bist,
das ist neu und fresh. Die Nachbarjungen bezeugen es,
hier boomts - das gibt ein Freudenfest,
denn Hip Hop ist in Deutschland meistens Mittelmaß und Häufig wack.
Ich bin erstaunt das euer Sound so schwach ist auf der Brust,
man welcher Trottel kauft den Mist, den du als deutschen Rap ausgibst?
Verdammt ich scheiß auf deine Songs,
jetzt kannst du lernen, ergreif die Chance,
aber ey Jungen keine Angst, die erste Lektion ist umsonst.
Nummer 1: Beats werden weich, Labels stinkreich, alles klingt gleich,
ich scheiß auf eure klinisch toten Tracks,
mein Album stinkt nach Schweiß.
Denn das ist meins und kommt von mir persönlich,
überträgt sich für gewöhnlich mikroskopisch klein in deinen Schädel rein.
Die Infektion ist schon passiert, von mir am Mic hypnotisiert,
auf Creutzfeld Jakob programmierte Kids der Generation X.
Schlag für Schlag am Solar plexus,
du weisst Wiederstand is zwecklos.

Massive wink, meanin' you messin' with the best!

Ich seh nix Neues außer Toys da läuft was schief im Buiss,
es geht darum wie deep du bist, weil Rappen keine Peep-Show ist.
Ich schick euch Clowns zurück ins Zirkuszelt und lach euch später aus,
zuerst ripp ich das Mic und schick euch Greetings übern Äther raus."

Der Einfluss der Gruppe auf die Hip-Hop Musik der 90er Jahre hätte nicht größer sein können. Beatlegende DJ Premier wurde unter anderem von Large Pro und K-Cut an der SP1200 ausgebildet. Bei ihrem Song "Live At The Barbecue" nahmen Main Source außerdem die Talente Akinyele und Nas unter ihre Fittiche und halfen beiden Künstlern bei den ersten Schritten ihrer Musikkarrieren.
