Curtiss King - Ren & Stimpy
Artist: Curtiss King
Producer: Curtiss King
Album: Snick @ Nite
Label: Black Cloud Music
Ah, Ren & Stimpy... the cartoon my parents never let me watch (also verboten: Batman, Full House, Step By Step...). Yeah, I was a little bit sheltered. Fortunately, Curtiss King‘s first Booth feature requires no prior knowledge of the classic animated series. This standout mixtape cut sees the Inland Empire native showcasing his skills on the mic and behind the boards, serving up a bouncy instrumental sampled from the show’s theme song (titled Dog Pound Hop and performed by animator Jim Smith, if anyone was wondering) as he and two fellow up-and-comers deliver bars laced with imaginative braggadocio. After the headliner’s energetic opening contribution, Moreno Valley native Pheo steps up to the mic, admitting that he hasn’t got “dough, a nice crib and a whip” but promising to leave listeners “so satisfied [they] could cheer for a year.” Ramone Jones switches up the flow with a wordplay-heavy closing verse: “I’m going balls-out like a physical / Kiss my ass like it’s under a mistletoe.” If you, too, spent your childhood vegging out in front of the television, more nostalgic thrills await on King’s Nickelodeon-themed Snick @ Nite mixtape, released in December ‘09 and available now online.

Richard, I am so so sorry to hear you grew up without the benefit of classic 90's TV. While I was never the biggest fan of Ren & Stimpy, I did thoroughly enjoy this weird and funky record. The production is on point and the rhyme contributions fit perfectly.

So-so...not really sure if I'm a fan of the Ren & Stimpy theme...maybe that's a biased opinion since that cartoon drove me crazy. Traumatization aside, I've certainly never heard anything like that - points for originality for sure.

"Stimpy you FOOOOLL!!" Who cannot get giddy over this dope production and classic sample. This is what Hip-Hop is suppose to be about - Awesome production over clever and witty verses delivered by Curtiss King, Pheo, and Ramone Jones.

I could understand where the production was trying to go with this, but it just sounds like my 3 year old cousin playing with a drum set.

This one walks that fine line between crazy creative and disorganized to me, and I'm honestly not sure which side of that line it's one. I'll have to average it out to a three star.
Oh, and I wasn't a huge Ren & Stimpy fan back in the day, though I definitely spent some hours watching it. I was more of a Darkwing Duck man. Anyone else? |

Enjoyable wordplay and beat. Rotation fa sho!
Not aware of this Ren & Stimpy show, Darkwing Duck? hell yeah, but my favorite cartoon would have to be Batman: The Animated Series. |

I love the beat and flow. The hook could use some work. But I love the creativity and nostalgia of this song.
