2 Skinnee J's

Few bands have been as screwed as the J's: let's just say the Gods Of Shitty Record Deals decided to make an example of them and smited them greatly with volcanos and laughing goats. Perfectly positioned to cash in on the late 90's rap metal craze, they were probably a little too smart for the average mook and just different enough not to interest radio programmers.

The first selection below is a lo-fi (re: audience recording) live version of "Evel Knievel," their tribute to the 70's daredevil who is single handedly responsible for skyrocketing medical health insurance costs. It's a great amped up version of the tune and the only version I've ever heard with vocalist J. Guevera. The second track, "Girl With The World In Her Eyes," is a good example of what I was saying above: instead of acting all hard and claiming they've been listening to Mos Def since they were born, they bite some Smiths lyric. Word.
