While their older material was oddly bouyant conscious hip-hop, Oddjobs’ latest (“Hypnotize”) turns down a dark alley toward straight-up griot poetry.

I don’t know what “griot poetry” is. Am I really, really out of it?
griot poetry is the west african oral tradition of passing on wisdom and history to future generations through poetry, often put to music. that said, it isn’t necessarily dark, nor does it have to take place in an alley. but “hypnotize” does sound like it was penned in a dark alley. i guess i just threw in “griot poetry” to see if people were paying attention.
nice site, btw.
