Blunts, Bitches and Hoes

You know there's probably fewer stranger things in the world than Welsh rappers.
This conclusion is easy to reach when you listen to anything by Goldie Lookin' Chain, probably the greatest (and only) gangsta rap group to come from the valleys and mountains of Wales.
Of course, nothing says gansta rap like sheep and male voice choirs (both of which get a mention in their songs). I guess they mention blunts, guns, bitches, bling and hos and all that too but, y'know... sheep.
This is the direction rap NEEDS to go in to survive. Forget Eminem. Forget... um... Notorious BIG? Forget... those other rap guys. I can never remember them all.
Welsh rap, it's the way to go.
On my playlist at the moment, recent smash hit Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do; Soap Bar; Sexy Ladies; Barry White.. um... tribute You Knows I Love You; 21 Ounces; Roller Disco; Taxi; and probably the greatest song to be a hit so far this year - Your Mother's Got A Penis.
By the way, a special bonus cookie for anyone who can name where the riff used in Your Mother's Got a Penis is sampled from. It's bugging me.
Oh, and their spectacular website can be found at http://www.youknowsit.co.uk/
