that's the mentality of kidz today

Initially, Plan B recorded "Missing Links" with Radiohead’s "Pyramid Song" looping in the background; however, due to copyright issues, the song had to be re-recorded for Who Needs Actions When You Got Words. Early this year, Plan B decided to release a limited bootleg album entitled Paint It Blacker, The Bootleg Album which features the original version of "Missing Links" plus fifteen other new and resampled tracks. Paint It Blacker is definitely the most interesting album of 2007!! The bootleg consists of samples from rock and alternative songs ranging from The Rolling Stones’ "Paint It Black", Nirvana’s live cover of "Plateau", Larrikin Love’s "Happy As Annie" to Leonard Cohen’ "Suzanne"!!!! Holy crap, Plan B sampled Leonard Cohen, how fucking amazing is that!?!?!? And it is another one of those deliciously violent songs similar to those I praised about so much on B’s Who Needs Actions When You Got Words. This bootleg enhances the fact that Plan B is one of the most talented and creative new artists in the world, and if you have not done so already, do yourself a favour and buy Who Needs Action When You Got Words.

plan b raps about cutting people with knives and stabbing people in their eyes

The other day, I received an email from 679 Records promoting this artist named Plan B. I usually pay no attention to emails like this; however, for some strange reasons, I opened up the email and actually checked out the links to a few videos. I was blown away by Plan B’s rhymes and flows... I was especially impressed with his lyrical contents. Some of what Plan B raps about are very real, while some are so deliciously violent! "Sick 2 Def" and "No Good" can easily be compared to some of the most violent Eminem lyrics. Plan B is also kind of unique in that he uses an acoustic guitar to create his backing beats; a definite refreshing touch from all the genetic hip-hop beats out there. In fact, tracks like "Everyday" and "Tough Love" even featured piano and strings. Who Needs Action When You Got takes the best from Mike Skinner and Eminem, making it an amazing record!
