Glaze

The 9 Day Apocalypse

Leviticus, the 1 or 9 day apocalypse. Depends on where you look on the cd.

The host of the only dutch HipHop TV show dropped his solo joint. With a doubtfull reputation, numerously accused for fakeness. For example talking 'American' on his TV show while he can speak Dutch and the program is broadcasted for an Dutch speaking audiance. Perhaps that's also the reason why all the other TMF programs are broadcasted in Dutch. O.K., you can ask yourself: what is fake? You can make it up yourself.
For all his critics he already proved to be on everybodies dick in his show. His first cd with Flip The Script is called: 'Product Of The Piemel'. (Product Of The Dick) Also a dick. Proofs childish kind of humor.

So what is he coming with in '98? The intro is a rip off of Ice-T's Home Invasion song It's On. Glaze is warning everybody to be scared. The only question is for what? How tougher Glaze is acting how more and harder people are laughing. The first song suprises with a french rapper rapping in the french language. Why is a rapper using a guest rapper in his first song? 'DearÉ (you ever cry)' is a good and a very serious song. 'You Don't Have The Worry', 'Put Ya Hands Up High' are very radio friendly songs. 'Just Sleep' (rien que dormir) is not so radio friendly and has a french part in it. The lyric: "There ain't enough niggers in here for me to fear" pops up the question: what's the gun for that is illustrating the booklet? Cops don't shoot in The Netherlands, unless your doing something really stupid. Oh, I got it. In some place Glaze got a beatdown for teaching the kids the wrong things. And Glaze, one lesson: if you are having a gun and braggin' about it, than use it. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

The single from the album is: 'Be All You Can Be' (but you can't be me). Lucky us, is there anybody out there that wants to be like Glaze? 'The Most Hated' is not an interesting piece. Mistaking hated with not welcome. 'I Remember' a love song. Etc, etcÉ The whole cd has an American radio friendly sound. A lot of songs are recorded in Hollywood. Lyrics projecting an American imageÉ so one question remains: what is Glaze doing on a Dutch record label in Hilversum, The Netherlands? One more thing: "When I die I wan't (ed.?) you to bury me face down so the whole world can kiss my ass!" Is it not that you are already with your face in the mud and everybody is walking over your ass?
Yo, at last Glaze has left the national HipHop television show The Pitch! And we want to warn the world: watch out the biggest joke of the netherlands is coming your way. Have a good laugh!
