Those were The Hot Days. August and September with Pudge at my Palms apartment/sauna - hardwood floors, wooden roof. I threw away a lot of white tees with industrial yellow armpit stains. But we stayed recording. A homey or three would casually swim through to drop verse before running down the stairs sweating and screaming, shirts in hand. But mostly it was just us working on tracks, or the eternal business of staying afloat in L.A.. What day does the landlord really cash the rent check (the 10th)? What are the chances of the couch having magically sprouted some more change between the cushions in the last two days? Are those dudes outside with the bad tattoos still sitting on my car? 


A couple times a day we'd hop off the merry-go-round for pasta, blunts and TV. Lethal Weapon ended up in the DVD player for almost a month, and we started noticing similarities between Mel and Danny's characters and us. He's the black guy, I'm the white guy. He's more laid-back, I'm more aggro. And Pudge and I had inadvertently become partners in the task of getting by in Los Ankkhheles. So we ran with it. We don't give a shit about cops (although I don't mind em at times). But the metaphor works. Every now and then we gotta swing through and lay the law down.
