Mac Lethal on Daytrotter

You know from reading this week’s Wayward Son that Mac Lethal is a grown-ass man with an impressively growing label.

But one thing that slipped past my watchful eye, and probably yours as well, was that Mac dropped by the Daytrotter studios in Rock Island, Illinois, for a live-in-studio sesh nearly a month ago.

Click this link or on the illo to go hear Mac “addressing the goats, the beer and jollying in rampant idiocy” and performing four songs: “Calm Down, Baby,” “Rotten Apple Pie,” “Pound that Beer” and “Die Slow.”

Sean Moller, Daytrotter’s in-house John Dryden, had this to say about Lethal:

He takes his irascibility seriously and finds no fault in his agitations, finds no wrongdoing or malice in taking so many different stands against so many different provocations and people. It easily makes for the most entertaining and yes, intellectual hip-hop experience that’s out there in the crumbling world right now.

Oh, the crumbling world. Speaking of that, when I interviewed Mac, I asked him what his ten-year plan was. First he said he wanted to pay off the house and keep the music going (but in more words). But then he painted this sunny scenario:

“I’m not sure there’s gonna be electricity in 10 years. We might all be making weapons out of elephant tusks, fighting over nonperishable items that we find in large factories and shit. There’s a chance in this just going nuts. I’m a full believer in the commercial real estate bubble exploding and hurting worse than residential real estate, and this turning into a — what is it? — an underdeveloped country?”

When and if that shit goes down, I want to be on Mac’s side.
