K-THE-I???Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
(Mush)
*** 1/2 (out of 5)
“Sometimes I can get a little vicious when it comes to the beat break,” says K-The-I??? on Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow’s opening track “400 to the BPM,” but there’s nothing sheepish about his admission — it’s more a warning than an apology. YT&T hurtles by at breakneck speed, and a lot of the beats even sound like you’re hearing them played on a CD with someone’s finger on the fast-forward button. K spits out his lyrics too fast for any human brain to make sense of them, but that’s okay — he’s more interested in the sound of words than the sense of them. (Sample line: “You play laser tag with sudden envelopes and candid cameras cantaloupe / Frontal lobe microbes until it’s dissolved.”) He may look like Barry White, but K isn’t interested in seducing women into bed — he’s the guy who’s wide awake at 3 a.m., too full of caffeine to even get to sleep.
Still, it’s “Sabbath Faster” guest vocalist Busdriver who delivers the album’s best line: “They will beautify their pork plumbing with their boob jobs / Turning the cheap whores and Igors to Jude Laws.” If there's a more disgusting slang term for plastic surgeons than "pork plumbers," I don't want to hear it.
