General Elektriks: Crush (MP3)

General Elektriks is the brainchild of french keyboard wonder Herve Salters, who is gearing up to release his second album on Quannum, Good City for Dreamers. To promote the album, he's releasing one free song each month on his website, each featuring a different emcee over a sample-based beat. This, the third release in the Pocket Full of MCs series, features Pigeon John and Prince's "When Doves Cry." (The first paired Mr. Lif with an obscure Serge Gainsbourg sample and the second married rapper Beans with Duran Duran's "The Chauffer.") Here, a slowed-down loop of Prince's synths is mixed with Pigeon John's rhymes about having "no game at all." It's a refreshing take on the boy-meets-girl rap song.

Love it! Best of prince and PJ married. Who knew that was even legal?

i love pigeon john, he's one of my all time favorites, but i feel like the guy needs to accept that he's growing up. i think he's afraid to rap about whats really in his heart today because he thinks everybody still wants to listen to him talk about being a lost and confused youngster. you're in a new chapter of your life pj, embrace the new level of confusion!

renegade

YEAH! glad to know that I'm not the only one who knows that's Prince's hottest song. Nice flow from PJ, but.....I will cosign a little bit with renegade. I know that Pigeon John has a younger audience, but how many songs can he do about him getting ditched by girls and struggling to get a record deal, both of which he has.

In response to renegade, he does touch on his current life situation in his album And The Summer Time Pool Party on both Welcome to the Show and Growin' Old.

As far as him continuing to write about being an awkward youngster, perhaps that time of life is just a source of inspiration for PJ. I know for me, I connect to his songs better that way than if he talked about how awesome he was with girls. In my mid-twenties I'm not quite a lovestruck teen anymore either, yet I still connect with what he has to say for the shared experience. Different walks of music for different walks of life. To each their own so to speak.
