Brian Wilson's Psychotic Surf Rap

Have you heard Brian Wilson's manic, collaged rap? The song, from way back in 1989, is called "Smart Girls," and included Dr. Eugene Landy as the hype man and co-producer. (It was part of the appropriately titled Sweet Insanity album.) The other producer's Matt Dike, who was a member of the Dust Brothers, and worked on Paul's Boutique. Take a listen over at WFMU's blog. Maybe it's just us, but Wilson's old-school flow has a decidedly different swing to it ... maybe more of a shuffle? It's the stuff Kennedy Center awards are made of.

This makes Bullion seem like even more of a genius.

I cannot express with with words how bad this is. I simply can't.

This is such old news. It's even been posted on the net before. Why such a big fuss now? It's more interesting that Wilson was just honored by the Kennedy Center this weekend.
