Remembering a West Coast Classic: "Rest In Piss" by Brotha Lynch Hung

Posted on February 12, 2007 2:31 AM

BrothaLynchImage1.jpg

It's Monday, and you know how we get things rollin'...

I’ve been waiting to find some way to do a Brotha Lynch blog (he is from Sacramento, after all) and since Ron Mexico asked for it, so here it is. This is easily the most famous and most oft-quoted Brotha Lynch song ever, so it was an easy choice. It’s gotta be “Rest in Piss.”

There haven’t been a whole lot of rappers that gangster cats, regular dudes and backpacker kids could all get down with, but Lynch is one of those rappers. Maybe it was different since we all had love for him since he was from Sacto (the Garden Blocc, which is a Crip neighborhood in North Sacramento off of the Garden Highway), but I can remember being in high school and knowing people from all different walks of life who owned Season of Da Siccness, including myself. And just about every person I know who grew up in the Sacramento area can finish the verse if you start ‘em off with “It’s EBK all day, every day ‘til the day I die...”

Even though his lyrics were pretty gruesome and almost comical in how over the top they were in terms of the whole cannibalism/EBK (Eden Baby Killa) thing, Lynch spit that sped-up, anunciated gangster shit better than anyone else. Lynch was- and still is -a lyricist, even if his subject matter wasn’t exactly on the traditional hip hop vibe. I’ve heard stories from more than one person about Lynch showing up to random Sacramento house parties and kicking freestyles to whatever kind of music was playing, and killing it. And dude had a crazy stage show from what I heard as well; a friend of mine went to a Lynch show back in the day and said he came out in a coffin and had breakdancing pallbearers.

Season Of Da Siccness went gold (which is a pretty big deal for an album released on an independent label), but Brotha Lynch hasn’t had a ton of success since then. He still makes quality albums, but Siccness, which was his second album, is widely regarded as a prime example of hardcore rap at it’s finest. Lynch released an album in 2006 with MC Eiht called The New Season, which had the follow up to “rest In Piss,” “Agent Double 0 Deuce 4 Blocc & CPT (Rest In Piss 2006)” on it. He also has a new album slated for a 2007 release called Dinner & a Movie.

  • Yo, check out Brotha Lynch's shit on Tech N9ne's new Album...

  • .... which would be EverReady (The Religion), by Tech N9Ne.

    I actually think Tech might have signed him to his Strange Music label...

    Anyway, big ups Eighty, I might be an NY cat, but I really appreciate the unique perspective you bring to this site. Not a lot of guys who grew up with this stuff out their writing from personal experience.

    Hold it down man.

    Oh yes, and First and Second.

  • MrMe3zUp!!! says...
  • in terms of the whole cannibalism/EBK (Eden Baby Killa) thing

    ^^^ Eighty you square ass nerd EBK stands for Everyday Blood Killa you idiot. Lynch is a Garden Blocc crip (same set as CBo) so he was reppin

    "Its Ebk allday everyday til the day i die
    Im creepin thru ya set wit a mini Mac-10 A.R. 1-5" (Mac an a AR15..those are guns Eighty)

    Agent double O duece 4blocc is cool wit me bcuz of his flow alone but his lyrical content is evil (cannibalism, killin unborn babies an shit aint whats hood but i blame the sherm an the coke for that).

    Posted by: El Damu at February 12, 2007 9:38 AM

    ^^^ Man CBo done sold his soul to Gunit south talkin about how Young Buck is his boy now an he might sign wit him. Truthfully CBo fell off after ThugLordz album wit Yuk seein as how Yuk alwayd outshined him lyrically. CBo needs to go back to makin classics like Enemy Of the State.

  • Eighty

    Do your homework man. the Garden Blocc is in south Sac. The area you are talking about off of Garden Highway is Garden land. Completley different. Garden Land is mostly mexicans XIV's. This might have been a good blog if you knew what you were talking about. Eden Baby Killa??? WTF you must be on dope or somethin. In the words of Lynch "Get off the nitro tube". where are you from Canada? get it together man.

    JUGG

  • What the hell are you talking about? The Garden Blocc is in SOUTH SAC homie. 24th and 29th street GBC comes right off of Meadowview in the South right around the block from G-Parkway (what used to be G-parkway). I thought you were from out here. Eden Baby Killa? Dude, where are you from. You are an alien. EBK is everybody killa or for the Crip homies Every Blood Killa. You are not from sac and if you are you must have JUST moved out there. Thats sad that you screwed this whole blog up with your misinformation. Do your research if you don't know next time.

    Oh, and everybody knows Season of the Siccness was hot but LOADED was his best one yet. You are disappointing homie. Somebody needs to check your NOR*CAL pass.

  • February 12, 2007 12:20 PM
  • Thizzlamic Disciple says...
  • What do you know about the hood in SAC homie? What you know about Meadowview, 6900, Detroit, VGS 29th St., Valley Hi, Creek Mobb, The Flatz, GBC 29th 21st and 24th, Loma Verde, The Heights, Lincoln Village, GPW 4100 blk., TCG? Thats only ones you SHOULD know about even if you are square.

    If you are claiming to be lame to this here game in the 916 then I can forgive you because you don't know but I heard you on here talking like you love the River City and know alot about it homie. Whats up? How long have you been out here really?

  • Eighty,

    Much respect for this blog! I ain't never seen this video before. No love for Brotha Lynch over here in NY, especially back then. If you wasnt Snoop or Dre, your west coast shit wasn't makin NY radio.

    I think Lynch gets better lyrically every time out. He has really learned how to take a little off of the rapid-fire delivery but still attack, you know?

    Anyway, this is a true unsung hero of the west (at least to non-westerners) and I'm always happy as hell to see dude get a little shine.

    Thanks for listening... and please don't take what I said last week as a sign of disrespect. I like what you're doing for your region, mane. I checks it out, I just don't be commentin like that.

    Respeck,
    Ronaldinho

  • Barak for president? Why? Ron Paul for president.

    Barak ain't nothing but a house nigger sent to appease us and divide the vote. Don't be a fool.

    Compare Baraks voting record to Ron Paul. Oh, that's right, Barak has virtually no history in national politics so you CAN'T really make a decent comparrison.

    Do yourself a favor and read Ron Paul's Wikipedia page and ask yourself why the corporate controlled media doesn't want to shine any light on him even after he's announced that he's running for office.

    Also, he's running as a REPUBLICAN! Do the history, which party was the party of the slave owners? Democrats. Ron Paul is a TRUE Republican, not a phony like Bush.

    Historically Republicans are conservatives. Bush has spent more money than all US presidents COMBINED! He's had more signing statements than all US presidents COMBINED! He's not a conservative.

    Ron Paul has served in the military and knows about the horrors of war. He's a doctor (very smart). He believes in the right to have guns. He's all for free speech. And most importantly wants to do AWAY WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

    The only dirt they could find on him is in regards to him not wanting to use tax payer money to mint a coin for Rosa Parks. What they leave out is that he said we shouldn't waste tax payer money on things of this nature. What he did do was asks how many politicians would be willing to spend their own money on it. He was the ONLY politician that went into his pocket while the rest looked at their feet.

    Do you knowledge. Don't take what the media gives you as the truth. Read and study before you just start campaigning for the house nigger that they've offered us.

    And Hillary, don't get me started...

    I want EVERYONE that cares about our civil liberties and freedoms to read this...

    It's short. Four paragraphs. Get informed. Don't be fooled.

  • What a shame that I had to learn from a comedy routine, not a text book that World War I, yes WWI was fought not because of the assasination of Arch Bishop Ferdinand, but for control of IRAQ and it's oil.

    Watch and learn. This is very entertaining and extremely informative.

    Don't be afraid of the truth.
