Spank Rock Artist Snapshot:

The future of hip-hop? Who cares? Shelf-life aside, though, Baltimore club/hip-hop group Spank Rock have made some of the most original, thoroughly insane dance music of the early 2000s. As distinctly regional as Chicago house and Detroit techno in the mid '80s, Spank Rock's raunchy blend of heavily deconstructed samples and beats with club music's hands-in-the-air accessibility and hip-hop's lyrical focus is the sound of Baltimore at the turn of the century. Spank Rock's 2006 full-length, YOYOYOYOYO, is a dusted mash-up of Paisley Park funk, Miami booty beats, and explicit yet cerebral raps.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Baltimore club, the city's rarely exported dance-rap style, is built on breakneck beats, eclectic samples and unspeakable raunchiness. MC Spank Rock and Producer XXXchange take all three elements to extremes."
Entertainment Weekly (p.75) - "The duo plucks subcultural sounds from across the map...to create experimental hip-hop that'll fry sub-woofers and offend parents." -- Grade: B+
Uncut (p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "By elevating Bounce's beat to form structured hip hop, tracks like 'Bump' and 'Touch Me' make this the most exciting independent rap around."
Magnet (p.108) - "Steeped in house music, early rock-the-bells rap, body-rock beats, absurdist funk and blue humor party records, YOYOYOYO moves breathlessly from one influence to the next."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[P]recocious, inventive and frequently dazzling. Spank's musical mastermind XXXchange transforms sounds wrung from cheap keyboards into whizz-bang sci-fi hip hop masterpieces."

Title Note

Undoubtedly one of the most inventive and unusual acts in hip-hop, the Baltimore-based group Spank Rock (made up of producer Armani XXXchange and MC Spank Rock aka Spank Disco) lays down 12 challenging tracks on their debut full-length release YOYOYOYOYO. Lyrically, Spank Rock mostly sticks to sex rhymes and clever braggadocio, while stylistically he delivers break-neck flows reminiscent of the earliest party MCs. On the production end, Armani XXXchange works with rapid-fire percussion and minimalist electro effects as well as classic break-beats from the days of Grandmaster Flash and Whodini. The result is something astonishingly different. YOYOYOYOYO moves from soundtrack music to an intense b-boy session to a backdrop for a spaced-out drum-and-bass party. What's most impressive is Spank Rock's ability to take the fundamentals from hip-hop's roots and mold them into a sound that is fantastically futuristic.
