Apparently, I'm not a valid source...about myself. Damn, the web is shit.
The same thing happened to me on everything2.com.
Lotsa faggots on the web. Here's my waste of time:
Not to be confused with Hi-C, High-C is the rap persona of Usenet troll
Jason Christie. His work is generally considered Nerdcore by the thugs,
and the geeks think he is too thugged out for nerdcore. The truth, as
always, lies somewhere in between.
High-C cut his musical teeth in Las Vegas, Nevada, during his formative
years as a punk/metalhead. There he consumed a steady diet of Black
Sabbath, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and the like, as well as Suicidal
Tendancies, Black Flag and thrash metal. In the background, however, were
groups such as The Sugarhill Gang, Rick James, and Africa Bambaataa.
He was actually a member of a breaking crew in the early 80s, and used to
perform with others to get money from drunks leaving various bars. One
compatriot, Joseph, went on to perform in a breaking show for a Las Vegas
hotel.
By 1984, Run-DMC was widespread, appearing on MTV regularly. However, at
the same time, Slayer was becoming big, and Metallica was huge. He didnt
become a rap fan proper until 1986, with the release of the Public Enemy,
Beastie Boys and Ice-T albums.
By 1988, Christie has adopted the moniker High-C, derived from his last
name, and the fact that he had been smoking pot on and off since the age
of 4. A 1989 edition of the Baton Rouge newspaper The Morning Advocate
showed Christie on the front page of the B section of the paper
sporting a six-inch mohawk, as High-C. Likewise, he appeared in the LSU
student newspaper under the same name.
High-C attended his first rap show with MC Razor Russ aka Timothy Archer
of grindcore band Gortician. The line-up featured: MC Hammer, EPMD, Ice-
T, Public Enemy and NWA with Ice Cube. He was but a drop of white in a
sea of some 15,000 black New Orleans rap fans.
It was in 1988 that High-C began writing raps. They were generally
embarrassing, such as this, which is probably the first rap hed ever
written:
My name is High-C in the street vernacular
So listen to me, Im about to rhyme spectacular
Kickin and hittin, cold throwin the shit
My brow covered with sweat, and my mic with spit
I dont mean to offend, but thats real life
Smashin the state without a gun or a knife
Exposin all suckers perpetrating a fraud
And Im doin it all with no help from God
I believe in myself cuz Im my own man
I want to help you out and Ill do all I can
I want to get it started by get one thing straight:
The government is what I hate
Tax this, tax that, its makin me sick
If you want to tax somethin,
Yo, Tax my dick
Circumstances placed High-C in an unusual position: he was an objectivist
libertarian LSD dealer atheist rasta rapper who hung out with metal
bands. By 1990, he had cut his first tracks. The first, Death Trip,
featured MC Razor Russ, and guitar by Antonio Busberos of Gortician.
Death Trip started out horrible, and ended less so. Rapped over a
Casio-quality beat on a four-track, it was considered an abortion, to be
disposed of. But by the next Gortician practice, Busberos had added some
Slayeresque guitar that transformed the track into something vaguely
listenable.
After that came a cover of the Geto Boys track, Mind of a Lunatic, a
great influence on this aspiring rap writer. Horrorcore, as it came to be
known, is an element that appears in many High-C tracks to this day.
Eventually (1995/96), High-C/Jason Christie became the drummer for
Gortician, and rapping took the backburner to his drumming duties.
However, at each Gortician gig, High-C would take the stage at the end of
the night and rap a few tracks, using O.D. Drugwar (High-Cs little
brother), or a random person from the audience as a substitute drummer.
This garnered a surprisingly good response from the metal crowds. It was
during this period that he became Jason Gortician, thusly christened by
Rich Hoek of grindcore act Brutal Truth.
When High-C began posting battle rhymes in response to other MCs online,
his repertoire grew by leaps and bounds. It appears he was never out-
written during this period of online keystyles in alt.rap and
rec.music.hip-hop.
He posted roughly twenty acapella tracks to MP3.com around 1997. This led
to collaboration tracks with The Fucking Pigs of Australia, TINC Project
of the U.K., and Guntgrutcher, Brian Magar of Imbalance Records
noteworthy electronic noise/grind act
But he didnt take rapping seriously at all, and the tracks were largely
humorous pisstakes. However, in 2001, the brilliant DJ Manticore of
London, Ontario emailed High-C with two tracks created with his acapella
vocals.
The tracks were Eternal Frost and Pope on a Rope, and they were real
hip-hop. Enthused by this turn of events, he and Manticore soon recorded
some 18-20 tracks over the next few years. His raps took on a techie edge
while attending college for information technology, and with the
development of his Silicon Valley persona, Sandwich Boy.
Manticore eventually named the group Meter Versus Yard, which is
decidedly better than High-Cs suggestion, High-C & DJ Manticore. Now, it
appears that the times have caught up to this groups vision, as interest
in quirky raps continues to grow by leaps and bounds. His latest effort,
La Violencia decries the total information awareness culture which
pervades the U.S.
Lyrically, High-C runs the gamut from nerdcore topics to literature,
conspiracy theory and serial killers. He doesnt write hooks, and most of
his raps are without topics. This is a combination of stream of
consciousness writing, and pieces of Usenet battle rhymes being joined
together to create complete songs.
For example, Flame Extension, self-produced one weekend, along with
When In Rome, a tribute to his DJ, contains a vast array of references:
From the depths of hell my wild style was born
I master peas and Creamed Corn
From the Socket of Davis
Say something shocking, outrageous
But were all so jaded, nothing can phase us
Im in touch with the earth; I got dirt under my nails
I power your third rails
Subway to Venus, with a detachable penis
I kick it with Daisy, Cooter and Enis
Generally speakin, Im at my best when Im tweakin
Everybodys workin for the weekend
But its no great plan to be pumpin for the man
Youre just wage slaves Get your head out the sand
Youre just a smurfer on a co-located server
And I serve my active pages with fervor
Rap zealot, I always live to tell it
And my rhymes are so fuckin dope you can smell it
I used to sell it but I had to go legit
I still get paid, so I really dont give a shit
I kick intensities in ten cities
Id like nothing more than to see your whole crew bleed
Epiphenomenal, sesquipedalian
Running roughshod
Over antediluvian antiquarians
Sinister, I roll em left handed
Your band heard my band and they fucking disbanded
I bring sedition, in a war of attrition
D-Generation on a five-year mission
To boldly go where you hoes are scared
People think Im wack, I never cared
I rock Plaid
Im never bored of Canada
Captain Fantastic?
I live to damage ya
I got baggage, I want to make cabbage
Im a smooth calculator like Babbage
Im not the white power ranger, but Im constantly morphin
Another orphan, high on endorphins
Im ambidextrous, when it comes to rhymin
Wear a suit and tie when I do my crimin
Carve your skull into a motherfucking bong
I smoke better than Tommy Chong
From Long Beach, all the way to Brooklyn
Ill leave you layin on the floor like a fucking used Trojan
With the dope that makes you choke and keeps you broke
I aint no motherfuckin joke
Note the oblique reference to rapper El P and the more subtle fourth
Dukes of Hazzard reference.
