2000: A BASS ODYSSEY
IT ALL BEGAN IN THE LAND OF THE BABOON, WITH PLANTY OF FRESH FRUIT AND FUCKING. WHERE THE FUNGUS GREW, THE BABOON, THE ORIGINATOR, CHEWED UPON IT AND CREATED ALMIGHTY FUNK UNDER THE SUN.
LIFE OF THE BABOON WAS ACCOMODATED WITH DANGER AS WELL AS PLEASURE, FOR THE STRONGEST FEASTED UPON THE BODY OF HIS PREY. WHEN A GANG OF BABOONS STARTED WORKING FOR NO CAUSE BUT THEIR OWN COMFORT, THE BABOON BECAME HIS OWN GOD AND WORSHIPPER.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, ON THE TOP OF A HILL STOOD A TEMPLE OF SMOKE, WHERE A BABOON WAS INITIATED, TRASFORMING UPON THE SMOKE INTO MONKEY MODE. HERE, HE EVOLVED FROM HIS PRIMATE FORM TO A PRIMORDIAL CONDITION. WHERE THE SMOKE IS THE ONLY PATH TO FOLLOW, HE WANDERED INTO THE PLACE WHERE EVERYTHING IS NOTHING, AND NOTHING IS EVERYTHING.
NOT ACCEPTING THE BABOON AS THE FATHER OF LAND, AND LONGING TO FIND HIS OWN ORIGINATOR, THE MONKEY BEGAN HIS QUEST ALONG A ROAD PAVED WITH ILLUSIONS. HE CAME UPON THE TREE WHICH BORE THE APPLE, WHOSE SEEDS GAVE BIRTH TO GOOD AND EVIL. BUT HE CHOOSE INSTEAD THE FUNGUS, WHICH SPROUTED AT THE BASE OF THE TREE.
FAR, FAR AWAY, THE CITY OF MAN WAS BUILT BY ANOTHER WHO WORSHIPPED HIS OWN IMAGE, AND VIEWED CREATION AS HIS OWN. MAN’S SENSE OF TERRITORY WAS DEFINED BY A STRUCTURE CALLED THE WALL. SINCE HE HAD THE RIGHT TO HIS OWN SECURITY AS SET FORTH IN HIS LAWS, HE DEVELOPED A FORCE WHICH CALLED UPON THIS LAW, AND THIS LAW WAS CARVED INTO THE APPLE TREE FOR TO BEAR WITNESS. THE APPLE, WHICH HIS ANCESTORS HAD EATEN, CARRIED THE SUFFERING OF EXISTENCE -IMPLANTED IN THE STOMACH- AND IT WAS PASSED ON TO EACH NEWBORN THROUGH THE NAVEL.
THE MONKEY CAMEUPON THE CITY OF MAN, VIEWING IT FROM A HILL. AS THE CITY HAD PLENTY OF SMOKE, HE SEARCHEDFOR THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE. WHEN DARKNESS FELL, HE ENTERED THE CITY TO OBSERVE, BUT MOVING THROUGH STREETS AND ALLEYS, HE FOUND ONLY EMPTINESS. DISAPPOINTED THE MONKEY RETURNS TO THE HILL.
THE NEXT DAY, WHILE THE CHILDREN PLAYED IN THE STREETS, THEY ENCOUNTERED THE VISITOR’S FOOTPRINTS AND A PILE OF DUNG WHICH SPROUTED THE FUNGUS. THIS CREATED GREAT FEAR IN THE CITY. THE MEN GATHERED A FORCE TO HUNT DOWN THE INTRUDER, BUT ALREADY THE CHILDREN, WHO HAD EATEN THE FUNGUS, STARTED CHANGING FORM. AS THE ILLNESS STARTED SPREADING AMONG THE CHILDREN, A PANIC STARTED. SO THE CITY CALLED UPON ITS FORCE, ONCE AGAIN, TO GATHER ALL THE AFFLICTED AND EXILE THEM AS MOTHERS WEPT.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, IN THE LAND OF THE BABOON, THE FESTIVITIES CONTINUED UNTIL THEY CONSUMED EVERYTHING AROUND THEM -EVEN THE LAST LEAF OF THE TREE. SO IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THEY STARTED EATING THEIR WEAKEST MEMBERS.
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOWING THAT TIME WAS SHORT, ESCAPED INTO THE VAST NOTHINGNESS WHERE THEY MET THE OTHER OUTCASTS. AND THAT’S WHEN THE REAL SHIT BEGAN…

A Dutch TvProgram Loladamusica did an interview with Laswell. Other musicians talking about Laswell: Liu Sola, DXT, Nicky Skopelitis.
Talking about:
Rockit – Hancock, Bootsy, Pharaoh Sanders and mainstream music.
Showing around Las’s studio by DXT and Laswell’s Bass collection.
Some shots of Praxis, with Buckethead, Brain, DXT.
Axiom
I think around 1995-1996, because DXT is talking about a new project Altered Beats.

lyrics:
Very superstitious, writing’s on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout’ to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
You don’t wanna save me, sad is my song.
When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, yeh, yeh.
Very superstitious, nothin’ more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil’s on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, no, no, no
shut up!

lyrics
[Erick Sermon]
Hey young world, one two, one two
Check it out y’all
Uhh, Shadz of Lingo in the house
E Double’s in the house with Def Squad
on the funky fresh track with Shadz of Lingo
Mic check one two, yo you got my nerves jumpin around
and _Humpin’ Around_ like Bobby Brown across town
I ain’t with that, so don’t cramp my style
Step off me, I’m hyped like I had a pound of coffee
Yo how could you ask what I’m doin
when I’m pursuin, gettin funky with my crew and
My input brings vibes unknown like E.T.
Makes me phone home to my family
Cling, hello mom, I’m doin it, freakin more fame
than Batman played by Michael Keaton
I crossed over, let me name someone that’s black
with fame, and pockets that are fat
Heyyy, Erick Sermon, he’s one
Packs a gun, that’s bigger than Malcolm’s
Out the window, I look for a punk to get stupid
so I can shoot his ass like Cupid
E 2 bingos, down with the Shadz of Lingo
Here to bust out the funky single
Ahh shit, there goes my pager
I’ll see you later, because yo
[Chorus: Erick Sermon]
Every now and then, I get a little crazy [x4]
[Shadz of Lingo – 1]
One two how can I do it? I guess I’ll spit the real
Yo I pack much dick, with the cover made of steel hoe
Yes yes, never fessed or settled for less
One clown stepped, and got a hole in the fuckin chest
from the A.K., somebody scream MAYDAY
Took the sucker out, cause he clowned me on a payday
The funk is flowin to the maximum
from the E Double, while I kick the facts to them
Check a chill brother with class, rough enough
to run up and snatch the spine out a niggaz ass
Grip the steel when caps peeled, here to chill on the real
and don’t give a motherfuck how you feel
Thinkin you’re steppin to this, I kinda doubt it
Ain’t with the bullshit, so you can write a fuckin book about it
The big nigga with the bud and I’m on that
E kick the beat and yo you shoulda known that
[Chorus]
[Shadz of Lingo – 2]
Yo it’s the Lingo of the Shadz
Droppin that mellow but mad mackadocious
melodious metaphorical music with mo’ shit
that you used to, and stylin that you ain’t
What else I got to do but draw the pictures with paints?
[feedback] Oh no, there’s my mic squeakin
A soundman’s body turnin up every weekend
Some think I done the killin, you know I can’t remember
I can’t recall a full week since this past December
And mics catchin fire ‘fore I get the chance to touch em
Yo Al. B catch the buddha lightin torches, I’ma bust em
But don’t rush em, leave the pyromaniac alone he heard the words
to hit em on the red dot and knows I’m thinkin bout MURDER
Run (run) hide (hide) you can’t (can’t) escape (scape)
The hit (the hit’s) on, I got the (got the) papes (papes)
Dodge (dodge) red (red) lasers (lasers) scannin (scannin)
brings (brings) fly (fly when) rhymes (rhymes) landin (landin)
Let me go .. no .. yo, I’m straight (straight)
Chill (chill), yo I need AUHHHH, air, wait (wait)
Cross (cross) fade (fade’s) a killer (killer) style and (style and)
where’s the (where’s the) soundman
Tell me (tell me) was I whylin (whylin)
cause (cause)
[Chorus]
[Erick Sermon]
Hey young world
Check me out, check me, check me out
Hey young world
New York’s in the house
Def Squad’s in the motherfuckin, house
New York’s in the motherfuckin, house
Rowdy Records in the motherfuckin, house
Def Squad’s in the motherfuckin, house
E.D.’s in the motherfuckin house (Def Jam boy)
Shadz of Lingo in the motherfuckin house
Peace.. and we out (Russell Simmons boy)
