"First glimpse of Chilli (& Peaches) in Paris' Divan du Monde, in a crowd of TechnoParaders . . . not sure for the first 1/2 hour what to make of this member of the "Jackass Crew" - but damn I dug his old school tracksuit. Second glimpse - listened hard - caught words not standard in pop/rap - whoever can use "druthers" in a song (and RHYME it no less - with "f**k their mothers") surely deserves a serious listen. In SF, again w/Peaches - the rockinist, crowd pleasinest, well . . . ENTERTAINEST show I've seen in forever, and the album "The Entertainest" holds the spirit of all that showmanship, the honest desire to play some drop dead simple and solid beats to make the crowd get down, clever and original lyrics and an overwhelming sense of (uh oh - dirty word!) FUN. Buy this album and make yourself, and your neighbors, inexplicably happy."
Ain't you got this yet?

"Boy, if you ain't bought Chilly G, then you ain't heard te most unique rap artist since the Beastie Boys broke out with Liscensed to Ill.
The Entertainist is the best rap album since Paul's Boutique and if you don't check it out - well... you're just cheatin' yourself. 'Meditation' is the !
