Serengeti - Dennehy
Alright… Nert came through one day with Serengeti’s "Dennehy", sayin’ how, "Yo, you gotta hear this. It’s Abe’s boy out in Chicago. This guy is hilarious!" So the rapper in me was skeptical already. As my man Doc Strange once pointed out about my competitive nature, "the claws were out". But by the end of the first line it had already won me over. It was too funny to hate on. It was also way more creative than anything I had heard in a long time. This was the first track I heard from Serengeti so I had no point of reference which made my experience more fun than if I had a point of reference. What I heard was a guy that sounded a bit like Necro, if Necro wasn’t so "comfortable putting a full clip through the wonderful front of your skull" and was more of a family man, that lived for drinking O’Doul’s and watching the Bears while his wife made curly fries. So naturally I picture my boy’s dad rapping. That’s exactly what Serengeti wanted. Serengeti is not a big fat white guy at all. Serengeti doesn’t sound anything like Necro at all…except when he plays this particular Brian Dennehy fan who rolls around in a beat up Buick running errands for the wife. Show him some love!
