Everlast's Whitey Ford Sings the Blues seemed pretty revolutionary to me at the time and there still isn't really anything else I'm aware of that blends acoustic rock and urban themes as well as he does on this album. I never heard much else of his I liked after this release, aside from the brief Eminem feud diss-tracks. Which IHMO Eminem won by destroying him and Fred Durst (hah that name makes me laugh) in "Girls".
The line that I think is subtly disturbing from this album is from the end of the second verse of the singles "Ends" [video | lyrics]
"From The Wetlands all the way to The Apollo if you're broke she's spittin' if you're rich she might swallow for the ends"
The Wetlands is a bar that is now out of business, but The Apollo is still operating. If you check out this map you can see what every New Yorker probably already understood, that this chick has been sucking dick up and down the entire west coast of Manhattan Island.
Yea, its kind of a gross lyric to choose, but I heard it recently and couldn't believe that there would be any natural wetlands anywhere any Apollo theaters anywhere so it got me wondering.
