Pharoahe Monch
A hip-hopper takes on politics, culture and a pack of brats
By Dusti Rhodes
Published on January 24, 2008
Pharoahe Monch blends the sounds of soul, R&B and gospel for beats that back lyrics usually not about bitches and bling. An exception: his recent remix of Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab,” in which he expressed his distaste for the media’s obsession with tabloid dolls. “Place me with these snobby white girls / 12-step-program Lindsay Lohan / cold and bitchy Nicole Richie.” But Monch didn’t have to bite Winehouse to get noticed. The Queens-born rhymesayer captured critical acclaim with his political, culture-critiquing Desire, released on Wu-Tang’s home, Street Records Corporations, last year. Hear him today after Orgone and DJ Eleven start things off today at 8 p.m. Warehouse Live, 813 St. Emanuel. For tickets and information, call 713-225-5483 or visit www.warehouselive.com. Free, but you must RSVP at www.scion.com/livemetro.
