"Rammellzee was also instrumental as one of the original hip hop artists from the New York area who introduced specific vocal styles which date back to the early 1980s. His influence can still be heard in contemporary artists such as The Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill. His song Beat Bop was featured in the film Style Wars. Rammellzee makes a cameo appearance near the end of Jim Jarmusch's 1984 film Stranger Than Paradise."Only know about this guy at all because my dad picked up his "Bi-Conicals of the Rammellzee" CD in a Fopp bargain bin a few years back. Weird stuff. Dark and bleepy hiphop, kinda space-age. He called 'gothic futurism'. The follow track is not quite representative of the rest, but it's one of my faves; an amusing wee track about Operation Rentpayer.
