Some of you may have heard of this group i was in called “The party fun action committee”. we released a critically despised album by the name of “Let’s get serious” on Def Jux records. basically, we were a hip hop comedy group but not in that corny way that everyone else who has every tried doing that has done it. it was me and my friend Jer “poking fun” at the currant state of music and , on a lesser scale, society in general. Nothing too deep though. Lots of dick jokes and “underneath the facade, you’re gay” type of humor. i like to think there’s a high brow air to our low brow musings but, i’m also somewhat full of shit.
Anyway, the album came and went. every now and then people will give me love for it and , i gotta say, that’s the express way to my heart. if you like that album, then we’re down on some level.
while it’s a little dated, i think most of it stands up ok.

i dunno who wrote it but they put in lots of time into it so props to them.
if you , by chance, don’t own this great out-of-print album , guess what? it’ you’re lucky day. try this link:

if it doesn’t work (it worked for me) just google it. it’s not that hard.
all that leads me to this.
there were 5 songs that never made the album for different reasons.
so, it’s my pleasure to give them to you and describe each one and why it didn’t make the album.
first things first:

BOOM!
now, let’s talk.
1)After school special
This is a song Jer and i made when we were VERY high. it’s the story of a teacher and his young student and it’s pretty much the creepiest song ever made. the beauty of it is there is not a single curse word in it yet it most likely will make your skin crawl by the time you’re half way through it. this one didn’t make the album cause, well, it just didn’t. it didn’t fit into the theme of the album and , honestly, it even creeps me out and i made it.
2)your vagina
This song was made right around the time john mayer was just getting big. neither jer nor myself understood why this terrible singer was getting so much love over his overly sappy love declarations. so, we made our own john mayer song. this was actually made after the album was finished so it didn’t make the cut. too bad though cause it would’ve fit nicely on the album.
3)Mesozoic 7
this song is jer and I poking fun at rap where rappers about rap but in an old school way. primarily jurassic 5. to clarify, i don’t have any issue with J5′s music. i own their early ep on vinyl. love the beats bah blah blah…but it was so easy to make fun of the whole “I heart hip hop!” crowd, so we did it. this one got left off the album cause people who knew J5 thought it might not be taken with a chuckle. apparently, those guys are some real dudes who might not be so into two white assholes from NYC making fun of them. fair enough. it didn’t make the album. i always felt it wasn’t that serious and the song isn’t on some “ether” shit. it’s pretty playful. but whatever, you got it now.
4)cream dreams
If you look at the album cover of “let’s get serious” you’ll notice me in the lower left corner looking like fat freddie mercury. this is because “Cream dreams” was a late pull off the album. “cream dreams” is a gay song. literally. it’s tongue in cheek to the max and , honestly, i don’t see how it could be considered THAT offensive to anyone who doesn’t take themselves way too seriously. my gay friends love it but i suppose that doesn’t mean shit.
this song got pulled cause some people felt it would cause an uproar of “def jux is homophobic!”. looking back, it’s funny cause, not enough people heard the album to be in an uproar about anything. in fact, had there been an uproar, i imagine the album would’ve sold a lot better. whatever the case, i do understand why they pulled this song. i don’t think it was necessary but that’s the nature of the business. safety first. this song remains a favorite amongst my friends though and that’s more important anyway.
5)gertrude
man..this song…Jer and i set out to make the most offensive song ever and i think we did pretty well. the whole idea was to take sappy r&b balladry and flip it on it’s ass by making the crooners the most despicable humans alive. this song was rightfully left off the album and , when i was informed of it, i didn’t question it for a second. it’s fucking horrible. but it’s also fucking awesome.
on a side note, i’ve played my mom this song. her response was “why did you have to kill her in the end?” fair play to you mom, fair play.
Id be more inclined to read your blog if you didn’t ignore my emails about using one of your songs on a lil slideshow I wanna use to promote my art. WTF.
WAT? i dunno what you’re talking about but go for it. as long as you’re not planning on making money of your slide show, it’s a non-issue. do you!
Sounds good. I’ll check it out. Check out our shit over at:

The PFAC download didn’t for me, it kept asking for a password if I tried to unzip it or play any of the files individually. I’m gonna google it though.
if the rapidshare link is down, it’s not my fault. that’s just the first link i found on the internet. lemme know if the mediafire one is down and i’ll re-up it.
As wierd as it seems
I was on your ninjatune page a couple of days ago where you mentioned this album
So i bought it
And despite its difference from “The Music Scene” or “Downtown Science”
I was impressed
If you wondering yes you are my favorite producer
And yes aesop is my favorite MC
So if neither you or jer are too busy
I think many would enjoy the return of PFAC
On a side note
Any chance it would be an issue for my to use your songs as instrumentals for the songs i have written?
hey,
as long as you’re not planning to sell the song you’re making using my beats, it’s a non-issue.
Okay sick
anyone find a working link for the album yet?
I remember ordering this album from HipHopSite.com if I’m not mistaken. It has aged terribly well, my dude! I’d love to see PFAC’s take on Drake/Cudi and the emo singer rappers of today’s blogs. Gotta run though–need some more chai!
Hey! Nice one with unleashing the much-sought-after rarities that both the fans have been clamoring for.
Any chance of releasing the instrumental version that nobody has ever expressed any interest in, whatsoever…? Um, no offense.
(Just shit-talking, man. I hate comments sections because jokes often fall flat. Look, just forget I said anything, OK? Great.)

Hi my name is.. irrelevent.
I wrote some of the wiki page. Just wanted to say, I like rap and I like comedy albums and this is the top of both lists and believe me i’ve got alot of comedy albums and most of them are shit so maybe actually thats not such a hard list. This album is one of my favoutites. I think it is hilarious, spot on and quite spiffingly witty. Not only does it accurately portray, deride and send up the state of “rap music” at the end of the decade but it is also one of the most extremely imaginative and “well produced” comedy albums too. If i had the money I would buy the rights to this bitch and pimp its ass across the Uk properly who I think would appreciate this album more (much like the middle class guardian readers of the early nineties got Bill Hicks.) I have bought and leant this album to friends who had just not been aware of it. Any hoo, thanks for letting me ride your nuts a second, I cant explain enough how much I appreciate and love this funny album. Thanks again and look forward to another “sonic jester adventure”. I doth my DEFJUX cap to thee.
