Insult to Injury: Week Ending 11/1 with The Iron Sheik

Here's what the Noisey editors were listening to this week when not getting their backs broken by the legend.

Every week, the Noisey editors form like Voltron and assemble everything they've been listening to over the last week. Voltron's head this week is none other than special guest, the legend himself, the King Jesus of the Twitter, The Iron Sheik..

Respect all music except for the piece of shit Chris Brown.

New generation love the my good friends the Action Bronson the Riff Raff and the Chance The Rapper. They know how to make it bubba. Also my friends the Capital Cities like the Beatles but better.

Also old generation the Rob Thomas like the Frank Sinatra. Respect to the Smashing Pumpkin the Black Key and the King of the Leon. ‎They all have the real heart and work to make the people happy. Not like that piece of shit Michael Bolton.

Iron Sheik, the legend

Redman - "Tonight's Da Night"
At some point this morning, Drew Millard recommended the Redman favorite Muddy Waters as a post-Halloween hangover cure. That record lead to down a dank, dark path towards a Brick City k-hole, eventually ending with the 1992 classic "Tonight's Da Night" featuring Hurricane G., Reggie Noble's swap from getting "punk-smoove" to "rough shit" is one of the greatest tracks of the era, mixing Isaac Hayes's "A Few More Kisses To Go" with the classic Mary Jane Girls track "All Night Girls" on the hook. Fuck wit it.

Iron Chic - The Constant One

Hey bubba, this week I listen to no good dog shit band Iron Chic because I convince the real Iron Sheik to interview them and make their ass humble old country style. After I edit through questions from the legend it hard not to talk like him. So fuck to you if you don't like new album by band Iron Chic. They real good jabronis in my book. They make punk music people be proud to listen to. Not like that no good raisin balls Pete Wentz. He worse than the Michael Bolton mother fucker. Respect to the jabronis Iron Chic. Have a good day.

Blood Orange - “You’re Not Good Enough”
Dev Hynes’ second record as Blood Orange—Cupid Deluxe—has been my jam this week. It’s not out till Nov 18, but let’s just say it’s saxy as fuck. And sexy too. This song is an excellent indication of what to expect: it features the forever entwined vocals of Friends frontwoman (and Dev’s squeeze) Samantha Urbani, staccato guitars, and a seriously funked-up bassline. Even though I'm really not into lyric videos, I am into Dev’s MJ-inspired, white sock-exposing ankle-swingers. Tight.

Fredo Santana - "Jealous" ft Kendrick Lemar

So I'm on Benadryl right now, and it's super crazy. Time seems like it's moving slow and I can't think straight. and also it's sort of banal because it's just fucking Benadryl, y'know? Anyway, there is one thing that does make sense, and it's Kendrick Lamar's verse on Fredo Santana's "Jealous." Kendrick is sort of the best rapper rapping right now, he feels like a jazz musician, an old soul. He just perceives beats differently than normal humans. If I rapped I would suck at it.
