synth-and-drum track and the rapper putting a pretentious girl in her place by suggesting that she needs "to see how McDonald's feel'' by discussing her hairstyle with the "Cheese Burglar.'' Spankmaster is always anarchic and bizarre, but Kool Keith has only stayed true to the homemade, gut-busting surrealism that animated early rap. He simply believes that hip-hop isn't about anything at all unless it's about getting really, really freaky.

From the hilarious, scathing intro, where Keith announces a ridiculous lineup of "big stars," to the tragic comedy of "Drugs," Spankmaster is the super-talented freak-o subversive at his culture-jamming, party-ruining best. "Yes Yes Y'all" proves Keith is smarter than any of us.
