A few months ago I came across an album that could only be described as "Pirate Hip-Hop."
No, I do not mean "illegal hip-hop" like 2 Live Crew, I'm talking about honest-to-God-Shiver-Me-Timbers Pirate Hip-Hop! Their name is Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew, and their album "Rimes of the Hip Hop Mariners" shows how to do a gimmick right. (Check out the song "It's All About the Booty" on iTunes to hear how brilliant it is.)
Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew - "Yo Ho Ho"
After hearing this album I remembered a pop punk band by the name of Random Ninjas. I dropped a line to them to have them send their album to our radio station (WMWM Salem). They sent it down, and I took a listen. Again I liked what I heard.
Random Ninjas - "Oi" (Live at Anime Expo 2006)
As soon as I heard Random Ninjas, a thought popped in my head: the Ultimate Showdown between Pirates & Ninjas! We will have Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew take on Random Ninjas in a music battle to settle this long-going battle once and for all; and I can think of no better arena than at Anime Boston 2009!
I call on both parties, as well as Anime Boston, to let this event happen. We will have each band play a 9-song set (whoever goes first will be decided in a coin toss), and then -- if necessary -- have a member of each band take each other on in an old-school battle! The winning group will be picked by the audience.
Let's settle the score!
